DISAPPEARANCE

Stop Dragging for Verne
MilIet'S Body


With the cessation OF dragging
operations in the Lake Union ship
canal at Fremont to recover the
body Of Verne II. Millet, rs. son OF
an old and prominent Seattle fam
lily. Friday, the mystery Of his dis
appearance last Sunday was height
ened.
At first believed TO have drowned
in the canal, young Miliet was
the object OF dragging operations
by the police harbor patrol for four
days. The possibility that his body
is still in tho canal has been re-
duced to the vanishing point. police

found Of the young man since Sun.

Some time later the Fremont
bridgetender informed the police a
young man answering Millers
description was seen acting in Pc
culiar fashion on the bridge. A
pedestrian a short time afterwards
told detectives he had seen a dark
cap floating in the canal under the
bridge. Dragging operations were
then begun.
Despite a four-day search, how
ever. no trace of AIillets body was
been found. Il search by the police
detective bureau has also proved
fruitless. Millets parents declared
he had been complaining of severe
headache attacks before his disap-,
pearance. but the family thought
little of this until he vanished.
Millet had been employed as a clerk
in a downtown store.
