Davis is 81; his wife is 10 years
younger. They have no children.
The Nicholsons have two other
children: a boy of 81 an da girl of 10.
ELABORATE PLANS ARE
MADE BY DAVIS
Apparently the plans of Davis were
well made. He told his wife Tues.
day that he would have to go to
Mount Pleasant. Ia, to attend a court
case concerning an estate. To back
this up he showed her a telegram,
which may or may not have been
authentic.
That evening Mr. and Mrs. Davis
went TO the Milwaukee depot. where
Davis was to catch a train at e:45.
He bought transportation to Mount
Pleasant and Pullman reservation to
Council Bluffs.
Then, he discovered. the S:45 was
slow train. Davis said he would
wait better one. He and his wife
came back uptown. Later Davis
left Mrs. Davis, telling her he was
to catch faster train at 1l:15.
That wassthe last seen OF him..
+ II was discovered later, however
that the tickets, had been csshed
in. Further investigation proved
that Davis had sold his car to the
Harmon Auto store at Ninth and
Westlake, for s1,0a5 He had with
him, in addition, about s16S in
cash. ~ ST
