Mourn Death of Pal
By ELMER WILLIAMS

This cheeess day for hundreds OF Dearborn choten

David Gaines murdered Saturday by two young gunmen
They couldn't quite realize that their handsome curly

their streets again.
Because long ago they had forgotten that Gaines was

Gaines would have been retired
in two years on pension. Then
the family would move to the
farm at Salem, III.
Grandmother and Grandfather
Gaines, who are both so. still live
there.
In fact, only Friday Gaines re-
turned from a furlough spent with
his parents. He had come back
ahead c time because he wanted
to spend one day on an outing
with Boy Scout Troop ST y, OF
which he is the scoutmaster.
During the day he had read
the story OF a Detroit policeman
who had accidentally killed a
watchman when they mlstook
each other for burglars.

"SomethIng like that is going
10 happen 20 me If don't quit
that watchman's job at the Club
Haymarket," he remarked 10
his wife. Louise. 81 don't think
I'll 90 down there any more
When Mrs. Gaines and the two
children, David Jr, II, and Doris,
9. returned 10 the house last
night after meeting at the
Maple School, Gaines was asleep
in bed
When she awakened early this
morning he was gone. Appar-
entity. she decided, her husband
had gone 10 the club after all,
10 protect the two youngsters who
worked there on Friday nights.
Then she saw her brother-in-
law, JEFF Dean. who is head OF
the Dearborn mounted police,
walking slowly toward the house.
"He came 30 tell me what
had happened" said Mrs.
Gaines. But l think l knew II
before he opened the door"

land Funeral Home, 540l Schae-
fer. Dearborn. and the body Will
be taken to Salem for burial.

NEVER HAD A CHANCE

"The way We reconstruct the
thing" Nielsen said, Gaines
never had chance.
I'VE believe that the two ban
dts hid In the furnace room
before the midnight closing
hour. Gaines was just hack at
work after two weeks yaca-
tion and the bandits, who had
probably cased the place,
thought he was still absent
after one of the bajdits
locked up the two young people
both probably went upstairs and
were headed toward the safe
when they spotted Gaines
asleep on a table near the bar.
They must have made n
noise which aroused Gaines and
ne must have leaped 90 the floor
trying 10 pull his gun at the
same time. Even while half
asleep he must have recognized
that the situation demanded
action.
One bandit beat Gaines 10
the draw and he died Instantly.
The bullet that killed him was
80 caliber.'

The suit is against the r & s

The suit for S3,797.SS charges
that the company overcharged
the owner of the home at 9l35
Peterson S1.67443 for repairs on
the house which is assessed at
only Sl,040.
a second count in the same
suit charges the company with
overcharging the owner OF the
house at 9112 Peterson approx
mately $3.50 on a small repair Job
Woods estimates that in the
Detroit area there are approx
matety 46 concerns which are Vio-
lating the OPA price regulations.
Carrico pointed out that many of
the concerns have mushroomed
into business since 1912 and do
not even have offices.
FREE ESTIMATES COSTLY
A typical method OF fraud is
10 charge commission for sales
men who do not exist. Another is
T to advertise an offer of free esti-

these free" estimates will run
in the neighborhood Of $500 when
the bill comes in.
