Get Ready for Tomorrow

A War Loan Drive isn't going: onsright now, yet
the time is ripe to bring Bonds to attention again
The is moving at an accelerated pace Victory in
Europe is within our grasp. This week the following
bit of information from the U. S. Third Army

fired 100000 rounds of ammunition. Those Shells fired
from light artillery pieces, cost 2,500,000
Yes, Uncle Sam is asking us to loan him the money
to help finance the war Today and every day. till vic
tory 1t takes a lot of money-but we care more for
lives than dollar cost But Old Uncle is offering us
GIs something more than chance to invest in saving
our lives. chance to get ready for tomorrow.
No matter how carefully planned, the period of
adjustment to peacetlme economy after this war is
will not be easy Those safeguards that the law
offers the returned veteran cannot take into consid-
GRAFTON every possible contingency that may arise We
must be prepared to help ourselves too.
We can face the future with confidence if we
begin today to meet it. We sign up for the Class
"B" Allotment Plan Each month we can invest some
money in the future We watch it grow. The safest
investment in the world = each Bond third more
valuable after ten years.
We cannot be apathetc to the situation-the
need for money, nor to futures. The Class B
Allotment Plan permits us to invest any amount we
desire on monthly basis. Naturally the amount we
can afford will vary with grade and rank and our
personal situation. Men in the higher grades and
officers will no doubt be able to afford greater
monthly investment But for the rest Of us new
opportunity has come along. The "GI BOND" for
enlisted only, may be purchased for only $3.50,
and be worth $40 upon maturity If that is all you
afford you may purchase it regularly the Class B
Allotment Plan. If you afford more, invest more.
Get ready for tomorrow!

Retreat

When evening falls around me
And the sun is out Of sight
And the darkness creeps upon me
And covers with night =.
Tis then rest in splendor
And close these earthly eyes
And drift away to dream land
Where consoling visions rise.
Away from world beset by war
Away from hut two, three"
A fleeting moment of happiness
AS visions sweet see .
A charming paradise just for two
A mansion in the sky
A moments fill of naught but bliss
For folks like you and l.
Some folks may not find such JOY
In fleeting dreams like these
But they thrill me through and through
And put my heart at ease. -..|

AS though they're from above

Bonier denied everything, but he found guilty

Later he managed to win a second trial only
to discover that the state this time had an even

He was executed on July 81 1907.

Death Of Shores
Resident Listed
as Suicide Case

VAN DYKE-Ernest Leuener,
50-year-old Shores resident, was
found dead in his garage Sunday
the victim of carbon monoxide
gas, and following investigation
of the case by Coroner William
d. Clyne, police classified the
death as suicide.
According to police records,
Leuener lay beneath his car in
the garage after starting the mo-
tor, and. with a blanket draped
around the exhaust pipe, inhaled
the fumes. He lived at 22480
Wildwood.
The death was discovered
when a neighbor, Grace Schultz,
%, telephoned the house and be-
came alarmed when there was
no answer. She walked TO the
dwelling and noticed smoke
coming from the garage. When
police were called the man had
been dead for some time.
Leuener had lived in the
Shores for about eight years,
and as far as police could ascer-
tain had no American relatives.
Neighbors said he had been de-
spondent because of poor health
and recently underwent surgi-
cal operation. Police found no
message relative to Leuener'S
action.

STRANGE PARADE
A blonde who once threatened
Mrs. Patterson's life in a cock
tail bar, a childhood sweetheart,
a Negro yardman, peddler and
dozen others flashed momen-
tarily into view but officials
showed particular interest in a
party the night before the ma
tron was slain and at which, wit

become i'll.
But, always, the authorities
came back to what, evidently,
they considered their prime lead

scheduled examination of Pat

flatly rejected by Johnston who

On Dec. IL the formal ex-
animation of Patterson on the
murder warrant got under way

On Jan. 3. Justice Jeanette
formally dismissed the murder
charge against Patterson on the
motion of Prosecutor Johnston.
The prosecutor cited his own
conviction that 'insufficien.

in the investigation and that he
doubted that a conviction could
be obtained.

The result was tantamount to
the complete clearing of the ac-
cused automotive engi nee r.
While Johnston pointed out that

be forever beyond the arm of the
law no matter what kind Of
evidence could thereafter be

flee to inquire into the progress
of the investigation.
BY that time not only had the
blood splotched kitchen been
rendered all too wholesomely
clean but, unfortunately, even
proper Photographic records OF
the scene were totally lacking.
No adequate explanation OF
laxity apparent during the early
hours of the investigation has
ever been forthcoming save upon
the grounds that those officials
in charge lacked familiarity with
even the fundamentals of homi-
eide investigations.
TIME OF DEATH
Nevertheless 1t was readily
ascertained by Raul that Mrs,
Patterson, her body pierced by a
total of six knife wounds, had
been dead Approximately one
hour" prior to Mattingly's arrival
upon the scene.
DR.. Ralph E. Hawley, testify
ing during a coroner's inquest,
said that wounds of the type
which had cleaved Mrs. Patter-
sons heart could, under certain
circumstances, permit life to
linger for from two to three
hours" No more definite esti-
mate of the time Mrs. Patterson
had been attacked was ever es-
tablished.

authorities and of lack of cooper

in conference between himself
and Prosecutor Johnston.
During the resultant formal
hearing a total Of more than two
dozen witnesses were interro-

The result was a finding, on
Nov. "a. 1899. that Mrs. Pat
terson "came to her death from
stab-wounds from a knife in
the hands of Herbert F. Patter-
son." the husband who had been
found calmly at work in his De-
troit office when his wife's NUT
ilated body was found! :
The accused man had been
grilled constantly-at one time
for is consecutive hours-dur-
ing the preliminary investiga-
ton. At all stages Of the in
quiry he stoutly maintained his
innocence, told of having kissed
his wife goodbye as he left the
home shortly before 8 a. M, and
repeated time after time his as
sertion that II loved my wife.
! l did not kill her and do not
know who might have done it,
The serious, soft-spoken en-
gineer gave every outward APP
pearance of a desire to appre-
bend and punish his wife's as
sailant. The victims mother,
Mrs. Ida Jones, of Three Riv-
ers, was shocked both at her
daughters death and at the ac-
cusaton facing her son-in-law.
Diminutive- and dainty her eyes
flashed as she insisted that He
never could have done q thing
like this. Why Pat was always
good to Farrell and we all liked
him enormously"

1t Is the hope of every new
sheriff, of virtually all police
men and certainly Of the public
atlarge that somehow, some
day a damning clue that will
identify the comely woman's
assailant will be unearthed.
1t will be six years on Friday
