Leroy had disappeared from that address about June 10, the date on which the trunk was shipped to New York. wa _ k NCE sls T He told the authorities that he ha knownr Mrs. Jackson in Birmingham. where he works as a linotype operâ€" @tor.‘ At her invitation. he said, ne wisited her in Detroit, where she told him she bad married Leroy and lfiat he , was "terribly jealous." Shoftly afterward Tatum said, he returned to Birmingham, Alabama, and explained Nert Tatum, the man whose name @ppeared on the mysterlous trunk, walked into police headquarters at Birmingham, Alabama and explained his connection with the case. tum, whose name and a Detroit street address were found marked on the trudik which concealed the crime for miore thrn a month.

He told the police he had handled a tronk for Fernandes or Leroy, who, he safd, also used the name of O. J. Woods. He produced a letter from Leroy, enclosing a check for the trunk in which the body was later found, . asking that it be stored by Branje until Leroy should call for it.

Fine, a Rideau street drygoods merchant is â€" suing Max Feller, who runs an opposition store across the street, for $5,000 damâ€" ages. Mr. Fine claims that he planâ€" med a sale on his premises, spending several hundred dollars in advertising and considerable time. He claims that this was an attempt to forge his name, and that he sufferâ€" ed a considerable loss as a result. In anâ€"attempt to divert business from Feller‘s store ke stationed one of his clerks there to tell the people that they were golpg to the wrong place, anmd that the sale was across _ the street.

A SPLENDID PARADE Stratford, August 25.â€"Even if Mayâ€" or Stevenson was not the illustrious potentate of Mocha Temple, London, nobody here would have offered any objection to the city being given over to the Shriners toâ€"day. ‘The $0 memâ€" bers of the FarQua Club of Shriners, headed by and named _ after Noble Charles Farquharson, undertook . to give the citizens a demonstration of what good fellows the members of the craft are, ard they succeeded beyond their highest expectations. The pic nic staged here toâ€"day was in _ every respect the most entertaining affair in many moons. , The program was planâ€" ned, irrespective of expense, to amuse the guests and the citizens generally, and the committee, headed by Noble Dougall MacDougall McCallum, wore the smile that won‘t come off when the day‘s proceedings ended toâ€"night at the Avan Casino with the merriest dance which the popular jazz palace has ever witnessed. Stratford, Aug. 26.â€"David J. Moore, aged 30, of Sebringville district, in Elâ€" lice Township, was the victim of $ fatal accident at the farm of Mr. Wm.

His parents are Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Moore, of Wartâ€" burg, Ellice Township, and one bro: ther, Elmer, is engaged in the offices of the McLagan furniture factory here. Another brother, Ralph, and two #i8â€" ters, Mary and Pearl, at home, also survive.
