“This woman got a letter from' her husband the other day, mailed here in Detroit, telling her he was too discouraged, too broken in spirit, to go on. He said he was going to kill himself,” Snyder explained, “and right away she wrote asking us to find him. “She was afraid he might be a little unbalanced, or maybe hungry because of lack of money. She said they had been devoted through life and that after he had lo6t his money in a little business there in Georgia he had come north. “Well, we can > find him, all I right, but we’re too late,” went on ! the lieutenant. “His body's over in , the morgue. He ended his life just about the time Mrs. Holderman was writing this letter.”
