Identified Man's Body Found in River |
| LAWRENCE, Mass., Mar. 16.—Mrs. Patrick Delaney of Lowell, today
informed the authorities that she believed the body found in the Merrimack river here last week is that of her husband who disappeared from his home in Lowell early in the year. She viewed the body at the tomb in Bellevue cemetery and could not be positive in her identification because of the fact that the body was badly decomposed. The general appearance of the body, however, convinced the woman that it was that of her husband. |

Florence Browne
Niece of Whitaker Wright Questioned by Police. |
NEW YORK, March 16.—Whitaker Wright, arrested yesterday at the
request of the London police, was taken to the Federal building today to be arraigned before Commissioner Alexander.
Miss Florence Brown, said to be his niece, who arrived with him yesterday, and who disappeared from the Albemarle hotel later in the day, went to the office of U. S. Marshall Henkel with her counsel today. She was not a prisoner.
Miss Brown, while loth to answer questions, said she was the niece of Whitaker Wright, but knew nothing about his financial affairs.
Mr. Wright, she said, did not bring a large sum of money with him.
“It is not the custom of English people to travel with large sums.”
she said. “They secure letters of credit or drafts. I have only a
small sum with me, enough to carry me along; but of course I am able
to secure any amount I need for any purpose.”
Miss Browne said she would return to England soon. |
