A Ticket Agent, Dying of Consump- tion, Disappears With $1,200, WANTED FUN BEFORE DEATH A New York despatch says: Dying from consumption, C. M, Willets, a ticket selier in the employ of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Rail- road Company, frequently expressed a desire "to have a good time" be- fore he passed away. at an early hour yesterday morning Willets left for parts unknown, and about $1,200 belonging to the company disappear- ed at the same time. Persons who iknow Willets say that he will really have a " good time" if the police don't Catch him. Willets is 38 years old, and lived with his mother on Long Island. He was not regularly employed by the riilroad company, but was an " ex- tra" man who had been working oif and on around the Grand Central Station for some time. That he had the confidence of the Officiais of the road is shown by the fact that he was the only ticket seller employed who was not under bonds According to railroad men at the Grind Cenfral Depot, doctors recently told Wille s that he was in the last of consumption and that 'couidn't live long. The man is al- leged to have said to several persons round the depot that as he would be a long time dead, he intended to have some fun before his name was carved on a tombstone. They thought it a joke. Willets was in the habit of closing his office at midnight, after the last train left, placing the receipts for the day in the safe. The money: was taken to a bank the next morning. Owing o the early closing of the banks on fiaturday, the receipts for that day are left the safe until Monday morning. Willets sold tickets until midnight Sunday. When he started away the other clerks\thought that he was in an unusually happy frame of d.
