Mr. Hunkm went immedi- ately to the police office with the let- ter, and accompanied by Police Con- stable Fulton went to search the field mentioned. Gray had returned from the West only a few days prior to the tragedy. and on Monday had paid a visit to the Undertaking Parlors, where he held friendly conversation with Mr. Hunkin. During his visit he enquired casually the cost of a funeral. Upon being ask- ed as to his curiosity, he replied, “You never know when you may want one; you may get sick and die, or you may be run over by a car!” Mr. Hunkin told him approximately the cost but said that he could more definitely tell him when he had new contract prices from Toronto.

Workers with deceased on the en- gineering song at the Pamour report him to be a nice gentlemanly young chap, and say he has been employed there for almost two years. Rumor has it that since returning from the West he has jokingly told of his intention to end his life, but no de- finite reason. beyond an undoubtedly unbalanced mind is given for his act.
