Taylor disappeared from his home Wednesday at noon. Taylor had been melancholy from some cause and Thursday night he was seen by several persons at the Sourthern bridge for over three hours. At 1:30 Friday morning John Hotland and John Glenn saw him jump or fall from the bridge into the river. After he had struck the water they heard him cry for help twice. The informed the bridge tender on the Ludlow side and Night Watchman Watler Martin jumped inot a skiff and rowed to the spot, but could find no trace of the supposed suicide victim. He was given up for lost and the family was informed of his supposed death. It appears, however, that if Taylor really contemplated suicide he changed his mind after leaving the bridge. It may be that the cold water of the Ohio broght him to his senses and suggested that life was really worth living after all. At any rate, he refused to sink, and struck out for the Ohio shore. He floated and swam down the river emerging from the stream at Sixth street and Mt. Hope road. At 6:30 Friday morning he appeared at the city hospital in a thoroughly exhausted condition. He stated that he had fallen into the river and swam ashore and had since wandered around. The hospital doctors say that Taylor had been drinking. ______________________________ ------------------------------ X-Message: #2 Date: Sat, 31 May 2003 21:06:59 -0500 From: Tina Hursh To: OH-FOOTSTEPS-L@rootsweb.com Message-Id: <1.5.4.32.20030601020659.006f3358@clubnet.isl.net> Subject: [OH-FOOT] divorce: Fogg - Hamilton County Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" December 3, 1904 The Cincinnati Times-Star MRS.

Accepted Invitation to Fight, But Didn't Expect the Pistol. Sixth Street Cafe the Scene of Unexpected Climax. The next time the waiters at Williams's restaurant, on Sixth street, get an invitation to "come out and put me out," they will probably decline with thanks. Their experience with a man claiming to be Frank MEEKS, a molder living in Covington, early Friday morning is the cause. MEEKS and a coompanion were in the restaurant, and for some reason were invited to get out. They did so, after an argument, in which MEEKS showed no dangerous proclivities. On the pavement MEEKS became belligerent, according to the story the police have and invited several waiters to step out and be whipped. Where two or three are gathered together against one, it looks easy, so out stepped the white aprons. Then MEEKS drew a pistol, and the disappearance of the aprons looked like the Hanlon brothers in their best days of stage work. MEEKS is said to have corraled the group in the hallway and held them prisoners until Patrolman LOWENSTEIN appeared. He took MEEKS to Central Police station and charged him with carrying concealed weapons. The woman escaped arrest. ______________________________ ------------------------------ X-Message: #6 Date: Sat, 31 May 2003 21:07:06 -0500 From: Tina Hursh To: OH-FOOTSTEPS-L@rootsweb.com Message-Id: <1.5.4.32.20030601020706.006faca8@clubnet.isl.net> Subject: [OH-FOOT] News: Heck - Hamilton county Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" December 3, 1904 The Cincinnati Times-Star WAS NOT A CORPSE. The crew of Patrol 1 was surprised by the recovery of a supposed dead man, with whom they were about to start for the morgue from Baker alley Thursday night. Detectived Jackson and Callahan were told by a citizen that a man lay dead in the alley. The investigated and saw a man lying behind a cellar door and apparently dead,a s his hands and face were cold. The patrol was summoned and the body taken from its position with difficulty, because wire had been entangled, probably by jokers, about the man's legs. A large crown had collected and when, after the man had been placed on a stretcher, he raised up and muttered, "Wot ish matter wish you?" there was amazement. Instead of the morgue the man, who gave his name as Walter Hamilton, but whose correct name is said to be Heck, was taken to Central station. -------------------------------- End of OH-FOOTSTEPS-D Digest V03 Issue #83 ******************************************
