STRANGE TRAGEDIES.
DEATHS OF AMERICAN STUDENTS (United Press Association—Copyright) NEW YORK, February 4. Strange tragedies involving the sons of two well-known New York families occurred within 24 hours in two New England college towns. Francis Grose, aged 21, a first-year student at Amherst College, was discovered dead yesterday at Northampton, Massachusetts, beneath a railway trestle, from which he had apparently leapt. Grose’s friend, Jerome Straus, aged 21, a first-year, student at Dartmouth College, a son of Hugh Straus (owner of a noted departmental store), was found to-day cut in two at Thetford, Vermont, having apparently laid himself across the tracks. The boys had been class-mates at a preparatory school until their graduation last June. Their parents insist that there was no possibility of a suicide pact.
