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 yesterday discovered dead beneath a railway trestle at Northampton (Massachusetts), from which he had apparently leapt. Grose’s chum, Hugh Straus, aged 21, a first-year student at Dartmouth College, was to-day found cut in two by a train at Thetford (Vermont), having apparently laid himself’across the tracks. The boys Jiad'been classmates at a preparatory school until their graduation last June. Their parents insist that there is no possibility of a suicide pact.
