MYSTERY TRAGEDIES IN AMERICA
(Received 10 a.m.)
NEW YORK, February 4
Strange tragedies, involving the sons of two well-known New York families, occurred within 24 hours in New England college towns. Francis Grose, aged 21, first-year -student at Anherst College, was discovered dead yesterday beneath a railway trestle at North Hampton, Mass., from which he had apparently leapt. Grose’s chum, Hugh Straus, aged 21, a firstyear student at Dartmouth College, was found today killed by a train at Thetford, Vermont. Apparently he had placed himself on the track. The two young men had been classmates at a preparatory school until their graduation last June. Their parents insist that there is no possibility of a suicide pact.
