    2. Tuesday July 22,2008 TroyRecord Article 100years agoWednesday June 22 , 1908 “District Attorney Jarvis P. O’Brien confers with the doctors who did the autopsy on Hazel Drew, who died July 7th,and the doctors now seem to be backing off from their earlier assertion that she was murdered. They say that life was extinct before she was thrown or fell into the water. They said distinctly there was a wound on the back of her head sufficient to cause death. How it was inflicted they would not say. Detectives are picking through more of Drew’s possessions and are intrigued by letters from Mr and Mrs Frank Jones of Waterville,ME. Mrs Jones,a former Troy resident,in one letter asks Hazel to tell her husband that he should not forget he has a wife in Waterville. More recently on July 16, Mrs Jones wrote to Hazel’s Aunt, Minnie Taylor, to assure her that she would destroy all her correspondence with Hazel except for 3 postcards "that could hurt no one". A request for further information on the Jone's gets an alarming response: Frank Jones has been missing and hunted by the Waterville police since last Saturday, July 18th.In a separate development, Detective Duncan C. Kaye is trying to determine the identity of a young man whose photograph is found in Drew’s suitcase. " **************Looking for simple solutions to your real-life financial challenges?
