KILLED BY
HIS LACK OF HUMOUR
New
Aristide Blain lies dead 'in York recently by his own hand because he lacked a sense of humour.
Because of his French Canadian birth Blain was known to his friends as Frenchie,
Police investigating the murder mystery of pretty Frances Marks have been seeking a criminal known only
as Frenchie.
Blain's follow workers jokingly accused him of being the "real Fren- chie," and told him the police, would get him sooner or later.
Blain took them seriously and he hanged himself after penning this note to his wife: "Fm wrongfully suspect- ed of murder, and I am glad you know I'm as innocent as you."
