HUSBRND DESERTED
SICK WIFE AND BABY
COLLECTED MONEY AND HAS
NOT SINCE BEEN SEEN WAS
DESPONDENT AND THREAT
ENED SUICIDE.
Eluier,. Lyons, an insurance agent
and solicitor for the Metropolitan In
surance company, disappeared sud
denly yesterday and has not since
been sj.'en by his employers.
Lyons is a young man, about 23
years old, and resided wi.h his wife
and child at 11H Washington avenue.
His wife has been very 111 with pneu
monia for several days and he has
had considerable to worry him, the
baby being only seven months old.
It is said he threatened to commit
suicide and some fear tiiat he may
have done so while in a despondent
mood.
Before leaving his home yesterday
morning he kissed the baby and siart
ed otit. When he got to the dotir he
retraced his steps anil again caressed
the infant after which he went lo the
office of the Metropolitan company
ind drew his salary. He has not
been seen s'nee.
A Bulletin representative called at
the insurance office and was told taat
Lyons had collected about $."0 of the
company's money which had not been
acjoouuled for. The impression was
that he either ended his life or
skipped out with the money. His
wife is "aid to be very 111 with pnett
mon'a and unless given proper atten
tion may not mirvWr.
Lyons came to Cairo from Poplar
Bluff about a month ngo and has since
been working for the Metropolitan
company. He is not a drinking matt
and came highly recommended. If'
is a member of the cjurcli and it is
difficult for those who know him to
believe that he would desert his w'f
and child at such a time. If he has
made away with any of the company's
money they will lose nothing as he
was under bond.
