Demarest Flips -Stabs Wife

[Mr. Bond]

Calvin Demarest, the championship billiard player, went off the deep end and attacked his wife with a knife.

This report didnt make the injuries seem all that bad...

This one sounds a little worse...

 

[Mr. Bond]

one year later - something almost as strange happens....

CALVIN IS REPORTED DEAD

Chicago Tribune Feb 23 1916


BUT CALVIN IS NOT DEAD

 

[Mr. Bond]

Calvin actually died June 12, 1925. Almost 10 years later.
