Truck Presents Mystery
Owner Dead Before Baggage is Left at Hotel by Man Using His Name
The Morning Oregonian, April 14, 1915
The mystery of a trunk that was left at the Royal Palm Hotel, Third and Flanders Streets, Feb. 2, by J. C. Wilson, of Chesapeake, Lawrence County, Ohio, who, according to his mother, died several months previous to that time, is puzzling City Detective H. H. Hawley.
Two affidavits that Wilson had died in Lawrence County, Ohio, on Nov. 18, 1914, were received by Detective Hawley from E. M. Gaudjot, manager of a detective agency at Huntington, WV. Manager Hirsch of the local hotel says that the trunk has been identified as Mr. Wilson’s.
Still, the hotel register shows that Wilson arrived on Dec. 16, 1914, and paid two weeks in advance. Detective Hawley wrote to Mr. Gaujot for an explanation.
