Wayne and Kokomo and thenmoved to Indianapolis. The last time the daughter was at home was early in November, 1923. Wright was with her.A few days after their arrival a woman who said she was Josephine Copeland, and gave a N. New Jersey St. address, appeared and charged that Wright was a bigamist, that he had another wife.Wright did not sec the woman, the letter said, but left hurridely the next day with his wife.A letter written by the daughter from an Indianapolis hotel the following Saturday was the last message, but the letter was destroyed and they do not remember the name of the hotel, the parents told Kinney.Teeth (ajrped With GoldSCHOOL o“HELPSfcCopyright, Compton's Pictured EMan early learned to work copper, for like gold and silver it is found locally in a pure state and can be beaten Into shape even when cold. Alloyed with tin It gives us bronze, and so widespread was the use of bronze in early history that the period is known as the Bronze Age.The Egyptians used copper 5.000''Hieir daughter had one or two Jaw ijeth capped with gold and wore a diamond ring, the parents said in the letter. She was slight in stature, had light, bobbed hair nearly red, and weighed about 100 pounds.The poster from IIray.il police said Wright is wanted there for bigamy. He was described ms being about 40 to 45 years old, five feet ten inches tall, weighing 100 to 185 pounds and a good dresser.He sold Moon and Apperson cars in Indiana, claims to be a veteran of the World War with Canadian army; wears a Shriner’s pin, although his name Is not listed as a member with the Grand Lodge, and claims to be a John Hopkins University medical graduate, although his name is not listed in the school catalog, the Brizil chief said.Size, Age CorrespondnMedical authorities believe thewoman whose skeleton was found was about the same age and build as Mrs. Wright. Two of the teeth of the skelton were gold and there were a number of gold fillings in the mouth.Detectives, however, have advanced the theory that the body was buried about twenty-five or thirty years ago.They pointed out that the storeroom under which the bones were found was occupied in 1923 and that it is unlikely any one could have dug the hole in which the body wasfou id in lime without disturbingthe occupants.Sought in 1923Detectives sought Wright in 1923when they first learned of his wife’sdisappearance. Captain Kinney said,but were unable to find any trace of him. .A man connected with the now defunct Crane Motor Sales Company, 9GO N. Meridian St.. in 1923, recalled that there was an Albert Wright connected with that firm then for six weeks or two months In the wholesale department.One day Wright introduced a woman to the employes as his new bride and explanied that they hadjust been married at Terre Haute, Ind., he said. Several days later it was rumored that Wright hadanother wife. He suddenly disap*years before Christ, and in museums arc m iny weapons and other objects of bronze and copper even older.Combined with other metals, copper makes brass, and other alloys. Two parts of zinc added to eleven parts of copper makes “Dutch metal.” an alloy so malleable that it is beaten out like gold leaf and used as a cheaper substitute for the latter. 1 Alone, copper is used for electrical purposes, boilers, cooking venae Is, etc. In thin plates it is used for engraving and etching, and id strong rollers for calico-printing. Every coin from the bronze cent to the gold piece has some copper In it. Various chemical compounds of copper are extensively used as sprays to kill fungi and Insects, for all copper compounds, such as blue vitriol are poisonous. •The Romans obtained their copper largely from Cyprus, an island in the Mediterranean, so they called it cyprurn, from which our word copper” is derived. Copper ores are widely distributed, being found in Europe, Japan. Africa, Australia and North and South America. More than half the world’s supply comes from the United States.Imagine a room 14V»x24% feet, walled with brick and cement and extending down nearly a mile below* the surface of the ground, that is the Red Jacket shaft of the Calumet and Hecla mine in northern Michigan. It is divided, up anddown, into six compartments. At one end are two elevators with double-deck cages for men and materials, and at the other end are two more cages, each provided wdth a nine-ton self dumping “skip, or bucket, hanging below It. The.*e “skips” are used to bring the ore up from tunnels below.In the two compartments In the center are large cylindrical steel bailers through which water In the mine is brought to the surface.These elevators travel much fasterthan elevators in skyscrapers. At various levels they pass horizontal tunnels, whicn run in various directions, and m which men are at work digging out the rock or ore which contains the metallic copper.E;w!trorofMlusayofindrayfrlt;thw,ofIKbeWPJ(toseeaPlt;dioiSJ:cia Ia iaiP«fraiwClccccsiisO!rrwflAsiPlt;C(t€Lplt; arcd, not even resigning his position.Failed to AppearThe woman he introduced as his second wife failed to appear at the agency and inquire about him, and it was taken for granted she disappeared with Wright to escape thefirst wife.Chief Fulk, Brazil, said he would supply police with an exact description of the ring worn by Mrs. Wright.A diamond ring was found In the street near the storeroom where the skeleton was discovered. The ringwas 10 or 15 feet from the place where dirt from the excavation was dumped, and is not believed to have been in the hole with the bones.drccLiirreatdccnlt;FALPcloiJ1frPife
