Tragic Shootings and Disturbing Deaths Plague Detroit
On election night at Joseph McCune’s Indian Avenue home a half witty brother in law shot him after warned visitors not to wake the sleeping child. The assailant fled and was pursued by relatives and neighbors before being captured. Police and doctors attended McCune while the household looked to Rigor Aldrich’s cottage for safety. A separate case details a Jackson girl’s morphine death after leaving the Hibbard house, with investigators focusing on Jud Crouch and a possible romance motive as a factor in the tragedy. A tale of crime, tragedy, and mystery across Detroit and nearby towns unfolds as officials probe.
