GHOST-HAUNTED, SUICIDE WRITES GIRL FAREWELL
Facing Trial as Death Car-Driver, Springfield Me- chanic Found Dead of Pois- dir'in Auto: Friend Vanish- od After Odd Tragedy.
Haunted by the ghost of a man he was charged with having killed with his autontoblle. Virgil Rice. 30, drove his car ten nilles from town on a country road, locked himself In, wrote a "farewell" letter to Freda Mollenskey, a girl friends, two of his wife and another to his parents, drained a bottle of polson. and toppled over the alternig wheel, dead. ·
Miss Molleniskey hnd been his companion on the tragic night of last November 2 when they were found together In his car. toppled Into a ditch, a dred inon on the Inghany behind them and blood upon their radiator.
No Trace of Girl Found
The girl vanished and officers have sought her high and low in with Rice was called to trial in January but the case was continued because Miss Mollenskey could not ¡ be found. Not until officers picked up the letter beddr Rice's body yes- terduy did thehy know her address, when they needed her no longer.
Dr. Murray C. Flone, coroner. who reviewed the evidence. today sandt thai no miquesi would be held. School children, walking along East Division Street road late yes- terday afternoon on their way home from school, found Rice In Įsi var. dcad. Life had passed several hours beforc. C. A. Galloway, who resides near the spot where Rice kept his rendezvous with death, passed his var about 9 o'clock yesterday morn- Ing. he told the coroner. Rice had drewu his car to the side of the road and apparently was reading or ATILIng. Two hours later Galloway passed the car again and Rice seemed to have fallen asleep. Off- cers believe he was dead at the time.
Victim Never Identified
It was about 5 o'clock in the aft- ernoon that Roy Deatt, 14-year-old son of George Dean, and his little brother, saw the man and tried to awaken him. Deputy Sheriffs Will
Webb and R. E. Hodge and Doctor Stone were summoned after the boys had given the alarni.
Rice was dead. Oo the seat beside him ley a two-ounce bottle, emply. It hed contained a deadly polson. The letters also lay near him on the
Miss Freds Mollenakey had been with him In his car open the night of last November 3 when a man, not Identified to this date, was killed on North Boulevard dilve. Rice and the girl were found about half an hour later Atting in their cer which had plunged into a ditch not for from the spot where the man was struck. Both were dased.
"Friendly Forowell'
fire told a rather incoherent Nors of being atruck by another car which boro down upon him on the wrong side of the road. Physical evidence made his story mem Improbable. Then human blood was found upon the front of his car.
A coroner's jury charged him with the men's desth and on April 2 be was to have gone to triel. The case againat him will now formally be dismissed, County Attorney George H. Skidmore sald today. No charge hed been made against the girl. Freda Mollenskey.
She. however, had disappeared soon after the tragio accident. Officers bad sought for her in vem and not until they found the latter addressed to her in St. Louis did they know where she le living. The letter. Coro- ner Stone decisred, made no referenca " the charge sgeinst the man. It was. he said. "Just a friendly letter of farewell . " He. however, refused to divulge ita contenta.
Letters From 'Somewhere'
Three other letters were found lo the car. One was addressed to Rice's :ulle at the home of his parents and another to har at the home of her mother. 623 North Kansas avenue. The third latter was addressed to Mr. and Mrs. Lamon Rice, 1126 North Broadway.
The peculiar manner in which the lettera were headed was pointed out
- in recent weeks .. Although he to be- llered not to have written the letters untu Wednesday morning just be- for his death, he beaded them' "Somewhere, Tuesday."
Rice was hesd of the used car de- pertment of the Oliver Motor Car company, where he had been employ- ed for mwen yeare. Officials of the company said today that he had been despondent recently. apparently over the trial He had not worked unce Setiirdey of last week.
