Has Been Missing and, Just When Suspicions Were Aroused, Turns Up.

Rochester, April 21.—Friends in this city of E. F. Davis, the man who electrocuted Czolgosz, are wondering where he is. Shortly after he performed the execution of Czolgosz in Auburn prison, he disappeared and has not since been heard from.
He had received many threatening letters from anarchists and it is feared that he may have met with foul play.
