NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-The detectives
yesterday were foiled in every direction
while searching for Mr.. G.. N. Peay, of Lou
isYiiie, missing since the 14th. The World
says TIE opinion that he has gone from New
York, aud has formed an immoral acquaint-
ance, continues to gain ground.
LATER.-No clew TO the whereabouts Of
Peay, tha Louisville merchant, who disap-
peared g Teek ago las Thursday morning,
has yet been obtained. One detective be-
lieVes either that Peay while intoxicated
walked down Canal street, mistaking it for
BFoadSay, into the river, or that he has de-
liber@tely absconded.' In support of the
latter theory he points to the facts that Peay
received draft for 81, 700, which ne cashe d
in Brooklyn on the afternoon before his dis
appearance; that this draft was for
the payment of certain creditors Of the
friend whose business affairs he was settling
up; that he spent large part of Tuesday
and "Wednesday in endeayors to get the
draft cashed, but took with him Martin of
the B:andreth House, to identify him and
cid not succeed, whereas Vaniningen, to
whom a part IF the money was due, could
have satisfactorily identified him at once;
and that on the last afternoon he was seen,
Peay visited several South American YES
sells and made inquiries in regard to th e
South American fruit trade. The chief OBJ
jections to this theory are the respectability
of Peay's position and reputation, and the
imprObability that even if capable of the
dishonesty, he would take such step for
an amount Of money 80 comparatively
small.
