teenth Precinct, 10 begin work on inc
case, and spare no effort until Miss Mos
by's fate had been learned. Several de-
tectives were sent ont to hunt up clues,
and Capt. McCullagh devoted his entire
time to the case without any success.
1t seemed as if tho missing girl would
never be found, and the police were in
despair. One man was suspected, and
two special officers were detailed to
shadow him night and day. SO con-
stant was the watch kept that tho man
became alarmed, and contemplated
flight from the city lest he should be
arrested. When the advertisement
quoted above was published, Mrs. Camp
received letter from Elbridge r. Ger
ry, President of the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Children, stating
that Florence Mosby was in the hands
Of his society, and demanding to know
by what right reward was offered tor
her recovery. Mrs. Camp then calieC at
the Office of the society and had an in
terview with MIR, Gerry The latter
stated that Miss Mosby, on LEAVING
home, had proceeded directly to the So
ciety's headquarters and asked for pro.
lection. The reasons given by the young
girl for descrting the Camp family were
very strong, but Of such a character as
to render their publication imprudcnt'
The charges, however, were serious, and
Mr.. Gerry decided to accept Miss Mosby
as voluntary charge. She told him
that she was the daughter Of General
Mosby, but had not seen her father for
many years. Mt Gerry asked Mrs
Camp for her authority in asking Tor
Miss Mosby, to whom the Camp family
were not bound by any ties Of relation
ship. The lady then stated that Miss
Mosby was found living III negro's
cabin near Jackson, Miss. The Camps
became intensely interested in the little
maiden and legally adopted her. About
eight years ago, she was brought to
| Somers, n. Y, where she has since lived
with Mrs. Camp and her two sons. She
claimed that the girls blood was part'.i''

A Herald reporter called several days
ago upon Mr.. Gerry and Superintendent
Jenkins. Both gentlemen affected a
mysterious air, and declined to speak
upon the subject, further than to state
that the girl was in the hands OF the
