PniLaDglPuIA, May 30. -Four weeks
ago comely young girl employed as n
child's nurse III the house oi MIR. Chas.
McManus, No. 5lS North Thirty-eighth
street, myslerious.y disappeared. On
Thursday night she died in delirum in
the Charity Hospital, Jersey City. BE.
tween the time of her departure and
that Of her death nothing was learned OF
her whereabouts, although diligent in
auiry was made, and the only conclu'
SION to be drawn is that her late has been
that OF countless other unsuspecting crea.
lures who have fallen victims to mans
periidy. The character and conduct of
the girl previous to her disappearance
serve To deepen the mystery and add to
the cnormity Of the crime. About u year
ago Mrs. Susannah Tley, widow, came
10 this city from Allentown and obtained
employment in the house Of Mr.. Me-
Manus, n lawyer, having an office at No
209 South Sixth street. Her husband
had died suddenly and leirier burdened
with the support oi three
children. boy and u girl oi young age
and daughter in her teens After living
in Mr.. McManus' family about six
months tho mother was joined by her
eldest daughter, Mary,whose appearance
50 pleased Mrs. McManus that she
employed her 10 care for her children.
Mary proved careful and kind nurse,
aud soon gained the confidence aud
friendship oi her mistress. Msrys con.
duet was exemplary, she was willing
and ,lcXtruus in household duties, aud
often Expressed herself AZ being well
pleased with her home, where she was
treated with. every kindness. On Thurs
day, April -. Mrs. Tlley requested her
dsagatsT to .a!sss, 4 .Parssl, artha haaiss
Richmond streets. The girl left the
house at | o'clock, telling her mother
before leaving not TO attend to
certain work In the house, IN
she would do il upon her re-
turn, About $50 o'clock she deliv-
cred tho package AT Mr.. Leach's, and
from that time was not seen by any oil
her friends until her body lay IN the
Jersey City Morgue. When she leit
home she had about s. with her. and
her expressed intention Of doing some
shopping Is what is thought delayed her
ON her way mp town, as the time was
much longer than required iOr her to
reach Marlborough street. She was ex'
pected Ia reach home by u o'clock IN
the evening or earlier. Her absence at
that hour caused her mother uneasi.
ness, M the girl was unaccus.
toned to remain away late. As
the night passed and she did
not appear, uneasiness gave way TO
alarm, and the mother passed the night
i'm great concern. In the morning in.
uuiry was made at Mr. Roach's and
nothing being there learned further
than that the girl had performed the er.
raud upon which she left home, all her
friends in the city were visited, but with
no success Friends aud relations IN
Allentown were then written to IN the
hope that tidings of the missing GIL
would be received, il being thought that
p.rhaps she had acted under u sudden
impulse and gone to her former home.
Nothing, however, was learned In
this way, and then Mr. McManus
informed the police authorities of the
girls disappearance. The police sent
notices 10 different cities and towns, and
word was received from several places
that "A girl answering the description
had been seen, but when followed the
clues amounted to nothing. and her
friends became convinced that she had
fallen into the hands OF persons who
would take every precautiOn To the end
that her whereabouts should not be dis
covered. From their knowledge OF the
pirl's spirit they knew that II disgrace

home. On May 18th and on several
succeeding DAYS the following personal
