o'clock Vandalia train. She was 10 her
fathers care and accompanied by her
cousin, Dr. Robert Van Valzah, of Terre
Haute, and A. j. Kelly, also of Terre
Haute. She remained at the asylum all
day. DR.. Van, Valzah and Mr.. Kelly
arrived here on the Vandalia train at 4:55,
and were Immediately driven TO the asy-
lum. which they reached about $3.50. An
interview with the girl was at once ac-
corded them. About Z O'Clock Mrs Tai
bot and Mary left the female building by
q rear door and walked over TO the male
building. AT the same time DR.. Van
Valzah and his companion left the female
department by the hall door and drove
over TO the other branch Of the institution,
where the carriage stopped and the matron
and her jewel were given seats in it. This
strategic move was executed 10 avoid a
swarm Of local reporters, who were locat-
ed in the main hallway and parlors ofthe
female building eager to catch a glimpse
of girl they had heard about but had
not seen. The carriage was driven TO the
Grand Hotel Colonel Churchill, who
came in on the Indianapolis and st. Louis
train, due at the depot at Gas, was let OF
