ristown con fectioner. Enos Bosch, was
taken home late on Sunday night in
charge OF DIR. Edward r. Guth, Of 1901
South Ninth street, in this city. Her
father had spent the whole day Sunday
In Camden In q fruitless search for his
daughter. The only clues to her where.
abouts had been two letters postmarked
Camden, stating that she was too sick
TO get home and failing to give any ad
dress.
As the letters we're mailed day later
than when they were written, and as
:hey were signed "Medical Director, +"
the probabilities are that Laura Bosch
was not In Camden at al, but that she
was In this city under treatment.
There are various theories as TO her
sudden illness and her motives Of keep
ing her whereabouts Q secret, but every,
body connected with the case refuses to
talk.

of ase. and wears black beard, mixed
with gray. He looked sharply through
the thick lenses Of his gold-rimmed
glasses and declined to say anything

and has been under my charge.

through her fathers efforts to hud tht
missing daughter the Doctor said:
"Well, she's girl 25 years of age
and / suppose onght to know enough &c

Yes, suppose she was glad enough u
