From the St Louis Chronicle.
Mrs. Susan Walden, Of Mexico,
NO., missing for some weeks, has
been found in this city, but another
Mrs. Susan Walden, or the astral
body of Mrs. Susan Walden
No. 1, has been found in Scottdale,
Pennsylvania.
Mrs. Walden, aged 66, according
to the stories circulated by her
relatives and friends, left Mexico,
Mo-, May 10, to go to Cincinnati
to take possession of some s25, 600
to $4,000 left her by an aunt.
She was to stop over in this city to
get funds from a daughter, Mrs.
Charles Bozell, of 983 Leonard
avenue, to continue her journey.
Her friends claimed to have
heard nothing from her for nearly
three weeks, excepting a rumor that
she had been enticed into a cab
and driven to a lonely suburb and
made to pay a heavy cab bill and
abandoned.
Mrs. Bezell said the police had
been notified, but Chief Harrigan
said he knew nothing of the affair.
A son, who "put her on the
train" at Mexico, came on, look
ing for her, and started for Cincin-
natl in search Of her, and also turn
ed up missing.
Mrs. Bozell, the daughter, did
not appear at all concerned at the
dual disappearance In her family,
but asserted her beliefthat "moth-
er would turn up all right"
The case assumed a peculiar as
pect, and various theories were
advanced. The police and detec-
tives kept their eyes open, each
expecting to unearth a sensation
which would get his name in the
papers. The mutilated body s'hid-
den in a trunk" or covered with
rubbish in some ravine, with the
dress pocket cut out, did not ma
terialize.
Instead, a Especial dispatch to
the Globe-D Democrat" headed Scott
dale, Pa, announced that Mrs.
Walden had been found at that
place. She was registered at the
Grier house. She had reached
that place by way of Canada, the
dispatch stated, and was out of
funds. Inspector McAteer, of
Pittsburg, had been notified, the
communication also read.
A Chronicle reporter called at
the Bozell residence. The door
was opened by Mrs. Bozell, who
was smiling and said: "Mother
has come back. She arrived yes
terday."
The reporter was shown into the
parlor, where a well preserved old
lady, also smiling, was introduced
to him by Mrs. Bosell as her
mother. "Why, I have been back
a week." said Mrs. Walden, with
an antiquated girlish giggle.
"Was it true about you being
abducted in a cab." asked the re-
porter.
The old lady laughed outright at
this. "Why, no; of course not,''
said she, with a look girls wear
when blushing. CT went right
straight on to Cincinnati" con-
tinued she; 81 told them not to ex-
pect to hear from me for two
weeks"
"Did you get your fortune?"
"No. There is nc fortune to get
yet. My aunt is not dead. She
sent me word last fall to come and
live with her and she would make
me her heiIess. was her favorite
niece. When I got to Cincinnati
found 1 had left her address al
home or lost it. So I did not find
her at all. I stopped at a cousin g.
I forget the street she lives on"
Mrs. Walden would laugh every
time the notoriety she had gained
was mentioned.
