OaHOHf AACE LIuSbanu.
CINCINNATI, Sept. 12.-All doubt re-
garding the identity of Vera Ava was
settled tonight by the arrival of Mr..
Soloman from Louisville, who identified
the woman as his,wife. Ann. O'Delia DISC
DE Barr. The police do not know what
to do with her. She is no doubt crazy,
but she cannot be sent to Longview, as
she Is not resident of the county. She
will be held until Monday for action.
Another account says Miss Vera Ava
still remains in the house of detention.
She shares the office with the matrOn
and spends most of her time on a lounge,
which serves as a sofa by day and bed
by night. Testimony as TO her
identity with the notorious Dis de
1t is stated that persons who
have seen the real Diss De Bar say that
Vera Ava is the genuine Diss De Bar.
But this is mere gossip. inasmuch as
the Identity OF the persons making the
statement has not been given. Other
gossip in the same category is that two
men that knew the real Diss De Bar
have seen the woman, and that she
IS not that parsonage. Again lt
1t IS stated that some persons who saw
the woman to-day say that they saw her
riding OH a cable car in this city. II
was stated at the house of detention at
late hour tonight that she has not re-
celved any letter or telegram from
friends or acquaintances, as was natur-
ally to be expected il she we're a we'll
known person of large means.
Chief of Police Deitsch, of this city.
received tonight dispatch from Chief
OF Police McLaughrey, of Chicago, give
ing the information that he had COM
ferred with the Rev. DIR. Bolton, OF
Chicago, and had been commissioned by
him to say that he would not send any
financial aid to Vera Ava, who is now
in the house of detention in this city.
A rumor having been circulated thai
Mr.. SOloman had arrived in Cincinnati
and Identified the woman held here al
the house of detention as his wife,
Madam Diss De Bar, telephone mes
sage was send to the house of detention
regarding the rumor. In answer the
matron said that nobody had yet identi-
fed the woman and that she had heard
nothing of Mr.. Soloman. It was re-
ported that Soloman was at the races,
a thorough search of the hotels has
failed to reveal him up to l o'clock to-
night.
CHICAGO, Sept. 5.-Archbishop Fee
han, in an interview to-day In regard
to Miss Ava, said: II paid little at
tention to her talk about erecting insti-
buttons and those extensive schemes, be-
cause / know what it is to raise up one
institution, and Thought her ideas were
too broad. Her intentions seemed good
and | received her just as l receive
any one who comes during certain
hours of the day. That is all
know about the woman. AS for het
charge against Fathers Kelly and Fitz-
gerald it Is too ridiculous to command a
second thought. On the face of it no
one would believe it, and it is so abb
surd that | cannot even discuss IL. I
have never seen Nine. Diss De Bar, but
| have heard of her. She created a SEN
satiOn in Rome some years ago. That
had to do with church, too, but l have
never seen the woman and could not
say whether Miss Ava resembles her or
not"
