SHE COMPLETELY VANISHED

The woman who left the baby on Mrs. Tillman's boarding house steps Thursday evening, as related in the State Herald yesterday. has not been found by the police, though they have evidence that a woman who registered at the Florence hotel Thursday morning as Mrs. Rogan was the one who left it there. Captain Weir of the police force furnishes the State Herald the following statement with regard to the matter:
 Conductor Patterson of the Georgia Pacific says the lady described in yes terday's State Herald got aboard the train In Atlanta at Il o'clock Wednes- day, coming as far as Austell Ga., on return ticket.
 Austell is the first station this side of Atlanta. At Austell she gave the con ductor another return ticket which brought her to Birmingham, and asked the conductor to let the porter get off and get a picture for her which was on the platform and in the care of a gentle man. And she asked the conductor if his name was Patterson, and being answered in the affirmative she then said friend of hers told her that was MT Pattersons train, and he would assist her with her baggage.
 The conductor says the porter called his attention to the fact that the basket sitting by the lady's side contained baby and that he afterwards noticed her take it up two or three times during the trip MT Patterson describes the woman as being rather small, brunette, very good looking, about 25 years old, dressed in black, wearing black sailor hat ana heavily yelled She also wore smoked eye glasses until she reached the Bir- mingham depot, when he noticed that she had taken them off. He had the porter help her from the train with her baggage and put her on the hack, she stating that she desired to go to the Flor ence hotel.
 When the hackman arrived at the ho- tel according to the hackmans state ment, the woman gave him her name as Mrs. Rogan and told him to take her va 1ise and picture and check them. The hackman, noticing the name of Mrs. Chit wood, Birmingham, Ala, marked on tag attached to the valice, asked if she or Mrs. Chitwood would call for the va lise. She said that she would call; that Mrs. Chtwood was a cousin Of hers ana that accounted for her name on the va lise She also told the hackman to reg ister her name and return to the hack; that she wanted to go somewhere else before going in to the hotel. She directed the hackman to carry her to the Mercy Home, where she tried to leave the baby, but was refused. From the Mercy Home she directed that she be driven to North Birmingham and tried to leave it there at private house, but was refused. She spoke of going to Elyton, where she had heard there was a family that wanted a baby to rear. She did not go to Elyton, however, but was driven back to the Florence hotel and instructed the driver to call for her at 4 o'clock. After break fast she went into the parlor to wait un- til fire could be made in her room. While waiting in the parlor she told MT. Stearns, the clerk that her husband lived in Selma, but afterwards told MT. Stearns her husband was in Atlanta.
 She remained at the Florence all day and was several times seen walking in the hall apparently very restless.
 The hackman called for her at o'clock as instructed, but she notified him that she had decided not to use the hack. About 5:30 o'clock she went down to the office and settled her bill, leaving the ho- tel immediately thereafter. As she walked out at the ladies entrance the bell boy asked her if she desired to take her baggage with her. She replied that she did not
 She carried in one of her hands a small basket, and on leaving the hotel went up Nineteenth street towards Third avenue. She told the bell boy that she would re- turn in ten or fifteen minutes, as she was only going two or three blocks to her sis ters house, and that she and her sister intended going to Atlanta on the first train and they would have to hurry to catch it. The bell boy told her the next tFdlH lOI AlidHld WOuio iCdfe unlll 1215. At this she showed some nervous ness, but replied that she expected to catch a special train that would start soon.
 The boy says he saw the baby in the basket as she left the hotel but when she returned she had neither baby nor bas- ket. When she returned she went to her room. where she remained about ten or fifteen minutes. When she came down with her baggage she had changed her dress and looked altogether different to what she did when she went to her room She had put on a blue. skirt striped silk waist and a black cape. She also wore smoked eyeglasses. She wore an unusually large, plain gold ring On third finger of left hand.
 Taking her valse she left the hotel going down Ninteenth street towards the union depot. Further than that the po- lice have been unable to trace her.
 The police kept a close watch at the union depot Wednesday night and yes terday, but they did not see her get on any train
 The hackman who drove her to the diff ferent places Wedensday morning says she was perfectly familiar with the city and instructed him to drive her to the place she desired to go without asking him any questions as to where those places were
