BOSTON, MASS, Aug. 10.-Grace Stew
enson, the millionaire heiress whose mys-
FERROUS disappearance created such sem
sation three months ago. is hiding or is
concealed in South Salem. The fact that
the missing girl is in South Salem is es-
tablished so far as one mans word goes.
Why she is there and what purpose she
served by remaining in that place is still
question.
South Salem is very near Clifton, where
the Stevensons have summer home. A
reporter went there to-day to find Mr..
Stevenson, who has also been missing
from Boston for over week. He did not
find him. There was a general ignorance
of Mr.. Stevenson's whereabouts in Clifton.
Mr.. Stevenson's ID ovements are mysteri-
GUS, and his goings and comings are a
matter of speculation entirely.
The cottage appeared deserted, but in
the rear there were signs of life. Through
the windows were seen two young ladies
and as soon as they saw the reporter they
showed signs of wonderment They de-
MED any knowledge of the whereabouts OF
either of the Stevensons.
From Clifton the CALL man went over
it in his power to give very important in
formation in regard to Miss Stevenson.
He has friend who lives in South Salem
who knows Miss Grace very we'll, indeed.
Not m ore than two weeks ago, this young
man declares, he saw her in house in
South Salem. The names of these young
men cannot be published as they are I'M
willing to be "mixed up in the scrape," as
they affirm, but the statements which
they make can be absolutely relied on.
The young man who saw Miss Steven
son knows her too we'll to be mistaken in
regard to seeing her. This much he re.
luctantly admitted: That he had seen
Miss Stevenson, and that he could not be
mistaken in regard to her identity. He
could not disclose the exact location of
the place where he saw her, or any other
facts than those stated here. This, how
ever, is the most important development
vet reached in this famous case, and it
seems to be only question of time when
all "mysrery" will have disappeared.
In the Supreme Judicial Court in Equity
before Judge Lathrop this morning P. ].
Casey, representing James Stevenson, the
father OF the missing Grace Stevenson,
presented petition asking the court to
stay further execution of the warrant
issued by Judge Grant in the insolvency
court
Judge Lathrop intimated that he would
issue an injunction restraining the cred
itors from holding meeting pending the
settlement of this case out of court. Mean
while the police are searching for both
father and daughter, and now that The
CALL has shown them the way they
ought to find them and clear up the
famous mystery.
