MISSING GRACE sJEvEnses.


Boston, July 11--Mrs. James Steven
son. mother Of Grace. the young gtr
who has been missing from Brooklfn'
more than two months, called at polic'
headquarters. yesterday.
Her purpose In going to police head
quarters was to inform Chief Inspecto
Watts that she had decided to accep
the advice which he gave her sh0r
time after her daughters disappear
ance.
Although the family has offered NJ
stated reward. the parents are Willing

that he was quite sure Miss Stevenson

and said that she had been in that city
but three days, and probably would moi
stay very long. as she had hired a room
for only week.
formation until the matter of reward
was settled, but he invited Mr.. Steven
son to meet him at Nashua, and said he
would conduct him to the young
woman he had in mind, after certain
preliminaries had been settled.
No positive news had been received
by any member of the family, last
night, nor did Chief OF Police Bomar
and Special officer Paige of Brookline
who have commenced work in earnest
learn anything definite.
A possible solution OF the Grace
Stevenson disappearance case may
have been indicated. last night. wher
her brother Albert informed a Boston
Herald reporter that the missing girl
had been in the habit Of carrying large
sums Of money on her person toward
the end OF each month, and. this be-
coming known, may have resulted in
foul play.
She had charge of the household
affairs" said Mr.. Stevenson, "and Z:
was no unusual thing for Grace to take
several hundred dollars to meet out

1T Is clear to me that my sister ex-
pected to return to the house In a very
few minutes after she had left on the
night of April rs. 1t would have been
an easy matter for an INSCRIPTIONS
man to lure her away after she left tho
house. expecting to find a large sum OF
money on her person. She may have
been dealt light blow. which resulted
seriously. as 1t might on a person OF
such slight physique.

dead. and ! have had it all along. My

wicked to make her believe anything

and have had to abandon my business
in order to be near her.
