Is Mary Ayers aliveP The belief which
many people have always entertained that
Mary Ayers did not commit suicide when
she disappeared on the night of Jan. 10,
last, has been strengthened by the state
ments made recently by young woman of
BrattleborO who was in Montreal late In
the summer. This young woman, who was
well acquainted with Miss Ayers, attended
a service in the gray nunnery at Montreal
In company with friends from New York.
On turning partially around during the
service she was startled by seeing a nun
whom she thought to be Miss Ayers.
When she looked again q moment later to
be sure that she was not mistaken, the
nun had disappeared. The young woman
hoped to gain further information when
she went through the institution, but
found that visitors were not allowed to en-
ter the women's ward at that time as re-
pairs were being made.
