THE TRUNK DISAPPEARS
When the train from Westbury arrived
at Long Island City. one of the Gaffeny
Express wagons was engaged TO take lile
trunk to Twentythird Street erFE. l4le
driver had six pieces OF baggage. one
trunk for Savannah Line and others foT
American Line. At Twenty-third Street
the Terrell trunk was missing The driver
,old conflicting stores, and the matter
was reported to lhe police. caoiesraIp
describing the missing baggage was also
sent to the British authorities.
Mrs Terrell. however, is of the belief
that the trunk was stolen. Her suspicious
were aroused because of the peculiar ac-
tons of the baggage man, and it is
thought that he had some knowledge as
to the contents Of the trunk. He had
been engaged on previous occasions 20
remove baggage for the Warehouses;
The most important question OF the
situation, however, was up to late hour
Last night unanswered. The trunk had
not been located. but the liberal reward
will probably serve as a stimulus.
