her father takes it for granted that the
youthful couple have eloped. Miller has
not been home either since Thursday af-
ternooon. His parents do not know of his
whereabouts
The girl is rather tall for her age, well
developed and quite pretty The family
has resided at No. $50 Bergen avenue sfnca
last March. Besides the father and
daughter there are two sons, Frank and
Edward, both older than Jennie. The girl
has kept house for her father and brothers
Tor several years, as her mother has been
dead for dozen years. The girl is in
ciined to be somewhat frivolous at times,
her father says, and for that reason he all
ways refused to allow her to go out very
often. During the past week, however.
Mr.. Klein was in Brooklyn, and the girl
took advantage of her fathers absence to
stay out late at night. Wednesday night
she did not return home until two o'clock
in the morning, having been out with
Miller. She has not known him very
long.
After giving her brothers their
supper Thursday night and arrang-
ing the dishes. the girl left the house os-
tensibly to visit her sister. Mrs. Harry
Welsh, of Clinton and West Side avenues.
She Wore a white duck skirt, blue shirt
waist and sailor hat
Her absence was noticed yesterday
morning when her brothers got up for
breakfast. The boys did not know what
to make of their sisters absence Their
| father was telegraphed for and he came
home to begin search for his missing
daughter
! He was very angry. All day the search
continued among the relatives and friends
| of the family. AS a last resort, Mr..
Klein notified the police to hunt up the
couple.
| Mr.. Klein visited the home of Young
Miller and told his mother that he would
/ have her son punished to the full extent
of the law when he was caught. Mrs
Miller plead with the angry father, but
he was obdurate and left her in rage.
| Frank Klein. the Oldest son, was sorry
| that his father had notified the police
because of the notoriety that would
| ensue
! Mrs. Miller, when interviewed stated
| that she did not know wfer her son was.
and could scarcely credit the story of his
! elopment with Jennie Klein. He had not
been at home since early Thursday after
noon and she had not heard from him
| since. Mrs. Miller was greatly surprised
to hear of the alleged elopement from the
| father of the missing girl.
Mr.. Klein insists that his daughter mas
gone away with young Miller and de-
clares that both of them will be punished
to the full extent of the law when they
| are caught.
The police have not been able, as. yet
to find any trace of the missing couple.
