Norfolk Theory Exploded.


SUFFOLK, VA, Dec. 9.-According to
reliable information received from an
other town tonight, the theory advanced
by Police Chief Velines, of Norfolk, Va.
vanished into nothingness. The Miss S.
Baker, whom Edward F. Kelley, on
whose information Chief Vellines bases
his theory, dined with. is not Ella, Maude
Cropsey, otherwise Nell, but an expert
milliner. who until recently was engaged
at q millinery store in Franklin, Va.
The only thins lacking to make the
contradiction complete is the date. KEEL
ley told Chief Vellines that he saw the
girl November ed, whereas the milliner
was with a man named Kelley some days
earlier. BY the testimony OF a CONNER
cial salesman, most Of whose story is
verified at Franklin. Miss Sara Baker,
who signed g note to young IS. Baker,
the name first given by Kelley left
Franklin some time previous to the Crop
sey disappearance for Baltimore.
a travelling man. who knew the girl
previously, and who met her. on the boat,
says she told him she met Kelley In
Norfolk. took meal at Bynn's Cafe.
saw him at a Norfolk clearinghouse,
and that Kelley accompanied her to the
steamer. The travelling. man. who was
Miss Bakers friend, walked With her to
her uncle's home. on a prominent street
in Baltimore She had stated that she
would visit before returning to Franklin
her old home, at a small hamlet IN
Pennsylvania.
The only discrepancy in the description
of the Franklin miliner and that of Nell
lie Cropsey's supposed doulie was in
weight Nell, by police description,
weighs 10 pounds. and the milliner
weighs nearly 100. The complexion. eyes,
hair, destination, name, height, and
doings in Norfolk are identical.
At Elizabeth City to-day it was re-
ported that a girls body had been found
on North River, Currituck county. An
investigation proved the rumor untrue.
Most of the Citizens Committee still be-
licye Nell was murdered or abducted.
