city on Sunday night he met his friend
from Washington who mayahaSe been
in the city, and accompanied lIm- back
to that city. Mr.. Ramsey IS Known to
have had about $50 in money.
The fact that no one wast appr1sed OF
Mr.. Ramsey of a proposed ttp at the

when this strange proceedlnsSls coupled
with the fact that upon former OCCASIONS

When the case was placed in the. hands

The continual absence of Mr.. w. a.
Ramsey. a student at the Unlon 1heo-
logical Seminary, who, as told in yester-
.day,s Times has not been seen since
shortly after I. O clock on Sunday evening,
js the occasion of some concern On tne
mart OF his friends at the Seminary ana
III the City.
Mr.. Ramsey was last seen Oh Sunday
evening on the campus at the seminary:
He said at that time that he was coming
to the city to attend services 1t was
the impression OH the minds OF some OF
those who were in conversation Win
him last that he was gong 10 lile
Academy of Music to hear professor
Foote recite the Sermon on The Mount
others understood that he intended TO
hear DR.. Witherspoon preach.
Tn snv event, he left the Seminary at
that hour No one can say. positively
that he came to Richmond. and the con-
ductor on the car that passed the Semi
nary al that hour has no recollection OF
CARRYING any such passenger answering
the description of Mr.. Ramsey.
Nothing was thought of his absence un-
ill Monday, when it was learned that he
had not returned to his studies, but then
il was thought that he had gone 10 visit
some acquaintance in the neighborhopd,
and would return on Tuesday, as there
were no lectures at the seminary on Mon
day
But when Tuesday came and he still
remained away, with no explanation of
his absence. the situation became serious,
and Mr.. w. w. Moore. dean Of the fac
lllty. deemed it time to start an investiga-
ton At the suggestion of Mr.. Moore, Dir.
Johnson came to the city to make in
quiries. He called upon friends of Mr..
Ramsey, but could learn nothing definite.
No one had seen him since last week.
The chief of police was conferred with,
and a description of the absent student
was placed in the hands of the detective
department.
Mr.. Ramsey came to the Seminary about
the middle of September. Very little
was known OF him. except that he was a
man of splendid standing and consider
able ability. He came from Nashville,
Tenn, where he was employed during the
