a Statement and So Does
Recorder Stanton.

The warrant for the arrest of Laura
Biggar, the actress who, with Lawyer
and Physician Charles G. Hendrick, Of
Bayonne, and ex-Justice of the Peace
Samuel Stanton, Of Hoboken, is charged
with conspiracy to obtain the fortune OF
the late Henry NJ. Bennett, the Pitts
burg millionaire, was taken to Hoboken
this morning by detective from Mon
mouth County and endorsed by Justice
of the Peace George f. Seymour, pre-
paratory to being served on Laura should
she be located in this County. The war
rant was then turned over to Sheriff
Ruempler for service.
SANIT.ARIUM DESERTED.
Efforts to apprehend the actress in Ba-
yonne yesterday were unsuccessful. The
sanitarium conducted by her physician
and attorney. Dr. Charles c. Hendrick,
on Avenue A, where she claimed to have
given birth to her child, is apparently de-
serted.
Since yesterday morning the place has
presented no signs of life. Attempts to
gain admission to the house adjoining the
Knickerbocker Athletic Club have proved
in vain. 1t was said that a light was
noticed in the house last night. and an
inner door was seen to open at times.
Officers from the Sheriff's office have
tried to arrest the actress, but their eff
forts were unsuccessful.
The Bayonne police authorities have
not been notified or requested to assist
in the arrest. 1t is believed that Miss
Biggar departed from Bayonne yester
day. The Bayonne authorities say they
could have made the arrest yesterday,
if the Monmouth authorities had notified
them to do so.
Dr. John T. Connolly, of Bayonne,
who signed birth certificate in the case,
refuses to make any statement.

Just below an 'eye" on the branch he

She bobbed Mp quite serenely, and
She calmly hoated round.

that when an American has made Il

cording to the Telegraph, why the
