YELLED IN MYSTERY
Is Hattie Linn the Lost Miss
ChiIders? Friends in
the Dark.
Especial to the News and Observer.)

Especial to the News and Observer
Lenoir, n. c., May 3.-Nothing definite
has developed as yet in tie Childers
case. A lady who formerly lived at
Lenoir recognized some one much like
the lost girl at the Morganton depot.
This girl said her name was Hattie Linn
and nervOusly evaded all questions.
The lady, however, is positive that the
person seen was Miss Childers.
The ticket agent at Morganton says a
party answering the description of Miss
ChilderS bought a ticket and boarded
a west bound train Thursday night but
does not know what point the ticket was
sold to. Miss ChilderS' friends are all
trying to follow this clue, but many still
believe there has been foul play.
The affair is far from being solved and
there seems no prospect for an early
solution. There seems no doubt that
Miss Childers was mentally deranged
and many believe in the suicide theory.
as she had spoken of this mode Of end
ing her trouble. Many rumors are being
circulated but nothing definite has trans
pired as vet.
