Away With Him OF Her own NOlitlOn.
Alice Wheelock,l4 years old. disappeared
from her home at IS Hawthorne avenue,
Yonkers. Friday night. A young Persian
who Is called Malcolm Cola disappeared
at about the same time. The Persian
came to this country less than a year ago,
and he and his brother, who is known as
John Cola rented room from the Wheel
ocks. Martin Wheelock. the missing
girls father, Is a weil-to-do tinsmith and
lives on a hill overlooking the Hudson.
He has two daughters, the eldest being
married to Joseph A. Parsons. Malcolm
Cola Is about % years old. He has not
appeared to have any occupation and he
told his landlord that no had to leave his
native land for political reasons He did
not 60 into details concerning the req sons.
His brother works as a baker.
About Washington's birthday Mrs.
Wheelock requested the brothers to get
quarters elsewhere, and they did so. Mr..
Parsons had had an encounter with Malcolm
and the latter still bears scar over his
left eye as result. Mr. Parsons said yester.
day that the trouble was about his young
sister-in- law and he could not restrain
himself Malcolm had wanted to learn to
read and write English and had induced the
girl, Miss Alice, to give him lessons in
writing. 1t was during one Of the lessons
In writing that the son-in-law lost his
temper,
After the brothers left the house no
further thought was given to the matter
by the girls relatives. II Alice saw the
political refugee after that her family do
not know it. She might have met him
without their knowledge She is big
girl, weighing ITS pounds and would easily
pass for IS or 10 years old. She has a fair
ia ce, her eyes are blue and her hair OF a
light color.
She is fond OF music and on Friday eve-
ming her father accompanied her TO the
Reformed Church, where she was to attend
a choir rehearsal, and left her there. 1t was
arranged that she should call for her father
home with him. But she didn't do so, nor
did she return home at all. The father had
a talk with John Cola yesterday, and the
baker said his brother and the girl had
taken the II o'clock train for New York on
Friday night to get married.
II am inclined to suspect the correctness
OF what John told father" said Mr. Par
sons. 4The girl did not ha We cent with her,
and I don't think the Persian had any
money. don't believe they ;y had enough
for any length Of time. There will be no
bless you my children business in case
the two come back and announce a mar
riage. Alice. OF course. is more than well
come. We are anxious to find her and do
not propose even to scold her, for we do
not blame her bit. We think she could
not help it. As for that Persan--well, I
Just want to see him for about five min
utes."
Mr.. Parsons said he was Of the opinion that
the Persian exerted a strong mental in
fuence over the girl. She had never given
her family any indication that she loved
Cola.
"He has kidnapped my daughter for re-
venge," said Mrs. Wheelock. my girl
would not OF her own mind marry this
man. That coal black eye OF his had some
terrible power over my daughter. / am
to get revenge on me and has planned this
thing to make mo suffer-
