PHIL ADELPHIA, March o-While the
detective force of New York were at
their wits ends to solve the mystery of
the disappearance of Mary Agnes Flynn.
a young woman who vanished on Feb
ruary II, and theories without number
have been advanced to account for her
continued absence, Miss Flynn was safe
and sound in Philadelphia at the home
of Mrs. Sarah Kienan, South Mole
street. She was found there yesterday.
Rewards were offered. the police of all
the principal cities We're notified. and
every effort put forth to find the missing
woman. Suicide, murder, accident, un-
due influence by some unknown person,
and dozens of other reasons. were adj
xanced to account for her absence
One reason advanced at first was i'm
rneciateIy denied by every relative and
friend of Miss Flynn.
Denied Love Affair
Love and romance had nothing to do
with it, they declared unanimously.
She was too matter of fact and too ab-
sorbed in her business duties to give
a thought TO men
Even to her chum and intimate COM
panion, Miss Blanche Miller, of Brook
lyn. the idea of a love affair seemed
a abs,,rd. She knew Miss Flynn thorough
", and she would stake her life that
she had never given thought to love.
Yet according 10 Miss F'lynn's own
statement to Mrs kienan. 1t was this
reason which made ner leave her home
and friends. give up her bright business
prospects and leave her mother frantic
with suspense as to her fate OF her
daughter for three weeks.
The name of the man WHO Is RESPONSE
bic for her flight she did not reveal TO
Mrs kienan, and. beyond the tact that
I bo lived I'm New York. nothing could
be learned OF him.
h;though she read the papers and
must have known of the excitement her
disappearance had created, she failed TO
notify her family of her wherea bouts.
