Mrs. Chase spent the afternoon in
Westlake park. 1t was noticed by her
relatives that she was much de-
pressed in spirits and did not seem to
take the usual interest in life.
The party returned home shortly
before s o'clock. Mrs Chase seemed
restless, and after remaining at her
home for nearly an hour remarked
that she would walk to the Seventh
street car to meet her husband. She
put on her light Jacket over walking
gown and, bareheaded, left the house.
The occupants of the house thought
nothing strange in the action until
Mr., Chase returned home alone, They
asked him if he had met his wife and
he said that he had not. Believing
that she had stopped at some neigh
boris the members of the household
went to look for the woman.
