about to tie their horses in order
to search the cid barn when young
Leslie exclaimed there she is" and
the party looking towards the barn
plainly saw the woman lying on the
!ground not more than thirty feet
away. Her form was plainly visible
from the road and it is very evident
that she had not been out of the barn
but short time or other searching
parties that PASSED by early in the
morning would have seen her.
The barn near which she was found
is located on the Frank Schrote place
one half mile east of the Delaware
pike, four miles south of the city.
The woman was seen near this barn
early Tuesday morning by Neidhart
and his family who reside on the
Schrote farm. This was the last trace
that had been gained of the lost
woman and hundreds of people had
visited the barn but seeing its mows
Dulging with hay, they passed on.
Dr.. Adair of the sanatorium however
said that he would never be satis-
lied until the hav in the barn was
removed and q thorough search OF
the place made. The hole through
which Miss Black must have entered
the NOW was fully four feet from
the ground AMI the searchers gener-
any believe that she placed a rail
up To the opening and by climbing
lthls managed to reach the NOV
The Neidhart barn from the first
was the speci1l object for ALI rho
searching parties and when the Dav-
ton blood hound was placed on the
scent Friday he was taken to This
place. However the hound passed
