Vainly searching for five weeks in an
endeavor to find her year old daugh-
ter, Odette, who vanished from her

yesterday. "and although kind people
have given me great assistance Odette
can not be found. Neither can l find
any trace of my husband. After my son
Walter went to live with his grand
mother Odette became my sole COM
panion, and I have been miserable and
lonely ever since she dropped out of
sight. I had just found a good home
for her, where she could have gone to
school, but Odette disappeared the very
day that / intended to take her away
can not believe that she has wan
dered away. but think she has been kid
naped by her father. Ny husband is
also, and / have no doubt that
both are together some place in this
state"
During the early part of November

household We're aired, when Mrs Sharp
declared that she would file a complaint
charging her husband with KIDNAPPING.
