Gordon Charlesworth exciting the kngilsn
public Miss Charlesworth an attractive young
woman Of twenty-five. who lived with her parents
IN Bodera st. Asaph Wales. was reported as
killed while automobiling in the neighborhood OF
Penlnaenmawr with her sister and chauffeur,
on Saturday. The sister and the chauffeur say
that the automobile was in collision with the re-
tanning wall of road along the edge Of cliff
overlooking the sea. and that Miss Charlesworth
was thrown over the wall into the sea.
The sister and the chauffeur related this story
10 the local authorities but since then the mem
bers of the family have declined TO see inqulrers
or to give further details. Those who nave
examined the spot where the fatal accident was
said 10 have occurred do not consider it pos
sible that a body falling into the sea could
have been washed away. woman's hat was
found on the rocks. but there was no indication
that body had fallen over the cliff.
Miss Charlesworth's picturesque career sug-
gests that of Nine. Hunbert She said that
she was the heiress Of General Gordon, her

cording to THE Evening News owes one

ouslv furnished the walls being draped with the
Gordon plaid She had four motor cars The
story Of her death is generally dsbelieved. al
though her parents have offered 500 for the
recovery of the body. The disappearance and
the famiIy's secrecy are causing much specua-
tion.
The famous General Gordon. who vas killed
at Khartoum. left an estate valued at less than
$4,000 10 his sister. most Of his fortune having
been devoted in his lifetime to the founding and
rnaintenarce Of school for boys at Greenwich
