gle Martin by the local police and as

Police Urged to Search for
Wealthy Woman Missing
From Uniontown, Pa.
SOUGHT FOR NEARLY z YEARS

The police Of the city have received
a letter from detective bureau in
Uniontown, Pennsylvania, asking that
a search be made in Kenosha with a
view Of finding some trace of Mrs.
Bertha May Stone, the wife of w. A.
Stone one of the wealthiest residents
Of Uniontown, who disappeared from
her home there on December 2, 1908.
A reward of $1,000 is offered for the
recovery of the woman.
The Stone case is one of the most ia,
nous known to police departments in
many years and it is now believed that
the trace of the woman is leading to
Kenosha Every since the disappear
ance of Mrs. Stone from Uniontown
the police departments of eastern cities
have kept up search and the husband
has spent thousands of dollars in an eff
fort to find some trace of his wife. 1t
is thought possible that she left Union
town in company with a former soldier
in the Spanish American war by the
name of Emery Martin but no criminal
charges of any nature have been made
against either Mrs. Stone or Martin. 1t
is alleged that at the time of the dis
appearance of the woman she was men
tally unbalanced and she is thought to
have taken Martin as a travelling com
panion.
Mrs. Stone was well supplied with
money and it is claimed that at the
time she had money enough to provide
for her care for many months. Stone
in making the appeal to the Kenosha
officers seems to think that the trail of
the woman leads toward Kenosha. He
does not state on what he bases this
claim but the police have taken up the
case and all of the officers have been
asked to make a special search for the
woman Or for Martin. Mrs. Stone has
never been heard from directly since
the night she disappeared from Union
town but traces of woman who
seemed to answer her description have
been found in several eastern cities and
in Chicago and it is now thought pos
sible that she is hiding in some smaller
city near Chicago or possibly that she
is in some sanitarium. The prominence
of the Stone family in the state of
Pennsylvania and the great amount of
money that has been spent to secure
trace of the woman has caused the
case to attract wide attention.
Mrs. Stone is A years of age and
described as a woman of rare personal
beauty. At the time she left her home
she was dressed in an ordinary house
dress but being well supplied with mon
ely it is thought that she could easily
have found other clothing which has
made it difficult for her to be traced.

OFFICIALS SMILE At LETTER
Donavan Claims That He Heard the
Story of the plot While Living in a
Hotel Here and Names Well Known
People in Connection

John Joe Donavan, a. regular Sher-
lock Holmes, now living at the State
Hospital for the Insane at Mendoza as
a result of an order from Judge Slosson
in the county court has sent letter to
Chief of Police o. Hare which has caus
ed smile among the officials of the
city. Donavan who was committed =
the Mendoza Asylum in November Of
last year claimed to be a detective be-
fore he was sent away from Kenosha
and in his letter he refers to plot
which he discovered which had for its
purpose the wiping out of a lot Of the
officials of the city of Kenosha. Don
AVIAN writes graphic letter in regard
to the plot and claims to have had all
the points in it down fine when his
career as a detective was cut short by
the order committing him to the state
institution. The letter from Donavan
covers more than twelve pages of note
paper and it is evident that it was pre-
pared with a great deal of labor. Don
avian claims that he heard the details
of the plot in one of the Kenosha hotels
and that the time for the carrying out
of the plans to slaughter the innocent
officials is near at hand. He mentions
a number of well known people who he
alleges had part in the plot and de-
clares that these people had been work
ing out the plan for many months when
he discovered the facts in the case by
listening to a conversation which took
place in a room adjoining the one he
occupied at the hotel. He declares that
the plot was one which would make
Black Hand plot look like boys play
and that the plotters had arranged
their plans with such cunning as to
make detection almost impossible. Don
AVIAN declares that some of the people
connected with the plot suspected his
knowledge and that for this reason he
was picked~up and sent to an asylum
for the insane. Donavan declares that
he is the only man possessed of the
facts in the case and that he is will
ing to reveal them if the chief Of po-
lice will make visit to him at Men
dota. incidentally the man asks that
O'Hare seek to locate his brothers and
sisters who are living in Chicago with
view of having them secure his re
lease from the asylum. He insists that
he is now entirely recovered from any
mental troubles that he suffered from
at the time of his commitment
Donavan was violent at the time he
was sent to Mendoza and for days be-
fore he was committed he had caused
no end Of trouble for the jail officials
on account of hallucinations that some
one was attempting to murder him. At
that time he claimed that some woman
was seeking his life and that he con
tinually heard her voice making plans
for the slaughter.
The police will pay no attention to
the letter but all of them had a good
laugh as result of the story of the
alleged plot.
