offered $1,000 reward for information
leading to her return, was seen to alight
from a closed vehicle at the Arcade
station yesterday, according to infor-
nation given to the authorities by
Bobbie Rowan, a 16-year-old newsboy
The information, which reached thd
deputies late yesterday afternoon, has
led the officials TO believe that the
woman may have been in hiding in this
city since her disappearance, and wait
ed until yesterday to get out of the
city.
The boys description of the woman
he saw alight from the cab tallies in
every detail to that of the missing Mrs.
Pitman. The boy said his attention
was drawn to the woman by her ex-
treme nervousness and hurried direc-
tions she appeared to be giving to the
cabman. Young Rowan said he never
had seen the cab before. The driver
wore long gren overcoat over what
appeared to be q stylishly cut suit.
HE did not look like a cab driver" the
boy said. mot until I read of the re-
ward in the evening papers did L give
the matter proper. attention"
In the rush of the afternoons busi-
ness the ticket agents at the Arcade
station could not tell whether woman
resembling Mrs. Pitman had purchased
q ticket from them.
Since the announcement of the re-
ward hundreds of persons outside of the
sheriff's office and the police have been
on the lookout for the missing woman.
If she is demented as her husband
claims, grave fears are entertained for
her personal safety, but the deputy
sheriffs are inclined to believe that she
is sane and has simply tired of her
home life and ran away.
