said that the situation demanded an
emphatic statement on behalf Of the
family
In the first place. said Mr. Keith. we
want people to believe what is the abso-
lutte truth. that George s. Griscom, Jr
has been eliminated from the investiea-
ton. Unless Griscom has more informa-
ton than We have. and that is most un-
likely because OF the inquisitition to
which he was subjected, he ceases to he

whereabouts are concerned. He could
not have been telling the truth IL he said
he expected to see Miss Arnold soon and
that he was to marry her with the &C.
auiescence OF the family. That state.
ment. provided Griscom was correctly
quoted. was not only All untruth but an
! impertnence
The presence OF the Griscom family a,
Atlantic City has no significance 40 far as
the Arnold case is concerned. The Girls
CONS have been in the habit Of going &c
Atlantic City once or twice every year
II was part Of their annual tour-Pit,s-
burg TO Atlantic City 20 Europe and back
againalong the same itinerary. Why the
! younger Griscom is talking so glbly
none OF the Arnolds understands His
father Ia fine man and seems to he doing
all he can TO restrain the sons curious
lopiacity
! Perhaps il is necessary TO say again
tha. not one Of the family and not one ol
the familve lawyers and no other person
with whom we have communicated in
any way knows where Miss Arnold is o.
ha, ever found trace OF her movements
after December -. Is that specific
enough? give you nv word of homo.
that il is the fact We are keeping up the
search because that is the only thing Ia
do. but suggestions are becoming fewer
and fewer. In the early stages Of the in
vestigation We got hundreds of letters
from people who were positive they had
seen Miss Arnold All were mistaken
Nowadays we get few letters. kilograms
or even telepnOne calls.
! An of us interested directly have been
forced TO believe that Miss Arnold is
! dead and probably 10y her own hand.
! You cannot get away from the conclusion
| that ii she was alive either she or some
other person who was in her confidence
would have communicated privately
with the family in order to relieve appra-
hension ." avoid unpleasant publicity
To mo il seems most likely that the young
woman grew tired of life and simply went
away to end H. believe that when spring
comes and people get out into the country
more a discovery will be made Love
was not the only thing that may have
made Miss Arnold respondent She
wanted 10 he a writer and TO make n name
! for ha-self in the magazines She tried
j and failed. Her stories were not printed
II is a fact that she took the failure &c
heart
As 10 the search in Berlin repor,e ed
10y. cable representative Of the family
said that II was part Of the general
search. Pictures Of the missing girl
have been sent to the police everywhere

{. Griscom, Jr.. is still in seclusion to-
night This is the second dav that he
has been in retirement ir his room in the
Hotel Chalfonte, not even leaving il,
for his meals Letters and message
addressed 10 him are delivered To his
father by order Of the latter left at the
hotel desk
Roger O'Mara, the former Pittshurg
police chief, who has been here since
last Tuesday, took practical charge of
the Griscom interests last night and
to-day he was the only one who spoke for
the family. O'Mara said that he had
been called in hv Nh. Griscom Sr., and
! that the father had told him the whole
story of the connection of the vo,Irger
/ Griscom with the Arnold case. The
detective said positively that the Girls
CONS do not know where Dorothy Arnold
I ia: but O'Mara after hearing their story,
believes that she is alive and we'll.
; He doesn't krow anything ahou,
the personal advertisements O'Nara
said when questioned on that score
The detective was asked whether hv
he was meant the son or father. He
replied that he meant the elder Griscom-
that he had never seen the son
! Through O'Mara Mr.. Grscom. Sr.,
has promised an interview tomorrow
with the younger Griscom. whom O'Mara
speaks Of as the boy in spite Of his
/ forty-two years. The interview is 10 h.
tions written out and handed in through
O'Mara to Grscom. Sr,, and eventually 10
each his son.
