New York. Jan. 2s.-No trace of
Miss Dorothy Arnold. the young wom-
an who disappeared on December 12,
and which just leaked out yesterday,
has been found. II is not known
whether she was kidnapped or went
away of her own accord.
False clues, will-o'wisp tips and de-
lusive letters are all the comfort the
Arnold family has so far received In
their search for the missing daughter.
The detective bureau heard that
Miss Arnold had been in the habit of
calling at the postoffice general de-
livery window for foreign letters and
that on the day Of her disappearance
she received such letter. The fami-
ly did not believe 1t. Francis R.Arnold.
the father. Is still convinced that his
daughter is dead. has aphasia, or Is
held for ransom by criminals.
John Arnold, brother, arrived
from Europe today. He knew moth
ing more than that his sister was
missing. and inquired eagerly for de-
tails. 1t came out this afternoon that
Mrs. Arnold has broken down under
the strain, and is being kept in sc-
cluson With friends out Of town.
From Philadelphia came hearsay
conversation attributed to taxicab
chauffeur there IN which the phrase
"the old man makes his money In
perfume" occuritd she conversation
indicated that Nixa Arnold had, been
decoyeG into an automobile and kid
naped from New York. but II lacked
confirmation.
Circulars reproducing three Of Miss
Arnpld's latest photographs and give
ing a infinitely detailed description Of
her disappearance. were mailed today
to every chief OF police. town marshal
and detective agency In the United
States and Canada with the offer OF
a reward of $1,000 for information
leading to her recovery.
For time 1t was thought tonight
that Miss Arnold had been found but
the mistake was soon rectified. Mrs.
L. Fl. Arnold of this city, bears a re-
semblance to Miss Dorothy Arnold.
and whose name also chances TO be
Dorothy, was watched and followed at
Atlantic City.
She and her companion, Mrs. Roger
Winton. left for New York this after
noon. and Mr.. Winton said here to-
night that Mrs. Arnold Is his wife's
intimate friend. that her full name is
Dorothy rockingham Arnold and
that she has nothing to do with the
case. She had registered at an At
lantic City hotel under her husbands
initials
Developments today In the search
for Miss Dorothy Arnold. included
the report OF additional letters de-
manding a ransom for the young
woman's return and a reported dec
laration by Deputy Police Commits
sioner Flynn that he believed the girl
had not been harmed and will return
home in few days. Both the police
and the lawyers directing the search
scout the theory that Miss Arnold Is
held for ransom. John s. Keith, OF
Mr. Arnold's legal advisers, asserted
his belief that the letters were writ
ten by blackmailers II they were
taken seriously. he said the search
ers would face the untenable theory
that Miss Arnold was held for ram
som by four different persons.
Mr.. Keith was inclined also to dis
credit the theory of the police that
Miss Arnold would return home short
ly.
The trip OF John Arnold, the miss
Ing girls brother, to Europe which
was made soon after Miss Arnolds
disappearance. had nothing To- do
with the search. Mr.. Keith declared.
