GR|SCOM PLANS
DASH TO MEET
DOROTHY ARNOLD
May Go This Afternoon to Rad
nor, Where She Is
Said to Be.

ATLANTIC CITY, Feb. 14.--While
the plans of George S. Griscom. jr., II
is declared that he is preparing to
make dash from here, probably this
afternoon, to join Dorothy Arnold. The
meeting place is said to be Radnor, Pa,
Elaborate preparations are being
made to throw pursuers off the scent
by spreading reports throughout the
Hotel Chalfonte. where there are sew
eral detectives. presumably here at the
instance of Francis r. Arnold, that
Griscom, jr., is to remain here today.
1t became known, how ever. that the
suitor of the young woman had been in
telephone communication with Radnor.
When Roger O'Mara, former chief of
police of Pittsburg, who has been
placed in complete charge of Griscom 8
affairs, was asked who Griscom was
talking with at Radnor he showed
signs of displeasure and gave evasive
replies. Whoever Griscom talked with
received assurance that all was vel!
with him, and his conversation was Of
a nature to cheer a despairing heart.
Home of Girls Classmates.
near Bryn Mawr, and several of Doro-
thy Arnold's classmates reside there.
When Griscom. jr., said Saturday that
he would marry the girl he added:
II can't place my finger on her at
this moment, but when the proper time
comes l feel sure she will be produced" :"
Since then the Griscom family have
endeavored to give the impression that
A.. rxl,-I a.
OMara said:
IF he knows where she is, then he
hasn't told his father ALL"
The detective added this statement:
while | feel certain the Griscoms
know nothing of the girls whereabouts
from all I have learned about the ac-
tions of the Arnold family I am in
cllned to think they know where she
is, and are keeping it to themselves
All this talk about the girl being dead
is absurd. She is alive, and will ap-
pear when she wants to-"
After a conference with John w.
Arnold last evening John s. Keith, of
Garvan & Armstrong. who has been in
charge of the search for Dorothy
Arnold said that the situation demand
ed an emphatic statement on behalf of
the family.
I'm the first place." said Mr.. Keith,
''we want people to believe what is the
absolute truth. that George S. Girls
com, jr., has been eliminated from the
investigation. Unless Griscom has
more information than we have. and
that is most unlikely because of the
inquistion to which he was subjected,
he ceases to be of interest in so far as
Miss Arnolds whereabouts are con-
cerned. lie could not have been telling
the truth when he said he expected to
see Miss Arnold soon and that he was
to marry her with the acquiescence of
the family. That statement, provided
Griscom was correctly quoted. was not
only an untruth, but an impertinence.
THE presence of the Griscom family
at Atlantic City has no significance
so far as the Arnold case is concerned.
The Griscoms have been in the habit
of going to Atlantic City once or
twice every year. 1t was a part of
their annual tour-Pittsburg to Allan
tic City, to Europe and back again
along the same itinerary. Why the
younger Griscom Is talking so glibly
none of the Arnolds understand. His
ia ther is a fine man and seems to be
doing all he can to restrain the sons
curious loquacity.
