Arnold tonight to have been strength ened by the story which a woman brought to the house to the effect that she was positive she saw Miss Arnold walking towards the entrance of Central park late in the afternoon of December 12, the date she disappeareds
 M. Keith said tonight that the posi- tiveness of the woman had all but con- vinced him that a search of the lake in Central park might be worth while. On the night of Miss Arnolds disappearance the lake froze over and as it had re- mained frozen since then a body, if in the lake, would probably not have been discovered.

The dowager queen occupied Buck
