neared from her home, at No. % West

etreet station. has been AT work on the
case steadily with Lois G. Levison, Mrs
Jovison's son, and Solomap Catrovitz,
her brother. on Saturday afternoon
they found tho first clew. A man at
9th street said he had seen Mrs. Levi
eon PASS that day. This information
oreat,v encouraged the Levison family
and from that time on they built their
houes on the theory that there was a
slight mental arrangement because Of
the severe heat. as Mrs. Levison had
had attacks OF the kind in previous
years
The napers were then informed, 30
that as many as possible might be on
the lookout for a woman answering Mrs.
l,evisons description. Late yesterday
afternoon stranger called AT the Levi
sor home and said che had found a
woman resembling the description in the
rapers. and that she had her outside In
Ter machine
Lois Levison ran out 10 the street and
found his mother. The woman Of the
auto only suggested where she had
found Mrs Levison by wave OF her
hand toward the West Side. She ex-
planned that she rad seen a woman
walking aimlessly along the street, and
upon questioning her, found that she
WAS not entirely sane. After exerting .
good deal OF effort she Managed TO gel
her TO recognize her own address Their
she took her straight TO her home.
Mr.. Levison said last night that hi,
wife was much better. although not We,
in a normal condition. The family ar,
| going To take her 10 the country as soor
| as she IL able 10 travel.
