dor. who returned to this country two
months after Miss Arnold's disappear

her. Mrs. Arnold said that she had not
given her consent to the marriage OF her
daughter and Griscom. This follows the
impression created BY Griscom that

Arnold as soon as she was found.
Added to these two statements by the
mother was one by John w. Arnold. her
con, that the family would not continue

not see any reason for it.
Mrs Arnold came home on the Cunard
liner Pannonia, which sailed from Naples

Her son "Jack" went down the bay on
the boarding cutter and met her at Quar-
an.ine. and he. too was debonair and
iaunty. He came on the dock at the
Barge Office seemingly bit excited by

range for he- to receive the reporters.
When the ship was reached it was dis
covered that Arnold would have to fur

Three wireless messages were sent to
her on Saturday, and after their receipt
she tcld the officers OF the Pannoria that
she did not want to see any one after

her family.
