NEW YORK. February 13.-The end of
the mysterious story of Dorothy Arnold
by no means has been reached. The ro-
mantle turn given it Saturday by George
s. Griscom. jr., in the expression of his
confidence that the young woman is alive,
and in his quoted intention of marrying
her il possible. was given contrary twist
yesterday by the arrival home Of the miss
ing girls mother. Mrs. Francis F.. Arnold.
In reply to the only two direct questions
her son, John W. Arnold, permitted re-
porters to ask her. Mrs. Arnold denied
even circumstantiaI knowledge whether
her daughter is dead OF alive, and en-
phatically declared she had not given con-
sent to a marriage between the girl and
Griscom.
Mrs. Arnold came home on the steamer
Pannonia, after having spent three weeks
in Florence, Italy, where she went to con-
fer with the Griscoms regarding her
daughters disappearance.
No knowledge Of Daughter.
Her eldest son. John. went down the
bay on revenue cutter to meet her, and
it was agreed among the reporters that
none should seek to interview Mrs. Ar
mold before the son had talked to her.
Arnold was in conference with his
mother more than twenty minutes, and
when he emerged from her stateroom
said: There is nothing to say. My moth
er has nothing to tell YOU She is upset
by the circumstances, and l wish you
would not ask to see her.
The son. however, hesitatingly consent
ed to, the submission of two direct aues
lions to his mother.
Have you,' was asked most formally
"at any time since your daughters disap
pearance received any definite informa
ton that would lead you to believe she
is dead or alive?
In q very low voice the mother replied:
mo: none. ] have received no word that
would tell me whether she is alive or
dead
No Consent to Marriage.
Have you.'' was asked. given your
consent to a marriage of your daughter
Dorothy to Mr.. Griscom, jr.??
NO; decidedly not" The reply came
quick and in a firmer voice.
Francis r. Arnold, the millionaire head
of the family, and his younger son,
Hickey Arnold. boarded the vessel as it
tied up at it's pier, and shortly after
ward the party drove in a taXicab to
the Arnold home. AS to future plans,
young Arnold said, I'VE have none.'
Does that mean you have given up
the search?''
Yes; that we have exhausted every
means we know to find Dorothy
DO you expect to go to Atlantic City
or Philadelphia?
NO; certainly not. My mother will
remain at home for several weeks rest"
do you expect Mr.. Griscom to come
here to consult you. or do you expect
to be in communication with him."
mo, indeed. Why should WEI
Griscom Is Silent.
ATLANTIC CITY, n. j., February Is.
There were no developments here
in the search for Miss Dorothy Arnold,
and it is believed that the case is over so
far as Atlantic City is concerned.
George S. Griscom. jr., OF Pittsburg,
who announced his engagement to the
young woman and whose name has been
linked with hers ever since she disap-
peared, refused to see any newspaper
men or to discuss the case.
When a reporter endeavored to tell him

rival Of Mrs. Arnold I've refused to re-
ceive the message.
