New York, Feb. 1.-THE end Of
the mysterious story of Dorothy Ar
mold by no means has been reached.

of the missing girls mother, Mrs.
Francis s. Arnold.
In reply to the only two direct
questions her son, John w. Arnold,
permitted reporters to ask her Mrs.
Arnold denied even crcumstantial
knowledge whether her daughter Ia
dead or alive and emphatically de-
clared she had not given consent to q
marriage between the girl and Girls

Mrs. Arnold came home on the
steamer Pannonia after having spent
three weeks in Florence. Italy, where
she went to confer with the Griscoms
regarding her daughters disappear

Her eldest son. John, went down
the bay on revenue cutter this morn

among the reporters that none should
seek to interview Mrs. Arnold 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, he
said.
There is nothing to say. My
mother has nothing to tell you. She
is upset by the circumstances and I
wish you would not ask to see her."
The son, hesitatingly, however, con-
sented to the submission of two direct
questions to his mother. She was

Misses M. l.. and A. Shackelford, and

"No, certainly not. My mother will
