ING To ATLANTIC CITY

4N
Arnold for some months, and ! am
ready to marry her at any time"
was the statement made by George
Griscom, Jr., of Pfttsburg, whose
name has been linked with that of
the missing young woman ever
since her disappearance. His father
was present when he made this
statement, which the parents OF
Miss Arnold evidently had been
waiting for. The elder Mr.. Griscom
nodded in assent.
The statement is generally accept
ed that there Is Il be an early we'd
ding and that the veil of mystery as
to Miss Arnold's present where
abouts will soon be lifted. Mr..
Griscom showed a willingness to re-
ply to questions, and frankly an
swered most OF them. Yet he was
.steadfast in his story that he had no
part in the young woman's disap-
pearance and that he did not know
where she was.

ACCIDENT AT
ROOSEVELT
Andrew Christensen's Milk
Wagon Hit by Train.

gpeoiof TO the EVENING NEWS.
Roosevelt, Feb. 13.@John Chris
Jensen, of Port Reading, had a MI
raculous escape from death about z
o'clock Saturday morning when his
milk wagon was struck by the en-
CINE of the train due In Chrome at
6:55 A. M. Christensen was driving
towards Port Reading at the time
and OF arriving at an unprotected
crossing in Woodbridge avenue, near
the Liebig works, his wagon was
struck by the engine of the train,
which vas running towards Chrome
at the time.
The wagon was knocked into
,splinters and Christensen WAS driven
by the force Of the impact fifteen or
twenty yards, where he lay uneon-
scious. The horse was struck In the
rear, but was only slightly injured.
Christensen had four ribs broken
and was internally injured. He was
removed to his home in a rig, where
his injuries received medical atten-
ton.
People who saw the accident are
still wondering how Christensen
survives his experience. From the
Carteret depot to the point where
the accident happened Is down grade
and the train with steam OF makes
but little noise. The crossing Is
dangerous to persons travelling to-
wards Carteret as a cluInp of trees
hides trains running towards Car
teret. Trains running towards
Chrome, however. are in full view
between Carteret and Woodbridge
avenue, whichever way travellers on
the avenue may be going.
Christensen lost a horse last fall.
It was shocked to death by a live
wire near Sewaren.

We're enough to worry even a police

ters, Immediately had the problem
unloaded upon him, but he could do
very little with it, although he thought
there would be no difficulty in arriv-
ing at the truth when they had the
three men before them.
Raddy was the first to be brought
in, and he held unwaveringly to the
main points of his original story. Pell
and Dorsey, when they arrived, did
the same, although Pell would not talk
freely until convinced that the facts
he had previously given were in the
possession OF the police. Their tales
differed in minor details from those
they had told earlier, but there were
no discrepancies OF vital importance

"And what dye think Of that"
growled the chief, toying with a pa
perweight that lay on his desk.
They were questioned separately at
first, and there was only time for each
to tell his story briefly before Fulmer,
the victim, arrived Then, at Dillon s
suggestion, they were brought in to-
gether and instructed to repeat their
stories to Fulmer and the chiefs stem
ographer They did so. Having con-
fessed twice already, what else could
they do? Besides, their instructions
left nothing to their discretion.
Fulmer, his head swathed in band
ages, listened, without comment. The
chief caressed the paper-weight in a
way that made the prisoners nervous.
II seemed quite possible that they
might have to dodge.
We'll, what do you make of it?"
was the query that Dillon finally put
to F'ulmer.

the three and then turned to Dillon.

CHAPTER VII.
Nat Gregg, popularity known as
"Groggy," stood irresolutely in front
OF a door that bore the inscription,

Gregg was discouraged-hung
thirsty, weary, and without money.
Luck was against him He had tried
t0 beg and had been given a Charity
Organization Society card. He had
"swiped" a lady's handbag and had
found therein, in addition to samples,
receipts and memoranda, exactly
three cents. He had held up a dude
and secured only a package of cigar
etts. In desperation, he had way laid
a man in the park, had been forced
to slug him when he resisted, and,
being frightened away, had failed to
get any booty.
The inside of a Jail, where he would
have food and a place to sleep. was
beginning to look good to Gregg. Anu
he might make what he termed "a
sympathetic play" by giving himself
up to save an innocent man.
A moment or two Gregg hesitated
in the corridor, then opened the door
and slouched in.
Three men, each under the guard of
a policeman, stood near the door. A
man with a bandaged head sat a short
distance away. The chief. his steno-
grapher and another man had their
heads together over the chiefs desk.
Gregg shuffled toward him. Say
chief" he said. 81 come to give my
self up"
What's that?" cried the chief
up with a jerk. What
you done?'
1T was me that slugged the guy

Gregg lodged just in time to let
the paper-weight crash through the
ground glass of the door behind him.

but he reached the corridor, made
record time to the street, and lost
himself in the crowd.
The chief stopped the policemen
who were starting in pursuit.

He turned on the three prisoners

another missile. Get out, you infer

He hastened them somewhat with
the toe of his boot as they went
through the door.
Then he faced Dillon and Fulmer.
Got anything to say about it?"
Dillon had nothing to say; he was
glad to be relieved of the problem.
Fulmer shifted uneasily in his
chair.

Petlow was one of the favored NOR.
tails who were permitted to use that
entrance. He found the chief alone,
and he told him the story of Raddy's
confession.

give him chance to swear to it while
he's feelin' that way"
But you'll protect my story" urged
Petlow.
Sure" promised the chief
Thereupon he telephoned to the
station at which Raddy was held, and
arranged to have lawyer and prisoner
meet in his office.
Albert Chester, of The Blade, ap-
peared a few minutes later. Chester
knew just where the chief could find
the man who had committed the as.
sault in the park.

The chief looked surprised.

I've got the whole story" said
Chester, "and it's a peach. Thought
I'd tip it off, so you can arrest him,
and don't forget, it's my story"
What's bitin' you?" demanded the
chief, disgutedly. "The man we got
has confessed"
1t was Chester's turn to be startled, |
and he was. But he recovered quick.
ly
There must be some mistake" he
insisted. 81 tell you, this man owns
up to everything"
so does the other" said the chief.
"It's an extraordinary story"
Sos the other" said the chief.
Anyhow" persisted Chester des-
perately, you'd better hear what ne
says. l can make him talk"
"All right" said the chief, "Tl
have him brought in"
Then, after listening to a brief sum-
mary of the tale, he ordered the ar
rest of Pell and telephoned for the
victim of the assault to come to his
office.
Jack Donovan, of The Star, entered
while he was puzzling over this an
noying complication. Donovan was
in such evident good spirits that it
made the chief peevish
"All l want from you,' said the
chief, lis just one yawp that you've
found the guilty man in the park as

who told you?" asked Donovan in
astonishment.
Get out of here" yelled the chief.
But he's confessed" explained
Donovan.

Sure he does! They all do"
ITS an amazing story"
They all are"

What's that" cried the chief, be-
coming less belligerent. That's a
lew gag. Spring it."
Thus encouraged, Donovan told his
story, and the chief listened mood
y.
You'd better talk to him anyhow"
urged Donovan in conclusion.
Sure" agreed the chief sarcasm
