Family Of Dorothy Arnold
Coming to That Conclusion
WILL DRAGLAKE FOR BODY
This Determination Was Reached After
Receiving One Letter Which Hinted
That Girl Might Have Slipped
While Walking on Edge.

New York. Jan. 30.--It was decided
to-day to drag the lake in Central park
for the body OF the missing heiress, Dor
othy Arnold, who disappeared from home
December II, and who was reported as
seen in that vicinity. Many letters pur-
porting TO give information about the
girl have reached her father, Francis K.
Arnold, head of the importing house Of
f. h. Arnold & Co. The letters demand.
ed ransom for the return of the girl.
The letter in which Mr.. Arnold places
the most credence was dated New York
City, January 2s, and reads as fol-
lows:
Don't you think it is possible that
your daughter might have walked near
the large lake in Central park and per-
haps to pick up something walked too
near and slipped in? The lake always
looks pretty, winter and summer"
The possibility of Miss Arnold having
been attacked in the park was thought
by Mr.. Arnold last night to have been
strengthened by the story which wom-
an brought to the house, to the effect
that she was positive she had seen Miss
Arnold in a we'll known store near the
I'D street entrance to the park on De-
eember IL, the afternoon she disappeared.
1t was nearly dark then. she said, and
when she left the store she walked

Griscom Eliminated.

Mr.. Keith explained last night why
Investigations were made with regard to
George Griscom, ir. OF Pittsburg. whose
name, as well as the names of three
younger men of New York City, was
found in the girls letters Without
any intimation that any OF these men
had anything to do with the matter,
they were considered in investigating
everything that might have even the
remotest bearing on the case.
The family learned that Mr. Griscom
was in Florence, Italy, with his mother
and sister. Inquiries showed that lie
knew absolutely nothing Of the matter,
and, in Mr., keiths words, "he was there
upon eliminated from the case. No sus-
picion attaches to him whatever"
