to Investigate Picture
Not Identified

The disappearance Of Dick Robinson
remains as much or even more OF
mystery than it first appeared, for
each clue ,as It is spun out, results in
nothing. 1t has been proven beyond
the shadow Of a doubt that the clothes
reported 10 have been found on the
banks Of the Washita we're not those
worn by Robinson.
When seen this mo~ping, w. ID. Bal
ley said, "No clothing Of any kind has
been found on my place with the ex-
eeption Of a pair Of overalls near the
river bank and the story that cloth
ing possibly worn by Robinson on the
night Of his disappearance is absolute
ly without foundation"

called at the home Of Mrs. Dick Rob
inson and offered his services as a de.
tectiva tc work On the case, which
services were refused. However, Ray
said that he had had experience along
that line and would do what he could
to solve the mystery He stated that
his daughter had been abducted dur
ing the summer and that he had fol-
lowed the abductor to Colorado and
had recovered his daughter He stat
ed further that he intended to go to
work on the case at once.
Mrs. A. G. Lines, a sister Of tho
missing man, went into the country
yesterday and located the man who
was ON Saturday night taking his
drunken son home, and this man.
whose name is not known, stated that
he knew Robinson well and that he
had seen him about II o'clock going
west on Texas avenue. but that he
had not noticed whether or not be
turned north or south on Second
street To have recognized a man on
dark night would require that he be
quite close and the fact that he was
busily engaged in keeping his son In
the wagon prevented him from notie-
ing Robinson's actiogs further He
stated that he heard no scream nor
sound Of a struggle which, considering
all known evidences, is in favor Of the
theory that Robinson turned north In
stead Of south on Second street. which
is in favor of the clue that he left the
/ city on the 1925 Rock Island that
night
Joe Elsner states that he saw Rob
