two weeks ago, when she disappeared as
18th and F streets northwest. In spit of
the utter hopelessness of the search and
the absolute failure to turn up the slight
est clue. the womans husband, Rev
w. H. Greever of South Carolina. is
still searching for her; hundreds of anna
teur detectives are on the lookout for
the woman and the police are doing
everything in their power to find trace
of her.
Mrs. Greever was walking along f
street with her nurse two weeks ago.
She left her for few minutes at 18th
street, one of the busiest corners in
the city. Since that time she has not
been seen, and the search for her was
started before she could have gone two
blocks, as she was in a nervous conditon
and was being cared for by the nurse.
Her husband was at police head
quarters again last night talking the
case over with Inspector Boardman.
With him was his wife's brother. A.

1t was suggested last night that Mrs
