deputy marshals to locate Mrs. Archi-
bald Oracle, who is wanted as a wit
ness for the government to fefute
statements alleged to have been made
by Mrs. Gage and her daughter, Miss
Margaret {. Gage, were unavailing. 1t
was thought that Mrs. Oracle. h
has peer strangely missing since her
name became involved in the case,
would betray her whereabouts in her
anxiety over the safety of her nus
band. Colonel Oracle. a passenger on
the Inflated Titanic, but she has not
been found.

asked Mrs. Gage by her attorney IL

last week. she was turned over TO the
opposing counsel. who began a rigid
cross-examination. Particularly press
ing were the cross-eXaminers in re-
gard to the details of the National Sc
ciety of Colonial Daughters. a patriotic
organization founded by Mrs. Gage,
queries being made about the
financial phase of the society.
Facetious or satirical questions were
hurled at the witness relative to her
~genealogy, as contained in a book writ
by herself from information fur-
nished in the main by Charles IL.
Browning. a eenealogist, who figured
out that Colonel Roosevelt was de-
from Robert Bruce. a Scottish
king.

some testimony in rebuttal relative to
the family tree OF Mrs. Gage.

ond National bank here, was arrested
this morning by a federal marshal on
