PETERSBURG. VA, Oct. 22.-Per-
sistent efforts were made today to
get information concerning the al
legged death of Professor Carlo Mora,
Of this city, in an automobile acct
dent near Baltimore last Friday.
These efforts were unsuccessful.
Chief of Police Ragland last night
and this morning telegraphed Chief
questing him to find out whether Pro-
fessor Mora died Saturday in either
of the Baltimore hospitals. The Bal
timore chief has not yet replied.
The Washington Post of last Thurs
day contained an account of "a auto
mobile accident near Laurel. Md, in
which several people were hurt. AS
this happened on Wednesday, the
18th, 1t was impossible for Professor
Mora to have been there 1t is thought
that when Professor Mora reached
Washington he read an account Of this
accident and appropriated 1t In nit
of alteration and sent the telegram.
II is now the general belief here
Shat Professor Mora Is alive. If this
is true, he could easily have disap-
peared without the necessity of send
ing a telegram announcing his death.
