Husband Tracks Her Halt

systematic search of hospitals and
morgues has failed to throw any light
on the strange disappearance of Mrs.
Catherine Nolan, a handsome woman
of % years, of 140 James street, who
has completely dropped from sight.
Her husband, Joseph, employed in the
street department, has conducted a

her home yesterday morning about 4
o'clock, after complaining of severe
cramps.
Monday night the family had chicken
for dinner. The two children, Viola, 10
years old, and Marie. aged 5, com
planned of feeling i'll. A home remedy
was administered and they went to
bed. Later in the evening husband and
wife suffered cramps. Mr.. Nolan went
to drug store and purchased some
peppermint, which was partaken of by
both. The pain apparently left the
husband but Mrs. Nolan kept on COM
planning.
She sat in the kitchen by the fire.
side moaning, and finally begged her
husband to call an officer so that she
could be removed to the City Hospital.
The husband says he explained to her
that it would be impossible for her
to get in the hospital without the GER
tificate Of a physician. Mrs. Nolan was
nersistent, and when her husband went
to another room to get his coat she
disappeared. Mr.. Nolan said he heard
his wife go to the bedroom where the
children were asleep and kiss them
goodby. He believed this to mean that
she was going to bed and finished his
dressing.
When Nolan got to the kitchen he
found the door open. Going to the
street he found the tracks of his wife
in the falling snow. He followed the
footprints and they led him to Sussex
avenue and Newark street. Here sight
of the woman was lost. Believing that
the woman had gone to the home of her
mother, Mrs. Rose Boylan, at 279 War
rem street, Nolan went there, but his
wife had not arrived. Alarmed at what
was told her, Mrs. Boylan then Joined
in the search for her daughter.
The hospitals were visited but no
trace. of the woman could be found.
Tie police were then notified and all
The patrolmen on the streets ordered to
keep a sharp eye for the woman.

and was treated for nervousness.
Neighbors declare that they often
heard the woman say she feared she
was suffering tuberculosis and would
rather die than have to live under
such a strain. The family is distract
ed and the little girls refuse to be COM
forted.
Neighbors declare the life Of the
family to all appearances was happy
one. Mr.. Nolan declared in all his
eleven years of married life he and his
wife had never quarreled.
