The woman in the case'' was found
today by the Evening Star in its
hunt for Raymond e. Smith, missing
secretary and treasurer of the Rose
Vile Trust Company.
She is Miss Anna McCarrick, of
II Snyder street, Orange. She has not
been seen, it is said, since Smith fled
after the bank was found looted.
Literally she is "the woman in the
case" for the clue that led to her
identification was found by an Eve
ming Star reporter in the case of a
watch left behind by the bank Of
f1cial when he fed hastily from his
apartments at Central avenue and
South Seventh street last Wednes-
day morning, between 10 and IL
o'clock, the very hour when the bank
examiners were discovering traces or

The photograph in the watch
showed the face and shoulders of
pretty woman, with a mantel-piece
In the background. 1t was identified
as Miss McCarrick by her mother
and one of her sisters this afternoon.
1t had been rumored that Smith
had lavished jewels and gowns upon
some woman in Orange or East Or
ange. His neighbors in the apart
ment house where he had bachelor
apartments, had often seen Smith
car draw UP at the house with the
treasurer in it, accompanied by an
other man and two women. lnvart-
ably. however, the women wore heavy
auto wells, so that they were never
recognized.
With the picture and that much in
formation, it would seem compara-
lively easy task to identify Smiths
friend. Yet the amazing fact de-
veloped that such was not the case.
Smith had been so discreet that
even his most intimate friends did
not know who 1t was he took OUT

Old Resident Identifies Picture.
In casting about for clue as to
the scubject of the watch-photo, an
Evening Star reporter CHANGED upon
an old resident of Orange at noon to-
day. who said he was sure the picture
was that of Miss McCarrick, whom he
had known for years.
The McCarricks are a family of five
daughters, who live with the widowed
mother, Mrs. Della McCarrick, in a
picturesque two-story cottage at IL
Snyder street, Orange.
Before the picture found in Smiths S
watch was shown to her Mrs. Nc
Carrick was asked If she knew the
bank official.
"Why, yes, l know him." she an
swered.
You knew, them" she was asked,
"that he was going to marry your
daughter Anna when he had obtained
a divorce from his wife?"
"No!" she cried. I'D kill her

"That's Anna" She Exclaims.

That's Anna" she said. Where
did you get it?"
When she was told, she denied that
she knew her daughter and Smith had
been friendly.
"Well, where is Miss Anna McCar-
rick?" she was asked.
At first Mrs. McCarrick said she
was at home. Then she contradict
ed herself.
"My daughter is a dress maker" "
she explained in confusion. Just at
present she is out of town sewing.
You can see her yourself in the lat
ter part of the week."
"As a matter of fact. you encour-
aged your daughters friendship for
Smith, because he was bank Official
and comparatively well-off, didn't
you?" she was asked.

The finding of Miss McCarrick's S
probable connection with the case Is
the first real step that has been made
so far in running down Smith.
Her flight, if she did go to meet him,
will be much easier to trace, IL is
thought, than his.
