Mrs. F. \ Black. S34 Ninth street,
believes that the Jane Elizabeth

wrote to Chief OF Police Brinn in hopes
OF finding. was he mother, who died

Although the letter written the chief

to a relation existing between Mrs.

in many respects il tallies with facts
concerning " Rock Island woman's
mother.
The letter stated that Mrs. Croker.
the niece OF Mrs. Bettridge. was a ma
tive OF Connecticut. but Mrs. Black
states that her mother was born in
Ohio. Another point against the fact
that the Mrs. Crocker referred to in

was that the latter was So years old
when she died.
However. Mrs. Black wrote to Mrs.
