Mrs. White appeared in Washing
ton on April II. accompanied by
three strikingly beautiful young
women. They were her nieces, Violet
and Gladys sheldon, of New York,
and Miss Borden Their first appear
ance was at the new Powhatan Hotel,
where Mrs. White registered for the
party. After a stay of only a few
hours they left the hotel and in
stalled themselves in an apartment
at Stoneleigh Court, on Connecticut
avenue.
Friends of the Bordens say that
Miss Ramona had run away" from
her father in order to join Mrs. White
at that time. Information Mr.. Bor-
den received led him to think that
his missing daughter was in Wash
| ington' and he engaged the Bradford
detective agency of that city to look
for her.
On last Friday representatives OF
that agency discovered the retreat
of the party, and took Miss Borden,
protesting, from the Stoneleigh. Mrs.
White, it is said, was told that a
warrant would be obtained for her
| IL she tried to prevent the detee-
tives from returning Miss Borden to
her father. Mrs. White, according to
dispatches from Washington. then
advised her young friend to go quiet
| ly with the men her father had
sent.
Ordered to Rest Cure.
Miss Borden came to New York in
the care of woman doctor. On her
arrival DR.. George NJ. Parker, of 80
Claremont avenue, was called to sea
her. The physician says he found
her nervous and thin, badly in need
of rest and quiet. He advised that
she go to the Pompton Lake rest
cure" institution. She was accom-
panied to the sanitarium by Miss
Marie Coagland, a nurse in DR.. Par
ker's employ.
1t is now known that Mrs. White
left Washington on Saturday twenty
four hours after Miss Borden was
taken from Stoneleigh Court by
Bradford agency detectives. She'went
to Atlantic City, taking rooms at
the Marlborough Blenheim. With her
were the two nieces who had been
of the Washington party, and also
| Miss Helen Webb, another niece, who
was a classmate of Miss Borden at
private school at 1ngleside, Conn.
A possible clue to Miss Borden's
present whereabouts was found in
tracing Mrs Whites movements after
her departure from Washington. Last
night 1t was learned that the woman
so anxiously sought in this strange
case left the Marlborough-Bl enheim,
Atlantic City, at 2:30 o'clock yester-
day afternoon, taking a train for New
York Five young women, one of
whom answered description of Miss
Borden, were with her
Fitted TO Manage Girl.
The only explanation offered for
Mrs. Whites supposed strange in
terest in and peculiar influence over
Ramona Borden is contained in
statement made by DR.. Parker, the
missing young woman's physician.
The doctor said:
Mrs. White is an estimable woman,
but very emotional. She has con-
ceived the notion that she isseetter
fitted to care for Miss Borden than
Mr.. Borden is. She is, therefore, try
ing to come between the child and her
father. The friendship of Miss RAJ
mona for Mrs. Whites nieces is the
result Of schoolgirl associations.
"The young woman is rather hard
to manage, and has given her father
considerable trouble, although she is
a very attractive child and possessed
of unusual good looks, mental gifts
and other charms.
Mr.. Borden said today that his
wife, from whom he is separated and
who lives in Los Angeles, was "as
much shocked as he over their
daughters disappearance. He had
received word to that effect, he said.
