identity of one of the women who aided

week here with friends at Stoneleish

Borden stayed while in Washington. Mrs
White and her two daughters. with whom
Miss Borden attended school, left Wash

going to Atlantic City. Miss Borden is
said by the detectives to be strongly at

Despite many conflicting rumors in
circulation this morning to the effect
that Miss Borden was thought to have
returned to Washington. Morgan Brad

agency. which located Miss Borden last
