FRIENDS GET CLUE
TO MISSING LAWYER
Man Saw Elliott Marshall Ap.
parently on Way TO Mont
clair Home.
PLAN NATIONAL SEARCH
Committee TO Cover All Parts of
Country in Effort to Find
Attorney.

The frst Definite clue as to the move
ments OF Elliott Marshall, a wealthy
lawyer of ~ Wall street, after he left the
office OF Spencer Trask & Co. Thursday
afternoon apparently with the intention
OF going to his home in Montclair, was
furnished yesterday by young Montclair
man. The man said that at r. NJ
on Thursday he saw Mr. Marshall walk
ing east along Cortlandt street between
Broadway and Church street. evidently on
his way TO the McAdoo tube station Mr.
Marshall generally went to the Laclsa-
wanna station In Hobo<en by way Of
the Barclay street ferry. although some-
times he took tube train.
The young man Ia well acquainted with
the missing lawyer but did not speak
to him. He assured members of the COM
mttce. organized by twenty-five per-
sonal friends OF Mr.. Marshall on Sunday
for countrywide search. that he WAS
confident the lawyer was then on his way
home
This evidence that Mr.. Marshall was
headed Jerseyward two hours after he
dropped out OF sight caused Walter T.
Hampton. a lawyer at II Battery place,
the chairman. and other members OF the
search committee to continue the search
in New Jersey with great vigor
The search committee opened headduar-
ters yesterday at IS Wall street. where
Mr.. Hampton and George T. Whyte Of
Montclair. an official OF the Standard
Wood Company and a close personal
friend OF Mr. Marshall, remained the
greater part Of the day. putting into op
ere ton details OF the plans by which II IL
Intended to cover every section OF the
country.
Mrs Marshall who was critically III
following the birth six weeks ago Of her
child that died. and Miss Alice Marshall.
the missing lawyer sister. are confident
that his mind is under a temporary cloud
and that when ne becomes normal his first
thought will be of home.
