Contradictions and Denials Are Only Fruits of the Search for Identity of Mysterious Madame Ar riOla

Again the trail leading to the iden- committed suicide at the Hotel Adams last Thursday has run into an un- assailable bluff Winding in and out from trace to trace of a past life and past history, touching here for a mo- ment, branching to another place for an equally short time the trail has come to nothing, and the character of Madame Arriola, as she was known here, is yet unsolved, unknown.
 Special messages from. the several parts of the United States where Ma dame Arriola had been, had been re- ported to have stopped or was thought to have relatives or connections, have raised false hopes that the question of who the woman was, had been solved. There is no more definite knowledge of her now than there was at the time of her death, with the exception of one trace, that she has married sister in Canton, Ohio, who has been communi- cated with but who has not yet replied to the message.
 The following are some of the places the trail has touched, some of the sev- eral cleWS that have led here and there ana nowhere, some of the attempts that have been made by the county and The Republican to decide just who Ma dame Arriola might have been. They all leave the same conclusion,- con- | jectured solutions.
