wounprNo THE STRICKEN

The District Attorney OF Allegheny
county. Pa. who some days ago pub
liciy stated that Dorothy Arnold. a
cultured and refined girl who mys.
teriously disappeared from her New
York home. had met an ignominious
and disgracefui death in a dlsreputa.
bic maternity house OF Pittsburgh, and
when confronted with a denial then
insisted she was at home dying from
the effects OF her treatment in this
resort, now has the effrontery to dis
claim all responsibility for these
statements In reply to an indignant
letter from the stricken father OF the
unfortunate girl.
This court official now sees the aw-
ful mistake he made In surrounding
his position with sensationalism In
stead OF facts. There was no foun-
dation for defaming the memory OF
this girl by consigning her TO such n
repulsive end. II was merely a bid
on his part for a little national notori-
ETY.. characteristic of those Pitts.
burghers who lack a proper concep-
ton OF the ordinary proprieties. This
notoriety seeker did say. after he had
hrstwounded the grief stricken parents.
that he now had information of un.
questionable reliability that the girl
was now lying at her home dying
from the effects of her experience in
the house OF mystery"
II is difficult to conceive of a char.
acter so lost TO human feeling willing
TO gratuitously infiict on a bereft and
distracted family the stigma the Dis.

scintilla Of competent evidence to SUD.

been the fate of this girl nothing of

after nearly two years OF tireless in.
vesugation and research. Her room
IN her fathers house in New York has
been preserved in just the state she
left 1t, so that IL she returned she
might not know she had been away.
This in itself is a strong plea for i'm.
munity from such scandalous and
torturing statements and reflections
as have emanated from Pittsburgh.

SENATOR LEWIS TRINITY OF

Any time the intrepid Senator ].
