presently to wait for the Irvington

The noxt time she was noticed was

drugs. She hadn't eaten for twenty
four hours. she had no money. her
shoes and stockings were found to
contain seashore sand and her cos

wore n cheap new black velvet hat
with metal buckles. a dark blue suit.
black silk stockings and black shoes.

next thing she was conscious OF. she
said. was a gas Jet glimmerlng over
the bed on which she was lying In n
cheap room In New York.
An old woman. ugly and evil looking.
was smiling at her. and there was n
young. rather good-looking man In the
room. She asked them for food, she
says, and the man tried TO force whis-
key on her. She lapsed into uncon-
seriousness again, still fighting off the
rlask.
When she awoke yesterday morning.
she says the young man was alone

flannel rag over her eyes, she asserts.
and led her outdoors to a taxicab.
After a long ride she claims the taxi
stopped and she was put out near a
ferry slip which the young man as
sured her was the way back TO New
Jersey. She took the ferry and found
herself at st. George. That is her
ing when she awoke apparently none
the worse Of her experience.
There will have TO be a few re-
takes. however. before the film -'ill
run smoothly. For instance. when
she left home Saturday morning she
told her father. Louis Nausbaum. that
she would not come home from work.
but would 30 straight down TO Brlgh-
ton Beach with young man who
works In a Newark drug store. This
young man denies that he had any
appointment with Miss Nausbaum,
and his employer backs him up in his
assertion that he worked all saturday
afternoon and evening In the drug
store.
According TO her story OF what hap
pened when everything went black"
she did not go to the seashore; yet
the detectives are positive that the
sand In her shoes came from a beach
some place. Again. she can give no
definite description of the old woman
and the young man with the wnlskey
flask, nor can she locate the place
where they held her captive. Detcc-
tive Alderman has taken the SHOES
and stockings to the shop where they
were sold TO SEQ IL the purchaser can
be located. Detective Graham has
gone 10 Newark.
