GODOWSKY'S WIFE
FEARS HE IS DEAD
New York Police Have No Clue to
Noted Pianist Now Missing
Five Days.

NEW YORK. Sept. 6.-The mystery OF
the disappearance Of Leopold Godowsky.

great for solution not only by the
pianist's family and friends. but by a
score Of detectives working directly un-
der Deputy Police Commissioner Guy
Scull.
any one who had seen Godowsky since
he vanished after leaving a hair dress
ing establishment In Forty-third street
at o'clock on Wednesday evening has
strengthened the theory that the mu-
sician fell a victim Of highwavmen.
who robbed him OF his money and Jewels
and probably did him bodily harm.
The police have practically aban-
doned the belief that Godowsky disap-
peared while suffering from an attack
OF ,amnesia or aphasia. They think
that he Is so we'll known In all parts of
the city that some one would have
recognised him II ne wandered about In
that state.
1t was learned this morning that Nine.
Godowsky, who Is in a state of nerv-
Gus collapse at her summer home at
Avon, N. j.. ,entertains premonition
now that her husband was drowned.
The police learned from friends of
Godowsky that when he carried q large
sum OF money-which was frequent-he
would take all OF the money out Of his
pocket in making even a trifing pur-
chase. Ii Is thought that an uncon-
scious display OF his wealth on last
wednesday may have led 10 his being
waylAid and robbed.
