NEW YORK. April 22.-About an
old. rambling Colonial house secluded
on the banks OF the Hudson. near
West Point. centered a search today
for the body OF Dorothy Arnold. miss
ing New York heiress. whose disap-
pearance five years ago has furnished
a mystery battling the police OF
Europe and America.
In a cold drizzle of rain. scores OF
curious tourists made their way over
the roads from West Point to gaze
upon the bleak old house. Convict
GlennOrris. in the Rhode Island peni-
tentiary, says il holds the secret of
the young wOmans disappearance.
Inspector FaurOt, in New York, is
gathering every item OF information
regarding the possible house Of
death He admitted today that a
portion of the cellar had been dug
up when he and four of his detectives
visited the place last night They
failed 90 find the body. but the search
has not been abandoned. On the con-
trary the information gained so far
leads FaurOt and his men to believe
that GlennOrris must have had a part
/ In some crime I'm the section he has
been able to describe so minutely.
/ Whether he actually was a party to
/ the burial Of Dorothy Arnold or not,
| Faurot is not ready to concede, but
| he now believes the convict's confess
/ sion and the old William Pell house
] on the Hudson warrant the most
/ thorough investigation.
! FaurOt and Detective Grant VIII
liams went to West Point to search
for the house in the cellar Of which
| GlennoTris claimed the body was bur-
led after Williams visited the con-
vict I'm the Rhode Island penitentiary,
il was learned today Williams is thor
oughly familiar with the West Point
district. and was surprised az the
knowledge Glennorris had Of the lOca-
tion of different landmarks.
Williams did not tell Glennorris
that he knew the West Point section,
said Faurot. but just let him tell Of
different landmarks he was acquaint-
ed with. The convict described the
old colonial house, how their roads
lay. and the house across the way IN
which the light was burning Then
he told of the night trip in the auto
mobile during which the girls body
was carried away and buried.
"He told Williams that statements
that the girls face was veiled were
incorrect He said he saw her face
distinctly and that she was SO strik-
ingly like that of the pictures he had
seen of Dorothy Arnold that he asked
who she was. Glennorris then said he
was told the girl was Dorothy Arnold
He said he had no dea how she came
TO her death
Going to West Point we located
the house answering Glennorris' gen
eral description. We found that the
collar floor had apparently been re
paired at one spot since il was first
laid We began digging there.
After going to considerable depth VI
struck a sewer pipe That's all We
found and we then returned here Il
pick up the immediate thread of on
investigation. Later another trip ma.
be made to the house"
Faurot said that in view Of the de
, velopments the investigation woul'
, now be carried to the limit. II III
, story told by Glennorris is not true
+ Faurot said he did not know what OBJ
2 iect the convict had in telling ii. un
/ less he hoped he might be release
from the pententiary for time to All
e in the search.
