Pocono TO East Stroudsburg. Peter Marlno
and Angelina DeSanto took tho late Lacka-

This is the solution Of the disappearance
that stirred tho Pocono mountainslde,
created wild stories of assault and abduc-
tion, caused several hundred men to scour
the parents of the girl.
Tattered and torn in dress, tired out
physically and as hungry as bears, the

from Mount Pocono went into an East
stroudsburg store Monday night TO get
something to eat.
Mart Mccormick, the aviator, who was
In the store at the time, having been called

a checkered skirt badly torn in places, and
had bandanna handkerchief over her

of money. Both wore a look of anxiety

The girl spoke English perfectly, One of
the first questions was about the trains,
and they asked whether the late train
went only TO Scranton or on to Bingham
