Says Dorothy Arnold is Dead.

Cranston. r. l., April 17.-The
mystery of the disappearance
more than five years ago OF Miss
Dorothy Arnold, member of a
wealthy New York family, may
be solved by the purported con-
fession of Edward Glennorris, an
inmate of the State prison here,
giving details of her burial in the
cellar of a house outside west
Point, N. Y. The young woman
had died in the house, he said, at
ter being removed in an uncon-
scious condition from New Ro-
chelle, n. Y, where she had I'M
dergone an operation.
In a statement to Warden "A. j..
Davis of the prison, which he
made three weeks ago, and Which
he repeated to newspaper men to-
day, the prisoner said he was paid
$3.50 for what he did by a veal
thy man whose name he did not
know. An accomplish, whom he
had known as Little Louie'
hired him at a Seventh avenue
saloon in New FORK, according to
his story, and drove the automo-
bile which carried the young wo-
man from New Rochelle to West
Point.
The prisoner fixed December
1910, as the time of the events
which he described. 1t was on
December II of that year that
Dorothy Arnold left the home of
father, Francis R Arnold, a veal
thy New York importer, and
dropped out of sight.

Germans Continue Attacks.

London, March 11.-Throwing large
mass of infantry against the French
in the Corbeaux wood to the northwest
of Verdun, the Germans, after several
attacks in which they are declared by
Paris to have suffered large casual
ties, have retaken part of the wood
from which the French had previously
elected them.
The entire region about Verdun con.
tinues the scene of intense operations.
West OF DOuaumont and the sector
embracing the village of Vaux have
been points against which the Germans
have launched vicious infantry at
tacks, but at both places their eff
forts to advance broke down under
the heavy fire of the French, accord
ing to Paris.
Berlin, however counters this asser-
tion by announcing the taking of Dou-
aumont by the Germans and says also
that the Germans have succeeded in
pushing forward their lines through
the wooded sector southeast of Dam
loup, which lies a short distance east
of Fort Vaux.
The claim is made in the German Of

succeeded in gaining a firm footing

had captured either the fort or the
