New York, April 22:-Police In specter Faurot, in charge of the de- tectives who yesterday visited a house outside of West Point in an effort to confirm a story that the body of the missing Dorothy Arnold has been dis covered buried in cellar, refused to- day to confirm reports that a body had been dug up. One of the detec lives who conducted the search was quoted as saying that a body was found under the cement floor in an old house, but that it was impossible to decide whether it YVES that of a man or a woman.
 Dorothy Arnold, daughter of Francis R. Arnold, a wealthy importer of this city, vanished mysteriously while on shopping trip on Fifth avenue in 1910. The present search, one of many, which have been made as a result of constant clues which the police and the Arnold family have received, was begun after Octave Charles Glennoris, convict in a Rhode Island prison, told a story a few days ago that he aided in the burial in a West Point cellar of a young woman resem bling Miss Arnold in description.
 Investigation 'Furthered.''
 Inspector Faurot and his men re- turned from West Point at midnight last night, declaring that the inves- tigation had been "furthered' and that he was satisfied with the result, but declining to answer at first a question as to whether body had been found. It was stated that the inquiry would be continued at West i,,f hy,t
 The house where the body is said to have been recovered fits the descrip- tion of that mentioned in Glennoris' story. It is now owned by New York banker and has not been regu- larly occupied for about ten years. It lies two miles south of West Point and is in an isolated locality
 Faurot and his men, with picks and shovels, dug at a spot where it was apparent that the concrete had been torn up. The caretaker said he had heard that the flooring had been dis turbed to repair water pipe.
 The body of Dorothy Arnold was not found in the cellar of the house outside West Point, where New York detectives searched yesterday. Police Inspector Faurot, who is in charge of Lito 'iiFOoClSdIlOll, dllIlo uuClIS COOay that there was no truth in published stories that Miss Arnold's body had been discovered.
 FaurOt Is SkepticaI.
 Inspector Faurot expressed his opinion that there was nothing to the story told by Octave Charles Glennoris, a convict in a Rhode Is- land prison. that he aided in the burial in a West Point cellar of a young woman resembling Miss Arnold in description.
 One of the detectives who had con- ducted the search had been quoted as saying that a body was found under the cement flooring in an iso- lated house two miles south of West Point, but Inspector Faurot said that "all we found in the cellar was an old four-inch water main''
 "The story told by Glennoris is absolutely false" Inspector Faurot said That is what I am going to put in my report to the police com missioner
 The inspector said he thought the Glennoris story was told in the hope of obtaining parole.
 A despatch received here today from West Point said that no body had been found, and that Inspector Faurot upon his departure last night for New York after his investigation had not left detectives on guard at the house. where the search was made as had been reported here.
