NO TRACE IS FOUND
OF MISSING JACKIE
Young Carolinian Who Came to
Capital to Enlist Disappears.

Absolutely no trace has been
found by the Washington police Of
Claude Pemberton, who came to
this city August 81 from North
Carolina to enter the Naval Hospi-
tai Service as a druggist, and who
was apparently spirited away last
Friday from his room in the
ReIeigh Hotel, up to a late hour
last night.
Edward c. Pemberton, the 1S-
year-old brother of the missing
man. who came to the National
Capital to enlist in the navy, last
night said that his brother was a
resident of Mount Olive, North
Carolina, and had owned a drug
store there; that his brother had
only recently come to Norman in
order that they might come to
Washington together to enlist for
military service.
He reiterated his belief that some-
thing of a serious nature had be-
fallen his brother. He again
voiced the opinion that the four
men who had entered his room
Friday night and borrowed his
last dollar might have robbed his
brother and possibly injured him
in some way.
The opinion. he said, is strength
ened by the fact that one of the
men, who they had met last Tues
day. knew his brother had $40, and
that he had seen pone of the four
since the night OF his brothers
disappearance.
1t was learned last night that
the missing man had been arrested
last Thursday by the police of the
First precinct on charge Of
drunkenness and had been released
the same day after putting up SO
collateral.
