KEYPORT, Nov. 20:-Keyport
officials were able on Saturday last
to clear up the mystery surrounding
he strange woman found wandering
the streets. She gave her name as
Miss Frane4ne Van Costenberghe and
insisted that she lived on Liberty
street, Brooklyn. She was taken to
the borough hall and questioned by
several people who were called in on
the case by Officer George NJ. Mason.
She claimed to be French but could
give no satisfactory explanation of
her conduct. On the following morn
Borough Attorney Arthur S. Van
Buskirk, who got in touch with the
police department in Brooklyn but he
could learn nothing from them. From
certain remarks which the woman
made Mr.. a Buskirk thought that
some information might be obtained
from the police Of Elizabeth. He ac-
~cordingly telephoned headquarters in
that city and there learned that a
woman of her name and description
was missing from her brothers home
at 1145 Louisa street. Her family
were notified and during the after
noon her brother and father came to
Keyport and took her home. h
family stated that she had been miss
ing since Tuesday and that she was
suffering from melancholia caused by
a bereavement which she had suffer
ed a few months ago.
From the facts given by her family
it was soon seen that events during
the last thirteen years a entirely
escaped her memory, thus making 1t
difficult for the officials to help her.
She had come to this country from
Holland about six years ago and had
never to their knowledge been to
NBrooklyn and spoke but little French.
She disclaimed all knowledge of Ser
native tongue.
