She was detained in a room near Third
and Pine streets.
The Godstein girl left her home last
Wednesday on an errand for her mother
and has not been seen since. Search of
hospitals in Newark and nearby towns
brought no trace Of her. As the girl
had but small sum of money, she
could not have gone anywhere of her
own volition.
On the night following her disappear =
ance, Mrs. Goldstein was awakened by
telephone call. When she answered
the woman was startled to hear her
daughters voice. 81 am held in a room
in Philadelphia, the girl said quickly
please tell the police. am-." Just
there the connection broke as If some
one had discovered the girl sending the
message and pulled her from the tele-
phone.
