DROWNING Of
MRS. CHEATHAM
Son-in-Law Doubts She Per-

tinue Divorce Suit.
Nv international News Service.

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-Fresh
was added today to the dis
appearance of Mrs. f. S. Chatham,
of New York city ard Walls. Miss,
grandmother of the much-kidnaped
infant, Charlotte Mayo, when her
son-in-law. Roy Mayo, . broker,
challenged the police theory that the
missing woman had been drowned.
Clothes Were Found.
Police listed her name with five
other persons as having been drowned
at beaches here yesterday when cloth
ing belonging to her was found In a
bathhouse after the beaches had
closed.
Mayo processes TO see a connection
between his mother-in-law's disappear
snce and his determination to file adj
ditional papers In divorce suit today.
The new development, he says. will
not deter him from filing the papers.
which, he AYERS, will be of a sensa-
tional nature.
Police previously had abandoned the
theory that Mrs. Cheatham had prob
aDly Dttfl loChtu Out VI hNt
when the beach was closed for the
night, for no word was received by
relatives from the missing woman.
High Spots In Case.
The high spots in the mysterious
disappearance today are summed up
as follows:
II Mrs. Cheatham was drowned. why
has her body not been washed up on
the beach?
II she was locked out of her bath
house and stopped at a beach bunga-
low Of a friend, why has she not COM
with relatives?
Is the disappearance of Mrs. Cheat
ham linked with the divorce suit OF
her daughter, Mrs. Mayo. or with the
many kidnapings OF the little girl,
Charlotte Mayo?
Mrs. Cheatham Is the mother OF Mrs.
Roy A. Mayo, OF New York city. whose
little daughter has figured conspicu-
ously In numerous kidnapings since
divorce proceedings were brought
against her some time back. She told
an International News reporter:

2 o'clock. She told me she WAS going
TO the beach. That is the last / have
heard from her"

volved in the marital troubles OF her
parents. was first reportdd kidnapped
from the home of her father in New
York last July s. Detectives located
her in Memphis. Tenn, the former

ham, OF that city. Mrs. Mayo was said
to have been in Memphis with the
kidnapped child. Detectives, however,
were outwitted In Memphis and later
the child was located in Walls, Miss.
According TO last reports, little Char
lotte was in her fathers possession.
A clue to the identity of the missing
woman was gained from letter found
in a beaded handbag found in the bath
house locker engaged by Mrs. Cheat
ham. 1t was written by Mrs. Bal
lard, of Memphis. Tenn. and was ad-
dressed to Mrs. Cheatham at her New
