GIRL IS FOUND
Attorney Refutes Statement
of NeU York Police

NEW YORK, April "a sensational
report that Dorothy Arnold central hg7
ure in Americas most famous missing
girl' mystery, as no longer listed
among the missing persons" was denied
today by John S. Keith, attorney for
Francis R. Arnold, father of the girl, who
disappeared on Dec. u. 1910. and upon
the vain search for whom 100000 has
been spent.
The report arose from a statement at
tributed to Police Capt. John Ayres, who
was quoted as having said in a lecture
last night that the mystery was solved.
ITS a lie from start to inish," said
Keith. "DorOthy's disappearance is as
much a mystery today as it was the
day she disappeared"
