Ayers Denies Announcing
Dorothy Arnold Solution
Police Captain Says He Merely
Said Search Apparently
! Had Ceased

Police Captain John II. Ayers. in
charge of the Bureau OF Missing Per-
sons, yesterday denied that he had
said in his lecture FRIDAY night Mt the
HIGH School of Commerce that the
fate of Dorothy Arnolc. who disap-
reared December 12, 1910, was known
to the police.
He said his statements had been
misrepresented by morning news
paper. ,,,
planned Captain Ayers, somebody
said, How about Dorothy ArnoldT |
said in reply that, Judging by the fact
that those most interested-by that.
meant her family--have apparently
ceased their efforts in the case, It
looked as if they no longer regarded
it as mystery to them. | did not
say the mystery was solved"
Captain Ayers added that he had
never taken an active hand in the IN
vestigation Of the disappearance, be-
cause the case was apparently forgot
ten before he became connected with
the Bureau of Missing Persons.
The police records show that the
Dorothy Arnold mystery is still car
ried as an open or unsolved case. Fol
long time there has been no activ
ity in connection with it.
The family of Miss Arnold spcn
100000 in search for her. 81,
years ago her father declared he wa
convinced she was dead. The search
for the girl, who was a graduate o
Bryn Mawr was carried to all part
of the United States.
