BY TRAIL OF BLOOD
Servant Believed to Be
Wandering in Woods With
Self-InfliCted Wound.

pine woods near American University,

trail of blood, here and there, on
dried leaves on the ground on bushes
and occa sIonally on the tree trunks,
which told the police the route which
the woman had taken.
Acting Lieut.. G.. E. Cornwell was
pushing his men to the extremes this
afternoon in the hope Of finding Miss
Cook alive. The discovery of a blood
stained nightgown in a clump of
bushes well back in the woods gave
new vigor to the search. Lieut.. Corn

is roaming about in the woods slowly
bleeding to death from self-inflicted
wound

makes the search difficult. Numerous
little gulIeys. thick clumps of under

handicaps.

native of England and speaks with a
marked British accent. Twenty-Five
years old, she stands 5 feet inches
in height and weighs 100 pounds. She
