NEW YORK, January 28-Justice
Joseph Force Crater stepped OF into the
blue last August and his life became a
closed book.
But this mysterious disappearance
only called to mind the fact that men
and women have stepped into vacua for
years just as mysteriously and Just as
thoroughly.
News files Of recent years are filed
with repetitions of the ancient theme.
The stories make first pages for a few
days. then, as no developments come,
are relegated inside, eventually to be
dropped as some new mystery comes to
the front.
In some instances the motives-love
financial difficulties, dependency or
knavery-are indicated; in others there
Is no clue.
The first splurge on the Crater case
had barely died down when, on Novem-
Der 8, 1880, Mitchell B. Kaufman, pres
ident Of the Converse Rubber Co., NAL
den, Mass, disappeared in the big woods
OF Jackman, Me-, while hunting with
a party of friends. Eight hunored Ca
madam and American woodsmen secured
400-square-mile area of wild country
for q month, fruitlessly A mystery
shot, heard at the time kaufman dis
appeared, was investigated, without re-
suit.
Dry Agent Disappears.
Ray Sutton, New Mexico prohibition
agent, was last seen alive on the after
noon Of August %, 1880, seated in his
automobile near Ration, N. Mex. His car,
bloodstained and hidden under brush,
was found last November, II miles south
Of Ration. Airplanes of the Colorado
National Guard aided hundreds of men
in q hunt for the missing agent, who
had been active against dry law viola
tors, without success.
Hutton Bellah, 80, former editor of
Altus, Okla, has been missing since
December IS. 1929, when he left his
family in Los Angeles, taking no per-
sonal belongings and leaving no farewell
message. Bellah had gone to Los An
geleS from Lebanon. Ind, to go into
business. His wife could assign no rea-
son for his disappearance.
The most widely publicized disap-
pearance on the Pacific Coast in recent
years was that of William L. Tallman,
known as Handsome Bill" alleged
slayer Of Ms. Virginia Patty in Los
Angeles. On June 4, 1929, the day Mrs.
Pattys body was found, Tallman,
against whom suspicion had been di-
rected, boarded ship for San Fran
cisco. Police wirelessed the vessel to
hold him. He was purportedly confined
to his cabin, but could not be found
when the ship locked. Tallman once
had worked on the boat as an officer
and police theorized that he had been
released by former friends and that he
had been removed in trunk at San
