her fate-investigation that failed
to turn up a single clue.
1t was discovered that a clan
destine friendship existed between
the girl and George S. Griscom,
jr., Pittsburgh engineer she had
met while at Bryn Mawr. Less
than two months before she van
ished, it was learned, she secretly
met GriScom in Boston, spent
some days in his company and
pawned $500 worth of her jewels
for $50.
Griscom, located in Florence,
Italy, denied all knowledge of the
girls fate. They we're secretly en-
gagged, he said, a claim the Ar
mold family disputed. An ex-
change of elegrams between the
family and a visit by Mrs. Ar
mold and her eldest son, John,
failed to throw any light on
Dorothy's fate. Later Griscom re-
turned to the United States and
hired a detective to aid in the
hunt for her.
Drop Search
On April 13, 1911, the family
requested police to discontinue
the search, expressing belief
they faced a blank wall.
A year after her disappearance,
her father stated: Il have no
idea where she could have gone
or what happened to her. I feel
that she is dead but, of course,
1 have no way of knowing this.
Despite my belief that my daugh-
ter no longer lives 1 am having
every possible clue investigated,
no matter how slight or how i'm
probable it may SEEM"
Arnold died in April, 1922. In
his will was clause stating he
had made no provision for Doro-
thy because he believed she was
dead. Mrs. Arnold died in Decem.
ber, 1928, leaving a will contain
ing similar clause.
