Continued from I"ae rne. attorney, says that the s'rl did make a trip to the capital and remain there several daya shortly before her disap pearance on Ieceniber II. but that she went with her parents' consent and that the visit has nothing to do wltn her disappearance. Tbe Florence theory was that she had met George & Grlscom. Jr.. of I'lttsburg. In that city, but a cablegram from Gibraltar, where tbe steamship Berlin called with Sir. Grl.scom on board on his way home, quotes him as saying emphatically that he did not Deet her there and that be Is coming home in the ordinary course of af fairs, not for any special reason. Finally comes a story from Chlcseo to the effect that a girl who Is ped dling shoe polish ta said by two women to bear a striking resemblance to alias Arnold. Illackmallers Seek "Fany Money." The receipt by Mr. Arnold of a num ber of letters. Intimating that his daughter has been kldnuped and that the writers will give Information aa to her whereabouts on payment of large sums of money, is held by the family to be merely evidence that some enter prising blackmailers are taking advan tage of tho circumstances to try to make money. As each of these letters Is from a different source, and tells a different story as to the cause of the girl s disappearance and her where abouts, they refute one another, and none of them Is taken seriously.
