On the JOth day of th! month one year will have rolled around since little Cath erine Winters disappeared from her home In thla city, leaving: not the rllRhtent clue to her whereabouts. And although photographs of the missing child have been sent to practically every city of America and have ap peared In newspapers and on moving picture screens from one end of the land to the other, her-disappearance lu. the mystery It was on the day her distracted parents began the search. Catherine Winters was 9 years old at the time of her disappearance and was declared by all who knew her to he unusually Intelligent for a child of her years. She Was the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. W. A. Winters, well known and respected residents of Newcastle. The child was last seen In the vicinity of her home at about noon on March 20, 1913. At that time she dropped out of sight as mysteri ously as If the earth had opened up and swallowed her. , Xaat Kaa Been Continuous. For an entire year Dr. Winters has taen engaged In a continuous search for his lost child. lie has traveled over a large section of the country and has visited every place whence came reports of anything that resembled a clue to the whereabouts of the little girl. Only a week ago he returned to his home after a fruitless trip to Ar kansas, where It was reported . that child resembjing Catherine Winters had been found. A peculiar feature of the case is that neither the parents nor the friends of the 'family have' ever entertained any other than the kidnaping theory as a solution of the mystery. Their firm belief that the child was kidnaped aeema to he shared also by the author ities who have Investigated the . case; despite the fact that a motive as well as evidence of kidnaping appears to he lacking. But those who hold to the kidnaping theory argue that the little girl must - either have been kidnaped or killed. And as It is incredible that a child who was known to nearly every per son In town could have met death in any manner In broad daylight without leaving a trace of the tragedy, the kidnaping theory aeems to offer the only reasonable explanation of the dis appearance. . On the other hand, there was no apparent motive for kidnaping the child. While Dr. Winters is possessed of moderate means his wealth is scarcely sufficient to attract a seeker after ransom. Furthermore, there has never been any demand made upon him for ransom money since the child disappeared, excepting by persons who ' sought a little "quick money" and whom it was easily shown by invest! Ration that they had no knowledge of little Catherine's whereabouts or the cause of her disappearance. The gypsy theory has been refuted by the certain knowledge that no gyp ales were in Newcastle or Its vicinity last March. A theory at first enter tained that the grandmother or . other . relatives of the child living In Wis contln might have been concerned in her disappearance, likewise was proven absolutely without foundation. Other supposed clues led to Michigan, to Iowa, and even to the Pacific north' west, but nothing came of them. Th offers of liberal rewards have brought -" no results. A special grand Jury in .vestlgation of the case failed to de velop any information or vaiue. state and county authorities and the Ira . ternal orders to which Dr. Winters be longs have lent their aid In the search. Dr. Winters, despite his long and fruitless .search, still appears confl dent that little Catherine will be , found Other who are closely inter ested In .the mysterious case believe that the missing child Is living, but where, or under what circumstances, none can even guess.
