NEVER RECOVERED FROM HER ILLNESS Despite Denials of Father of . Girl, He Claims to Have ' Positive Proof Pittsburg, April 11. Dorothy Arnold is not dead, according to a declara tion by District Attorney Jackson here today. She is dying at her home in New York, he asserted. He added that he had positive information she was a patient at Dr. C. C. Moredith's maternity hospital here. . "Dorothy enme to Pittsburg soon aftor her disappearance from home in 1910 and entered the Meredith hos pital ais a patient,'.' said Jackson. "She never recovered from her illnosa and is now dying in New York, whore sho has been for four months." The district attorney, although posi tive in what he said, did not make public tho information on which he based his statement. He did say, however, that ho knew from the con fession by Dr. Ltitz, Merodith's assist ant, that many women, possibly a score, entered tho hospital and disappeared. . "Evidence is coining in hourly," said the district attorney, "by tele phone and by mall. This afternoon I'll Bhow you Mrs. Myrtle Allison's body. Unlike most of the others, it who buried instead of being burned. Mrs. Allison died iu Meredith's place and was buried in the United ceme tery iindor the name of Daisy Davis." "One of the nurses also told me of another woman, whose name has nol hitherto been mentioned in connection with tho case who was operated on at the hospital and died from the offects." Examination of the monster twin furnaces in the hospital basement re vealed tho fact that they were con nected' liko those in a crematory and so arranged that the odor from the burning bodies would not be noticed. . Missing Tour Tears. Miss . Arnold disappeared from the home of her father. Francis Arnold, about four years ago. The search for her was country-wide. At first the fnhnily welcomed the newspapers' aid. ' Then, a few weeks after the disap pearance, they suddenly became re tic on t, refusing to discuss the case and expressing the opinion that the girl was dead. Jackson's assertion that for many months she has been back with her parents, the publie meanwhile assum ing that she was still missing, created a tremendous sensation. She never recovered from her illness at the Meredith hospital, said Jackson, and it was from its effects that he main tained she is dying now. Her Jewels Missing. A tan fur coat and a black hand bag found by tho polico at the hos pital, or the "house of mystery", as it is beginning to be called were identified by four persons today, ae cording to Jackson, as those of Miss Myrtle Allison, tho girl supposed to have died in the hospital from the effects of an illegal operation a year, ago- But her jewels were missing. Chief of Detectives Clark was in vestigating today the death at the hospital the day after M'.ts Allison was taken there of a Mrs. Davis, one of the patients mentioned by Dr. H. E. Lutz, Meredith's assistant, in his con fession. O. J. Goetz, the undertaker who buried the body, was questioned by tho district attorney and it was thought likely the corpse would bo exhumed for examination. Dr. Meredith's hearing was set for next Tuesday. He was charged with performing an illegal operation on Miss Allison and with the theft of her hnlrtncriiifra Mnrolith Rtid NltrAA TjUCV Orr were out on bail. Arnold Denies It Now York, April 11. Francis Arnold today denied positively the assertion by District Attorney Jackson of Pitts burg that Arnold's daughter Dorothy is dying at his home of an illness with which she was a patient in Dr. CL C. Morodfth's maternity hospital in the Pittsburg suburb of Bellevue some time ago. Arnold reiterated ms belief thait his daughter is dead. Arnold was especially infurated st Jackson's statement that Dorothy was in his own home. "I say he's a liar," he exclaimed passionately. "What he says today isn't what he said yester day and if he's wrong on one thing he's .probably wrong on . more than one." M NOW DYING
