weighed about 170 pounds. Inquiry by the
police developed the fact that the woman
was seen on the streets yesterday , and she
was traced to several places In the city
where she applied for work as a domestic.
The husband and friends have been making
every effort to find her and will be here
today for the purpose of making a system
atic search for her. The woman's mind Is
nhattereil and as she Is well appearing It
Is feared that she may fall Into bad hands.
