Detective Lieutenant silv ,

lish authorities, w ho had bei n re
quested to interview Dr Smith.
The name of Wesh y lia hi- . , well
known in Mount Vernon - nl circle;
was brought into tie t > ■ yesterday
tiirough a remark made by the miss
ing girl and n' tilled 'erday. Mis
Snodgrass was an inliniaie friend oi
young Hawkins three years ago, and
even became engaged o bin Tie
engagement was broken, he'ti you.',
people and tin ir families agret ing that
it was best.
Tbrce weeks ago Miss Snodgrass ii
some excitement came in from at
evening service at tie First P- • shy
terian Church, at wliieii slm . .-. a p
ular attendant, and -aid to - i ;
ter:
"Guess who 1 saw at chuieh to
night! Wesley Hawkin- 1 I liadn'i - j
him for three yt -i.-. II . Il<l |
old times.”
Wesley Hawkins last irgi.i, at he
home, No. 39 North Ninth - - t ,
not recall the incident.
“I have not seen any of - : - so g- ( - a
for three years,” he said I'd Ii!
to be able to help locate Miss Sued
grass, but really I haven't tin slight
est idea what lias la conn of In r I
knew Dr. Smith slightly."
Miss Snodgrass and Dr. Smith i.un
to the hospital within a lew weeks of
each other, and Miss Snodgrass h ft
home the day la fore the doctor sailed
for Europe. Although Mrs. Crider and
her husband do not attach any si.
nificance to ttiis. Miss Virginia Sited
Ii. ." i
grass, nt the family home In Mar
titisburg, W. Va., assorted positively
that Pereas had been engaged to Dr.
Smith.
This completes a list of three men
to whom the (manning young nurse
at one time or another promised her
hand Wesley Hawkins, Dr. Smith
and her prevent fiance, Frederick
I dear Schmidt.
“After Dorcas' engagement to Or'
Smith wit: broken," said Miss Virginia
Snodgrass, "il was our belief that sh<
id ceased to care for him and hud
round u new and greater huppim-ru in
the prospect of marrying Mr. Schmidt.
We all believe hen that Dorcas is
nentailv and physically sound. Talk
about the possibility of her being a
.i- tim ot aphasia is utter rubbish. 1
have just returmai itom tlie home of
my sister, Mrs. (.'rider. I left there
last Monday."
At the hospital yesterday it was
learned from an attache that Dr.
.Smith when he h it slated that his re
turn next fall was “problematical"
Dr. Sibil h is described .as being a man
of medium height, dark, smooth faced
md cxei edingly suave. I ,'e is a skill
■d surgeon, and last winter perform
'd several difficult operations.
Mr. and Mrs. ( rider, with their fam
ily. intend moving shortly to Oakland.
Cal.
I should he greatly relieved it it
discovered that Dorcas lias eloped
v.ith ih'. Smith or anybody else," sain
Me. i 'rhhT. I should even be reliev
ed in liml that she is dead, for there
are worse fates than death. 1 do not
believe Virginia could have been cor
rectly quoted in Martinsburg, for 1
know 11 in t Dorcas never was engaged
to Dr. Smith. It is not true, either, as
rumored, that Dorcas was about to
ah Mr. Schmidt."
