Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, September 13.—After two days’ search police today are still without a clue to the whereabouts of Mrs. Minerva H. Gorman, wealthy widow of Peter C. Gorman, a brother of the late Senator Arthur P. Gor- man, who has not been seen since she left her home at Glendale, Prince George's County, last Friday. Fear is expressed by relatives that the woman was a victim of bandits. She disappeared mysteriously in Balti- more while carrying what is believed to have been a large sum of money and valuable jewels. Police have trailed the woman's movements after she left home until she arrived here without finding a clue which will lead to her where- abouts. Officials sald Mrs. Gorman motored to Bowie last Friday morning, where she made a deposit in a bank. From there she went to Hillmeade. Leaving her auto at the Washing- ton, Baltimore and Annapolis station there, the woman boarded an interbur- ban train for Baltimore. Trainmen recalled seeing her leave the train at the station here. Some significance was attached to the fact she left the key to her auto in the car when she boarded the in- terurban.
