MISSING WOMAN FOUND NEAR HOME Virginia Girl, Who Left Sick Bed in Delirious Flight, Is Near Death. B the Associated Press. WILLIAMSBURG, Va., April 26— Maud Nesselrodt, 21, who slipped away from her family early yesterday morn- ing, was found this afternoon lying un- conscious in a thicket bordering the woods that surrounded her foster- father’s home. Vincent D. McManus, & SWrveyor,| found the girl. Clothed in red silk pajamas, a purple bathrobe, a red sweater and a discard- ed coat that belonged to her foster- father, the girl was discovered less than a mile from her home near this city. Her hands and face blue with cold, and muddy high-heeled shoes, attested to » delirious flight taken after she had risen from a sick bed to steal away, “to be alone with her thoughts,” her uncle, wl;ng had fathered her since infancy, said. How long she had lain face down- ward in a clump of small bushes was not known. She was removed to her home, where her family and physicians worked feverishly to restore semblance of life. Finally she roused to semi- consciousness to ask for water. Her condition was regarded as grave by Dr. D. J. King. A band of searchers, who had de- spaired of finding the girl, was called back, and following a trail picked up by McManus came upon the inert body of the girl. McManus, who once spent several years among the Sioux Indians, made use of the woodcraft he learned from them in tracing the girl. Two years ago Miss Nesselrodt un- ceremoniously slipped away from her classmates at St. Lawrence University at Canton, N. Y., and for four months eluded police in a baffling hunt through 20 cities in northern United States and Canada, finally returning home of her own volition. Formerly she was a school teacher and at college a poet. Her father, on his_chicken farm today, recalled she had always nurtured a desire to write and had always sought solitude. —_— THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, APRIL 27, 1930—PART ONE.
