40 YEAR MYSTERY MAY BE SOLVED Missing Archuke Johann May Have Died in New York New York, Feb. 23 P—A 40-year | mystery surrounding the disappear- ance of Archduke Johann of Austria was believed on the verge of solution here today In possible identification of the missing nobleman as John Orth, who died here in 1924, Orth, shortly before his death, told Mrs. Charlotte Fairchild of this city, that he had sent a letter to th vatican at Rome, containing an au- thoritative account of the unexplain- | ed fatal shooting of Crown Princs Rudolph of Austria at the royal shooting box at Meyerling. The letter was not to be open: he sald, until February day he had previously meeting with Mrs. I'a three unidentifled men. Mrs. Fairchild said she believed that private papers and photographs from England, expected with t} letter, would reveal Orth as Arc duke Johann. Comparison of pictures of photographs of a mole on his rig arm and samples of his writing which she holds, Wi photographs and papers from d, was be- lisved by Mrs. Fairchild to suj this belief. The archduke was clared dead in 1911, 000 estates were sold. Arch hann, a second cousin I Franz Joseph, abandoned his t 1889 and adopted the na hann Orth after a dispute ¥ emperor. He married a Viennese singer, and sailed with Austria in 1890 on his y South America.

Others poi out that the archduke would been 73 years old in 1924, a Orth had given his age to I authorities as 64. William W, Priestly, with the disposal of Orth's estat said the history of the man for his last eight or 10 years fails to con- nect him with nobility.
