| THINKS MAS. L. JONES MAY Bt IN oT, LOU Husband Receives Mysterious Tele-| gram Signed with Friend’s Name Re-) questing That $1,000 Be Sent by Wire and an Automobile Forwarded by Express. Both Robert 1. Cutting and Herman Leroy Jones are much mystified to-day by a despatch which the former has Just recelved from St. Louls, and which seems to indicate that Frank E, Mc- Govern, a friend of both Mr. and Mrs. Jones, has got some track of the latter. The despatch is as follows: H, Leroy Jones, care of Robert L, Cut- ting, New York City: Please traasfer by wire $1,000 immedi. | at etely. Forward automobile by expres: M'GOVERN. ‘The only McGovern in St, Lous at the dresent time that Messrs, Cutting and Jones know fs Frank BE.

As soon as Mr. Cutting got the tele- Brain Ve went to the Manuatrra Clad and telephoned to McGovern's office in tls city, explaining the message he had received. He got word back that the telegram was probably a forgery. as Mr, McGovern wotild not need to wits New York for $1,000, and would hardly send for an antomob!le when he is expected back here in a few da “TI can only await developments in the matter,” sald Mr. Cutting, “and I ought to’ hear frome McGovern again, as I have wired him fer a fuller explanation. If the message !s genuine, I cannot un- derstand the reference to an automobile, unless, perhaps, McGovern thought th tdegraph might leak and the newspa- pers get hold of his despatch. He might then have referred to an autdmobdile in rder to throw people off the track. A queer thing about it all is fhat the tele- }#ram came collect. That doesn't seem all lke McGovern." The ening World correspondent fn St. Louis telegraphed late this after- Aoonsthat Mr, McGovern had left that clty for New York and wouid probably arrive here to-morrow Yesterday Mr. Cutting said that he ‘on to believe that Mrs, Jones .

Asked if there was any trath in a re- port that a reward would be offered for information as to the whereabouts of Mrs. Jones he said: No reward will be offered. At one time we thought of offering one, but we have good reason for belleving that such a step is unnecessary. I have no trace of Mrs. Jones at present, but we are working on several clues.
