Versailles, !'*■<• 11. A profound
ya t.ration has been caused by the
news that a body of a young woman
17 und in the depths of the forest of
I entnin Bleu, two days ago, lias
In on identified as that of Gabriel
rude, the dinnghter of a distinguish
o-t retired surgeon, who resided
here.
The girl disappeared two months
into under mysterious circumstances.
■'lK~left. home Oct. 10 on a visit to
tor uncle at St. Quentin. The same
"night, her parents and her uncle
received telegrams filed at Paris,
raying that she had missed the
train for St. Quentin and would re-
main fov the night in Paris. Since
H at. date nothing had been heard o'.'
her. ,
Postal officials said the telegrams
v ere banded in by a man and the
police at first, concluded it was a
case of elopement Relatives of the
girl, however, utterly scouted this,
saying she was of a reserved and
s- rious character.
Further evidence (hat it was
Mile. Rude's intention to go to St/.
Client In is supplied by the fact that
a railroad ticket for that city Was
found on the body. Members pf
the family believed she was the vic-
tim of hallucinations, hut how and
v Here stie spent the Intervening
period In view of the fact thut she
had only twenty francs when s|te
lelt home, is a mystery.
