A dramatic story behind the mys terious disappearance of Miss Lynette Awtrey, 18-year-old daughter of wealthy Orlando Awtrey, one of the leading citizens of Acworth, Ga., and member of one of Cobb County’s most prominent families, who, after a tour of Europe, boarded a train in New* York for Atlanta and then van ished as utterly as though she had left the earth, is expected to be bared this week when the girl arrives home from Ogden, Utah, where she has been located. Miss Awtrey has been missing for nearly two weeks. Becoming home sick during her European trip, she re turned to New York and wired her father to send her money to come home. Mr. Awtrey wired her $200 and the same da'y ‘ received a telegram asking him to meet her in Atlanta. Her trunk came on the train on which she was supposed to come, but there was no trace of the girl. Since then her family has exhausted every means to locate the missing girl. The aid of the William J. Burns De tective Agency was enlisted and the operatives of the famous sleuth scoured the cities of the United States; the aid of police departments all over the country was invoked— but with no result. For all the de tectives were able to ascertain to the contrary the girl had dissolved into thin air. After she boarded the train in New York absolutely no trace could be found of her. Sends Mysterious Telegram. With constant reports of failure be ing filed by America’s most noted ileuths, Mr. Awtrey redoubled his ef forts to And his missing daughter, ^fore appeals were made to police de partments, private detective agencies vere enlisted in the search, and pho nographs of the young girl were sent >ut secretly by the Burns men in the Ihope that someone could be found [who had seen her. Sunday morning Miss Awtrey broke her silence of two weeks with a tele gram from Ogden that intensified the mystery* It contained no explanation of her disappearance. The telegram was a piteous appeal for .aid—a cry that she was alone and penniless in a strange land. 'Please help me,” the telegram said. "I have no money. I am sorry I left home, but can not explain now. 3 will tell you about it when I get home.” The message was signed “Lynette,” with no address in Ogden save the Western Union. Mr. Awtrey imme diately wired his daughter money and a ticket to Acworth by wrfy of the Union Pacific. It is probable that either he or one of tne girl’s broth ers will meet her at Nashville or Chattanooga. The disappearance of Miss Awtrey is almost identical with the case of Dorothy Arnold, the missing New York heiress, who still is being sought by detectives after a disappearance of more than a year, and has stirred and perplexed Cobb County more than any mystery of recent years. Comes From Leading Family. The fact that the girl comes from one of the leading families of North Georgia makes the interest in the mystery all the greater. Her father Is president of the Acworth Cotton Mills Manufacturing Company of Ac- worth, and is interested largely in the | commercial life of the town. She is a niece of Mrs. D. F. McClatchy, wife of the reading clerk of the Georgia [House of Representatves, and a niece [of John Awtrey. a prominent attorney >f Marietta, and of Bernard Awtrey, idltor of The Marietta News. She is Iso related to Mrs. R. M. Moon and number of other prominent Mariet ta and Cobb County people. Miss Awtrey is prominent in Ac- Contmued on Pago 3, Column 5. TO U. S. McLoughlin’s Brilliant Play Re turns Trophy to United States After Ten Years. Special Cable to The Georaian. WIMBLEDON. ENGLAND, July 28. The Davis trophy, the most sought- for cup in the tennis world, which has been away from the United States since 1903, will come back to America. The United States team, after beat ing the Australian? in the preliminary games in New York last June and working their way up to the chal lenge round by defeating the German and Canadian teams in England, to day won the trophy for the United States by defeating the English de fenders. Maurice E. McLoughlin. the young Californian, brought victory to his country by defeating C. P. Dixon in three straight sets in the single match to-day. Although his service was faulty at the beginning of the match to-day, McLoughlin soon got into his stride. Last Two Sets Easy. He won the first set after a hard- fought set-to, the score being 8-6. From then on the issue was never in doubt, the American proving him self the blaster of the Englishman at all stages of the second and third sets, winning the former 6-3 and the latter 6-2. The match for the trophy began on Friday, when McLoughlin was defeat ed by J. C. Parke, the Iri?h champion. R. Norris Williams, of Philadelphia, evened up matters when he defeated Dixon In the other single match that day. Gets Back to Form. Saturday the Americans jumped into the foreground, when McLough lin and Harold H. Hacket, the double team, defeated Dixon and H. Roper Barrett. McLoughlin’s play, which was a lit tle off color on Friday’, was much im proved Saturday and to-day. His in dividual skill did much to bring the cup back to America. In the semi-final game between Parks and Williams, the Englishman won after a hard match of five sets. The score; 6-2, 5-7, 5-7, 6-4, 6-2. This defeat did not have any bearing on the general result. Dallas Girl Typist Slain at Her Desk DALLAS. TEX., July 28.—Miss Florence T. Brown, a stenographer, was murdered to-day as she sat at her desk.

Medcalf. 136 Kirk wood avenue, circulation de partment of The Atlanta Jour nal. C. J. Bosshardt, pressman, employed by Foote & Davies, 216 Bryan street. Events on the opening day of the trial of Leo M. Frank, ac- | eused of the slaying of Mary Phagan in the National Pencil Fac tory, moved with sueh unexpected swiftness that it was apparent that the trial proper would be under way and the first witnesses called before the close of the first day’s session. The jury had been completed by the time recess was taken at 1 :30. After a few preliminary clashes between the opposing at torneys which presaged a bjtter struggle when the fight for Frank’s life actually was begun, the court settled down to the se lection of the jury. The whole morning session up to the recess was occupied with the examina tion of veniremen. All the force of attorneys at the table for the defense watched with J\een eyes every man examined and frequently referred to a voluminous rcord containing the names of all the veniremen and detailed statements of their history and associations so far as these might have a bearing on their desirability as Jurors to pass on Leo Frank's guilt or innocence. The keenest interest was manifest ed by’ those In the crowded little courtroom as the strategies 9r.f the brilliant law’yers were revealed dur ing the examination. State Had Veniremen’s Records. The thoroughness with which the Solicitor and his assistants had can vassed the history of every venire man and had investigated whefher or not he had ever expressed an opin ion on the guilt or innocence of the accused was demonstrated when W. W. Hemmett, a salesman for the Kingsbury Shoe Company, was being examined as to his qualifications. "Have you ever said you thought Frank was guilty?” Mr. Dorsey in quired. "No, I never have.” replied Hem mett. Here the Solicitor referred to some notes at hand and proceeded to call to Hemmett's recollection a certain talk he had with acquaintances at a certain time. Hemmett was forced to admit that he had talked of the case at that time, but declared that he ha-d not expressed a definite opin ion. "I only said 1 would have to hear some evidence before 1 would believe Frank was guilty," he told Judge Roan. He was rejected for cause. Defense Equally Alert. The defense showed that It was ex actly as vigilant when the next ve nireman was examined. As soon a* A. L. Bellingrath, of No. .91 Milledge avenue, arose from his seat, Attor ney Arnold was on his feet prepared to state the objection of the defense. He pointed out that Bellingrath was the brother of Henry Beiuiigrath w ho has been employed in the Solicitor’s office during the Phagan investiga tion and that he was reported to have expressed an opinion on the guilt of Frank. A shrewd bit of strategy was used by Solicitor Dorsey and Attorney Hooper in accepting the two negroes whose names were among the venire men. By doing this they forced the de fense to use up tw’o of their twenty challenges if they did not desire to have negroes on the jury. With Jim Conley, a negro, likely to be indicted for the murder in the event that Frank is cleared, the defense had no intention of allowing them to pass on Frank's guilt and promptly struck them. The two negroes were Earl Davis and E. E. Hawkins. Defense Loses First Clash. The attorneys for Leo M. Frank lost out in their first skirmish with the prosecution, being cQmpei^d to read Jackson Will Tell Juvenile Trustees Of Charges by Girl The Rev. Crawford Jackson, secre tary of the Juvenile Protective Asso ciation. w’ho is charged with making improper advances to his young typ ist. has called a meeting of the trus tees of the association to lay the case before them.
