The woman explained at the time that they had felt sorry for Ramona because of the dull life she had led, and. interesting themselves in her welfare, had planned to make her life a happier one. Her father and mother had sepa- . rated some months before the girl's j disappearance, and she was placed in a private sanitarium in Pompton Lake, N. J.
