MYSTERY SURROUNDING DISAPPEARANCE OF GIRL IS SOLVED

The mystery surrounding the disappearance of Mrs. J. A. D'Orsay, who was married last week has been solved and all is well. Mrs. D'Orsay with her father, is now in Kaufman. Likewise D'Orsay is there and so is the driver of the mysterious car who disappeared with the bride. No offense has been committed by anyone and what looked like a mysterious case has now been solved to the satisfaction of the officers.

Mrs. W. A. Williams, mother of the bride, together with her son, who arrived in the city from Arkansas, left this morning for Kaufman where the parental forgiveness will be bestowed.

Before leaving Mrs. Williams stated that so far as she was concerned she was satisfied for her daughter to be married to Mr. D'Orsay.

The mystery surrounding the entire case was due to the fact that D'Orsay feared the parents would have him arrested. He arranged with the car driver to take her on to Texarkana where he was to meet her later. His tangled account of the affair given to officers at Terrell led them t believe that something was wrong, hence he was detained in Terrell.

Thursday Sheriff Rutledge went to Texarkana where he found Mr. Williams, his daughter and the car driver. All returned to Kaufman to straighten the matter out. Had D'Orsay told the story as it really happened to the Terrell officers there would have been no misunderstanding.

Sheriff Gentry said today he was satisfied with the solution of the case and was sure that everything would turn out all right.
