Missing Man (Continued from Page One) It is Mrs. Ertelthaler‘s belief that her husband's body may be weighted down with rocks. which would ac- count for the body's not rising to the surface after the proverbial three dam The Ertelthalers. it was yesterday learned. were particularly intimate with a Mrs. Margaret Hardman. of 1038 Third Avenue. New York City. Ertelthaler. himself. it was said. was .on very good terms with Mrs. Hard- man. This fact thrusts some discredit on Mrs. Ertelthaler's story to The "Sea- tinel." printed on April 27. that her husband knew no one in New York to whom he might go. It was also learned. upon questioning the wife yesterday. that Ertelthaler was a mo- tion picture actor for some time be- fore his marriage. He was employ- ed by the Fox Film Company. at Fifty-fifth Street and Tenth Avenue. New York City. and at the time of his disappearance he still numbered among his friends a group of “ex- tras" and others now employed in New York motion picture studios. Slightly differing from the first de- 'scription given by Mrs. Ertelthsler of her husband at the time of his dis- appearance. the police announced yesterday that the following card had been sent out to police organisations throughout the country: “MISSING FROM HOME.
