Much Discussed
But the news of the woman's dio-

since there has been little also talked
about in what. before the strange
affair. had been a quiet and peaceful
little town.
Just where Miss Barker has gone
few in town seem to know. First
Selectman Johnson professed last
night that he had not been taken into
confidence in the affair. and similar
profession was made by others prem-
inent here. That Miss Hatch knows
where Miss Barker has gone is taken
for granted: but Miss Hitch is doing
no talking on the matter. That Coun-
ty Detective Anthony Tomnnio knows
where Miss orkor has gone is also
talton for nted; but neither is he
