NERVOUS PATIENT ESCAPES NURSES

Miss Bloodgood Jumps From a Window and Dissappears. BLOODHOUNDS USED ON TRAIL ' ' -V . ■■< ; ' • i Detectives and Police Pass Day Following Missing Clews—Parents Absent at Time —Large Reward Has Been Offered. Lakewood, N. J„ March 11.—Bloodhounds and private detectives, as well as the entire police force of this place, have passed the entire day following clews of the missing Helen Bloodgood, who eluded her nurses Wednesday and jumping from the second story of her home, disappeared, and has since not been heard of. William Bloodgood, her father, rented the house of Leslie R. Fort, son of Gov. Fort, for the spring months, and the family established themselves there. Several night nurses were engaged to take care of Miss Blood good, ♦and they had been constant in their attention to her.

Mr. and Mrs. Bloodgood recently went to New York, leaving several friends of the family, as well as the nurses, in care of the home and the young woman. Miss Bloodgood, about 6 o’clock in the morning, overpowered her attendant, and jumped from the second story window, clad only in her night dress and slippers and before an alarm could be given disappeared. Bloodhounds tracked the girl to a railroad station, but there all trace was lost. A large reward has been offered by her father and mother for any information or the return of the missing daughter.
