GRADUATE OF LOCAL
HIGH MISSING AT SPOKANE
Virginia Persons, niece of Mrs. Verdie White, primary
teacher in the Grangeville schools, and a graduate of the local high school
three years ago, was reported missing from her quarters at the Deaconess
hospital in Spokane, late Monday night last week.
About 10 p.m. a line inspector of the S.U.R reported to
police that he had seen a woman floating in the water just
? Spokane ?????? (unreadable line)
Be seen for 100 yards or so below the falls.
Two hours later the hospital supervisor called detectives to report that
the young student nurse was missing.
Detectives were told that Miss Persons left a note for her
sister, asking her to destroy a diary, that she had an important appointment,
and for her sister to take care of her clothes.
Police believe that the young nurse committed suicide,
although no good and sufficient reason therefore has been found to date.
At this time no further trace of the missing girl has been found.
