The Times reports the mystery of Caroline Monteverde, the pretty apple girl, is resolved as she is found in a convent near Glen Riddle after a long search. Father Isoleri of the Italian church aids discovery, with the mother traveling from Philadelphia to see her daughter. The case drew press attention and police inquiry.
A Philadelphia reporter chronicles the return of Caroline, a runaway girl, to her mother after sheltering at the Sisters of St. Francis convent. Caroline explains she fled after tiring of selling apples, describes a night ride by car and trains, and is welcomed back with forgiveness as her mother weeps and the family is reunited at the depot.
