( While she attended our high school, Lois was considered very silly, boy crazy, and overly mature physically. She was dishonest and unreliable. Her excuses for absences were. usually quite fantastic, It was rumored around the school that she indulged in liquor and drugs so that we were not sorry when she left school, According to the Parole Report of Agent J.P. Gleason, dated January 2, 192, at New York City, the subject advised that during the period February, 1938 to February, 1939, she carried on an affair with a married attorney of Niagara Falls, New York. In January, 1939 she was hospitalized in Saginaw, Michigan and received medical treatment for complications resulting from an abortion. In February, 1939 she married one Carl Bose in Indiana, whom she claims to have left after three weeks, obtaining a divorce in September, 1939. ‘_ Upon interview, subject stated that following her divorce in fb 1939, she renewed relations with the attorney in Niagara Falls and became pregnant around December, 1939. It appears from Lauckner's / statement that the attorney was fearful of his reputation, and that he / | / ‘ paid her $10,000 on condition that she would never see him agains ‘The / | | subject states that she accepted the $10,000 and went to Detroit, Michigan, where she gave birth to a daughter in a private hospital on August 28, | 1940, and thereafter arranged through the attending physician for the child's adoption.s | While in roit, Michigan the subject states she met an attorney | by the name of¥fVince."

Nes ° hotel where subject was living concluded that she was possibly a call girl because of her drinking activities and the number of men who visited her rooms: She was described by some of the tenants in the building as a girl who used foul language and who was constantly endeavoring to interest men in her, Investigation at a number of bars and grilles fre= quented by Lauckner indicated that she was a general nuisance, a terrible liar, and a thorough tramp. | She was also described as being noisy and objectionable after drinking and it appears from the number of different stories which she told that she was an invet- erate and consummate liar, It is reported that of this period "she tells fantastic stories of being wined and dined in 'cafe society,!' of meeting an elite crowd that knew gay times. According to her account, life was a series of cocktail parties, penthouse gatherings, and men waiting to serve her pleasure. *#+* In order to give herself notoriety, aa she identified herself with the German seasraider in the last war, , Count Von Lauckner, claiming to be his cousine (All connection with the Count has been disqualified by subject's sister who maintains thatthis was but another of subject's lies in order to gain publicity.)" Subject claimed that from "Vince" she learned sufficient legal 4. "jargon to enable her to talk-in a lawyer's vernacular, She used ‘ various aliases during this period, and under the name of Carol Hille began representing herself to be an attorney in the Lands Division of the Department of Justice.

Sinai Hospital in New York for a period of eight days.

She was convicted in the Southern District of New York, on three counts of impersonating a Federal officer and was sentenced by Judge Grover Me Moscowitz, on October 30, 1941, to be imprisoned for-one year and a day in the Federal Reformatory for Women, at Alderson, West Virginia, and . to be placed on probation thereafter for a period of three yearse ; Docld: 32336433 Page 4
