forced TO leave home.
"She didn't seem TO have much money
and frequently borrowed change for car

dressed well. Her conduct was good. She
was always in the house early. Brooks
called OF her a number Of times. She also
received a number OF calls from a young
man whose first name is Harry. He took
her to the Old Guard ball. We thought
II was a close race between Harry and
Brooks as TO which should get the girl,
and We were very much interested IL the
matter, as she wa such a pretty girl.
Just before she left the house on rep,
4 she told us she had had a quarrel with
Brooks and had thrown him over.
when she left we found in her room
a telegram from Harry and a letter from
another man who upbraided her for not
keeping an appointment with Manager Riley
OF the 'Florodora' company. The writer
said II she had kept the appointment she
surely would have got a place in the double
sextet."
Mrs. Birdsall also said she had understood
that Brooks was a companion Of Walter
Ian german, who was falsely accused by
Barbara Aub, and that the two had lived
together In a fiat In West Sixty-eighth
street, between Columbus avenue and
Central Park West.
