ACTRESS QUAILS
AT ARRANGEMENT

The proceedings OF yesterday wit
messed the elimination of hours OF con-

ward display of kindlier and womanly
Instincts, against which the black
gowned figure of the actress lighting for

tion.

those in the courtroom thought he had

on the telephone and made the engage
ment.
Interpretation Of Motive.
What Miss Patterson's motive was in
killing him-except revenge because he
intended to leave her-Mr. Rand did not
point out
On the other hand II was SAID by her
lawyer that as she was dependent on
the bool1maker Tor support. probably the
last thing in the world she would wish
was his death.

income forever.
