guilty The jury was out 30 minutes.
The case hingde on the question of
whether Potts committed suicide or

had frequently threatened to commit
suicide apparently outweighad that Of

burial he found bullet hole over the
heart. The authorities were notified
and Miss Ripke was arrested In the
apartments which she had been DC

The conflicting stories which the
girl told after her arrest constituted
the chief element In the chain of cir
cumstantial evidence which was used
by the prosecution. she said Potts
had entered their rooms wounded;
that he had shot himself after re-
firing; that she had heard shot be-
fore his entrance into the rooms, and
several other stories OF conflicting ma.
ture.
In but one particular did she re-
main firm in her stories, which was

tribute to her bewitching beauty. In
manner she is the opposite Of Mrs.
Brown. She is at once impulsive,
summing and lovable. It is said that
Mrs. Verrault actually fell in love
with few of her admirers, but she
held herself in check because to love
was not one of the principles Of the
extraordinary matrimonial syndicate.
All her witcheries and graceful tricks
of manner and speech were put forth
to lead her victims on to their doom.
Youths Helped Along
the Game Of Cupid.
The youths who helped along the
tricks of the love trust were scarcely
out of their teens. Robert Emmet
Keene, who for some time played
small parts in Proctor's stock COM
pany, was the Oldest of the Group.
He was quick to see the opportunity
offered by the matrimonial enterprise
when first he was introduced into the
household. Promptly giving up his
stage career, he entered into the at
fairs of the syndicate with all the
fervor of his ardent spirit.
In his position as butler many
generous tip came Keene's way. The
enraptured suitors of Mrs. Brown and
Mrs. Verrault regarded him as the
court jester. Gregory Allen, who was
an amateur sculptor. became asso-

would have three men week calling
upon them. II Mrs. Brown had .
suiter who seemed to be particularly
recalcitrant about buying extravagant
presents, Mrs. Verrault, who was al
ways able to corral the most obstrep-
erous caller, would be called In to
use her persuasive influence.
Mrs. Verrault used to go out often
er than Mrs. Brown with the infat-
uated lovers. She would always wear
a heavy veil and would tell her spell
bound admirer that she did it to keep
her wicked brothers from seeing her.
These relatives, she said, were always
trying to make trouble for her. They
were scheming to get part Of the es-
tate left her by the rich husband she
said had died. Often when out with
one suitor dining at . fashionable
cafe she would be startled to find
another sweetheart sitting idly at a
nearby table. She would then hurry
the dinner through on pretense of
feeling faint and would hasten home
with her escort.
