Now that her husband has left her and denied the legality of their marriage, even as- serting that she Is several years past her admitted age, the actress said that she had time to realize 'the horror of 1t all' and would never let up until drive him to the electric chair"
 Miss Gala, as she prefers to be call ed, closed the interview with the state- ment that she had already told her story to the authorities of New Hamp- shire and to her attorney here, by both of whom she had been forbidden to talk about the matter
 Miss Calla, who in private life is Mrs. Paul E. Roy, came here several days ago, and has since made her home with her cousin, George E. Hodgson, a dealer in automobile supplies. A few days before her husband sailed for France she called at his apartments, but he was not in. She did not see him at any time here and had not lived with him, she said, since the death of her brother, George A. Carkins, on January 2. She. engaged counsel in this city and secured a warrant for the ar rest of her husband, the warrant later being sent to Rome. The statement by her husband cabled from Paris to-day in which Roy asserts that his brother in-law was killed in self defense, led Miss Calla to give her version of the tragedy I'll tell you the whole story" said the actress, T met my husband in Paris, where his father is a large dealer in horses.

 What, large picture hat so that you'll make conquest?" said MT. Roy.
 We then had some words glanced st my brother and he glanced back at me. He slightly nodded his head. I knew he wanted me to leave the room, so stepped into the buffers pantry.

 "Peachy is my pet name"
 l" Paul I said. Paul, Paul, you've killed Sonny
 'I received no answer and ran from the home to my mothers house. I saw light in her window. Just as I was about to climb the porch steps, I was seized from behind. Turning, saw it was my husband. l was breathless after long run over shrubs and across a bridge ana up the steep hill on which my mothers house is situ ated and could not tell him to leave me as I wished to do. He said Don't say anything. I did It in self-defense. For Gods sake don't say anything
