NEW YORK, July o3.-Mrs. Helen w.
Smith came to New York yesterday to
| consult her lawyers in the suit for
| breach of promise brought by young
Russell Griswold.
She was accompanied by robust Will
liam Harper, jr., who tried to shield
her from the reporters who met her
at the train. By. between his arm and
around each side of him she managed
to say:
i've come down to town to see If
there is not some law to stop that little
scamp's nasty work of publishing these
letters. l will prevent him if l can"
Later it was learned that, after con-
ference with her attorneys, it was de-
cided not to try to get out an injunc-
ton to stop the publishing of the letters.
Mr.. Harper is young mechanical en-
gneer, in whom Mrs. Smith became
interested relative to building her a
fleet ocean going motor boat: He plan
ned boat to carry twelve-cylinder
engine and a gyroscope. but builders
said the machinery would be too heavy
for the boat.
He has been making various plans
ever since he took charge of the boat
end of Mrs. Smiths affairs. 1t Is said
that he has suggested a flying machine,
in which guests of the Smith home can
enjoy themselves.
said:
"She must not talk; she has already
talked enough.
And if 1 ever set my hands on GER
tain PERSONS"
Returning to Stamford in the early
afternoon, Mrs Smith boarded her
steam yacht. the Viking, and sailed
away. whittier no one seems to know.
Her attorney said no Injunction to stop
the publishing of the letters would be
sought.
Griswold "Cut Out" by Harper.
Young Griswold, who is suing the SIAM
for millionairess for heart balm, declared
yesterday that he had been ''cut out" by
Harper. Harper, he says, is a handsome.
athletic Brooklyn youth of twenty-eight
years, who was employed three months
ago by Mrs. Smith to build her won
derful sea-going motor boat.
Why" declared Griswold, who gave
out a general interview yesterday after
noon, 1T was awful. l was i'll In the
hospital and Mrs Smith engaged this
fellow to draw up plans for ten-thou-
sand-dollar motor boat.
when l returned she introduced me to
him. l treated him coolly. Every time /
went to her home he was there. Finally
went to Mrs. Smith and / said that l
objected to this man claiming all her at
tentiOn.
II pointed out that the whole town was
gossiping, saying that although we were
engaged she was paying attention to Har-
per. She commanded me not to say a
word against Harrer. Then she drove me
out of the house.
1T is Harper to whom she refers when
she says l spoke slightingly against some
of her friends. She said to me: Don
you dare talk about Mr.. Harper like that
in my presence; he is my friend
"Toyed With Ny Affections"
This woman toyed with me-yes. toyed
| with my affections. l met her when I
was eighteen years old and never went
around with another woman or girl in
my life.
"She wrote me endearing letters, prom
| Used to marry me and kept me all ex-
cited. / never dreamed OF anything else
other than marrying her. Why, l was
even named in her husbands divorce
proceedings"
| AS Griswold finished talking he pro-
duced a large package of letters, and.
| with his lawyer, Jacob Gordon, gave out
a Jew
Here's one l will let you have" he
said. 1T is typical and shows whether
she was in love with me or not
