Quick at MAKING Love.

In an interview with the young
lady that Hedden pretended that he
was going to marry, she told The
Free Press that she had not known
Hedden before last Monday. He met
her on the street and called her
by name. She did not know him
and told him so, but he was so
well informed about her name, place
of residence, her parents and where
she was employed that she thought
that she had met him somewhere
and lad forgotten him. He claimed
that he had met her six years ago.
All week he paid a great deal of
attention to her and called on her
every night He finally asked her to
marry him and she did not accept.
she said that she had not known
him long enough. He insisted, how
ever, that they at least be engaged
and that she accept an engagement
ring from him. She says that she
did not know that he had bought
the ring until he showed it to her,
and then as it did not fit her he
kept it himself saying that he was
going to take it to Minneapolis
to have the stone reset. When she
learned that the check with which
Hedden had paid for the ring was
void she proceeded to tell him just
what she thought of him and that
she wanted nothing more to do with
him. He then showed her letter
stating that $S75 would be deposit
ed to his account by November 8.
She did not see the ruse, although
the letter had evidently been writ
ten by himself, in the same distinct,
backhand slant that had character
lied the signatures on the checks.
But when Hedden refused to refund
the money on the S. check that was
brought in from the Saulpaugh ho-
tel, and signed with the name of
John Hamly she lost faith again
in her adorer and told him that
she positively would not have any
more to do with him. The young
lady says that she paid the amount
of the check rather than be hui
inflated more than was necessary
before the bank people.
The police attempted to get out
a search warrant today so that the
trunks left at the Craig residence
by the Hedden's could be looked
into.. but no one cared to take the
responsibility of signing a warrant
for such purpose. However. it is
not believed that the trunks con-

concern, but until that time she
could not open an account.

Press to get into communication
via long distance phone with the

to find out whether Hedden was in

could not be reached as it has no

that Mrs. Hedden had been uE

plains how the woman left the

the house from the hallway it is
necessary for one to pass through
two doors. The outside door is
equipped with night lock, which
can be opened from the inside
without a key, but not from the
outside. The inside door has an
ordinary lock, requiring key to
open from both sides. Mrs Craig
fearing that Mrs. Hedden would
attempt to make getaway during
the night. locked this inside door
and hid the key. Mrs. Craig has a
roomer who teaches music in ST.
Peter on Tuesdays and has to arise
about six o'clock in the morning
/ in order to take a train for that
city. Mrs. Craig told this roomer
where the key could be found and
when leaving the house this morn
ing this roomer left the key in the
lock. Mrs. Hedden, not suspecting
that she had been locked in, came
down the stairs quietly and of
course made use of the key and
walked out of the house.
Mrs. Craig had no idea that Mrs
Hedden had left the house and was
much surprised when she found the
woman's room had been vacated
She had thought all the while that
Mrs. Hedden was lying in bed and
did not care to see anyone.
