would not state whether he was there
to save the family from annoyance by
the public or for some other reason. All
the officials connected with the case
maintained the secrecy that has marked
the affair from the beginning.

admiral. who has been reported III since
the death of her husband, was said to-
day to be much better. she is expected
to be able to attend the inquest With
her were her two daughters by a former
marriage, Mrs. Ralph Keyes and Miss
Dorothy Ainsworth. who were present
at the Preliminary hearing at bingham,
yesterday. and Mrs Harrison, Mrs. la
