At his ONCE and ~ his home. Il 10 b..
lisvsd that the remark was only an
echo OF . statement to the girl In Q
previous conversation.
The physiodans' failure to determine
the poison that the girl took has les
sened her chances for recovery con.
siderably. In . careful search Of the
apartment which Wa continued to-
day neither vial nor containsr Of any
kind waS found. And the fact that
she has been continuously uneonssiUus
since the police broke into the spart-
mont and found her dying has sAAsd
70 the difficulty In the nght TO savo
her life.

In Budapest She earned her living
In this country by teaching the piano,
and was said to have had . large and
exclusive clientele.
She nsver spoke to anyone In the house,
except In the necessary routine Of oseu-
plying her apartment She went out
very little. and had no SRI friends or
callers. With the exception OF Mr.
GARDENERS visits she almost lived the
life Of q rscluse.
But In her little four-room ana rtmsnt
she had everything to satisfy q young
woman OF refinement. The furniture
was Of the best. The piano was Uttered
with the finest OF music: good books,
well bound. and expensive brdc-a-brsc
was all about. And In her purse and
on her dressing table was found nifty
dollars In cash and jewelry OF consid-
cradle value. ore diamond alone being
Of least four Aarats.
