Fannie Curland."
The mystery has been deepened
rather than cleared by the conflicting
stories of all those arrested.
But through them all runs the adj
mission that the three women loved
Garfield with a surmOunting affec-
ton which cast every other consid-
Grafton aside. Miss Curland had
fallen under his strange spell seven
years ago-when she was but 16.
The other woman who would die
for him" has known him for five
years, she says. His girl wife he
married in Oakland, Cal, several
months ago. It was the announce
ment to the other two of this mar
rage that precipitated the tragedy.
During the seven years she asso-
ciated with Garfield, Miss Curland's
father tried repeatedly to wean her
away from him. But under the mys-
FERROUS power her lover exercised the
old mans appeals were stOnily disre-
garded, his prophesies of evil unheed-
ed. The brothers pleas were equally
unaVailing.

ago." said Harry Curland, the dead
girls brother. "That was the begin

by him when only 16 years old. We

he told me he had married another

thought my life was ruined. But I
told him the only thing to do was to
keep straight, and that he must now
give me up; that he would always
find me his best friend.
''Then he came to me that night
in a wild frenzy, saying that Fannie
had killed herself in his house at
Riverside.
"He had gone there-the poor boy
after he had married to try to
break off the drug habit. He was
winning too-and would probably
have come out all right had it not
