QUEER. is the claim of Miss Clay i'm her
suit. She says in it: Said defendant

according to Miss Clay's statement
IT. The office of her attorney, she was in
reduced to Holters while on a bust
ness trip to Paris. About a year ago,
si.e said, the acquaintance was renew
60. when they met after she went to
Columbus, Ohio, to study music. She
sid that she had not returned to her
home in this city since then.
n her suit she said that she had ac-
oepted Holters' attentions as genuine
and that he had paid many visits to
her while she was living in a fiat on
South High street, in Columbus. She
saws in her suit that Hooters first
promised to marry her while visiting
her at that address last March.
