to police headouarters it was neces- sary to have him dress beneath the. skirts in a pair of trousers.
 From papers found in his room af- ter his arrest it would appear that he has alternately acted as a man and a woman since 1899 when he came from France. He has been employed by many vaudeville agencies under the contract name of Lena, and has evil dentIy impersonated female charae- ters.
 It appears that he has been mar ried to Miss OdeH the daughter of some prominent man in Connecticut. for he was written a series of let lters in 1913, which he replied to, keeping copies Tn these letters it sons she told her father and which may lead the police to have him ex- anined by pathoIogfsts
 That he was happily parted from ] his wife In 1912 Is seen from a letter ISwriften him by his wife in Middle Nov. 4, 1912. The father -in-1aw of 1.-the prisoner is named E. C.. Oden.
 From the effects found in PoIs Trunk, it is shown that he had full complenent of wonen's attire. hum dreds of feminine pieces being found Hoy the police.

 times other women shared the room
 with him and never suspected his
 sex.
 So perfectly was he made up that he daily passed upon the streets of
 Bridgeport without anyone suspecting

His clothing was of the finest, white silk shirt-waists, lingerie tailored broadc1oth suits and even fan ;. cy light ball dresses were in abund- ance on hooks and the trunks of hi
