WOUNDED WOMAN
Is MRS. J. G. LEDUC
Third Victim Of Philadelphia
Tragedy Wife Of a Chicago
Business Man.
PROBABLY WILL RECOVER

Philadelphia, Sept. 2S.-Hurrying to
the bedside of his wife, the one sur
vivor in the triple shooting in a hotel
here early yesterday, J. c. Leduc of
Chicago today said that he had every
confidence in her loyalty to him and
that he would stick to her through her
trouble.
Mrs. Leduc is in Jefferson hospital
She was improved today and ply
sicians expect her to recover. She was
shot by Mrs. Harry Belber of New
York, who found her and J. c. GRAY
eur, also of New York, in a hotel
room. Mrs. Belzer killed Graveur,
who had discarded her after friend
ship OF two years and also ended her
own life. There was an affecting
meeting when Leduc reached the bed
side of his wife, where he remained
for some time.
Before reaching the hospital Leduc
told of his happy married life for four
years and his implicit trust in his wife.
He repeated many times his belief in
her faithfulness to him.
At the hospital Leduc told his wife
to cheer UP and that he would for
give her and take her back to Chi
cago.
Mrs. Leduc's Story.
Mrs. Leduc told the story of the
shooting and events leading up to it
to her husband in the presence OF de-
tectives. She said she came to Phila-
delphia by train and not by automo-
bile, as reported to her nephew. She
denied that she had travelled to
various cities with Graveur and sug-
gested that her identity had been con-
fused with that Of Mrs. Belzer.
The wounded woman said Graveur
told her he had come to Philadelphia
with Mrs. Belzer and then persuaded
her to go back to New York. Mrs.
Leduc said she and Graveur went to
a theater, then supper and to dance
on the roof garden of the hotel. She
said she did not want to be encum-
bered with her hand bag, and at GRAY
eur's suggestion, she left it in his
room on the floor below. Mrs. Leduc
further said she intended returning
to New York that night and after the
dance she went with Graveur to his
room for the sole purpose of getting
the hand bag. As they returned,
Mrs. Leduc said, Mrs. Belzer, who
Graveur thought he had induced to
return to New York, jumped from a
closet and began shooting.
