 According to the papers in the case, young Field met Mrs. Gu1lette through an introduction by Patsy De Forest, another pretty show girl, early in the summer. of last year. It was not long after that, according to the complaint and accompanying af1davits, that young Field seemed to have the wife of the film manufacturer completely in his power. Mrs. Gu4lette disap- peared from her home in West 111th street and it was not for a long time that her husband learned where she and their child had gone.
 A number of love letters and tele- grams from Leonard J. Field to young Mrs. Gullette were attached to the complaint on file.
