LEFT AUNTS HOTEL
TO GO WITH MAN
The girls aunt. who runs the no.
tel. searching Mary's room. found
messages which vaguely hinted at
her going away. Whether these
notes referred to suicide or TO plans
for an elopement with Thompson
could not be determined.
Thompson. rich and with nothing
20 do. met the girl this spring when
he moved from Washington TO Mary
land. He often spoke TO his friends
about Mary. telling them OF plans to
educate her.
The girl apparently returned his
affections. But her relatives object
ed TO Thompson because of the dis
parity in his age and Mary's and
also because Thompson was married.
His wife some years ago obtained a
legal separation from him and now
lives in France with their f1.year-o old
child. according to information here.
Thompson and the girl continued
to meet. however. in spite OF objec-
tons. Last week the girls relatives
told Thompson TO stay away. When
he and Mary disappeared. her rela-
uves notified Maryland authorities
and Washington police to apprehend
Thompson on a charge Of abduction.
The two apparently went to the
lonely spot in the woods where their
bodies were found and killed them
selves. Police believe they agreed
TO die together because of their hope
less romance.
Thompson was son OF DIR. ].

Washington surgeon.
