motive OF the killing.
Information Varies.
This information was at variance
with both the salutation OF the
mother darling" letter and the con-
tents OF another. a former nurse in
the Hanan household, OF which Mrs.
Lawes had also been a member for
four years.
Make II easy for my darling
mother" Mrs. Lewes had written in
the second letter, which began with
a request that her body be sent home
to California to be cremated.
The stories of the tragedy and the
events preceding 1t told by the in
Jured girl and Borland. a Dartmouth
graduate, conceded closely. With
Miss Dorothy Gottschalk. Miss Ia
nan told detectives, she and BOrland
had dined at her own home in one
Of the most exclusive residential dis
tricts of Manhattan.
At IL o'clock Thursday night. she
said. she and Borland drove Miss
Gottschalk to he rhome in Scher-
merhorn St. Brooklyn. where they
stayed until shortly after l o'clock
Hears Shots.
1--WE had just emerged from the
vestibule when 1 saw Mrs. Lawes
step from an areaway," Miss Hanan
continued. THE next thing, I heard
three pistol shots. I dropped to the
sidewalk. and when I got up I saw
blood running from my arm.
"I ran for a hundred feet and
collapsed. then heard another
shot"
1t was this last shot that ended
the life OF Mrs. Lawes
One other person witnessed the
tragedy. A neighbor of Miss Colt
schalk's said she was at her window
and saw Miss Lawes sit down on a
nearby stoop. ;ake a cup from her
handbag. drink something from IL
and then dash the vessel into the
gutter.
Searchers later found fragments
OF the china and in the dead wom-
ans bag a phial labeled with the
name of a drug.
Borland, while admitting that he
and Mrs. Lawes had quarreled over
Miss Hanan, ernphatically denied
that any feeling concerning himself
had led 10 the shooting. He said the
motive was positively not jealousy"
expressing the belief that she was
temporarily derarged mentally.
Mrs. Lawes was related to Miss
Hanan by marriage and lived with
the Hanan family until two weeks
ago, when she moved into an apart
ment at the Vanderbilt hotel She
was divorced several years ago from
her husband. Edgar Z. Schmitt. and
resumed her maiden name Of Lawes.

TEXARKANA TO
HAVE CREAMERY
TEXARKANA MEN MAKE SUR
VEY TO ASCERTAIN NUMBER
OF DAIRY COWS.

Messrs. Chas. M. Conway and NJ. E
Melton of nexarkana were in the city
a short time Tuesday afternoon and
met a number of local farmers in the
office Of the Washington State Bank,
discussing with them the possibilities
offered in maintaining dairy herds for
the marketing of butter fat. These
gentlemen are making a survey of the
territory around TeXarkana, within a
radius of saventy-five mt!es, in O. der
to ascertain the number Of mix cows
available to supply cream to a propos-
ed creamery at Texarkana. The South
ern Ice & Utilities Co., with head
quarters at Dallas, Texas, has agreed
to put in a $5O,OOO.OO dairy plant at
Texarkana provided there are suff-
cient cows to support the enterprise
and the survey is being made in order
to furnish this information.
After detailing the advantages a
creamery at Texarkana would afford
this community by providing a nearby
market, Mr.. Melton, who is secretary
Of the Texarkana Chamber of Com
merce, produced pledge cards for the
signatures Of those who would have
available COWS. Thirty-five were pied
ged in few minutes time by those
present. 1t was stated that there were
many others not present who would
cooperate in the movement and addi-
tional pledge cards were left at the
banA for their signatures.
Mr.. Melton stated that if the survey
disclosed a sufficient number of avail
able cows in the TexarHana territory
the creamery wuold be put in at once
and should BIZ in operation within six
ty days. He said that the present
price of butter fat is 36 cents a pound
and that the prices paid at Texarkana
would always conform to the Elgin,
ILL.,, price, the cream center of the Uni
ted States.
Messrs. Conway and Melton visited
Columbus before coming here and they
found the farmers there willing to CO.
operate in securing the creamery.

If everybody would raise plenty of
