PcritOnltis' Develops Around WOUNDS
RorIand Denies Jealousy Between
Two Women - Reported that Mrs.
IayvGs Also Denied 1t.
NEW YORK, Sept. 24,-NIiss Mildred
f. Hanan, daughter of the late Alfred P,
Uanan, shoe manufacturer, who was shot
early yesterday by Mrs. Grace Lawcs,
her former chum, was reported by sur
geons today to be sinking rapidly. Peri
tonitis was said to have set in as result
of one of the three wounds inflicted as
she was leaving the apartment of a
friend in Brooklyn with John S. Borland.
The motive back of the shooting re-
mained Somewhat clouded in mystery to-
day. The theory of jealousy because Of
Borland's attentions to Miss Hanan, adj
vanced by the police, was repudiatcd by
Borland, by Miss Hanan and by Mrs.
Lawcs's sister, Mrs. NJ f. Bittmars, in
San Francisco. They expressed the be-
lief that Mrs. Lawes had been temporarily
deranged by the use Of drugs and liquor.
Miss Dorothy Gottschalk, before whose
home the shooting occurred, said Mrs.
IaweS had denied she was in love with
Borland or jealous of his attention to Miss
Uanan.
Borland told Detective William Bros
nan Of the Adams street station: Mrs.
I.awes had no reason to be infatuated
with me. She had never shown the slight
est sign of affection toward me"
In the Long Island college hospital,
Miss Hanan told detectives she had re
ceived several threatening letters from
Mrs. Lawes in the, last three weeks. Bor-
land, and members of Miss Hanan's family
who live at $50 Park avenue, verified this
statement.
Miss Hanan and Borland said the letters
followed quarrel between Miss Hanan
and Mrs. Lawes in Borland's presence in
the country home of Mrs Clara NJ. Hanan,
the wounded girls mother. at ShOreham.
Long Island. Up to the day Of this quar-
rel Mrs. Lawes had resided with the Han
ans in their Park Avenue apartment. and
had passed the week-ends with them at
the Shoreham estate. But after the quar-
rel Mrs. Lawes, on Sept, 4. had hastily
packed and moved to the Vanderbilt hotel.
Borland admitted he had heard the i;3ar-
rel from its inception, but he refused to
discuss its cause, except to say that Mrs.
IawPs was jealous.
Mrs. Lawes had an imaginary griev-
ance," he said. 1T was the deed of a
crazy woman. That's all l care to say
about it."
