an apartment house in Brooklyn
with John s. Borland, an impor-
ter. Mrs. Grace Lawes, who fred
the shots, then ended her own life
by firing a bullet into her brain.
Miss Hanan, in a hospital, refused
to discuss the shooting.
According to the police Mrs.
Lawes had stepped out of the sha-
dows as he and Miss Hanan emer-
ged from the apartment where
they had been visiting a friend and
fired. He attributed the shooting,
police said, to jealousy, admitting
that he had quarelled with Mrs.
Lawes recently over Miss Hanan.
Miss Hanan's condition was re-
ported critical but not necessarily
fatal.
Mrs. Lawes was a distant rela-
tive of Miss Hanan. For four
years she had lived with Miss
Hanan and the latter's mother.
Two weeks ago she moved to the
Hotel Vanderbilt. The police said
that she had sent several threaten
ing letters recently to Miss Hanan.
Borland, a graduate of Dart
mouth College, was questioned for
several hours by assistant district
attorney Wilson and detectives.
The police said that the two wo-
men had been almost inseparable
for four years They expressed be-
lief, however, that Mrs. Lawes had
become so incensed by Miss
Hanan's acceptance of social invi-
tations from Borland that her mind
had become affected.
In an effort to save Miss Hanan's
life blood TRANSMISSION was
made. Assembled at the hospital
were Borfand and the girls mother
and brother.

allegations that the city was in fl
nancial straits had affected ad-
versely the market for it's bonds.
He maintained that safe guards of
the law governing bond issues
were such that their value could
not be so changed. He said the ac-
ton brought by the city could not
be maintained as a case in libel
for three reasons. The first was
that publications to which the city
took exceptions and quoted did not
constitute defamation insofar as .
is defined by the courts and the
law of libel. Secondlv he said no
possible damage could result to
the city because of the publica-
ton and in the third place the
statements published by the Tri-
une regarding the condition of the
city treasury were approximately
true.
