Miss Gottschalk talked freely enough
early in the day. Later on she refused
to say much.
Mrs. Lawes." she said. was very
fine looking with remarkable eyes and
Titan hair. On Wednesday night she
rang me up asking me to have dinner
with her in Manhattan. I agreed 10
meet her but called up Miss Hanan
first and told her. / knew of course
there had been trouble between Miss
Hanan and Mrs Lawes and Miss Hanar
told me to dine with Mrs. Lawes and
try to find out what was the matter
with her.
Mrs. Laves Disturbed.
Mrs Lawes was very much dis
turbed. She sat on the opposite side
Of the table with tears rolling down her
geance 1t was rather disconnected
and vague.
{" The worm will turn she cried, the
worm will turn
There was some talk of Borland.
Finally asked her IL she loved him.
She seemed more distressed but said
that she did not. / know Mr.. Borland
never cared for her. There was more

Every time / have had anything

Mrs. Lawes spoke to me of the dis

characterized It as some fight She
added she had been drinking at the time
OF the quarrel. Some of the news
papers have said that Miss Hanan had
asked Borland TO help her find an
apartment. That's not so. The fact is
that 1t was Mr.. Borland who wanted an
apartment. He had grown tired of the
Fourth street neighborhood and as his
lease expires October he asked Miss
Hanan to drive him to certain places In
her car that he might look for new
apartment. She did that on Thursday
