Of the first girl. She and her
mother are out of the city. They
viii both be questioned on their
return.
Commissioners Oyster explained
that the first complaint was made
20 Lieutenant Plemmons. acting
CHEF of detectives, during the re-
cont absence from the city Of In
spector Clifford l.. Grant.
The affair took place while Major
Sullivan was In the West and while
Inspector Grant was out OF the city
on official business. The girl In qtes-
ton is said to have been sent to
the District Building for writ
ten recommendation from Inspector
Grant. Finding him away she was
sent to Acting Superintendent
When Evans asked her what she
would do for him should she get
the recommendation. she says she
told him she would send him a
box of cigars.
"That Is. not what i want"
Il is claimed she quoted Evans as
saying.
There was a suggestion. by Evans.
the girl claimed. that he call her
on the telephone. Later, It Is
claimed by those investigating the
case, Evans did call up the girls
telephone number, but her mother
answered.
Inspector Grant became interested
in the matter and Is said to have
made q personal visit to the home
Of the mother and daughter, where
the matter was gone into at length.
Mrs. Nina c. Van Wrinkle. head of
the Woman's Bureau, and several
members Of that bureau are show
ing great interest In the matter, and
they are certain to figure in the In
-yestigation before It Is finished.
It was Assistant Superintendent
Evans who precipitated the trial Of
Mrs. Van Wrinkle before the Police
Trial Board last spring.
The trial board found Mrs. Van
winlSle not guilty Of insubordina-
tion, but noted on its findings that
she did not have proper conception
of the cardinal principle Of discipline
that should obtain in the police de-
partment.
Evans, who preferred the charges
and was the complaining witness,
gave testimony that. instead Of sub
stantiatins the charges. proved OF
telling effect for the defense.

On one occasion Mary Garden, In an

she was just the opposite from Bill.
Instead of calling him her hero"
and raving over his horsemanship

him her cream puff in public, and
she was afraid of guns and horses.
When he came in from Western

Whether Hart will contest the suit
