Through the grapevine tele-
graph system OF the ring It was
learned that Eleanor was talk
ing. and forthwith an attempt
was made TO close her mouth.
The wife Of one OF the lawyers
involved in the girls statements
called on her in the hospital and
found that It was too late.
When she returned to Boston
there was a general conference
among the ringleaders, and Miss
Barnes name was dropped from
the weekly payroll. Then Eleanor
made a complete, definite state
ment to Prosecutor ,Schaatz, Of
Hartford. telling in affidavit
form all that she knew Of the
makeup and machinery of the
blackmailing band.
Here, told for the first time. is
Eleanor Barnes own story Of the
manner in which Albert Victor
Searles, the Boston millionaire
artist, who obtained a fortune
after the settlement Of the estate
OF his uncle, Edward Searles,
owner of the New York Globe,
was duped and delivered into the
hands Of the extortion ring:
II first met Vic searles through
a man named Rogers. an engineer
for the United Drug Company.

to the hive where an organization
OF lawyers and their lures have
been stinging scores Of college
students. manufacturers and pro-
fessional men for years past.
The Attorney General Is already
investigating the activities Of the
band. and It is believed that sew
erai indictments will follow.
The Queen Bee is Eleanor M.
Barnes, alias Esther Levy. alias
Marian Saunders, alias q dozen
other aliases, and her range of
activity covers New England,
New York. Chicago and points
between. This girl Is twenty-five
years old, slim. pretty and quito
constituencies. She was caught
in Hartford, Conn.,, with Abram
Levy, son of a wealthy manufacs
turer, who revealed that they
were married. The revelation was
followed by the young woman's
arrest on a charge Of bigamy, for
she is still legally the wife of
Myron Groom. Of New York.

promising that her. revelations
would shake Boston to its social
foundations.
The girl has given up enough
already to show that her testi-
mony will prove of paramount
importance in the pending investi.
cation, from which indictments
are expected. Miss Barnes said
that the inner ring Of blackmail-
ers In Boston was composed Of q
number OF lawyers, who found
honesty unremunerative and de-
cided to develop a side line Of ex-
tortion.
She gave their names, tracing
the origin Of the idea back to the

figure in another ring OF sirens
who preyed on visiting business
men and college students.
Whether this ring operated in
connection with the circle that en-
ployed Eleanor Barnes and Blanche
Paul is not yet established. but the
methods were strikingly similar, as
witness this letter which Miss
whelan had written to friend.

For the last two years, Miss
Barnes said, she and the Paul wom-
an have been operating outside
Boston, but were continued on the
blaclmailing rings payroll at $50
a week each. The envelopes In
which the money came, she said,

Eleanor drifted to New Haven,
while Blanche Paul went West. The
Barnes girl developed a wide ac-
quaintanceship among Yale stu.
dents, following suggestions from
the Hub headquarters of the band.
At a time when she believed the
youth was carrying several thou
sands Of dollars in currency, the
girl framed a fake raid, and the
boy gave up $500, all he had, to the
supposedly official raiders.
Eleanor said that she turned this
