GENOA, April 29.-Hope was up
permost in the minds OF the Genoa
statesmen today when the subcom'
mittee dealing with Russian affairs
again met to attempt the delicate
task OF reconciling the widely di.
verEent views of Great Britain and
France.
Underneath the hope that lay up.
permost, however, was a feeling or
pessimism in many quarters that the
experts will be unable 10 make the
adjustment. Adding to the feeling
of gloom was the impending de-
parture of Louis Barthou, head of
the French delegation, who goes to
Paris tonight to report to Premier
Poincare and the recalcitrant French
cabinet.
The opinion is freely expressed
that NJ. Barthou will not return to
Genoa. His own differences with
Premier Poincare are considerable.
The French leader himself, however,
says he will come back.
Promises to Return.
"You may be sure" he said today,
that IL / go / will make arrange
ments that will prevent any inter
ruption of the conference"
The lineup in the subcommittee
today was the same that has existed
since the conference began twenty
days ago-France, with the support
OF Belgium, holding out for stern
terms to Russia, and Great Britain,
with the support of Italy, counsel
ing moderation. The smaller fryI
nations are, divided. The Russians
and the Germans are playing the
role of interested onlookers.
The differences between the French
and British policies can best be
epitomiZed by stating that France
demands absolute guarantees with
respect to Russia's repayment of her
war debts and protection of private
property, while Great Britain favors
diminution of the war debts and less
stringent terms about the return OF
foreign property seized by the Soviet
government.
A plenary session Of the confer
ence was arranged today for next
Wednesday.
The fate Of the Genoa conference
will be written in the intervening
days, according to belief expressed
today in many quarters.

The reading of the letters was

Mr.. Burton stated that he cut a
piece OF bloodstained cloth from
Miss Knox's raincoat on October 20,
1921, and put it under a miscro-

puscles were so broken down at
that time that he could not ascer-

stains were blood. but by sub

BY DANIEL O'CONNELL,

DUBLIN, April 29.-Official an
nouncement OF the collapse Of the
Irish truce conference was made to-
day. The peace makers failed ut
terly to reach an agreement.
A report was issued decrying the
Cork Outrages and expressing the
hope that the perpetrators Of the
crimes there that have shocked all
Ireland will be apprehended.
The view prevailing among lead
ers of all factions is that unless
measures are soon taken to stop
the disorders In Ireland the country
is threatened with virtual state Of
anarchy in which British troops
would have to return to restore
order.

You have no right to inquire

reporter. "Furthermore / think you

lake married." the reported asked.
It's none Of your business" was
the reply.
Where were you married."
That also doesn't concern you,"
she replied.
She stepped away from the report
er, and as she did so cameras clicked.
On observing the camera men she
turned and fled back into the
grounds, taking refuso n thU wa tCI..
mans shanty at the gate.
When asked if she had heard how
the trial at Montross was progressing
she declared that she had not, then
suddenly remembering that she was
neither Mrs. Eastlake or Miss Crit
tenden. she demanded to know:
"What trial?"
All questions as to the honeymoon
of the pair fell on deaf ears AZ she
sought refuge from the focus of the
cameras.
Remained Until Dark.
Mrs. Eastlake usually leaves the
hospital grounds about 5 o'clock in
the afternoon. Yesterday afternoon,
however. she refused to leave until
after dusk.
The first appearance of EastlaiIe
at the hospital, it was stated yester-
day afternoon was shortly before the
present trial began. For several
weeks she avoided her friends when
with Eastlake, and made no pretense
ofintroducing him.
Several weeks ago, however, she
found 1t impossible to avoid an intro
duction between Eastlake and three
of her friends, and on that occasion,
Ii is stated, she introduced him as
"Mr. Cunningham"
Shortly after this, she disappeared
Tor a week, and nothing was heard
of her until she returned to work the
next week. Nothing was said about
where she had been, and nothing
thought of II.
The marriage was closely guarded
and the bride of mystery continued
TO introduce Eastlake to friends and
scquaintances as Mr.. Cunningham.
1t was not until last week, follow
ing the announcement in The Times
that it was known the young woman
had married Eastlake.
Mrs. Eastlake, according to hos.
pital employees, met her husband in
January. 1921, when she moved to
the Second street address from her
former home in Anacostia.
Their courtship, II is said was
short, and they were married Just
three months after Eastlake was ac-
quilted of the charge of numbering
his wife.
The young bride is not what one
would call striking beauty" al.
though her large brown eyes, which
constitute her most attractive fea.
lures. are orbs which might attract
the average man.
She appears to be about twenty
eight or thirty years old. and was
becomingly dressed. Her brown
hair is lightly flecked with gray, and
her hands are thin and nervous.
At the hospital IL was learned that
Mrs. Eastlake comes from an old
Virginia family, her parents being
Mr.. and Mrs. Nathan Crittenden,
living in Fauquier county. She had
