LURED GIRL TO APARTMENT
He Is Now On Trail Of Other
Beauties In South, Miss
Whitehurst Declares

NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-Miss Lu-

brought charges of mistreatment
against the Spanish vice-consul at

charges trifed with her affections,
casting her aside, and throwing her
from his apartment whittier he had

Miss Whitehurst in telling her
story said:
"To me Mariana was the most
marvellous man l had ever known. His
ga1lantry, his delicacy and courtly
charm won my heart completely, and
perhaps the. principal reason l loved
him was because he seemed to love
me so. am Southern girl and, you
know Southern girls are only won by
deyotion.
"Since Wtsriano ceased to love me
I have diee@a a thousand deaths emo

anguish has dampened my pillow
nightly for months. But do not love
him now: My love for him was killed
when he forcibly thrust me from his
presence, striking me a blow that
left an ugly mark upon my shoulder
for weeks"
But, according to her story, the
girl did not lose all love for the hand
some Spaniard until after she had
fought with a feminine tenacity to
retain his affection. She claims that
they became engaged in midsummer
and that following two months OF
bliss, Vidal showed indications of IN
difference and neglect. Following
tempestuous days when the demure
little Southern girl, emulating the

some of the officials of the church
that it include, for instance, a place
where boys and young men may gath

Many plans are in the minds of the
