NEW YORK. July 30.-Mrs. Allan A.

men and women, according to an in
terview with her at Sebago Lake
Me-. published by the New York
World today.

she said.
Maxwell, she said she believed, was
the victim of the spite of unidentified
evil doers. Asserting that she. too
had received a poisoned letter two
years ago, and had destroyed il, she
said she thought her husband had
acted hastily in causing an investiga-
ton.
Mrs. Ryan denied authorship of the
three radiograms which a brief, tiled
by the district attorneys office said
she had sent TO Maxwell.
She was in this city, and not in
Paris, as was believed while the
grand jury was conducting its inves-
tiGation into charges against Max

Mrs. Ryan. through Wolff. emphati-
cally, denied that she had been guilty
of the slightest improrriety WttH
Maxwell. He said Mrs. Ryan returned
TO New York from Europe by way of
Montreal early in Junc. and was met
at the railroad station by her husband
who had received the poison pen
letters.
"It Is true that Mrs Ryan and Max
well had an intimate friendly rcla j.
tionship," said Wolff. but all these
charges based on radiagrams, all
these assertions that they had trav-
eled about Europe together, or had
improper relations, are false"
