every time he visited the girl.
Albert F. Guimares. wealthy Porto

infatuated, told Pecora that he knew
Of Marshall. but never knew his
real name. Miss Keenan, was said to
have used part of the money lavished
upon her by her rich admirer TO buy
gifts for Guimares.

of the exclusive Rittenhouse Square

ers of the most exclusive social set
in Philadelphia.
