on the charge of conspiracy in re-

While serving term in the federal

was taken to New York and tried on
the second charge.

Lamar had contended that in 1917.
while confined in the penitentiary

Then comes an occurrence which the
lawyers do not quite understand. Adair
and Evan had separated, definitely,
finally.
Adair definitely broke with his wife and
left her on March II, 1919, he says. But
just year later, when he made a trip to
New York, he asserts that Mrs. Fontaine
called him up on the telephone. told him
where Evan was staying sad ,uggestei
that he spend the weekend with her 1t
the Hotel Martinique. And this, Adair
says, he did.

over.

tinues. 81 got drunk, went to our apart

His mother visited them at the Claridge.
and then returned to Texas until Adar
could get an apartment big enough for
all of them to live in. They moved to an
apartment at No. 166 West Seventy
second street.
"While we lived there many former
friends of Evan came. Among them was
Buddah st. Denis, brother of Ruth St,
Denis the dancer. Evan and her mother
did not tell visitors we were married
Life was unpleasant for me there.
Mrs Fontaine delighted in making things
perfectly miserable for me and was
jealous of Evans love-
Then Evan admitted to Adair, so he
swears, that she had had improper rela-
tons with three men. And it was this
admission, he says, which was the main
reason he left her.
Now why did the attitude of the
Fontaines change toward Adair? Why
was Evan so different toward the man she
had obviously been enamored of?
The time reached at this point in
Adalr's affidavit was we'll along in the
Spring of 1919.
And by May 25th, of that Spring, by
her own statement, Evan had progressed
far enough in her friendship with
Sonny" Whitney so that he was offering
her marriage!
In signed statement given to news
paper men after her suit against Whitney
had been filed, Evan said that she first
met him in March, 1919.
Did the Vanderbilt and Whitney mil
lions look Ike bigger game to Evan and
her mother?
"All these admissions" Adair says,
naturally came as a surprise to me and

of that year, just nine months after
that weekend reunion. And that is
the baby whose father, Evan says, was
the Whitney boy, and of which Chief JUS
tice Borst said: "There is no proof that
there is or ever has been, any child horn
from her"
Well, there is one more thing to record
about young Adair. About two years
ago he was found in room in Dallas.
Texas, with a bullet hole in his head an"
an automatic pistol lying near him. His
friends said he had been talking about
killing himself for several days before.
That was the tni of the sailor boy who
married. the "Fnllcs" beauty.
But the end for the "Follies" beauty
herself is not yet When the judge heard
the evidence which made him cancel the
annument decree, he directed that the
testimony which showed tn fraud had
been imposed upon the ccu2t. seat to

It is not quite cleaR
why Mrs. Fontaine want
ed the girl and Adair to
get together for a few
days on this occasion.
There is no hint that they
attempted any reconcilia-

had already begun her
action for annulment and
had received a letter from
Adair that he would have
nothing to do with the
frame-up, and would not
pay any portion of the

WHAT MATHEW ARNOLD
THOUGHT Of BIDL {.

Fear that his country might swing
away from the Bible. That it might
come about through neglect Of the
Bible on one hand, or through
wrong teaching on the others" And
his belief that the Bible should be
studied constantly as a model by
which men ought to learn to write"
is the manner in which the great es-
sayist expressed his veneration for
the Bible. Mathew Arnold was a
deep thinker, an eminent critic and
a consummate master of style. He
is studied and followed today by all
those who are concerned with speech
Or writing. Text books come and
