"Au right, Mr.. Eatonr' Connery
returned 10 his charge. You are that
man. So besides whatever else that
means, you'd been in Seattle eleven
DAYS ana yet you were the last person
TO get aboard this train, which left a
full hour after its usual starting time.
Who were you waiting 10 see get on
the train before you yourself took TT"
Eaton wet his lips. To what was
Connery working up? The probable
that in addition to the recognition OF
him as the man who had waited at
Warden's-which fact anyone at any
time might have charged-COnnery
knew something else which the con-
ductOr could not have been expected
to know-this dlsmayed Eaton the
more BY its indefinlteness. And he
saw. as his gaze shifted to Avery, that
Avery knew this thing also.

''You know no one in ChicagoY
"No one" Eaton repeated.
"And certainly no one there knows
you well enough to follow your
movements in relation 10 Mr.. San

from the fact that you know no one
at all there"
The conductor pulled a telegram
from his pocket and handed it 10
Avery, who. evidently having already
seen 1t. passed il on to Harriet San

BY JACK CARBERRY,

NEW YORK, Dec. 8.-Beverly
d. Harris, wealthy fifty-four-year-
old former New York banker, will
go into court here next week and
reveal "the entire past" of his
twenty-seyen-year-old wife, Elaine
Lee Harris, Southern beauty, he
said in an interview today.
Harris, who is suing for annul-
ment of his marriage, said he
would prove that Eli Rayner, OF
Memphis, ''lived openly with her
at 161 Madison avenue, Memphis,
Tenn, for years. Mrs. Harris
claims Rayner is her father.
DisiIIusiOned, He Asserts.
The former banker admitted he
had been completely disilIusioned by
his matrimonial experience.
"A man should never marry a
woman half his age-viewpoints OF
life are too widely separated" he
said.
Harris denied he had ever branded
his wife an octoroon.
Neither have I ever questioned
her birth" he said. "She, alone, says
she is love child. 1t is my conten-
ton she is the legitimate daughter of
Samuel C. Lee, of GAINESVILLE, Tenn
Harris, like his wife, has been in
seclusion for months. He has been

Mrs. Harris calls me a multi-nniI-
lionaire. The truth of the matter is
am almost pauper-out of work
and cannot find a job because of the
charges that have been made against

Declares Heart Is Broken.
He denied that he had ordered his
wife to be "the best dressed woman
in New York. and sanctioned cloth
ing bills of $1,000 a week, in order
that she might be a show window in
his business drawing room, attract
ing his wealthy friends" That was
what she charged.

our marriage because was deceived

planned. Had she told me of the

girl in Memphis, Tenn, and lived
