Reticent. About Affairs.
Although she was reticent about
her personal affairs, It was under
stood about the hotel that she was
taking over the lease OF the apart
ment from an. Englishman who was
returning to London. Whether this
was "Sir John GrisewoOd, who has
been mentioned as figuring promi-
nently in Dorothy's lie, il not
known.
From the time she moved there
her life is mainly the story Of her
relations with two men - Mar
shall" the sixty-year-old gray
haired millionaire, her heavy sugar
papa, and Albert Guimares, the
young, fastidiously dressed Porto
RicaI1, whose many gifts to her
were usually teweIry, while Mar
shall supplied the money.
Only Two Visited Her.
These two were the only men she
allowed to visit the apartment. Her
occasional flirtations with others
were conducted elsewhere. Neither
Guimares nor Marshall" knew OF
them, and, stranger still, each knew
little, il anything, Of the other.

socially prominent in Boston, and
Dorothy had visions OF some day
rising to a similar place.
No Inclination to Marry.
Guimares, on the other hand,
showed little inclination TO make
her his wife. They talked about It
and her annulment of her marriage
to Opel was supposed to be for
that purpose, but after that had
been accomplished, things went on
the same as before.

party there attended by Dorothy,
Guimares, and another couple, the

Letters Prove a Mystery.
An incident related by III. L.
Hills, chief detective Of the Manager
string OF hotels, which includes the
Great Northern, throws light on
this phase Of their relationship and
also on the bundle of letters which
has often been spoken Of in theoriz-
ing about the murder. One pos
sible explanation Of 1t is that
Dorothy was killed by some one
hired by former admirer to re-
cover letters which could be used
for blackmail.
1t was one night not long after
Dorothy had taken the apartment
that she went to Hills and sali a
Spaniard had taken some letters be.

when she had tried to get them back.
She asked Hills. whom she had
known when living at the hotel, to
help her.
Recovered Her Letters.
He advised her to report the mat.

couldn't afford to have any publicity
about 1t. She saw him the next
night and asked him if he could 60

up the letters. Hills told her he
worked exclusively for the hotels and
saw nothing more of her for rome

she had recovered the letters.
In all the accounts of Dorothy's
later life her jewels, for which APP.
parently she was murdered, play
prominent part. They were an obes-
sion with her. Even when she
dressed to go a block down the street
on an errand she loaded her arms
with diamond bracelets and her
fingers with rings. When she went
