Attended Party I'm Friends Rooms.
Miss Austin went to the apart
ment of her friend, Miss Marie
Henderson, on Green street, to
spend the weekend before return
ing to Washington. A party was
scheduled for Saturday night, which
the girls fiance was expected to
attend. This gives rise to q theory
in the minds Of the police that the
two expected to elope and keep
their marriage secret.
But the mysterious Frank did not
appear. In his place, when the
party was breaking up and Miss
Henderson was leaving to accom-
pany some of her guests home In a
machine, came Fine, who, 1t Is
said, tried gently to break the
news to Miss Austin that Frank
had decided that 1t was for their
mutual benefit the marriage be
abandoned completely.
Rushed for Poison.
The girl appeared stunned by the
news, Fine told the police. Then,
with sob she rushed to a bureau
and drew forth a bottle, the con-
tents Of which she was about to
swallow when Fine interfered. !.
The girl fled into the bathroom
and locked herself in, while Fine
pounded on the door and begged
her not to do anything rash. When
he heard the crash Of the bottle
on the floor he knew that she had
drained It. He broke in the door
and found her moaning on the
floor. Fine telephoned the police Of
the Twentieth and Buttonwood
streets station and Miss Austin was
removed to the hospital.
