is Investigating the shooting by al

that night riders halted in front of

Mrs. Kidd appeared at the door and
was shot instantly. Yesterday it
was reported Mrs. Kidd was wound

PICTURES IMOGENE
AS A "CAvE LADY"
Frank Tinney Tells Court She
Broke His Doors and Kicked :
His Shins.
JUDGE UNABLE TO DECIDE
Enjoys Many Laughs, But Holds
Defendant Under Bond.
BY consolidated Press.

BY consolidated Press.
NEW YORK, June 12-Imogene
Wilson, the beautiful, tear-stained
high-stepper of the Follies chorus,
may be just little broken flower"
as the prosecution in her assault case
against the comic Frank Tinney
maintains. But if you want to be-
1ieve Frank she is a rip-snorting,
wild-eyed cave lady, whose exploits
in manhandling make his own little
essays in woman tanning look as pal
lid as a joke gone wrong.
Magistrate Levine has been unable
In two highly Spiced hearings, to de-
eide whether Frank should be be-
!leVed or not So he passed the prob
lem along to the grand jury at the
end of hilarious court session late
Wednesday.
Building up his cave lady case
against the fair Imogene, Tinney
testified, and produced witnesses to
testify, to the following moves made
by lmogene in her quest for his
affections:
WoOed Him With Blows.
She smashed in the door of his ex-
pensive town bachelor apartment
brought in her trunks and stuck sc
to move out
She wooed him with blows from a
heavy handbag.
She caressed him with blows from
her pretty pink fists.
She Staked out her claim with deep
hngernail marks on his face and
neck
She kicked the windows out OF a
taxicab just to demonstrate her rage
because he insisted on going home
q {
right off his back
She kicked his shins until they
were--and still are-black and blue.
She started out with a knife-a
potato knifeNto do off Mrs. Tinnev
and Frank, too. if he would not listen
TO her song of love.
Staged Fake Suicide.
But even with all of this. Tinney
says he didn't get real ANNOYED at
her. What got his goat was that
affairs of the heart by staging a
near-suicide. The suicide wasn't so
bad, but, as Tinney explained to the
conVulSed magistrate, it was annoy
ing to have her wrap a photograph of
Frank Tinney around her suicide note.
This led him to visit his former
apartment-now Imogene's by right
or conqueSt-to protest against "the
publicity" While waiting for her to
come in, he said he accepted a "ter-
from Imogene's maid
This rendered him so i'll that he had
to go to bed-in InoGene's kimono.
And in bed, he remained until Imo-
gene came in with, whom do you
think? A reporter. And there was
Tnney, attired in the kimono and a
pair of black earrings he had added,
thinking to hand n laugh" to Imo-
gene and the mutual friend ne
thought was with her. After the re-
porter had got an eyeful and depart
ed. Frank said, he sought his clothes
TO go home. But Imogene had locked
them in a closet.
Story of Assault.
1t was when he tried to get them
out that the alleged assault on Imo-
gene occurred. although Tinney main
tanned he did nothing but defend
himself from Imogene, who welded
an ice pick, and her maid, who WELD
ed claw-like nails.
Exhibits in court included Tinney's
barked shin. which he barred; Imo-
genes walloping handbag, rug
from the scene of battle on which
Imogene nearly bled to DEATH" but
which was stainless; Imogene's pink
fists and: oh. yes. the slim foot and

so many laughs that he was confident
