4 STORY OF
A GIRL; HER
ONLY LOVE
He Went to Miami and For
got Her-COroner Writes
FINS to Drama.
BIZ Times Special

BIZ Times Special
CHICAGO, May 1.-THE only ro-
nance in the life of Laura Lameri,
the quiet, old-fashioned girl who
knew but one sweetheart in her
twenty-one years and loved him so
we'll that she fell into a fretful fever
when he went away to seek the for
tune that would enable them to
marry, is chronicled here just as It
came to the correspondent from
Lauras parents, from the coroner
and from that other never-failing
source of city news-the police.
All of these sources played their
parts in Laura S story, but they had
very little to do with her life and
her romance. That was left to the
steel mill where Laura worked by
day and to John Mayo Chapman, the
lover of whom she dreamed by night.
But let Laura father. gnarled old
John Lameri, tell his version Of the
affair first:
1T was six months ago" says
Lameri that John Mayo chapman
told Laura he was going to Miami
to make some money so that they
could get married For a time his
letters came regularly-just like
clock work they dropped into the
mail box.
Laura used to get them when
she came home from the mill. She
would never go out, just stay
around the house every night pour
ing over these letters and sewing
things.
Then the letters dwindled and
three months ago Laura got word
from John that she had better try
to forget After that she sat alone
in her room every night I think
she was reading those old letters.
Sometimes heard her walking
about late at night and early morn
ings. I was afraid but I tried to
cheer her up.
ION the night OF April 80 I urged
her to walk outside and she went
out, but didn't come back"
Then the police, in the person of
SerEt. Edward Collopy:
Mr. Lameri telephoned us that
his daughter was missing some time
during the night OF April 30" the
sergeant said. Next morning on
the banks Of the drainage canal we
found her hat. coat and vanity
case. That was all except in the
soft ground there were some prints
like YOU might make If you were
down on your knees praying"
Then lastly comes Coroner Oscar
Wolff, who is accustomed to being
the last TO he interviewed about ro-
manCes gone awry:
yes, we found her body in the
canal Sunday morning" the cor
oner said. Tt was down by Spring
field and Harding AYES. and we
notified her parents and they looked
at the body. The Identification is
positive"
So that is the whole story Of the
romance OF Laura Lameri, the quiet,
old fashioned girl who knew but one
sweetheart and loved him more than
life itself.

fully advocates immediate recognition

The Current History magazine sub

TO a number of eminent Americans.
The point of view of the United

for obvious reasons is anonymous.
It indicates that the American Gov
ernmenI objects to recognizing Rus
sia on three counts: The Soviet
propaganda methods. the reputation
Of debts and the lack Of economic
stability in Russia. An official state
ment of the repudiated debts due the
United States from Russia shows
that they amount to approximately
$500 000, 900.
