GIRL FALLS out.
Of AUTO

CONTINUED from First Page
a. m. today, when he saw a girl
struggling with a young man in
the car.
After following for a block and
a half, young Baldwin, who was
unable to get the number Of the
car, saw the girl open the door
and back out as the man inside
struggled to prevent her. The
automobile was moving at about
20 miles an hour, Baldwin said,
and the girl fell heavily to the
street.
Finds Her Unconscious
When he stopped his car end
reached her, she was unconscious,
Baldwin said. He started to pick
her up when one Of the occupants
of the machine from which she had
fallen came running back. He was
closely followed by the driver.
Baldwin says he was told to
beat 1t"
A third automobile, later identi-
fled by Baldwin as the one that
took the girl to Garfield Hospital,
occupied by William Bulls, Of l2S
V St. n. E.. and Evan K. Davis,
OF Lee Heights. Va, came up.
Davis, according to Baldwin, said
he recognized the girl and helped
lift her into Baldwin's car, so that
Baldwin might take her to a doctor.
She had partly regained conscious
ness and demurred at being taken
home.
Taken to Hospital
Plans were changed and the girl
was transferred to the DAVIS car
and she was taken to the hospital.

the girl fell from as 51.5Y9 u. c.,

Today the girl left the hospital
with her mother, self possessed and
with a story that differed entirely
from that told by the men who
picked her UP.
"You can publish anything you
want" she said In the anterooln
of the hospital. II will tell you
nothing. You have my name and
address. so publish that"
A bit later however, she told this
story:
She had left home in the evening
with a young man friend nameL
Eddie" He took her to the home
OF a girl friend in the 1900 block on
Nineteenth Street Northwest.
She saw no more Of Eddie" but
went to the movies with the girl
friend to see "Forlorn River" at the
Columbia, and was ON her way
home, walking up Rhode Island

which leaves at 1890 a. m.
It was while awaiting the bus at
Second Street Northwest that she

According to information received
at the girls home, Eddie" tele-
phoned early in the evening, and.
asked her to ge. an

Presently a Chevrolet coupe came
to the house and Mamie-her name
is Mary. but she prefers Mamie

No one in the house saw Eddie
and his last name is not known
there.
When first admitted to the hos
pital Miss Archer gave the name
OF Archie Berry, but today denied
all knowledge Of that name.
She said she could give the name
OF the girl she went to visit, but

HELEN WILLS IMPROVES
Now Is Expected To Be Able To
 Leave Hospital By Sunday

Paris, June FD - Miss Helen Wills, American Lawn Tennis cham pion, who underwent an operation for appendicitis Friday night, will leave the hospital next Sunday, her mother said this morning. Miss Wills had a comfortable night and her condition was satisfactory this morning. but she will not be allowed to receive visitors before Wednesday.
 Mrs. Wills says her daughter will probably go to the Wimbledon tour nament in England as a spectator, but that no definite plans will be made until her release from the hos pital. She will probably stay in Paris for two weeks after that date.
 Her doctors says she can play tennis within a month, and her par ticipation in the Forest Hills tour nament is regarded as certain.
