ACTRESS branding
STORY IS STRANGE
Police Intimate She May Have
!. SlaShed Herself

Hollywood, June 1o.-A-The
story Of MiS Doris Williams stage
and screen extra. that she was seized
at the door Of her apartment by an
APE like man" who carved seven
ks" on her forehead. arms and
chest, was the subject OF a vigorous
Investigation today by the police.
They frankly declared they were
skeptical of the actress version Of
the affair.
The officers said they had been
unable to obtain any corroborattve
evidence for the actress version Of
how she received the seven strange
letters, but they added that it had
not been disproved.
Her story was that she met her
attacker. whom she described as
looking like a gorilla" at fare
well party for the company of
"Aloma Of the South Seas" in which
she appeared In New York. She said
she signed some mysterious paper
for him in a spirit OF bravado.
Early Thursday morning she said
she heard a knock on the door. On
opening it, she was confronted by
her gorilla man." He grabbed her
and, muttering about something TO
remember me by" began slashing
her with a razor blade. She said
she tainted and later revived lying
in pool Of blood"
The police declared that when
they arrived at the apartment they
found the room was not disarranged
and that there were only a few
drops of blood in evidence. The
letters, with the exception of deep
er. slashes on the forehead, were
described as scratches such as
could have been made with pin or
needle. The forehead wound was the
only one considered sufficient to
warrant a bandage.
The officers regarded as signifi-
cant the fact that all OF the ks"
with the exception Of few on the
arms were made backward. They
would appear as the usual letters if
viewed In a mirror. the officers
pointed out.
Questioning Of other residents Of
the apartment where the actress
said the attack took place caused
the police to search for man who
was believed to have called at Miss
Williams apartment shortly before
the ease was reported. The police
said his name was known and If he
were located the case might be solv-
ed.
The police were called not by
Miss Williams but by George La
monte, an actor friend. to whom she
had sent 4 message. The police said
Lamonte told them Miss Williams
about 4 week ago wanted to arrange
soma. daring publicity stunt" He
said he dissaaaed her from doing it.
