NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-There was

the Park Central hotel-a part;'
that was in keeping with night life
of the 'incandescent belt"
Cocktails and highballs were ser =
we'd abundantly. Mrs. Ruth Keye5
was invited in by someone she really
never knew before. Someone asked
her if she had a girl friend. She
answered yes, for her modelling ha !
given her many New York acquaint
ances, although she was the wife OF
a Chicago railroad brakeman. She
went to look for the girl friend.
While she was gone, Arnold Roth
stein was invited to the room and
fatally shot.
