the show, playing roles far differ
ent from their depressed spirits,
while police continued to investigate
tthe murder of leading man, Rob-

Although the players remarked in
whispers the murder was climax of
"the strange curse that has been on
the play" in its run of twelve
months here, they took their places
on the stage with an understudy in
Chapmans role and spoke spicy
lines amid the audiences laughter.
"The play has been cursed since
I've been with it," Florence Bell,
who has character part and who
was hostess at Chapman's last party,
said.
"I've known hardly anything but
horror and distress since I joined
the cast"

Hoffman was the last to see Chap

apartment where they had returned
after a Bohemian party.
Hoffman said two men knocked
and demanded a drink. He re-
fused and they forced their way in,
Hoffman said.
Chapman went to his friends aid
and the mysterious intruders were
getting the best of the two, Hoff-
man said, so he broke away and
went to the janitor's room to sum-
mon aid.
Says He Heard Scream
''While running I heard man
scream" Hoffman said. A few
moments later Chapman's body was
found in the apartment house shaft,
under the sixth story window of
