Likes Poverty
He;7esS Glad She Spurned
Riches to Stay With
Cowboy Mate.

y ~ = ftt' GU I = Cos
HOLLYWOOD, April 1.-Two
4 4 months after she spurned a
parental mansion and wealth for
a simple Hollywood bungalow and
the dude cowboy with whom she
eloped, the former Catherine
Thorne, Chicago heiress, was con-
vinced today that she had made
the right decision in choosing love.
The home her husband, Big
Boy" George Gillespie has pro-
vided is anything but pretentious,
but it is cozy, There are no serv-
ants, but there is happiness, Mrs.
Gillespie said.
There are no idle trips about
the country or prospects of visit
to Europe. The fortune of the
girls father, Robert j. Thorne,
millionaire and former president
of Montgomery Ward e. Co., does
not figure in the little home
they're on their own"
Gillespie is looking for a job;
he thinks it's a movie job, or
hopes it will be. The cowboy
worked in a Ken Maynard film as
a pony express rider, but picture
doesn't take long to make these
days and production has been
completed,
YVES sir, we haven't got much
Il money. But we have lot
of fun Gillespie said as he
strunmed banjo. That's moth
ing unusual with me. Lots of
times, a meal and place to sleep
has been my fortune"
AS for the housekeeping-the
bride looked at her husky hus-
band and then said. George does
all the cooking. He's wonderful
at it and-well, I couldn't even
boil an egg.
HE can cook anything. but he
likes hamburgers best"
"Yes sir, just let me see any
dish and sniff it and I'll turn you
out that very same dish any style,
bar none" the cowboy assured.
Don't think I have to do all
the housekeeping, though" he put
his arm about his wife. She's
one fine little seamstress and l
keep her busy sewing buttons on
my shirts"
Gillespie is teaching his wife
cowboy songs and how to play the
banjo.
The romance of the cowboy and
the heiress gained nationwide at
tention when they eloped from
Castle Hot Springs, Ariz., where
Gillespie was employed and the
girl was a guest. Her father first
said she was under age and had
been kidnapped, but later withdrew
a complaint.
Then the couple agreed to a
ten-day "love test" separation.
But at the end OF that time de-
cided they still we're in love and
we're reunited here.

is luxury, wealth and social prestige
along every step of the thorough
fare. The Hotel Marguery is Cne

Barclay and three persons are held,
Samuel E. Bell, oil promoter OF Bal
timore; Mrs. Robert L. Brown, So

Mrs. Brown was questioned today
by District Attorney Joab Banton
and later released. She told the
district attorney she knew nothing
of the alleged alteration between

District Attorney Banton today
hoped to hear more about what
preceded the death by calling Mrs.
Robert w. Schuette, Smiths host
ess Thursday night; Mrs. NJ. Wal
ter Beinecker and Mrs. Harold @.
Barbee, Park avenue residents.
Mrs. Schuette had invited enough
guests to make several tables. Smith
went, but did not play bridge, &C
cording to Beinecke. He sat around
and had several drinks during the
course Of the evening, the guests
said.
Smith, several witnesses said, be-
came interested in Mrs. Brown and
with Bell escorted ner GOWN UIle
elevator and out to the curbing.
There when he tried to enter the
cab driven by Spence, Bell pushed
him and he fell against the curbing.
Smith Messy Drunk
Spence said that Smith was
messy drunk" although in Cleve-
land he was not known as a drink
ing man. Police arrested Smith on
an intoxicating charge and when he
appeared in court Friday morning
he appeared so i'll that the judge
ordered him to his hotel.
A few hours later he died and at
first his death was attributed to
diabetic condition. An investiga-
ton later showed he had a frac-
tured skull.
Bell insisted he did not knock the
Cleveland man down as some wit
nesses have asserted. Mrs. Schuette,
former wife of Harry S. Harkness,
went to her country home imme-
diately after the event.
