MINEOLA, L. L, Nov. 30.-Mrs.
William Cornor, a plump, middle
aged housewife, today explained
why she took her husbands mistress
and child into her home while he
served a term in the Vermont state
penitentiary.
Miss May Gledhill, Canada's beau
tiful "ski girl" designated as Cor
nor'S mistress, meantime was out
of danger at a Mineola hospital,
where she was taken after she COL
lapsed Saturday night following an
interview with Miss Violet Randall,
Salvation Army worker, and two
alleged immigration inspectors.
Mrs. Cornor said she and Miss
Gledhill lived together in the Cor
nor (Iineola) home in peace and
contentment, with the Cornor- Gled-
hill baby. From his prison cell, Cor
nor wrote love letters to both his
wife and his mistress.
HE writes love letters to both
Of us from prison and we exchange
them" Mrs. Cornor said calmly.
She lets me read hers and I let her
read mine.
Husband Is Blamed
"Those letters changed my mind
about this thing. I used to think
that she was to blame, but after
reading his damned fool letters to
her, I think he is three-fourths to
blame"
Il tried to stop this affair at the
beginning" Mrs. Cornor said. That
was four years ago. My only aim is
to get the girl and her child back
to her parents in WeStmont, On
tario Miss Gledhill has her moth
err, father and brother there, and
detectives there know all about the
case.
"Of course, Miss Gledhill blameS
my husband for the whole thing.
She said he ran after her wher-
ever she went 1 do know that he
writes her letters from prison, say
ing he still is madly in love with
her"
Met in Montreal
Mrs. Cornor shrugged indiffer-
emily snd bent over to straighten
Sonny's yellow hair
MY husband first met her in
Montreal He was walking out of
a hotel and he saw Miss Gledhill
walking along the street, crying. My
husband said, What is wrong?' and
she said, Please take me home
Well, he took her home and he's
been chasing her ever since"
Physicians believed Miss Gledhill
took poison and were making
laboratory tests to determine its
nature, though she denied she had
taken anything. She challenged
the doctors, however, to "try to find
OUT what was wrong with her.
Feared Separation
Adjutant Violet Randall of the
Salvation Army, who, with immi-
grafton authorities, question her,
said she was honor bound not to
discuss the case, but said she was
certain Miss Gledhill had not taken
poison.
Police believe Miss Gledhill feared
deportation to Ontario that would
deprive her of her son. Mrs. Cornor
said she had appeared depressed.
After immigration officers and Ad-
jutant Randall left the Cornor
home, Miss Gledhill collapsed. She
was taken to the hospital, her heart
action feeble, her breathing labored.
Miss Gledhill is a descendant of
Sir Robert Peel. She called her son
Sonny Mrs. Cornor called him
Peel"
Cornor, 50, and a consulting en-
gineer, presented Miss Gledhill and
her infant son to his wife two years
ago. When he was convicted and
sent to prison, Miss Gledhill went
to the Cornors' Mineola home to
live. Mrs. Cornor, 48, deeply re-
ligious, is devoted to the child. In
til today, neighborS thought him
Mrs. Cornors son.
Model for Poster
Miss Gledhin was the model some
years ago for the Ski Girl posters
of the Canadian Pacific. She is a
swimmer, a water polo star and the
foremost amateur woman athlete OF
Canada.
At Toronto, immigration officials
said no effort would be made to ex-
clude Miss Gledhill's child from
Canada.
1--WE would not attempt to exclude
the child" chief inspector A. G.
Mitchell said, although, since he
was born in the United States, we
technically would have that right.
OF course, nothing could prevent the
mothers return, since she has not
taken out United States citizenship
papers.
"The only guarantee we would
require would be proof that the
mother or some other responsible
person would care for the child"
