Boston preceded by less than "A hours the disappearance of the form CTS step-daughter, Starr, whose death is under investigation.
 Walkup to-day confirmed reports of his interview with the Maphattan chemist and indicated that their con versation concerned the girl who left home next day, never to return alive.
 Though the lawyer admitted that during his talk with Faithful the names of several socially and politi- ca1Iy prominent Boston men were in what connection they were dis cussed. Walkup insisted that he was not asked by Faithful to start any legal action in behalf of Starr, and said he knew nothing about a re- ported $25,000 out-of-court settle ment agreement. S
 Walkups partner, Lawrence G. Brooks. has been counsel for Faith full here for the past i've years. Some three months ago he repre- sented MT and Mrs Faithfulk in a civil suit based en an automobile ac- cident.
 Boston police, conducting an in dependent investigation of Stars s death at the request of District-At- torney Elyin N. Edwards of New York, was admitted to Charming San itarium at Wellesley for 10 days ob- servation~ in April, 1925.
 The records of the Massachusetts State Department of Mental Diseases showed that nine days after her ad- mittance she was discharged as not mentally .deranged.
 Francis Peabody Hamlin, grand son of General Francis Peabody and cruise director of the Cupard Steam ship company here, who was ques- tioned by District Attorney Edwards in Boston Wednesday, was reported to-day to have gone to New York, presumably to cooperate in the in- vestigation of his friend Starr's death.
 After his interview with Edwards, Hamlin issued statement volun- teering to go to New York if nec- essary to help solve the mystery.
 Police Superintendent Michael H. Crowley of Boston said to-day he did not anticipate any immediate de- velopments in the case at this end, but promised to cooperate whenevi possible with the New York investi- gators.

Brother Protests
 Sisters Divorce
Appears as Unexpected Witness in SamsOlis
 Case To-day

An unexpected climax developed in one of the divorce actions being tried before Judge Frank P. Me- Evoy in superior court this morn ing when brother of one of the woman plaintiffs appeared, unan- nounced, and took the witness stand much to the surprise of everyone involved. Judge McFvoy had just announced {. that he would reserve decision on the uncontested action of Mrs Victoria (Samolis) Walsh or Welch against Francis Walsh or Welch, when the young man stepped to the bench and asked permission to say something.
 Judge McEvoy granted the re- quest and the young man who said his name is Victor Samolis, brother of the petitioner, and he went to the witness stand. It could not be ascertained from his testimony just what his object was, but 1t seemed he objected to the granting of the divorce. He admitted having had several quarrels with his sister and said his sister saw her husband as late as last Easter when he came to Waterbury from New York. He said they were all attending a party on Long Hill road and that his sis- ter was kissing her husband and acting as though very much in love.
 Victor said he did not know where his sister and her husband spent that night because he occu- pied the same room with the peti- tioner's baby. He said they went together to New York and spent a week there.
 He admitted under examination by Attorney Edward F.. Sweeney that he attempted to beat up his sisters husband after a dance one night in Waterbury, but that his sister interfered. He also admitted the reason was because the husband was calling his sister vile names
 The petitioner, formerly an .ac- tress with a stock company had previously testified to brutal treat ment sustained at the hands of her husband. She brought the action on grounds of cruelty. She showed a scar over her left eye which she said was inflicted by her husbands fists. She also stated that his ac- tions caused her to lose her position with a theatrical company in Mil waukee. They were married, she said, on January 3, 1923. She called attention to one incident in which she said her husband threatened her life with revolver.
 Victor said he and the petitioner were born in the old country and that he helped pay her way across to this country.
 After Victor left the witness stand, Judge McEvoy announced he would reserve decision.
