LOS ANGELES, Jan. 17.-Details
of the private life of Clara Bow were
written into the records of Los An
geles county today in words as fam
ing as her famous red hair.
Daisy De Voc, the screen stars
former secretry, had promised she
would tell all' when called upon
to testify at her grand theft trial
and she kept her word.
Among the things Miss De Voc
charged with appropriating Miss
Bows money to her own use, re-
vealed, we're:
Clara paid $4,000 for an en-
gagement ring every one thought
one Of her men friends had given
her.
Liquor Bills Ran High
She bought $4,000 watch and
locket for DR.. Earl Pierson, young
Texas physician.
She favored Harry Richman, New
York night club king, with $4,000
diamond-studded watch.
She celebrated the birthday of
Lotnar Mendes, film director, by CIV
ing him a~S900 star sapphire ring.
Clara's hair was not red when she
was a little girl in Brooklyn, but
Daisy made it that way by using
liberal applications of henna.
The stars liquor bills ran into big
figures.
Clara loves to gamble and her
losses sometimes were very large.
After Miss De Woe had expanded
on many of her declarations, Judge
William c. Doran recessed the trial
until Monday, when Miss De Voc
will continue her recital.
Miss De Voc sat forward in the
witness chair and looked intently
at Nathan o. Freedman, her young
attorney, as he questioned and she
answered.
She was working in Hollywood
studio as a hairdresser about two
years ago when she met Miss Bow
and received the offer of job as
the film stars secretary at salary
Of SIS a week, she said.
Writes all the Checks
what were your duties in your
position?" her attorney asked.
My duties were to take care OF
all bills and not to bother her with
them because she never wanted
anything to do with bills Daisy
replied.
Il was to write all checks, make
payments on the mortgage on her
house and lot, pay all salaries, in
Guiding my own and her fathers,
and pay all Of her liquor bills. I
had to bleach her hair and then
lenna it, give her manicures and
take the lines out of her face so
she could appear before the cam
era"
Miss De Voc declared she paid
for liquor many times and recalled
one bill which was about $275."
"She liked to play poker, and we
would stay at home just in order to
do that as much as six times week
when she wasn't working on a pic
ture," Miss De Voc said
The former secretary said she
paid off when Clara lost, and re-
membered debts ranging from IS to
5000. Miss Bow never paid the
debts herself, Daisy declared.
Clara Not in Court
did you ever pay debts outside
of the city?" asked Freedman.
Eyes" Miss De Voc answered. ST
paid debts in New York, Texas and
Calneva."
Miss Bow was not in court to hear
herself described as being extremely
careless with money and inclined to
scold Daisy for keeping things
straight
Whenever she would find me at
work on the check stubs, she would
grab them and strew them on the
floor" Daisy told the jury with just
trace of a pout
"She would tell me there were
other things she wanted me to do,
and not to waste time on such
foolishness."
