thing which he feared was inev- itable.
 "something tremendously import ant and something which I've been hoping could be avoided is going to take place at Mineola in the morn ing" were the words he was quoted as uttering. T can't tell you any more about it now."
 If the gray-haired chemical man. ufacturer was referring to a devel- opment he anticipated in the grand jury hearing, he apparently was mis- taken about the time, for the next session will not be held until Tues day.
 The grand jury session of yester- day was perhaps bit disappointing to the sensation-seekers who clust- cred about the courthouse at Mine- ola and in front of the once-aristo- cratic residence in which the Faith full family live a few doors away from Mayor James J. Walker. From the witnesses who were called there seemed to have come no clue re- garding the young woman's possible slayers, and the testimony was gen. erally not of any startling nature.
 Several new sides to the mystery enhanced interest today, however, and set investigators working on fresh leads that may lead to import ant developments.
 Inspector King assigned twenty men to begin search this morning of the shore and sewers from Allan tic Beach westward for 35 miles on a chance of finding Miss Faithfuli's missing clothing or possibly some other bit of evidence in the region where her body was discovered last Monday morning by a beachcomber.
 From a man who described him. self as an intimate friend of. the Faithful family came other infor- nation bearing on Starr's peculiari- ties. The man, whose name was withheld, said Miss Faithful had been under care of a neurologist quite recently and that her family had been told her case bordered on paranoia.
 "She was a narcissist," he was quoted as saying. "Three-quarters of her waking hours were occupied with thoughts of her own physical appearance. In many respects she had the mentality of a 12-year-o girl. Her instability brought trouble to everyone who had anything to do with her."
 The informant explained that Starr's many tnfatuations with men of various ages and stations in life had left her without any unusual admiration for any of them except one, and over this one she was said to have brooded constantly
 The man in question was said to have been Dr G. Jameson Carr, ships surgeon on the Cunard liner. Franconia - the liner from which it was necessary to remove her re- gently as it was sailing for Europe.
 Dr Carr, now on vacation in Europe while the Franconia is being remodeled at its Liverpool pier, was said by other persons to have been close friend of Starr. The com mander of the liner knew of no ac- quaintance, however, that Starr had made among his officers.
 The surgeon was understood to be travelling in Belgium. No official effort has been made to reach him for possible questioning.
 Many stories of the girls despond' ent turn of mind continued to reach New York investigators, the latest being one from London. A United Press cable quoted a physician who once attended her as saying he had treated her for an overdose of all lonal taken with suicidal intent. De- tectives here also learned of a let ter which she was supposed to have written saying she "had nothing to live for"
