Stanly Faithful, who, with
his wife, Helens and step
daughter, Tucker, are giving
the United Press exclusive
data on the career of the girl,
insist that murder was done.
The girl was not a drug flend,
but, according to their story, a man
who debauched her as a child Of
II years taught her to like ether.
This man, as they related to the
United Press Monday, had the girl
read him passages from sex works
Of Havelock Ellis, and nlaltreated
her SO that upon reaching young
Womanhood she was warped crea-
ture of conflicting emotions and
strange moods.
Charmed by Ether
zone day I was cleaning gloves
with ether" Stanley Faithful, her
stepfather, told the United Press.
THE girl Slnelled it and commented,
oh, I love that"
This strange ecstasy was re-
suit. he believed, of the etherizing
practice of the man who is de-
scribed as the father OF several
children, prominent in his home
community, and supposedly a man
with a reputation above reproach.
Liquor, too, had weird effects
u,aon the girl. who in her normal
moments was said to be charming,
fastidious and captivating" to all
with whom she came in contact.
II violence was done her, as sus-
uected. it would mark the second
time this year that she had been
the victim Of a brute. In March
she was taken to Bellevue hospital,
dazed and badly bruised. The man
who brought her said he was her
husband, and there had been a
registration in a midtown hotel OF
q Joseph Collins and wife.
Doping Is Suspected
He was a short blonde man.
Faithful has O theory that he may
be a man whom Starr met some
time ago through a shipping friend,
but he has nothing tangible on
which to go.
Faithful pictured his stepdaugh-
ter as a girl of real refinement and
culture, but subject to much intro
spection and to dark moods, which,
he claims, were the result Of the
maltreatment of the man who
crossed her youthful path.
She liked men, and had many
friends. But Faithful, wishing to
clear the girl of some aSpersions in
the press, holly denies that she
was promiscuous or that her COM
panions were other than gentlemen.
Pays $4,000 to Family
The United Press today saw a
fac silnile copy of a release OF claim
the Faithfulls are alleged to have
signed after receiving $4,000 when
they sought reimbursement for out
lays made to doctors on account OF
STAIRS state.
The United Press also had an in
sight into a mem" book the girl
kept while she was a student IN
Rogers Hall, an exclusive school in
Massachusetts. This book had a
part of a page devoted to an alleged
trip she made with man and
named several hotels at which, she
wrote. they had stayed. Faithful
has checked on this alleged journey
and believes it was part OF the NAL
treatment he charged.
Starr had done much travelling
The girl once wrote her mother or
stationery of the Savoy hotel II
