BY THOMAS r. CULLEN
NEW YORK, Dec. 16. GN.S0-
'Inside Job" was the police
theory of Violet Sharpe's connec.
tian with the Lindbergh case, and
this idea caused the relentless
cross.examination that preceded
the tragic suicide Of the servant
girl.
Subsequent events bore out the
accuracy Of the statement MADE
bv her concerning her movements
the day of March l, 1882, date OF
the kidnaping of infant Llndy.
Violet Sharpe was born in BerK'
shire, England, % years before
this crime occurred.
Hired BY Mrs. Morrow
Coming to America by way OF q
short stay in Canada, she Sougnt
employment in New York. Ihrougn
a domestic servants employment
agency she was hired by MRS;
dwight w. Morrow, mother OF
Anne Morrow Lindbergh.
She worked at the Morrow
estate in Englewood, N. j. as a
waitress for about three years
preceding the tragic KIDNAPPING AZ
Hopewen. 4no
With other servants OF the
T,indbereh and Morrow families
She was questioned by the ponce
shortly after the baby disappeared
49, ,1o+ until some months later
was she severely grilled ABOUT
her activities on March l.
She told the police she had been
to a moving picture show WIN
Young man whose name she dlo
not know. Neither could she give
them the names of the couple VINO
accompanied her and her boy
friend"
Bore Up Under Quiz
Later she admitted she had not
gone to the movies, and sald sne
had been to a roadhouse and hao
something to drink.
For hour after hour she was
piled with questions, but bore up.
This was repeated from time to
time.
Finally the police showed her
a photograph OF a young man
from White Plains. N. Y. His
name was Ernest Brinkert, and
the police said they found his
card in her room. Then she
identified him as the one she
accompanied the night Of March l..
After this admission Brinkert
was found, but through many
hours Of grilling denied knowing
Violet or having been out with
her.
Meanwhile Scotland Yard was
tracing the history of Miss
Sharpe, and checking the details
of her past life.
Had IrOnclad AIibi
Brinkert had an ironclad alibi.
On the night he was said to have
been with Violet Sharpe, he
proved he was in Bridgeport,
Conn. Other statements made by
him to the police were found to
be true, too
Police were convinced he had
no connection with this crime,
and decided to talk to the servant
girl again. She was informed in
advance they were on their way,
She had been showing increaS-
ing nervousness about the police
visits, and this state appeared to
make the police feel she had
guilty knowledge of the kidnap-
ing.
Her nervous condition undoubt-
edly came from her dread Of the
persistent interrogation.
Whatever the reason, she alone
could give the answer, but she
sealed her lips.
On the arrival of the police she
walked into the buffers pantry
and swallowed a dose Of poison.
Shortly afterward she was pro-
nounced dead.

Doctors Give Creosote
For Dangerous Coughs

For many years our best doctors have
prescribed creosote in some form for
coughs, colds and bronchitis, knowing
how dangerous it is to lei them hang on.
Creomulsion with creosote and six
other highly important medicinal ele
ments, quickly and effectively stops all
coughs and colds that otherwise might
lead to serious trouble.
Creomulsion is powerful in the treat
ment Of all colds and coughs no matter
how long standing, yet it is absolutely
harmless and is pleasant and easy TO take.
Your own druggist guarantees Greco
mulsion by refunding your money if you
are not relieved after taking Creomul-
sion as directed. Beware the cough or
cold that hangs on. Always keep Greco
muIsion on hand for instant use. (adv.l

Events in Order
for House Guest
Two Ways of Entertaining
the Visitor Within
Homes Portals.

There are two ways of entertain
Ing house guests. One is with a sue
cessi0n of events, whereby they will
be kept occupied. The other is to
let them become, for the time being,
q part Of the family, entering into
the usual regime of the household,
and taking its daily life, with per-
haps a few extras in the way of en-
t~ertainments, not as an outsider, but
a close friend. When guests are
asked for a weekend, continual So
cial events are often planned. 1t Is
a holiday period for most families as
well as guests. 1t Is when there are
mid-week house guests, or those who
are making rather prolonged visits,
that continual festivities may be tir-
ing to friends and family alike.
To be permitted to enter into the
life of a family as one of it Is q com
pliment to be desired as much rs to
be considered an outsider for whom
one must do special things. Like all
things, however, there is "a happy
medium" For example, a hostess
should arrange enough entertainment
to introduce high lights into the visit.
Are cards liked? An evening of this
game or an afternoon, can be
planned, whereby the visitor will
meet and be met by congenial per,
sons. A tea, large or small, to meet
the friend, gives opportunity for be-
coming more or less acquainted &C
cording to the size Of the tea and it's
formality OF informality. Then, too,
friends of the hostess generally plan
some reciprocal entertainments for
visiting guests.
A theater party which may con-
sist of the family with but one or
two others may prove just the sort
Plentywood herald. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1908-current, 1933-02-09

of entertainment pleasing to family
and friend alike. Or driving to some
especially beautiful or notable part
of the country and having tea there
can give the guest a glimpse Of the
surroundings which will be carried
away as a happy memory to visual
ize.
1t is a mistake to so strain at en-
pertaining that the pleasure of visit
ing with the guest is lost TO the hos
tess. After all, friends Gene to see
and enjoy the family. or else they
are but casual acquaintances. For a
guest to realize or to discover chat
her visit was a tax on her hostess
robs the time of its happy aspect.
Unless there are plenty of servants
in a household where continual en-
tertafniIig is going on, the homemak-
er's energies are drained, and the
visitors nervous system alike. There
are OCCASIONAL gala periods when
house guests and family reyel in q
series of festivities. A few days of
rest and relaxation are necessary aft
TO MAXI the balance right
and restore normal times. ~
