Vanderbilt
Testimony

NEW YORK, Oct. 4 G.N.SO.
Hollywood trimmings were added
to the knock down-drag-out fight
being waged over the custody of
1O-year-old Gloria Vanderbilt to-
day when glamorous Constance
Bennett offered to leave the bed
side of her ailing Marquis
husband to fly over plains and
mountains to the defense of her
friend, Mrs. Gloria Morgan
Vanderbilt.
With additional charges prom
ised for tomorrow when the
habeas corpus proceeding brought
by Mrs. Vanderbilt will be re-
sumed before Supreme Court
Justice Carew, the screen star
swung right and left against
"thoSe responsible for the vile
and low stories being told in
court"
Meanwhile her brother, her
titled twin sister and a royal
friend of Mrs. Vanderbilt pre-
pared to hasten here to deny
inter-clan charges that she is
unfit to mother her daughter.
MarchiOness To Aid
The Marchioness Of Milford
Haven, wife of the cousin of Eng
lands king, will sail Saturday with
Lady Furness, twin of the 29-year.
old mother, and Harry Hays Nor
gan, her brother.
They will testify for Mrs. Van
derbilt.
Upon her arrival from abroad
with her husband, the Marquis de
Ia Falaise de la Coudray, Miss
Bennett fumed and ragged over the
developments in the blue-blood
feud. She exclaimed.
81 am at a loss for words with
which to condemn the utterly
foul attacks on my friend. 1t
Is absolutely impossible for these
stories to be anything but lies"
Nothing will stand in my way
if 1 am needed to tell the true
story about Mrs. Vanderbilt"
Calls Her Fine Mother
What irritated Miss Bennett
most apparently was the attempt
to show that Mrs. Vanderbilt is
not a capable custodian of her
own child. She said:
Mrs. Vanderbilt is really g
fine, responsible mother.
IF the people responsible for
the witnesses really had the
welfare of the child at heart
they would not permit the lies
that have been told to be
made public in Oren court.
The child should be protected
from the kind of nOtOriety re-
sulting from the hearing"
Mrs. Vanderbilt, located in a
midtown hotel today, denied she
is in hiding.
Holds Her Fire
She said she intends to reserve
her defense ammunition until she
takes the witness stand, adding:
II have plenty to say, but 1
will not say it until l have the
opportunity to speak in open
court.
II have been made the victim
of lies, simply because l have
asked for something any other
decent mother worthy of the
name would ask for, the right
to my own child"
Just what will be Mrs. Van.

charges made from the witness

personal maid-the society ma

 But his superior skill in track ling makes even the most ferocious beast an easy prey. At last he de- eides that what he needs is not new weapon, but a new animal to rejuvenate h7s single passion, the lust for hunting.
 He turns his island into a hunt ing domain aon which he sets ship wrecked and shaffghaied sailors free with hunting knife to de- fend themselves--and then tracks them down and kills them like animals.
 On this fantastic island the eoung American is forced into an Edutdoor game of chess with death gs the penalty for a false. move and glorious woman as the prize for suecess.
