Q.N.SO.-I never thought I would
see the inside of a jail I did
and in a strange way, as one Of
those questioned in connection
with the killing of Helen Clev-
enger.
am glad to be free, although
of course, there was never any
fear in my mind that I would be
kept in custody. I did all I could
for Mark WGllner because he is an
innocent man. When I was in high
school I visited the county Jail in
company with everal girl friends.
1t was just our curiosity which
prompted us to make this visit.
We wanted to see what a Jail
looked like. I never realized then
that some day l myself would be
IN the same Jail for four days and
four nights.

have no theory as to who com.
mitted this terrible crime. The
more read about what happened
IN the Battery Park hotel that
night the more complicated and
weird the case seems. Who could
have had the heart to kill a girl
like Miss Clevengerr, who prob
ably did not have an enemy in
the world?
My little jail experience illus
trates onH thing, namely, that
any person, no matter how limo
cent. might become involved in
a major crime that attracts ma.
tion-wide interest.

1t just happened that Mr.. Woll-
ner was roomer in my mothers
home and I had known him II
months. I am an admirer of VIC
lin music. 1 play the violin my
self. attended his concerts and
also listened to his radio perform
ance because 1 recognized that
he is a great artist.
I knew that on the night Miss
CleVenger was slain that Mr.. Woll-
ner was in his room in our home.
I had talked to him on our front
porch from $50 to 1l30 p. m.
He retired at that hour. went
to my room and read myself to
sleep. In the morning, about 8
o'clock, mother made Mr.. Wollner
a cup of ccoffee when he got up.
He had not been out of the house
that night, we knew.
I could not in justice to my con-
science do anything but defend
Mr.. Wollner against the suspicion
and innuendo directed against
him. I certainly did not want to
stand by idly while an innocent
man, a victim of gossip, was held
in prison. His release proved
that I was right.

have had her room in mind
or got into it by mistake. She was
the victim.
Who that culprit was I do not

COOKING HINTS

1nez S. Wilson, home economist,
gives these hints for adding va
rlety in meat cooking:
l In cooking pork chops. rub
skillet first with a cut Glove of
garlic. This does not give a garlic
flavor, but, instead. it gives a
famt suspicion of something dif-
terent which cannot be defined.
2. In preparing a meat loaf,
have a slice or two Of liver ground
with the meat. This adds a deli
clouS flavor.
3. In preparing a bread dressing
dice and brown bacon together
With the onion before adding to
bread crumbs. Moisten and season
the dressing as usual. The bacon
and onion Drowned together add
a splendid flavor.
4. In broiling ham. dot with
small amount of peanut butter
and allow to melt into the ham
before serving.

Panbroiling Advocated
Best results are obtained bv
ran-broiling bacon, by placing a
single layer IN a cold skillet, turn
ing the heat on low, and allowing
1t to cook slowly until the bacon
is crisp and golden brown. The
fat is poured off as it accumulates
so that the bacon will panbroil
not fry.
In cooking bacon for a large

to use the oven or the broiler. Law
