Hunt Witness Reported
To Have Seen Her

NEW YORK, Sept. "a d.N.s0.
A witness who saw a woman lurk-
ing behind a parked car near the
spot about the time George o.
Frank, stock teller, was shot to
death, was hunted by homicide
detectives today.
I'VE know who the man is and
I've ordered him picked up" said
District Attorney Geoghan as he
confidently moved to press a
murder charge against Gertrude
O'Keefe, 39-year-old bank Secre-
tary whom Frank Tilted.
LIKES LIMELIGHT
The teller's body, a bullet In
the back of his head, was found
in the gutter near Miss O'Keefe'S
Brooklyn home early Tuesday
morning.
Miss O'Keefe today appeared al
most to revel in the limelight.
Asked by photographers to pose,
she smiled and said:
IT must be getting famous"
Samuel Leibowitz, famous crimi-
nal lawyer, was retained to de-
fend the woman, who will be
given a hearing tomorrow.
Meanwhile, the blonde concert
harpist for whom Frank Tilted
the typist glared at photographs
of the woman she supplanted
and pledged her aid in bringing
her betrothed's slayer to justice.
FIANCEE QUESTIONED
Only an interval Of a few min
utes kept the women from meet
ing face to face. Hardly had Miss
O'Keefe been whisked from the
office Of District Attorney Goghan
daughter of a Lowell (Mass0
dentist, was led into the prose
cutor'S office.
Miss Donohue said she had
heard Frank discuss Miss O'Keefe
only as a casual friend-never as
a one-time fiancee to whom he
wrote 178 passion-filled letters.
PLEDGES HER AID
George was one of the finest
men rye ever met Miss Dono-
hue told Goghan. II don't be-
lieve he would wrong any
woman. I want to see his muir.
dered punished and I'll do every
thing in my power to bring it
about"
Although the murder gun has
not been found and the case
against her thus far is only Cir
cumstantial, Miss O'Keefe,, fatty
denying the killing, was taken to
Brooklyn's felony court, where she
was held without bail on a charge
of homicide. She also was held
on a charge of possessing gun
a weapon which has been def.
nitely excluded as the death in
strument.

OFFICIALS BLAMED
Hysterical, she denied all knowl-

Max Dormoy, minister of the

A Soviet vessel which departed

the disappearance of the men.
Fears were expressed they had
been "shanghaied" to face punish

Few players in Vests place would

gain entry to dummy, and at the
same time to try establishment of
the long club suit, declarer led the
9 of clubs. East played low. So
did dummy. West ruffed, leaving
him the same number of trumps as
declarer.
West put dummy in with a
heart, and declarer let go both his
clubs, to prevent West from again
ruffing that suit. The Ace of dia-
monds was led. Then a low dia-
mond was led, giving West his Sec

held only trumps and diamonds, as

ultimately to be surrendered to

7. Frank Dobie, the author. So
wildly does he spin tales of lost
gold and buried treasure that
people feel he must be sort of
human divining rod. One treasure
hunter, claiming that he could
dream the exact location of gold
if he could sleep near it, offered
to strike a bargain with the
author Dobie was to supply
the approximate location OF lost
boards - and the dreamer would
find them in his sleep.
When Mr.. Dobie isn't hunting
tales of buried treasure he is
tracking down the legends Of his

tales Of a creature that plays a
prominent role in many of these
legends. Don't miss:

there were no motors then.
His father followed silver min

Wallace went to Cripple Creek,
and that winter the town burned
to the ground. He served as
one of the boy deputy shen9s,

instead of the sombreness of an empty

To those friends of bride-to-be

out for every one will be our driving
away somewhere by ourselves and
simply getting married. But one thing

all our lives and, in addition to our

we care for, and who also, we believe,
care for us. So we wonder whether you
can suggest anything that we can in

In answer to this, it seems to me
that the same gathering of people
whom you are thinking of inviting

are thinking of, yet would be really
everything that a wedding ought to
be. First of all, invite those whom you
see every day or so, verbally, and
write notes to the others saying: Dear
Cousin Jane, Jim and are to be mar
ried here at home on Saturday the
Tenth Of April at four o'clock and of
course we want you and Cousin Henry
to come. Affectionately, Mary"
AS for wedding clothes: don't think
Of them as fancy dress costumes to be
worn once and never again. Your own
dress could be the simplest sort of
semi-evening dress that you would get
to wear to whatever evening parties
you go to. Ivory white is usually more
becoming than chalk white; but in any
case my personal advice is to choose
material which can be dyed another
color afterwards - this merely in case
you happen to prefer colored clothes
rather than white
A two-yard square of tulle put on
cornerwise, with the top corner cut
out in crescent shape and gathered
around the back of diadem Tor
wreath, or other headdress), the side
corners falling as they are and the bot
tom one cut around, makes an entirely
charming veil. White, or possibly sill
yer slippers are necessary, but gloves
need not be thought of.
At simple wedding the men of the
bridal party may properly wear dark
blue sack suits, white shirts, with
either wing or starched turn-down COL
lars, blue and white ties and white
flowers in buttonholes. 1t is important
that the clothes of the groom and his
attendants be as nearly as possible
alike, but it is quite all right that
Fathers clothes be different. His dark
est business suit. of either blue or grey,
will look quite all right.
As for Mothers dress whatever she
would wear to church this summer
anyway, or whatever she might get
new that would be useful as well as
becoming, will be perfect. And Sister,
in any simple summer frock with few
flowers to hold in her hand, would
complete picture that no bride could
feel disappointing.
And now only two details remain -
decoration of the house, and food. For
the first. use few sheaves of flowers
or branches in effective places. Usually
this means at about head height. If
you have no high stands, preserve jars
disguised with vines or leaves and fas-
tened to wires suspended from the pic
ture molding will solve the problem.
And food. The following items are
literally all that anyone who loves
either the bride or the groom will
expect, or want: Item l Something
cold in which to drink the brides and
groom's health - it really does not
matter whether it be champagne or a
cup made of fruit juices. or ginger ale!
Item 2: A piece of wedding cake to
taste and to dream on.
And now come to the story of a
wedding that was not only delightful,
but has in it an idea that is both
practical and new. An intimate friend
found out that. believing a wedding
impossible, a certain young couple had
made arrangements to be married in
an empty church. At the hour set they
drove up alone and went into the
vestry. where the clergyman was wait
ing. II hope you won't mind, he said.
but few of your friends who love
you wanted so much to be present,
and hadn't the heart not to let them
