LITTLE EGYPT DIES SUDDENLY
Shocked Audiences at World Fair 1893; Would
 Be Tame Today

Chicago, April 6-(UP)--Mrs. Ar1- drew Spyropoplous, nee Fahreda Mahzar, alias Little Egypt, who shocked worlds fair audiences in 1893 by occasionally displaying an unclad ankle, is dead. But her name, it appeared today, will go on living-at least in show business.
 The little Damascus girl whose original version of the "cootch dance" stole the show at "The Worlds Columbian Exposition" here before the turn of the century died of a heart attack yesterday. She was 63 and to the last indignantly defended her name and her art.
 Had Sued Movie Co.
 Last year she sued Metro Gold wyn-Mayer for $25, 900 because in Q picture she was portrayed as wear ing hardly any clothes. T never danced in the nearly nude" she said. My dance was neither vulgar nor shocking" The suit is pending.
 Little Egypt, however, got much of the blame which moralists att tached to other Little Egypts" who followed her. In the two decades which followed her appearance at the 1893 Worlds fair she was kept busy denying that she was the par- ticular little Egypt who danced in nothing at stag parties and other entertainments here and there.
 Pretty Tame To Others
 Her actual performance at the fair, although it got more atten- ton than all the mechanical mar vels on display, was pretty tame compared to later day "leg shows" She was dressed in voluminous skirts, swayed to the throb of tom- toms and the music of flutes, and only now and ten Tipped her gar- ments enough to expose knee.
 In 1883 Little Egypt attempted a comeback at the Century of Prog ress exposition. But her old act had lost its appeal. The crowds hocked to Sally Rand, the fan dancer.

ing from an Atlantic City hotel who was said to Hook like" Robert Irwin, 29-year-old sculptor wanted in New York in connection with the Gedeon murders.
 The hunt started last night when police were told of the young'man's presence as guest in a cheap hotel on South Virginia avenue. Hotel employees said the youth told them he was from the south. They said he arrived Friday without top coat or baggage.
 The young man left the hotel and did not return last night after the police search started. He left no word with the desk clerk as to where he was going.

the Gedeon apartment the night the crimes were committed, the police declared. It was reported that they had found the weapon with which the lodger, Frank Byrnes, was stabbed.
 Irwin, according to his friends, habitually carried a chiseling in- strument of type commonly used by sculptorS. It was about eight inches long, with a sharp point. Byrnes' wounds at first were be- lieved to have been made by an ice pick.
 Piercing together information furnished by friends, physicians and the authorities of St. Lawrence Unl- versity at Canton, N. Y., who told Irwin that he lacked "the proper character fo rthe ministry" the po- lice believed that the stocky, wavy haired sculptor had sought to re- venge himself on Veronica, 20-year- old artists's moded, and 54-year-old Mrs. Mary Gedeon, because he felt that they had broken up his TO- nance with Ethel, who is now Mrs. Joseph Kudner.
 Infatuated With Ethel commitment to the Rockland state Ethel when he was a roomer with the Gedeons, before his voluntary commitment to the rockland state hospital at Orangeburg, N. Y., where he was a patient intermittent ly from June, 1883, until last July
 Police Commissioner Lewis J.. Valentine said that during the numerous trips he was permitted to make from the asylum to New York Irwin frequently addressed threat ening letters to the GedeonS and on several occasions made annoying appearances" at their home. Valen- tine believed that Veronica and Mrs. Gedeon were marked for death = they were strangled = but that Byr- nes was killed merely because he ap- peared at the apartment before the staying could complete his revenge.
 Mrs. Gedeon was slain shortly after II p. m. Easter eve. The killer threw her body under a bed and waited for Veronica, who was at party with boy friend. Byrnes, a waiter in fashionable club, re- turned home to meet death nec- cessary to prevent discovery of the first crime. Veronica was killed soon after she entered the apart men at a. m., Sunday.
 Woman Doesn't Believe
 Although the police were confi- dent that they needed only to ap- prehend Irwin to solve the crimes, Mrs. Kudner told detectives that she did not believe that he was the type of man who could be guilty of murder.
 Somehow I cannot believe that Irwin is the man who killed my mother and sister" she said. "He doesn't seem to be that kind of a person, in my opinion"
 Dr. Russell E. Blaisdell, superin- tendent of the Rockland hospital, shares Mrs. Kudner's opinion. It would have been psychologically impossible, he said, for Irwin to have remained in the Gedeon apartment during the several hours intervening between the murders, or to have left and returned.
 What Supt. Says
 The superintendent described IT, win as nervous, agitated and subject to fits of remorse. He predicted that
