nor, while her boy friend, Burton
Livermore, took the role of De-
mond, and the couple took the
solemn VOWS of holy matrimony.
And to make the matter just a
little more complicated, Eleanor
attended the nuptials as witness,
and signed the witness book Mar
garet Verreau."
TROUBLE STARTS
All was well until notice of the
marriage was published, and
friends started congratulating
Demond On the nuptials and ask
ing when they were going to meet
his bride.
Demond insisted he was not
married, hut his friends scoffed
at this, referring him to the notice
that the nuptials had been per
formed.
Being a brideless groom sort of
irritated Demond, and he started
an investigation. Sure enough,
there was his name on the register
Realizing from Demond's pro-
tests thai there was something
wrong, city authorities started
their own investigation, and ii
nally the truth came out.
So now Margaret, Eleanor AMI
Burton must appear in court and
explain just why they committed
forgery, perjury and number of
other violations of the law. And
the court must also decide who
Is married-if any one.

took the priests advice to surren-
der. He now pleads to be allowed
to die in the electric chair.
For two weeks before he slew
Miss Joyce at the door of her
apartment, Bellinger had planned
the crime, according to police.
The couple met while working
in an advertising agency. They
fell in love and became engaged.
Then Miss Joyce. daughter Of
Edward T. Joyce, lawyer and for
mer assistant city corporation
counsel, told him she wouldn't t
marry him.
Bellinger and Miss Joyce met on
subsequent occasions, but her
answer was always the same.
The young advertising man &C.
companied her from a tavern to
the building in which she resides,
trailed her up the stairs and shot
her through the back of the head.

heireSS.
Although he had been sched-
uled to leave Venice this morning
the count remained here and sent
a telephone message to his wife
in her hotel suite.
From his subsequent irritation,
it was assumed that she had deSi
clined to see him, leading friends
Of both the count and countess
to express the opinion that a re-
conciliation will not materialize.
Yesterday, the couple engaged
in a series of talks that assumed
the character of virtual diplo-
matte negotiations.
An Englishman named William
Vessel appeared to be playing the
role 0of honest broker" in these
negotiations. Vessel apparently is
a friend of the count. Unless the
countess soon changes her mind,
it is expected the count will
shortly depart for Budapest.

STOLE MY WIFE,
ASSAILANT SAYS
after GIVING UP
GoverneSS Declares
Mate Is Insane

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 20 G.N.SJ
Shot down in a dramatic street
scene, Mrs. Emita Mccormick
Kruger, wealthy Chicago society
matron and wife of Karl Kreuger
internationally famous orchestra
conductor, was near death today
Charles E. Mcdonald, estranged
husband of Mrs. Frances McDon
aid, a governess in the Kruegel
home, surrendered to police in con
nection with the shooting. He
mistakenly believed. police said
that Mrs. Kruger had advised
Mrs. Mcdonald to divorce him.
WOUNDED THREE TIMES
Mrs. Kruger, 38-year-old great
granddaughter of Robert McCor.
mick, the inventor of the reaper
and founder of the multi-million-
aire Chicago family, was wounded
in the right side, the right leg
and right arm.
Mcdonald. police said, drove his
car alongside Mrs. Krueger's au-
tomobile as the latter was parked
on busy Hollywood Boulevard, wait
ing for ner daughter who was at
tending dancing school.
When Mrs. Krueger saw him,
she jumped out of the car and
started to flee across the crowded
sidewalk. Mcdonald, witnesses told
authorities, fired one shot and she
dropped to the sidewalk.
He then stood over her, police
alleged, and fired two more shots.
Several hours later, he surren-
dered to his lawyer, William Bron-
sten, who turned him over to po-
lice.
Mcdonald, a 29-year-old electri-
clan, was booked on a charge of
assault with intent to commit
murder. He was quoted by officers
as saying:
"Mrs. Kruger was always try
ing to get my wife away, telling
her she had great ability. My
wife would say she was going to
a doctor and then I would find
out that Mrs. Krueger was tax
ing her to shows and dinners.
GIVEN BANK ACCOUNT
my wife recently told me
Mrs. Kruger had opened bank
account for her. She had been
working for Mrs. Kruger off
and on, and last June she went
back to work for her as gov
erneSS.
II always came second. Every
thing in our life was Mis-. Krue-
ger this and Mrs. Krueger that.
But Mrs. Krueger gasped out:
Mcdonald was inSanely jeal-
Gus. He was a trouble maker"
Mrs. Krueger is a cousin of Har-
old F. Mccormick, of Chicago and
Santa Barbara, and a niece of the
late Robert Sanderson McCor-
mick, who during his career,
served as American Ambassador to
Russia, France and Austria.
Her husband was once Conduc-
tor of the Imperial Opera IN
Vienna, but gave up the post and
came to America IL years ago,
when he took charge of the Seat
tie Symphony Orchestra. He con-
tinued to conduct in Seattle, at in
tervals conducting olchestras in
Philadelphia, Vienna, Hollywood
and Kansas City.
Mrs. Mcdonald told police how
Mrs. Kruger became the inno-
cent victim of a domestic quarrel
in which the victim bad no part.
II recently filed a divorce suit
against my husband" the gov
erness explained. HE filed y
croSs-complaint in which ne de-
clared my affections were being
allenated by Mrs. Kruger. That
was not true, of course.
II honestly believe He Is
crazy"
