DETROIT, March 9.-The seven
years from the day Geraldine Ken
yon Bourdue left her husband and
infant daughter in Pontiac until
yesterday when she leaped to her
death from the seventeenth floor of
a downtown Detroit hotel remained
an unsolved puzzle for Detroit in
vestigators today.

igan beauty, who had registered at
the hotel as u. Stoddard" of New
York, lay in the county mopgue
awaiting the claims of relatives.
Her husband, Dan Bourque, auto
motive worker, who lives at Pontiac
with their daughter Rita, s, iden-
tilted the body yesterday. Last
night her father, Ward Kenyon
Battle Creek locomotive engineer
and her mother, Mrs. George Eliot
McKinivan of Detroit, viewed the
body. Her. parents have been sep
arated for 13 years.
Police said Mrs. Bourque's finger
prints corresponded with those of
Rita O'Neil" arrested for investi-
cation in Baltimore in 1898.
William S. Paley of New York,
president of the Columbia Broad
casting System, said he met Miss
Stoddard,' about year ago. He
said she sought his aid, but had no
talent for broadcasting, and that
finally she began writing him letters
saying she had developed an "emo-
tional attachment" for him.
In her room Mrs. Bourque left a
note thanking Paley "for your kind
ness" and processing love for him
It was signed johanna"

of the fair colleen tonight an if
she says yes want to be prepared"
The fire in Mr.. Motkin's eyes in
dicated his hearty approval. "A man
Of action!" he exulted, rubbing his
hands together. "A man who will
not take lady's no for an answer.
Mr.. OMalley, am proud to- know
you. To show you how proud I am
I will give you the absolutely lowest
price. There amt single cent Of
profit in it for me, but-$475. Not a
penny less. Positively not penny"
j.. Three hundred. Mr.. Motkin,"
Jack rumbled relentlessly, maintain
ing his threatening position by the
door. OF course the jeweler would
be perfectly justified if he decided
to throw him out of the store. But
he somehow guessed that this
wouldn't prove the case; that the
jeweler would offer one last COM

OMalley. Absolutely my last price"
Done" Jack agreed hastily. The
ring was probably worth around s275,

personality. in the solid value of its
platinum mounting was embodied

the exquisite beauty of the ring as

not of face or figure, but of character
and soul.
"I'll be goin' Off duty at TO-" he
announced stepping aside to permit
another customer to enter the store,
'I'll be pickin' it up then"
Fine! Fine!' Mr.. Motkin ex-
claimed jovially. moving over to wait
on the new customer. And I want
to congratulate you, Mr.. OMalley.
You're getting real buy. But that's
my policy" he added for the edifica-
ton of the new arrival. "All my
customers receive value for their
money in this store"
I'm glad to hear that" the GUS
toner announced promptly. placing
his leather brief case on the counter.
MY company is interested only in
jewelers. who want to pass real value
on to their customers. Now have
with me this evening some unusually
fine gold plated crosses and chains
which / think :"
Jack stayed to hear no more.
