guish began yelling
The publicity-My Lord the publicity He
doesn't want any publicity! Get her away
from here and he'll forget the whole thing
Miss Bellamy promptly yelled back:
Fine Let's just get me away from here!"
She repeated the proposal to the first po-
liceman who arrived but he vetoed it on
practical grounds remarkng:
Madam, them shots has been heard all
over the hill
So the law took over and Immediately
they were heard all over the country as well.
Calling at his luxurious Pacific Avenue
apartment police found Mr.. Murphy wearing
a smoking jacket sitting with his wife and
in general looking as though he hadn't been
out for a week.
No, he said, he did not wish 10 press
charges and no. he had idea why Miss
Belamy should have blazed away at him,
although. he admitted guardedly he had
known her for a number Of years.
His bride said nothing on this occasion, and
since then has been in complete retirement.
Miss Bellamy, on the other hand, has been
constantly on the go During her various
appearances, on the witness stand, off the
witness stand out on bail she has spread
out the why's and wherefores of her conduct
Il never believed it was possible for me
to love anyone as 1 loved that man." she de-
ClaTed. we ndd Deen gong together IoT
five years and he had kept telling me he
would marry me as soon as he got divorce.
He's handsome" she added pensvely, but
he has a red nose"
In 1899, Murphy and his then wife. Hazel,
were divorced But the marriage Miss Bell
amy had been expecting did not occur.
About. six months ago, he called me on
long distance at my mothers ranch in South
em California Madge said. HE told me he
was going to get married-but not TO me,
1 told him fatty 1 just can't take that"
I'm June l came to San Francisco and
began looking for him. A few days ago l
read that he had married this model"
She kept walking past his apartment look
ing up at the windows. When she saw some
lilies there she knew that the newlyweds
were back.
There were twelve little lilies" she said
Il thought "A man who had just come home
from his honeymoon ought to buy his wife
better flowers than that"
II tried to reach him and couldn't" she
went on Then called his first wife and
told her about the lilies We cried together.
She said she'd rather see him married to me
than to the model l told her l was going
home next day"
Instead, she got hold of the revolver, which
gave me some strange comfort. thought

If my grief got too great I'd do something
TO tighten the load on me-some act Of vio-
lence-like shooting the tires on a car"
The bunch that led her to the Pacific Union
Club fortunately saved her from doing any
thing as awful as that.
The suggestion that her shots had been
intended for Mr. Murphy's chassis rather than
his cars outraged Miss Bellamy. Philpott pot
shots never miss.
Why" she said proudly, Il learned TO
shoot from the hip when was kid in Texas
I'm good enough shot to enter contests and
shoot ducks and bats and things
Il knew what l was doing when l shot at
the door of his car didn't want TO hit him
or even break the glass. l just wanted to
scare the living daylights out of him and
boy, I sure did,
Her final remark, that "he is a proud man,
who fears public opinion gave the more
literary among her audience the idea that
her third shot, still unbound, might have hit
Mr.. Murphy in his mythical Achilles heel, in
other words his aversion TO publicity.
BE that as it may, from a legal point Of
view, the case is flop. Mr.. Murphy persisted
in his refusal TO press charges, indeed, just up
and disappeared at one of the hearings. The
state reduced the stature Of the action from
that of a felony TO misdemeanor and Madge
pleaded guilty to a violation of the gun law.
Judge Morris sentenced her to six months
IN jail then suspended sentence putting her
on a years probation with the warning that
she must hold herself in check"
Meanwhile everyone is agreed that She
never appeared to better advantage even
when she was playing in that heartbreaking
silent screen epic, Bertha, the Sewing Ma
chine Girl"
Deep in retirement perhaps dropping
little like the twelve little lilies June Dibblc
Amy Murphy can scarcely help but be draw
ing parallels between the present and the past.
That past really got going back in 1927,
on the day Fred Amy opened some mail adj
dressed TO his recently deceased wife, the fabu-
lousy wealthy ex.Lady Michelham. An invi
tation to a Patou dress-showing stared up at
him. In a sentimental mood, remembering
the time when he and his lost love had at
tended such affairs together, he decided to go.
Four days later he was married again. It
happened with the inevitability of sunrise He
had seen June Dibble, career-minded daughter
OF a British general modelling a Patou decol-
letage he had asked her TO dinner; he had
told her the story of his life.
How he had wrenched himself from the
bosom of his prosperous Eastern family how
he had worked as a fireman, then an engineer
O on a railroad, how he had gone west and be-

come a cowboy, how he had escorted a rodeo
TO England and there won the heart of the
widowed Lady Michelham, who on her death
had left him 10000 OoO-all that he poured
into Junes pretty ears
After which, as man and wife they came
back to America and spent the S50.O0O00o.
When il was all gone Mr.. Amy invited
two Of his best male friends to cocktails in
his apartment They were surprised TO find
him dressed for the occasion in nothing but
shorts, still more so TO observe an unidentt-

Almy offered explanation, just served
the cocktails, which were drunk in an atmo-
sphere of constraint, since the guests tried
not to notice the blonde and she in turn paid
no attention to them.
A few days later the still somewhat be-
widered visitors received invitations from
Mrs. Amy but not to her apartment to her
