Women induced by Alfred E, Lind- say to give him more than a million dollars for investment will be the principal witnesses against him at his trial in New York on a charge of swindling. He is under $50,000 bond. ‘His victims and the amounts which they are reported to have entrusted to him include Mrs. Lillian N. Duke + $375,000 Mrs. Dorothy -Atwooc 70,000 * Mrs. Helen Burnetts 31,000 Mrs. Adelaide V. Rice 25,000 Miss Charlotte Nilsson 20,000 Miss Margaret Bogert 18,000 Mrs, W. H. Arnold ... 17,000 ‘How Lindsay, uncouth and uncul-|' tured, succeeded in wooing a million from these women of all ages, tastes and social positions, is the puzzle of psychologists. His methods are re- vealed, however, in the accompanying exclusive interview which Mrs. At- wood has given Ruth Abeling of NEA Service. oe BY RUTH ABELING New York, March 14.—How did Al- fred E. Lindsay, former strikebreaker once indicted for white slavery, win and hold the confidence of wealthy and intelligent women, to the point of getting control of their fortunes esti- mated, altogether, around a million dollers? This question I asked Mrs. Dor- othy Atwood, New York society wo- man, in her ‘peautiful apartment just off Riverside Drive. Mrs. Atwood trusted Lindsay with $70,000. And lost it. Her reply was: “With /dominance.” Mrs, Atwood is a Mexican, auburn- haired and petite. She has traveled in Europe and speaks four. lant guages. She was left in comfortable when her husband died. Lindsay Absolutely ‘ Dominated Others “Alfred Lindsay absolutely domin- ated any company with which he hap- pened to be,” continued Mrs. Atwood. “He was not a cultured man. His His figure was ungainly. He was too huge, too awkward. “But he dominated! almost to defiance. “When, I met him at. the home of Mrs. Lillian Duke, from whom he is said to have obtained several hundred thousand dollars, I had the feeling, ‘Now here is a diamond in the rough, “His voice was not pleasant. He ‘was not suave, not finished, but he in- stantly began talking and held the center of interest. He was clever enough not to talk about himself, It amounted ‘ put about other important people. “As we became better acquainted he talked of these important people in connection with his business. Natur- ally, when’ he had been well intro- duced and offered to. invest money for me, I felt it was safe to trust him. Knew the Hour of Least Resistance “He was clever enough to study a ‘woman’s moods. He knew,” said Mrs. Atwood, “in an almost uncanny way, with an almost psychic sense, the hour of least resistance. ‘He knew, without asking, when things were not going just right. “He never offered sympathy. That would have been crude, wouldn't it?” Mrs. Atwood smiled cynically. “But he took that moment for bigger things —for instance, for deciding that my jewels were unsafe in my own,house. “He came in that particular day,” Mrs. Atwood went on, “and told me that I was wearing too many jewels, that it was unsafe for a woman alone as-I am, to wear gorgeous jewelry, and he asked me if he might take it to his safe at the Astor where it would ‘be out of harm’s way. “I objected. I flatly refused. But he simply took some of the most val- ‘uable pieces at which -he had been looking and walked away with them! Who Could Be Fond ‘ Ota Man Like This? “Fond of him?” Mrs. Atwood re- peated the question. “Goodness, No! He had a red nose, great flabby jowls, gray eyes which were too light and too shifty. His.chin was too short. The space from the base of his nose ‘to his chin was amazingly short. “Why, I think his mouth-was the only good feature he had, That curv- ed up a little at the corners and was ‘thin-lipped, which accounts: for his eternal optimism. One couldn’t be oni of him, but he dominated and de- fied. “And he was an excellent alibier, a wonderful fictionist gone wrong. He could tell you in the most convincing way ok certain creuinstances were “GIRL NOW WELL AND STRONG Daughter Took Lydia E.

Lindsay separated herself and other victims from a million “dollars. preventing any return on your invest- ment, explain it all, and I-might have gone on believing for any length of time that all he said was true and that eventually big returns would come, if his vanity had:not struck a false note. Proud of Hands And Kept Them Well “He was always very proud of his hands,” said Mrs. Atwood, “and kept them ‘well. ‘His nails were a trifle too long and too shiny and he wore a huge sapphire on his right hand. “One day, in shaking hands with him, my finger closed over that stone. It didn’t have the clear, keen feeling of a genuine jewel. “The nicked, almost pasty feeling: of that stone made me think for the first time that Alfred Lindsay was not genuine himself! “I looked at him,” continued Mrs. Atwood, “and I thought, ‘Are you wearing fake jewelry?’ And are you like your jewels?” Asked why she continued to trust Lindsay, long after she doubt his reliability, Mrs. thought a ‘moment, “Probably it was because he used to come up here and cry like a child when he was in trouble! “During the periods that he was getting along well, he used to stalk around. He was clumsy, too. Why he broke this chair! Yes!” she liftec a cushion out of a handsome corne chair and showed a seat broker through, “Yes, he broke ‘that sittins in it! And he wguld sit in‘that par ticular chair though he knew he wa breaking jt and that I loved! it my- self! Drops Into Chair And Cries Like Child “But one day—and there were many similar occasions-—he came ut- terly broken. He was,in trouble over something he had done with Mrs. Duke’s money. “The old defiance was gone,” Mrs. Atwood went on, “he dropped down in the big chair and cried, cried like a child. “He threw himself on my mercy, begged me to give him another chance to make good. : _ “Then, ..after having given him thousands to invest and lost it,” Mrs. Atwood was speaking slowly, I bor- rowed, more money for him. + “Alfred Lindsay knew when to stop dominating and put himself on one’s mercy, “That,” concluded Mrs, Atwood, “is why he could continue so long to hold the confidence of women.” To See Rampolla - ‘Statue Finished Late Pope’s Desire Rome, Mar. 14.—Some incidents of the last. two days of'the illness of the late Pope Bonedict XV- have just be- come known. At intervals he was de- lirious and these: were followed by periods of lucidity. He talkég to the prelates at his bedside about various subjects so widely different with so little pause between them that they were unable always to discern wheth- er he was in full possession -of his faculties. A few minutes after he had -told Professor Battistina, “I- would gladly give my life for the . peace of the world,” he turned to Cardinal Gaspar- ri and said: -“One of my greatest re- grets upon leaving this earth is that T shall not live to see the completion of the statue of Rampolla,. my great Master.” At another moment, evidently think- ing of his nephew, Della (Chiesa, who had insisted upon seeing the pope in spite of his own serious illness, he kept repeating, “Poor boy, poor boy, who knows whethor he has enough money! to pay the cab to bring him here.” The Della Chiesas are consid- ered to be fairly well-to-do. The Pope had taken the initiative last_ year of having a statue erected in the Vatican grounds to Cardinal Rampolla, had examined the plans and drawing himself. and often called to watch the sculptor at his’ work.
