Lemp appeared at his office at 9 n. m. today, as usual, it was stated, and shortly thereafter Henry Voblkamp, vice-president, arrived and greeted Le “Well, how do you feel today?” “Oh, I'm feeling worse,” kamp said Lemp replied. Vohlkamp stated Lemp had been extremely nervous for the last -sev- eral months. Although his face | was flushed, Vohlkamp said he tried to cheer him by saying “you look better,” but Lemp would not be consoled, replying only: “I'm feel- ing worse.” Vohikamp said that he then went to his office, as Lemp's secretary, Miss Olivia Berschek arrived, be- | lNeving the spell of melancholy | would wear off. j Miss Berschek explained Lemp dismissed her presently on pretext of an errand to the company's architect in ancther part of the bullding.
