A score of detectives were dis- patched to check-up on confidentlal information received by the police to the effect that despite the fact that “Mr. Marshall” was reported to have heart, Miss Keenan had in her pos- ession a package of letters from him. This information came as a sens ion, after it had been reported that “Mr!

Detectives were searching today for a hitherto unmentioned character, who was alleged to have threatened the girl and held her in fear for six months. The police picked up this clue through a former tenant of the apartment house, who said the model had appealed to him for protection. Mrs. Anna Keenan, the girl's mother, accompanied by her son and detec- tives, today opened her daughter's de- posit box and then left the bank with- out making known what they had found in the vault.
