Scott in the Scott divorce suit being declded at Alpena, Mich, was alleged last night by Harry Wyckoff, cashier of the Wardman Park Hotel. Mr. Wyckoft issued a statement which said: “Representative Scott and his seo- retary, Miss Kennedy, have deliber- ately sought to give the impression that I was attentive to Mrs. Scott. This is not true. My relations with Mrs. Scott are above criticism. The extent of my acquaintance with her is that I met her two years ago and several times talked with her—al- ways In the presence of others. I was never alone with Mrs. Scott in her apartment; never attended any so-called ‘wild partles’ alleged to have taken place in her apartment. “The slanderous attacks on me are without foundation. making me the goat. “The first visit I made to Mr. Scott's apartment was at his own in- vitation. On four subsequent oc- casions Miss Kennedy and a Miss Fuchs of New York were present. I was never in the apartment with any of the Army officers mentioned in the case. There was never any- thing Improper going on in the apartment at any of the times I was present.” Mr. Scott is (= $8.95 STAR, WASHINGTON, Marriage Licenses.

U, TRIDAY, JANUARY 92, '1925. DEATH OF GRANT DECLARED SUICIDE Woman Testifies He Attempt- ed to Take His Life With Poison Month Ago. A verdict of suiclde was issued to- day in the case of .Earl H. Grant, who was shot on the Speedway in Park near the Railway e at about 4 am. December 31. Evidence was given by Mrs. Belle Calhoun of the Tuxedo Apartments, a friend of Grant's, who told of an attempted sulcide by Grant about a month ago. She stated that while in her apartment he had taken five - | poison tablets and had fallen on the floor. Mrs. Calhoun sald that Grant had told her the next time he would make It a sure shot. A question brought up by Dr. Raw- son, who had performed the autopsy, as to a rupture of the spleen which the doctor stated must have been caused by some blow, was apparently satistactorily described by Alexander T. Speck, who was with Grant when he was shot. Speck explained that Grant's body was moved around quite a bit after the shooting and that he thought a rupture might easily have been caused at that time.
