Highly nervous, the two former At- lanta women told of the contract where- by Carnes had agreed to finance the Hollywood venture. Mrs. Pope denied knowing lnytmng about a similar finan- cial arrangement in the case of a Lois Griffin, to whvm Carnes’ account showed he had sent money. Mrs. Pope told newspaper men: “The suriace hasn't been scratched in this mess. Don't waste your time with Sonia and me. We never got any of the money.
