A—12 x» MISSFLCK TAKES STAND N DEFENSE Butier’s Lawyer Quizzes Her on Relations With So- ciety Matron. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, May 16.—Miss Mar- got Flick's relations with a Boston society matron were the object of questioning today as Miss Flick testi- fied in defense against her former butler’s $100,000 slander suit against her and her mother, Mrs. Henrjetta Flick, of Lenox, Mass., and New York. The society mation’s name was Mrs. Louis Shaw, who, Miss Flick testi- fied, visited her two or three times each Summer. “Do you recall when you enter- tained her in the drawing room be- fore the fireplace?” Bernard Sandler, attorney for Willlam Lawrence Gra- ham, the suing butler, asked her. “I always entertained her in the drawing room,” she replied. “Do you recall you and she to- gether there before the fireplace on one occasion when Graham served you cocktails?” “He might have.” Was a Dear Friend. “Mrs. Shaw was one of your dear friends, wasn't she?” NV “You were accustomed to show af- | fection: to Mrs. Shaw, were you not?” “I was very fond of her.” ‘Were you accustomed to Kkissing her?” “I have, on occasion.” | “In daytime?” “I don't recall any occasion for kiss- ing her in the daytime.” “Well now, will you tell this jury that vou waive any privilege to permit this former butler of yours to tell what | he saw on the occasion that he served you before the fireplace in the draw- | ing room of your home?” | F | Department, has been awarded the Objections Sustained. Henry Uterhart, attorney for the ! Flicks, leaped to his feet with vigorous | objections and the court immediately | sustained him. | Graham is suing the Flicks on the | ground that he lost his bride and his | professional reputation when the | Flicks discharged him with the accu- sation that he had entered Miss Flick's bed room without knocking while she was in sleeping pajamas. | He alleged the affair drove him Lo‘ drink. The defense retorted that he | was already more gay than efficient, and one of the defense exhibits was a picture of him in a group of men, half of whom were dressed as women. “Were you ever at a masquerade Sandler asked Miss Flick. she replied, “at the Beaux Arts Ball” “Were you ever dressed as man?” “No, not that I recall.” ‘The attorney had previously shown her a picture of herself dressed in slacks, polo shirt and jacket. She said it was taken while she was on her way for a swim, and she denied it was her favorite pictge. Asked if Picture Shocked Her. The picture showing the butler in | the midst of men dressed as women | Was handed to her. ““Do you see anything in that that | shocks you in any way?” Sandler asked. | Before she cotld answer, Uterhart objected and the court agreed that the question was improper. | Sandler persisted. | “Did you attach any importance to | this picture?” he asked. | Over the court room there boomed | the stentorian voice of Supreme Court | Justice Philip McCook. | “I will not have my ruling violated,” | and his hands slapped the bench. Sandler thereupon turned his ques- | tioning to the night of a buffet party | at the Flick's New York apartment immediately preceding the morning of | the bed room incident out of which the alleged slander grew. Some Played Poker. “What did the guests do at the party?” he asked. “Some talked;” she replied. played poker.” “Did you drink too much?" “Certainly not,” she flared at the attorney. “Did you see Graham take any drinks?” 4 “I wasn't in a position to see. I know that I rang for him, but that he didn’t appear. He didn't appear at all after 10:30 that night.” Miss Flick left the stand after saying she had no fear of Graham during the bed room episode, but that the effect on her was one of extreme annoyance, and that she thought him tactless and indiscreet.

PRINCESS KATHARINE ARRIVES “INCOGNITO” By the Associated Press. SEATTLE, May 16.—Traveling as plain Miss K. Constantine, Princess Katharine of Greece was here today accompanied by two chaperons. The princess laughed merrily when every turn of her head set off a bar- rage of photographic flash lamps on her arrival here last night. She giggled schoolgirlishly when her stern companions, Miss P. Ismay and Miss M. Bennett, started shoving camera- men around and telling reporters the princess had nothing to say. Newsmen noticed a film magazine in her lap. “I am not going into the movies,” the 22-year-old princess laughed. “But I do want toesee Hollywood.” “And don't forget that she is just a private citizen,” Miss Bennett ad- monished. “Don’t say she is a princess.
