ACTRESS BRANDING STORY IS STRANGE Police Intimate She May Have Houywood, June 10.—(P—The story d¢ Miss Dorls Willlams, stage and soreon extra, that she was seized at the door of her apartment by an “aps llke man” who carved seven | 's” on her forehead, arms and chest, was the subject of a vigorous | investigation today by the police. | They frankly declared they were | skeptical of the actress’ version of the affair. The officers sald they had been unable to obtain any corroborative evidence for the actress’ version of | how she received the seven strange letters, but they added that it had not been disproved. Her story was that she met her attacker, whom she described as | looking like a “gorilla,” at a fare- ‘ well party for the company of ‘Aloma of the South Seas," in which | she appeared in New York. She gaid | she signed some mysterious paper for him in a spirit of bravado. Early Thursday morning she said | she heard a knock on the door. On opening it, she was confronted by het “gorilla man.” He grabbed her | and, muttering about “something to remember me by,” began slashing het with a razor blade. She said she fainted and later revived lying in & *‘pool of blood.” The police dectared that when they arrived at the apartment they found the room was not disarranged and that there were o | drops of blood in evidence. The | letters, with the exception of deep- | er_elaghes on the forehead, were described as scratches such as could have been made with pin or | needle, The forehead wound was the only one considered sufficient to warrant a bandage. The officers regarded as sign ¢ant the fact that all of the | with the exception of a few on the | arms were made backward. They | would appear as the usual letters if | viewed in a mirror, the officers pointed out. Questioning of other residents of the apartment here the actress said the attack took place caused | the police to search for a man who | was believed to have called at Miss | Williams' apartment shortly before | the ease was reported. The police | said his name was known and if he | ‘werd located the case might be solv- ed. v a few| The police were called not by Miss Willlame but by George La- | monte, an actor friend, to whom she had sent & message. The police said Lamonte told them Miss Williams about a week ago wanted to arrange | “soms.daring publicity stunt.” He | eaid he dissuaded her from doing it. | MALONEY IN COMEBACK l‘ Boston Irishman Will\Box Romero | Rojas tn Chicago on June 30, &c- | cording to Manager. ¥ Boston, June 10 (P — Jim Ma- loney, recently defeated by Jack Sharkey ih New York, plans to| start an attempted comeback by | boxing Romero Rojas in Chicago, | June 30, Dan Carroll, his manager, | Announted today. | Carroll said the announcement would set at rest reports that Ma- lomey would retire from the ring.

COHB NEW ENGLAND T0 GATCH SLAYER Taylor's Activities Following Strangling Recorded | Salisbury Beach, Mass., June 10 (A—State and local police in coop- eration with authorities of New Hampshire pressed clote today on the trail of George A. Taylor o{l Exeter, an’ itinerant barber, wanted here on a charge of murder in con- nection with the strangling last Sunday of pretty Stella Kale, 21 year old Lawrence girl. The man, who was described as 43 years old and swarthy, was be- lieved to be working his way to- ward the Canadian border, probably on foot. A check of Taylor's movements together with an accumulation of circumstantial evidence have con- vinced police that they are near a solution of the mystery surrounding the death of the photographer's as- sistant whose body was found on the beach here Monday morning. William M. Dow, driving from Hampton to Kensington reported he had picked up the man who told him a hard luck story and sold him a girl's watch, later identified as Miss Kale's for $3. At the same time police discove: ed that the man subsequently iden- tified as Taylor had sought work the previous Saturday at nearby Hamp- ton Beach where he persuaded the owner of a shop to give him a few hours at a chair. He told substan- tially the same story there and was taken in over the week-end. Later he appeared at a drug store where after buying a bottle of witch hazel, he produced two other bot- tles of the same fluid, and told the clerk the stuff tasted good. His movements were next traced |to a shop where he purchased a| pair of sun glasses the same, police said, as the pair found near Miss Kale's body which gave authorities their first definite clue. The glasses, police said, might have been pur- | chased to protect eyes weakened by | heavy drink. Other persons told of seeking the man Sunday night at the beach where he was reported to have an- noyed a woman and several children while several other witnesses placed him in the vicinity of the erime at about 10 o'clock or halt an hour after Miss Kale was last seen alive.
