In explanation of het sudden rise to wealth after October 13, the night she shot Hochbrunn, Miss Skarin said she fabricated a story to the ef- fect that Mark Ten Suie, a Chinese, wanted to adopt her, had given her some money. Thif was the “Mark,” she said, mentioned in a telegram to Raymond E. Herron, her sweetheart, of Kalamazoo, Mich., and which had proved an enigma to the prosecuting attorney. Mark Ten Suie is a well known Chinese mer- chant of Seattle and New York, A bright smile was her reply to the prosecutor's query as to the num- ber of her aliases, } “Oh, I don’t remember them all; (Turn to Page 9, Column 6) BELLINGHAM FIGHTS RATES BELLINGHAM, Sept. 12—J.
