Hanan, and Mr. Borland, who were awaiting the result, were told there was little hope she would survive. According to Borland, he was tn- troduced to Mra, Lawes and Mi: Hanan several months ago in a Man- hattan restaurant by Mise Groth- echalk. He sald he understood Mrs. Lawes was divorced and had lived with Miss Hanan and her mother until about two weeks ago, when she went to the Hotel Vanderbilt The best information the police could get regarding the quarrel be- tween Mrs, Lawes and Miss Hanan was that Mrs. Lawes, at Shoreham, Gisappeared just before dinner Sept. & When she appeared at dinner her mood had changed from one of gayety at the bathing beach in the afternoon te one of sullen anger. Miss Hanan asked where she had heen. Mrs, Lawes resented the ques- tion angrily, left the table, went to her room, packed her bags and left the house after talking violently to Miss Hanan. She went to the Van- derbilt Hotel in New York, from which she has since been writing un- friendly letters to both Miss Hanan and Mr. Borland, with whom she had been acquainted for a year and a halt.

We had just emerged from the vestibule when I saw Mrs. Lawes step from an aren- way on our left. “The next thing I heard three pistol reports. I dropped to the sidewalk and when I go up saw blood running from my arm. I ran for a hundred feet and collapsed. I then heard an- other shot fired, Mr. Borland picked me up and carried me to the steps of THE EVENING WORLD, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBE™ 3, 1921.
