Fortnight ago a man appeared in the secluded spot where Joseph Mozynsky and Catherine May, lovers, sat in a parked car near Little Neck, L. I. He ordered Mozynsky into the front seat, then shot him. The girl he escorted to a bus, sent her home. Next day, the New York Journal received a letter signed "A V 3X," which confessed the slaying, said the motive was to recover important international documents...

She makes up when she goes to bed with the same care that she does for the stage. She plays golf very seriously, loves to drive a car and drive it fast.

The officer made no arrest. He, too, was captivated by the charm...
