DDS PA 766-6540 But Mrs. Harrison did not stay away from her husband. Kenneth N. Gelbard, an owner of Mill Centre, said Mr. Harrison was helpful getting The Shady Lady off the ground.

"He helped her negotiate the lease in the beginning of the year," Mr. Gelbard said. They seemed very comfortable working together. There was no sense of acrimony there." But the fighting was not over. On July 12, Mr.

Harrison complained to police that his wife tried to run him over outside his house. Then, on July 31, Mrs. Harrison called police, saying that her husband had come to her house and, when she refused to go to dinner, grabbed her hand and twisted her fingers. Her friends watched with alarm as Mrs. Harrison began seeing her husband with more frequency.

The last thing I said to her," Ms. MacMillan said, "was be careful." Last seen at husband's home Mrs. Harrison and son Nick, a sophomore at Middlebury College In Vermont, had planned to drive to Boston that Friday, Aug. 5. But after failing to get an early start, it occurred to them that they might be able to get cheap airline tickets to Boston.

They made reservations for a 7:10 a.m. flight the next day. Nicholas, who was living with his father, Tom Owsley, in Homeland, decided to spend the night with his mother to save time in the morning. About 5 p.m., he decided to go to his father's house to pack and to pick up dinner on his way back. Looking in her wallet for money to give Nick to pay for Chinese food, Mrs.

Harrison realized she only had about $5. So she gave him her automated teller machine card and told him to make a withdrawal. As Nick left, Mrs. Harrison told him she planned to take a nap and asked him to wake her when he returned. After Nick's departure, Mrs.

Harrison got in her Saab and drove the six miles to Mr. Harrison's house. Mr. Harrison said he did not remember the time she arrived. He said she was at his house several times that day.

At least one neighbor saw her car at the house that evening. One of Mr. Harrison's daughters told police that as she was leaving the house, she saw Mrs. Harrison arrive. Mr.

Harrison acknowledges that the couple argued that day and suggested that she was not stable. "It was a tough day," he said. He told police that as the evening wore on, he went upstairs to bed, leaving Mrs. Harrison downstairs. He said he heard a car leave about 10 p.m.

and assumed it was her. Meanwhile, Nick had returned to his mother's house after 8 p.m. to find her absent the front door slightly ajar and all the lights In the house off. inside, he found Mrs. Harrison's pocketbook, which contained all of her credit cards.

Worried by his mother's continued absence, he called his father at 11 p.m., then again shortly after 2 a.m. After the second call, he drove to his father house. Mr. Owsley said Nick drove by Mr. Harrison's house In the morning but didn't see Mrs.

HaAison's car. Mr. Hurley called Mr. Harrison between 9:30 a.m. and 10 a.m.

but friend. "He broke her wrist once, her ribs another time." Mrs. Harrison did not suffer in silence. She told her friends about the abuse and, on occasion, took refuge in their homes. For years, her friends counseled Mrs.

Harrison to leave her husband. "It was so often that she called that I told her the details don't matter, you sound like a broken record," Ms. MacMillan said. "And then I'd sound like a broken record." Husband says he was abused Mr. Harrison, who retired from McCor-mick In 1991, has offered a vastly different version of his marital life, claiming to police that he was the victim of his wife's assaults.

He attributed her behavior either to alcohol or to a "manic depressive" condition and her refusal to take lithium. In December, he tried unsuccessfully to force her to submit to a psychiatric evaluation. "When she's good, she's so good," Mr. Harrison said, "but on the bad side she's tough, she Just attacks verbally, my family, me." Mary D. Harrison, who was married to Mr.

Harrison for 31 years, supports her former husband's account. She said Mr. Harrison was never abusive toward her and Insisted that Susan Harrison, suffering from a mental illness, was the one who was physically abusive. "She does not tell the truth," said Mary Harrison. "I'm not sure she knows the truth, but she plays the victim very, very well." What the two shared, those on both sides agree, was a nearly irresistible attraction for each other.

Susan Harrison's friends can't conceive of her physically confronting her husband and insist he told police she abused him only to protect himself. Often, the police summoned to the house chose not to charge either one, apparently unsure whom to believe. Once, though, Mr. Harrison showed an officer a bruise that he said was the result of his wife stamping on his foot. Mrs.

Harrison countered that his doctor had caused the bruise during a rough examination, which the doctor confirmed. The officer charged Mr. Harrison with making a false statement Mrs. Harrison's family and friends dispute Mr. Harrison's claim that she is mentally UL In the mid-1980s, they say.

she saw an internist in Boston who diagnosed her as manic-depressive and prescribed lithium. However, they say, she saw a psychiatrist in Baltimore who Insisted the diagnosis was wrong. "She was told, and I was told directly by her current doctor that she is not a manic-depressive," Mr. Hurley said. In December, after two days of fights that brought police to their home three times, Mrs.

Harrison moved out eventually settling in a Ruxton cottage. After separating from hrr husband, she opened a business in Mill Centre to sell the type of lamp shades she had made for years as a hobby. She called her store The Shady Lady. Friends saw positive changes in her after the sepJtration. "She was spunky again for the first time in years," Ms.

Gordon said. MOHEiSSHBD DRflPCAV CO. turer, and her mother was a homemaker. After college and Jobs with a Boston art museum and a publishing house, she married Tom Owsley, a college buddy of one of her brothers. The couple lived for a time In Connecticut and Virginia before settling In Garrison about 12 years ago.

Mr. Owsley Is a vice president with Crown Central Petroleum Corp. Supportive wife and mother She threw herself Into the role of supportive wife to a corporate husband and then, when the two boys came along, of a fully Involved mother. She was a docent at the Baltimore Museum of Art, volunteered at the Gilman School and satisfied her artistic yearnings through sewing, knitting and the creation of hand-painted lamp shades. It was an Idyllic life, but, apparently, not a fully satisfying one.

After 20 years, the Owsley marriage foundered In the early 1980s. Lack of communication, she told friends. She also had a new romance. James J. Harrison Jr.

then was completing a 20-year climb to the top ranks of Mc-Cormlck Co. A graduate of Gilman, Cornell University and the University of Baltimore Law School, he was married and the father of six. She had met him through her husband's professional associations. They used to go out as couples," said Mary Jo Gordon, a close friend and former neighbor. "He James flirted with her, pursued her while she was married for two years." The Owsleys separated in 1984 and divorced three years later.

On Dec. 2, 1988, she married Mr. Harrison. She married him, friends say, even though she was complaining of him hitting her. "I wouldn't come to the wedding because of that," said Terry MacMlllan.

who has been one of Mrs. Harrison's closest friends from their years at Dana Hall Preparatory School. Ms. MacMillan, who lives in California, said that after an altercation between the couple at a San Francisco hotel In the mid-1980s, Susan spent the night with her. Although Susan called police, she refused to prosecute Mr.

Harrison, said Ms. MacMillan. It was a pattern she repeated. Reports of battery The Harrison marriage is well-chronicled In official records. Beginning at least as far back as October 1989 and continuing to within five days of Mrs.

Harrison's disappearance. Baltimore County police received no fewer than 20 calls about domestic battery involving the Harrisons, who lived in a secluded, tree-shrouded home In Lutherville. In a number of cases, one or both of them appeared to have been drinking. Sometimes there were accusations rif infidelity. Mrs.

Last Christmas, she unsuccessfully appealed to a Baltimore County judge for a restraining order against Mr. Harrison (several months earlier, a Judge did issue a temporary restraining order) claiming he "through sic me into the Christmas tree broke my ribs, gave me several lacerations and bruises to my body.

He held me captive for 10 hours and finally got naked to rape me and I escaped to a friend's house." On four occasions, Mr. Harrison was charged with battery. In three of those cases, the charges were dropped. In the fourth, he was acquitted. On most occasions, Mrs.

Harrison refused to press charges, according to friends. John Owsley refused to discuss his mother's marriage to Mr. Harrison. "I have extremely strong beliefs about it, but I can't talk about it," he said But friends express little doubt that Mr. Harrison frequently had struck his wife.
