During the conversation Miss Lawrence mentioned the fact that she had receiv ed a letter from Mrs. Georgia Doujr las Johnson of Washington, D. also a contributor to The Courier, praising her "Servants" article, and motioned the Courier representative to her table' to get the letter and read it. The reporter got the letter from the table, and the first thing he noticed was that it was addressed to Mrs. A.w Lawrence Powell." Immediately he began to question Miss Lawrence about the "Powell," as he had known her for several months and had never heard of her in that connection.

After quite a bit of parrying, she finally admitted the "Powell" referred to Dr. Clilan Bethany Powell of 2368 Seventh Avenue. Shortly before this Miss Lawrence had casually told the reporter she would shortly have' a big suit in court and The Courier would have a chance to put her picture on the first page. When questioned closely about, this Miss Lawrence would only say her lawyer was Counsellor Herschong of 233 Broad daw, to whom she had been referred by Martin C. Ansorge, former Congressman from New York and now Judge of General Sessions.

Sensine that Powell" rai rht have somethinir to do with the in tended suit, the reporter began to ask Miss Lawrence direct and lea a inr questions, and finally found she was planning to sue Powell. Then, the reporter asked Miss LawTence if she would not givt the story to The Courier exclusively.

She aaid yes, but it ought to be worth soma thintr. as it would sell a lot oz pa pers. The reporter told her that he was not in the market buying such news, but he would pay for her silence, that is, if she would sign a statement saying she would not talk for pubication for any ather paper, except through the reporter, To this Miss Lawrence agreed, and set Saturday evening1 as the time she would prepare a formal state ment for release. The money was to be paid to her in two installments, half on receipt of her statement, and the remaining half when the story appeared in the paper. The 'first receipt from Miss Lawrence reads: "Oct 9, 1926.

Received from Mr. Floyd J. Calvin, the New York Representative of The Pittsburgh Courier, the sum Dollars, as part payment for information given by me on my relations with Dr. C. B.

Powell and his relations with Mrs. Caroline Wilkins as quoted by Sirs. Wilkins to me. On day the story appears in The Courier Mr. Calvin is to pay me as final payment for this information.

I agree not to discuss the case with any newspaper representatives except through Mr. Calvin. Signed, Ann Lawrence, 287 W. 136th Street. 2nd floor rear.

The Courier reporter had Miss Lawrence's word, the receipt, so as to cover other information not contained in her formal typewritten statement, aa, he explained to her it was not written in proper newspaper style and the paper could not use the story anyway unless there was to be some court action. In the matter of pictures, Miss Lawrence gave the reporter a pho ograph of herself taken with Mrs. Mabel Carmichael, of the "Lulu Belle" for use with the story, but the reporter decided this was not the proper picture and hired Randolph McDougall of 444 'V. lC3d Street, a photographer on the staff of the Evening Graphic, to call at Miss Lawrence's apartment on Saturday, Oct. 9, and make a special pose.

Mr. McDougall did this, and it was that picture of Miss Lawrence that appeared in the paper. Miss Lawrence told the reporter she did not have a picture of Dr. Powell, but she thought his friend and classmate, a doctor who lives at 109 W. 129th Street, had one from their class at Howard in 1920.

The reporter called and the doctor did not have a picture. Miss Lawrence then told the reporter who had one, and could tell him where he himself could get one. On Tuesday evening, Oct. 12, the reporter called on Miss Lawrence and explained to her the outline of the story, and told her if she was in any way doubtful the whole thing could be called oflT. She said there was one point which she did not like, namely the mention of a child, hut it could go ahead.

On Thursday morning. Oct. 14, the reporter called on Miss Lawrence with a copy of the paper containing the story. She was elated. She yaid it was great, except that the dates were mixed, relative to when she married Lucas, explaining her daughter is 17 years old which could not be according to the date given in the story as to when she married Lucas.

She also said the story showed she was in high school when 24 and that would show her as being very dense. The reporter assured her any datej in error could easily be corrected. She accepted the second payment of money, after reading the story 'or which she gave the following receipt. "Oct. 14.

1926. Received from Mr. Floyd J. Calvin. New York Representative of The Pittsburgh Courier, Dollars, as balance due on information given concerning myself and Dr.

C. B. Powell, and what Mrs. Wilkins told me of herself and Dr. Powell.

Signed. Ann Lawrence." The reporter did not call on her again until next evening (Friday) hen she told him she had been called to coilrt, but that everything ws all right. She said, however, she would not make any further state ment, as she had originally planned and promised, but would let the matter drop. The Pittsburgh Courier placed full faith in Miss Lawrence's claims and accepted the story purely as a highly salable news article. It had no reason to believe Miss Lawrence mentally unbalanced, as it has found some of those who know her claim.

But her action in" repudiating her part in the story causes The Courier to believe, none of her statements were true, and it sincerely regrets any inconvenience or embarrassment the story might have caused Dr. Powell and trusts this explanation will exonerate him in the eyes of the public.

One of the facts of great importance to a A. a a. race ousinesa is inciuaea in ua xacc, shown by statements in the report, that far too many fixed assets and doubtful commercial paper figured in the bank's conduct prior to its de mise, and that inexperienced management was the main cause thereof. Too much paper was also in dorsed for individuals and organisa tions by director of the bank, ac cording to the detailed statement of i notes, indorse rs ana appraisal values of borrowings contained In the state ment of the examiners of the con dition of the bank's business on Jan uary 12.

An examination of the statement indicates that the furniture and fixtures of the bank, sold recently auction, brought $465.50 and that the money secured from the banks real estate after all deductions brought only $2,550. The amount of money "borrowed from the bank by the Homo Finders League, amounting to about. $63, 000.00. was fully covered by deposits to that amount which the League had in the bank. Prominent indi viduals and firms are listed in the roster of bills receivable, represent ing notes that have been paid since the bank failed.

The list of depositors savings and checking accounts contained in the report varies in amount from a few cents of some individuals to hundreds of dollars deposited by others. Many claims of persons and firms that they lost extremeiy Heavy in the crash are disproved by the list of accounts, while many of those who have made the least complaint about the failure have owing; to them hundreds of dollars. The bonds and stocks owned by the bank, which were marketed during the process of liquidation, were uniformly gilt edge with the exception of 832 shares of the Home Finders League, quoted at $49,569.47, but appraised at xero. A payment will be made within a month or so, after exceptions have been filed to the statement and adjusted by the examiners. GRIFFIN.
