ZARUHI ELMASSIAN, soprano, whose name has been drawn into investigation of slaying of Dr. Leonard Siever at Pasadena, Although it was said he had visited her frequently, she declared she knew him only professionally. PASADENA, Dec. 15.fUniver-sal are some extracts from the diary kept by Dr.

Leonard 8iever, murder victim, in which he set down his thoughts concerning life and love. The entries ended several years ago: Ah, ah, romance! I have had my share. It is rare and far between In my life; if it does come It strikes with intensity. It is interesting that throughout my entire three years' stay in Ann Arbor as a student, in proximity of charmfng coeds, beautiful boulevards and lovers' lanes, my life was minus any sort of romance and in a sense I am glad of it Nature seems to protect me. I needed the time for study and work, having been a self-supporting student.

Had I indulged in social life throughout extremity I feel sure it would have seriously interferred with my school work. So I am grateful to Nature for its wise co-operation. WOULD BE DIFFERENT. I do know this, however, that if I should change to be a student once more on any co-educational campus matters would be different I just simply would make up for lost time. I am very emotional and have a highly organized nervous system.

But I feel I am getting away from the chosen topic of romance. I have had one infatuation and one love; Leone, for the former; Florence, the latter. Both cases were genuine, intense and had a touch of sadness to tears. Leone, blonde university coed, was Intent on frivolity and that only, so it seemed to me, while my mind was preoccupied with her as with no other person before. COULD NOT TRUST HER, She was fond, of me, but seeing I was unduly attached to her began to fall away.

She found it easy to lie to me. In fact. I could not rely upon her or trut her, and it is for this reason that I call the affair an infatuation, otherwise it would have been a real case of love, and I should have liked to marry her. As it was, I didn't even propose. When I received my orders to go to France with my division, I was indeed heartbroken over Leone.

It seemed unbearable to leave her, so for hours and hours I lay on my cot, weeping. This does not sound very manly, but It is human at least. Leone deceived me several times, and we finally discontinued correspondence. "MY ONLY LOVE." Florence, a petite blonde of 103 pounds, five feet in height, was my only love. A graduate of a fashionable school for girls, 18 years of age, well-mannered and attractive.

We were engaged to be married. However, Florence did not discourage the numerous amorous letters she sad been receiving from other boys. In fact she was encouraging them, and she would not tell them that she was engaged to me. We had many arguments over it. Finally, I threatened one of her amorous boys, and as a result Florence went East.

We made up through correspondence and it was agreed that she would never write this boy, Johnny, again, nor let him write to her. I was never to mention his name again. I kept my word to the letter and when I visited Florence about Christmas time, 1923, I discovered, and she admitted that they had been corresponding right along. ROMANCE DIES. My promise had been kept.

DIARY DISCOVERED.

Baring hidden chapters of Siever's loye life, his diary was discovered today and officers hastily thumbed its pages for clues to some incident which may have engendered the death lust of the person who instigated the slaying. Miss Mary Rockwell, a patient of the dentist and the woman who kept an appointment in his office Tuesday morning and wafted a "Christmas kiss" to Siever as she left him, was questioned again today, but she could give officers no new information.
