Later it was shown that this was an oil bribe that Fall had received and McLean admitted his statement was false. More recently domestic tragedy has crept into the private lives of the McLeans. They separated.

Newt of the rift between them came when Mrs McLean filed suit for separate maintenance, claiming that her husband had refused to support his wife and three children. She asked 110,000 monthly, stating that It cost them at least 14,000 a month to live. A Washington Judge awarded her $7,500 monthly. McLean went to Mexico and sought to obtain a divorce, but was balked by Mrs. McLean's attorneys who got an Injunction in a Washington court.

Nevertheless, McLean married while In Mexico and took his bride the former Rose Douras Van Cleve of Long Island, N. Y. with him to Europe. In Paris, he told reporters that he would travel around the world, Hf necessary, to obtain a divorce ttiat would be binding, hi reason, he said, was that he had already married again. In Riga, Latvia, McLean tried again last December.

He filed suit and mailed the summons to his wife In a Ives accompanied his nurse every time they ventured out. One day Vinson was playing in his walled playground when a gardener, not noticing the child, left thr? gate open. The boy darted out to the roadway for an instant, wild to se the open world. But he ran directly the path of an oncoming automobile and was killed instantly. Someone asked Mrs.

McLean if she would dispose of the Hope diamond then. She replied: "It already has brought me all the suffering a possibly can bring. I will keep It." The MoLeans eontlnued to play a blf part In Washington society, and with the coming of the Harding administration they rote to new heights. Senator Harding had been one of McLeans cloest friends, and Mn. Harding had been very close friend of Mr.

McLean. Their home soon became Washington's most brilliant social center. The highest officials of the Harding administration frequently visited there. Among them were Attorney Oeneral Daugherty and Secretary of Interior Albert B. Pal).

Then tragedy, In the form of the scandals of the Harding administration, crossed their path again and the MoLeans' social prominence faded. Daugherty and Fall departed from their high positions of trusty President Harding died before tne expiration of his term, and Mrs, Harding not long thereevfter.
