Heiress, Called Sane, immured in Asylum
Dorothy Gordon, twenty-two yoart old, who has been in en institu?
tion at Waverly, Mass., etnce March 21. William F. Jardine, her
guardian, has testified in legal proceedings for his removal that ha had

have deprived Jardine of his control of her estate, he said
Insane or Not, Girl
Should Remain in
Asylum, Says Doctor
Dorothy Gordon's Guardian
Held Justified in Keeping
Young Woman in. Hospi?
tal; Treating Her Kindly
Special Dispatch to The Tribune
BOSTON, Nov. 11.?Dorothy Davis
Gordon, whether she is insane in any
accepted meaning of the word, is a
"suitable person for the McLean In?
sane Hospital at Waverly," and if her
uncle, John Gardiner, were to wrest
guardianship from William Jardine,
the present guardian of the girl, he
Gardiner, "would probably leave Dor?
othy where she now is?at the Waver?
ly HospitaL"
Such are statements made by Dr
Frederick H. Packard, superintendent
of the McLean Asylum, one of the
\ leading neurologists and nerve spe?
cialists in the country.
The girl is now in Dr. Packard'!
charge. The question of her guard
ianship is the Bubject of one of th<
most sensational hearings ever held ir
New England. Intimations by coun
sel for Dorothy's uncle at this hear
ing are that Dorothy is the victim o
a greedy guardian, Jardine, who, fo:
personal gain, has attempted to pre
vent the girl from marrying &u<
escaping gurdianship by thrusting he
into an insane asylum.
That Dorothy's present guardiai
treats the girl with kindness, comes b
visit her frequently at the hospital am
appears to have the interest of the gir
at heart, were assertions of Dr. Pack
ard.
In an interview Dr. Packard ex
pressed himself as of the opinion that
Dorothy Gordon is now in the right
place; that she is neither being abused
nor undergoing cruelty at the hands of
her guardian. He also made it clear
that the girl when she was taken to the
hospital for the second time March 22,
1921, signed the voluntary application
for admission required of every patient
committed unless a patient is ad?
mitted on a court order.

Affair With a Wontai
Mrs. Elsie Frazee, of B8B Park Arc
m?e, who sued Hnrry H. Frasee, theatri
cal producer and owner of the Bosto
Haseball Club of the American Leagui
| for a divorce, has proved her crise t
I the satisfaction of Abraham Stern, re:
eree, and in the regular coursa of court
proc?dure will receive her decree. Mr. j
Stern filed his report in the Supreme
Court ysterday, recommending that a
decree be granted. The question of
support for Mrs. Frazee and her
eighteen-year-old son, Harry H. Frazee
Jr., who lives with his mother and
works for his father, was settled pri?
vately between husband and wife, Mr.
Frane? making a liberal provision for
his wife and son.
The action against the theatrical
j baseball impresario wns .based on his
| alleged relations with Miss Elizabeth
Nelson, an actress, and the principal
I witness in support of the complaint
j was it. Lawrence Weber, also t
! theatrical manager and a friend ol
j Mr. Frazee,, who described what h(
j had seen at the home of Miss Nelsor
at Great Neck, L. L, where the do
fendant spent much of his time, als*
being the purchaser of the house, ac
cording to allegations. Mr. Webe
had called on both Mr. Frazee and Mis
Nelson there, he said! and observe*
that the manager and the actress wer
on terms of intimate friendship.
Mr. Weber, the record of the cas
indicates, was not a diffident witnes
against his fellow theater manage
and answered questions as though h
wanted to be believed. For inpi.anci
when asked whether there wore an
signs of affection between Mr. Frazee
and Ml?s Nelson, ,Mr. Weber replied, ?
"Very much so." Another witness was'
Arthur Grant Delamater, another j
thentrical friend of Mr. Frazee, and
neighbor of Miss Nelson, at Great
Neck, who tcstlflod that he had fre?
quently seen Mr. Fraseo there. Mr.
Delamater testified that while ho and
Mr. Frazee were together in Toronto
| he heard the latter call up the Great
Neck house and speak to some one
there in "tender manner."
The financial arranjrement between
Mr. and Mrs. Frazee, is that tho hus?
band shall continue to pay his wife
the $12,000 a year he has been allowing
her under a stipulation made when the
suit was brought, that he pay Mrs.
Frazee, $40,000 within two years, until
which time that amount is to carry
Interest at six per cent a year, to give
her a one-half Interest in five life in?
surance policies aggregating $100,000,
that Mr. Frazee is to transfer to hi?
wife, his residence at Oak Park, Chi?
cago, subject to a mortgage of $2,600
and to make a will establishing a trust
of one third of his estate for Mrs.
Frazee, who is to receive the income In
quarterly instalments during her life.
Upon the death of Mrs. Frazee, tho
income is to be paid to her son until
his thirty-fifth year, when the principal
of the trust fund is to pass to the son,
As security for the nayment of the
promised $40,000 In two years, Mr.
Frazee deposited fifty-three shares of
stock of the Boston American baseball
club valued by him at $750 a share.
