NEW YORK,
dolph Valentino and Pola
Negri- were not engaged, but
the famous moVie star refused
to deny the reported romance
because “it will help Pola,”
the New York Evening Jour
nal stated today.
‘ Disclosed By Doctor
“This startling disclosure,” the
newspaper continues, “was made
today despite Pole’s dash across
the continent to the bier of the
great screen lover, despite her
tearful collapse at the funeral,
despite her vow that ‘I can never
love again.*
“It was made by Dr. Sterling
C. Wyman, who was Miss Negri’s
constant attendant during her stay
in New York. Doctor Wyman
said these facts were given to
him by S. George Ullman, Valen
tino’s manager and friend, who,
strangely enough, was among the
first to affirm public reports of
the engagement.
“Ullman told him, Doctor Wy

foundation for the talk of an en-

EMPLOTED

By Avwv
, SOMWWILLE, N. J., Sept.
3.—A possibility- that the mys
terious death of Miss Agnes
Breseale, a nurse, in
1923, might have some connec

Rev. Edward W. Hall and Mrs.
Eleanor Mills, was being run
down by investigators today.
Nurse For Carpender

ascribed to suicide at the time,
was nurse Henry B. Carpen

in the Middlesex county hospital
during the sessions of the Somer
set county grand jury which re
fused to indict Mrs. Frances S.
Hall, Carpender’s cousin. ,
Body Found in Creek
Both Mrs. Stevens and Carpender,
together with her brother, “Willie’’
Stevens, are now held for the mur
ders. ,
The girl’s body was discovered in
the shallow Water ot a creek a
month after she disappeared. x
The discovery followed a tele
phone call to the New Brunswick
police by a man' who said a gttrs
body was lying in the water. This
man’s identity was never learned.
There were certain mysterious
features about Miss BreauUe a
death, which inspired detectives to
work on the case. One of these
was that the girl’s hat was never
