Vehement denial "Nipt his son Dnynrd
w8 engaged te Pnullnc Virginia Clnrk,
the Bosten Artists' model ami -divorcee,
nhe commuted gOlcldc during n party
t her apartment Thursday night, was
mnde today by Henry Wharten, of 8023
"Gcrmahtejvii avenue, Chestnut Hill.
Iteperts from llosten quoted. Miss
Ona t. Cosskieef Worcester, Mns.,
one of the.se at the pffrty, as having
stated that the engagement was an
nounced lust twenty mlnutca before
the model drank the- poisonous notation
which ended her life, and that no denial
vhr made by Bayard Wharten.' who
was ale present, and whs remained te
help the police in their investigation.
Jt Js also said that she had premised
te sec no mere of Otte II. Larsen, the
moody young Norwegian student who
furnished her with the poiBen nnd
killed himself three days later by the
tame means, leaving behind a letter
telling of their mutual love.
"It is net true," wild Mr. Wharten,
He., today. "Homebody is manufac
turing these stories.
"Jlayard never said he was engaged
te marry the girl, and last Saturday
morning when I talked te him ever the
telephone he set everything right.
"It is easy enough for any person te
make statements, but he far ns my son
is concerned, I knew .this report te be
untrue."
Miss 'Cosskie's Story
Miss Cesskle said that when the
party gathered in Miss Clark'H apart
ment the model announced informally,
"Hajard and I are te be married en
Saturday."
"The announcement was somewhat of
a surprise," Miss Cesskle asserted.
"Mr. Wharten smiled, as If somc semc
uhat embarrassed, but effered no com cem
irtcnt w hatseevcr. Larsen said nothing.
Nothing we Baid during the party by
ihc parties concerned, or the ether
people, as te any possible objections en
the part of Mr. Wharten's people te
4hls marrying Pauline.
"I don't think that Pauline under
stood Larsen. He was of a morbid,
highly Intellectual disposition and was
always talking of the deeper things of
life. Pauline was a well-educated girl,
and, being of a sympathetic nature,
way have appeared te respond fully te
Larsen's theories of life. Perhaps In
Iter sympathetic nature he had found a
woman he thought agreed completely
with his pcculfar views.
"I cannot help but believe that there
wis somewhat of an intellectual bend
between them.
"With the exception .of Larsen, who'
appeared during the evening te be just
as I nau seen mm en iwe previous oc
casions, every one was gay and care
free. Pauline went about with" a per
fume bottle In her hand and sprinkled
it ever me. The smell of it is still in
my hair. Everybody seemed happy,
and all congratulated Mr. Wharten and
Pauline.
Wharten Put Bandage en Girl's Ankle

the evening and Paullnc'B weak ankle

It is all a mystery te me. I cannot

think that she probably wanted te be
spectacular that night and touch her
lips with the poison te keen these

the mere touch would cause the end.
Either that or because of having the
