She is a resident nf ru. tornia and the widow' of the late George Hearst, one of the California bonanza kings" and a United States senator. In early life Mrs. Hearst was a school 'teacher and in her -later years she has devoted much pf her wcanii 10 me advanfeement of educa tion. She has established and main- ;.cuiieu. , Kindergarten training schools in San Francisco, in Washington, and at Lead, S. D.; where her principal mining interests are located. She do nated a Quarter of a million dollars to the National Cathedral School for Girls in Washington and erected and equiped the mining building at -'the University of California as a me morial to her husband. Mrs Hearst is' the mother of William v J Hearst, well-known newspaper nub- Iisher- and one-time Congressman. 1 Wt&jMm f.m mmMwmm , was npt legally married to Keyes; -'she would be as soon as she could over come his' parents' objections to ..her. The . ownership of the revolver which cairsed Mrs. Keys' death' is I said to have been determined, but the j police have' declined to say to whom it belonged. In the early stages of the case it was emphatically stated that It did not belong to the husband of the slain woman. I 7 - . r . z Mme. !

He is said to., have been married! at the time and later divorced. Hi's marriage to the young woman who was shot to death onJ June 19 occurred in New York about 10 months before the date of the J1- leered murder. , Many stories have been put in cir culation that Miss Varney annoyed Keyes, who tried to avoid her, but other stories show him to have buon a frequenter of places where sha Cf ner relatives lived, even since mai, i viage to the woman of whose muri "t Miss varney stands accused. , On the day on which Mrs. Keyes was found dead, Miss Varney left her home in Upton, explaining to her rel atives that she was. cpmnig to Bos ton to take a place as nurse in a. hos pital. She returned home the next day, however, but offered no explana tion of h,er failure to take the place in the hospital, nor of her visit to ' Boston. Following her arrest, howev-J er, she is said to have declared that ' at the time Mrs. Keye3 is supposed to have met her death she (Miss Var-1 'ney) was taking lunch with Mr. Keyes in Boston. , Have Hair Like "20" It's never too late to get rid of gray j in hair.
