Elly Rometsch added mystery when she contradicted her own statements that she had known and catered to prominent Wash ingtonians. She said she had Just been bragging when* she strewed names around. Her husband, who filed for divorce after they return ed to Europe, said she had been frightened into changing her story by men who flashed credentials as U S. security agents.
