Boston. Mass.. Feb. 13—While (lancing with Evans Spaulding in the Mont Martre cafe in New York, l eggy Hopkins Joyce suddenly stopped in the middle of* a two-step, with variations, and assaulted the young Boston captain of marines.

Then, according to Mrs. Spaulding, followed a dis graceful discussion that almost result ed in a riot call being sent out. Ill Presence of Son. The story was related by Mrs. Spaul ding in the presence of her son in the latter's stateroom aboard the Cun ard liner Andania. An atmosphere of mystery hovered over the txW as the mother of the young Bostonian brought him to the ilast Boston dock in a taxi. She went with him to his stateroom, later scanning the passen ger list and interviewing the purser. “As far as I know, Miss Hopkins is not aboard,” the purser assured Mrs. Spaulding. *‘I happen to know ! her q.uite well and if she were here we would all know It," he declared, I refusing to explain his rather cryptic statement.

Mother.” It was only when the last call came "all ashore who’re going ashore,” that Mrs. Spaulding finally left the side of her son. She whispered the last instructions in his ear. "Don't worry, mother; I won't see her," Evans replied impatiently. Young Spaulding admitted the as sault related by his mother. ."She thought I was flirting with another girl," he explained. "Rather inclined to resent that In a way. She did maul me up so badly that I had to stay indoors for two days. "I don't like all thisNfuss about Peggy. No, I don't know where she is now and I don’t expect to see her again, do I. mother?" "You do, but you won’t," said Mrs. Spaulding. "Not if I have anything to do with it. Those two days with her in Boston without my knowledge is quite enough," she snapped. No Clues Found to “Death Auto5’ Revelation of Driver's Identi ty May Become Matter of Honor, Detectives Say.
