Los Angeles, Cal., May 26.—Break ing the silence he had maintained for 36 hours, William S. Hart, famous "two gun" hero of the movies, in an exclusive interview declared he ha-1 only sympathy and sorrow for Miss Elizabeth MacCaulley of Boston, who has retracted her sensational charges that he was the father of her6-year old boy. t With tears In his eyes the famous portrayer of western roles on the screen declared that from informa tion he had received from Boston, he knew Miss MacCaulley must be suffering—suffering as he had suf fered before the charges against him had been cleared and her statement completely vindicated him. Hart said that his sympathy %ent out to her in her hour of distress. “1 know Miss MacCaulley must be suffering and she need not suffer more," the actor declared in a broken voice that came between heavy gulps. "I have no intention of bringing any action against her. It is a case for God—the highest court. The whole thing—I want to consider a closed chapter. I never hit a woman when she was up and I am certainly not going to hit -Miss MacCaulley, now that she is down.” Answered Letters. Hart, declared he first knew of Miss MacCaulley In 1916 when she wrote him “fan” mall and he was starring in films. Her letters arrest ed his attention, he said, because of her flawless English and led him to believe she must he a woman of un usual intelligence, and he answered them. “In December, 1916, I met her In person. When I returned from the studio one evening my sister told me the woman who had written me such fine letters from Boston was in Los Angeles and had called by telephone. I suggested that she be invited out for dinner, which my sister did. When she came to the house was the first time I had seen her. "Only once did I see her alone. That was a night or so later when I took her to a local cafe for din ner. We were together than about two hours. Then I left her With friends who had been with her when we met that evening. After that I saw her a few times, certainly not more than three or four times. As I went to work I met her as she was walking with her dog near Westlake park. I would be parsing in my ma- I chine and would draw in to the curb to chat_with her a few minutes, and would leave the motor running. She used to object to that, I remember, and tell me it was not very courte ous Knows of :■« Trust Fund. "I realize now the woman must have had some sort of a weird at tachment for me. hut as far as demonstrations of affections on eith er of our parts there were none," he said. | Speaking fiimly and without heslta ; tion Hart declared he never knew that a trust fund had been provided for the hoy which Miss MacCulley claimed was his. However, he ad mitted that this might have been ar ranged by other persons who had money invested in his films and had Engineer Hurt in Wreck Sues U.

The thought that the woman brought the charges against him for the purpose of wringing money from him never entered his mind, Hart said. “Why—why—?” And tears came to his eyes as he leaned forward and in a cracked voice went on, "would I hesitate to care for the child if he were mine when, under the Cali fornia law, he would be a more direct beneficiary than my own dear little son.” He paused here. His face writhed in unmistakable pain as he recalled the separation from his own wife and child. As for his future plans. Hart said he had none at present that he has a standing agreement with a local production company that when he does reenter pictures he will do so for them. > (Copyright. 1923.)
