Hart Has Sympathy for
Woman Who Accused Him
“Two Gun” Hero of Movies Says Miss MacCaulley,
Who Charged He Was Father of Her Son, Need
Sorrow No More—Will Not Bring Action
\-“Is Case for God.”
By International New* Service.
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

"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

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

rather pay the money than have the
undesirable publicity.
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.
