Mltw Purviance described the Hcene
In Dines apartment before tho arri
val of Greer as an informal gathering
of three good friends on a New Year's
afternoon, during which "It would be
foolish to say that there was nothing
to drink."
"But there was not a great deal to
drink," she added, "and none of us
drank very much.' I know that Mabel
was not Intoxicated, and neither was
I and neither was Mr; Dines. -
"When he said he must drew for
dinner I stepped into the room just
off the living room and took out my
powder puff and powdered my pose.
Mabel stepped In just behind mo. ' At
that instant there were three shots in
tho other room." -

the two women endeavoring to
staunch Dines' wound.
Miss Normand did not at first
realize that a shooting had occurred,
she told police detectives and news
papermen at hor home yesterday,
"Tho threo shots sounded to her
like firecrackers," she explained.

"It was given to mo to shoot bottles

The actress was rTnindod that
