WAS MYSTERIOUS “MR. SANDERSON”

FINGER MAN IN LEMOE KIDNAPING?

By Marian Ward

Two days ago beautiful Bette LeMoe left the stage of the theater where she was starring to the sound of tumultuous applause. There were curtain calls, and she returned for them. Then she went to her dressing room and made herself beautiful for the young man who was waiting at the stage door.

Her maid testifies she took particular pains with her dress and make-up, and seemed in a particularly happy frame of mind. She went out the stage door, humming happily to herself, and her “escort” greeted her affectionately.

They walked down the alley to the sidewalk. Suddenly a car slid up to the curb. In full sight of a crowd of theater goers, an armed man forced Bette LeMoe into the car. Her “escort” disappeared into the crowd.

Today I interviewed the maid who helped Bette LeMoe don her favorite dress, and the doorman who said “good night” to her when she left the theater, perhaps for the last time. Both of them mentioned the name of “Mr. Sanderson.”

A “Mr. Sanderson” had called for Bette LeMoe a number of times, had sent her many gifts, and talked to her frequently on the telephone. There appears to be no doubt that it was this same “Mr. Sanderson” who accompanied her on that last walk down the stage-door alley….

The clipping was torn off there. There was still the second one.
