Ruefully President Stampleman told of how he had been introduced to brunette Helen Conboy in 1933, had taken her to Boston for a four-day "platonic" sojourn at the Statler Hotel. Not long thereafter Detective Krone approached Mr. Stampleman, arranged for $5,000 to persuade Miss Conboy not to sue Mr. Stampleman for doping and assaulting her.
