...frosty morning of Jan. 13, 1932 the hard-riding, fox-hunting socialites of Loudoun County, Va. awoke to find murder in their midst. Sometime during the night Agnes Boeing Ilsley, widow of a well- to-do Wisconsin banker, had been brutally done to death in bed at her house in Middleburg. Also killed was her elderly white maid Mina Buckner. A butcher with a meat cleaver could not have done a gorier job. Nothing was stolen...

They had one daughter. In 1930 they, too, were divorced. Mr. Bullitt continued to travel in Europe every year, keeping up his personal contacts in London, Paris, Berlin and Vienna. His mind and manner seemed to please foreign statesmen as he told them what the U. S. was thinking and doing. In 1926 he published a novel (It Can't Be Done). Among his unproduced plays...
