HAW IS SILENT ‘ON ROMEO LIF IN COURT TODAY
Talks With Fourth Wife and|
Lafayette Girl on Repaying ‘Loans.’
| CHICAGO, Aug. 11 (U. P.) —Howard L. Shaw, 34,
of his sweethearts and let a fifth]. one finance his lavish honeymoon, |: stood mute today when arraigned]:
on confidence game and bigamy charges based on his transition from a plasterer to a Romeo.
+ He shifted his weight, plucked at} the tiny mustache which women |; had found charming, but said noth-|. ing during a brief appearance before |;
Judge Eugene L. McGarry on complaints of his night club Hose fourth wife and her mother that he mulcted them of a “borroweq” $2300. Judge McGarry set bond at $10, 060 and continued the hearing to Aug. 18 at the request of Assistant State’ Attorney Joseph O’Connor, to allow | time to contact’the third wife, MIs. } Mary Comstock Shaw, Lakewood, O., to substantiate the bigamy charge.
g \ Wife No. 4 Glares
Miss Janina La Boda, 27, wife No. 4 whom he had wooed and won with a brace of Great Danes and a 12-cylinder automobile ‘financed by . $17,000 worth of “loans” from Miss Janet Middleton, 26, his Lafayette, Ind. fiancee, was present, but took no part in the proceedings except to glare at her plasterer-Lothario. Despite a rough shave andjrumpled clothing, he gave a creditable showing last night of the poise and personality that made him a star in romance. He faced Miss La Boda. and her mother, Miss Middleton and her father, Arthur, Rochestér, N. Y., chemist, now a professor at Purdue University. He sat between Miss La Boda and Miss Middleton on a bench at police headquarters. Criticized by Mother
He said he had $32,000 in life insurance policies and promised to repay the majority of the loans with them. By the time he had finished talking Miss Middleton had called him “darling” and, before leaving, placed her hands on his coat lapels and held a whispered conversation with him in a corner. She had defended his intelligence at one point in the interview. * Miss La Boda and her mother, Mrs. Gertrude Anderson, were less friendly. {. Mrs. Anderson wept, and at one point roundly berated Shaw. - Miss La Boda said she only wanted one thing—the money Shaw had “borrowed” from her to buy a limousine. “I'll take money every time,” Miss Middleton agreed. “I'd rather have the money and be a ‘Miss’” : Put His 1. Q. at 116 1 “I've got nothing but life insurance, $32,000 of it, with my mother as beneficiary,” Shaw said. “I'll sign it over to Miss Middleton and the others.” . Police Sergt. James Lynch conducted the interview. He had been looking for Shaw's first two wives and shortly before the interview had | received word from a Rushville, Ind., | girl that Shaw resembled a man who | had obtained $16,000 from her after promising marriage. He started to upbraid Shaw. Miss Middleton interrupted, to defend Shaw’s intelligence. “My father didn’t approve of him,” she said, “and I gave him an I. Q. His score was, 116. That's neargenius.”
