New Haven, Conn., March s.— The body of Lillian May Cook, an eigh-teen-year-old Brooklyn stenographer for whom the police pt three states have been searching for a week, was found in a lonely part of West Rock Park here. She had killed herself with a revolver taken from the office of the Mayo Radiator company of this city. where she was employed. Twenty minutes after the body had been found Virginius J. Mayo arrived upon the scene. Mayo, while admitting, according to the police, that he was the possessor of a dual personality and that Miss Cook fosmerly had been the employee and companion of Lois Waterbury, who as “Mrs. James Dudley, ' was maintained in a handsome home by him in Brooklyn, had denied emphatically that he knew anything about the whereabouts of his stenographer.

Miss Waterbury, according to Mayo’s story, is the mother of his two children. She was his stenographer until he had her moved to Brooklyn. In this city Mayo maintained another establishment next door to his radiator plant, which is presided over by his wife.

It was while Miss Cook was employed in the "Dudley” household that Mayo, according to the police version of the story, first met her. After taking a course of stenography in Brooklyn, she came to this city and was installed in Mayo’s office. She knew that Mayo and “James Dudley” were the same person, the police assert.
