Tale Is Fiction, She Says, and
Preseton Arnot Is a "Fool,”
Not Paul.
NEITHER IS SHE THE HEROINE
Scottish Adonis, All Innocence,
Seen in Fireplace Glow. In
spired Fervid Romance.
Special Cable to The American.
PARIS, De<V 6.—Elinor Glyn, graoe-
fully reclining on an eighteenth cen
tury couch In the loveliest boudoir of
which a woman can conceive, smlDd
when The Amerlcan> correspondent
showed her the report that John Prese-
ton Arnot, who recently remarried his
former wife. Countess Marietta, of
Spain and Pittsburg, claims he Is the
hero of "Three Weeks.”
"He can only be a crank or a fool!”
she exclaimed. "Therefore, whv
should I proceed against him? I
would do so only if he had the Im
pudence to hint that he Is the hero
and I the heroine.”
The mere possibility of such a sug
gestion stirred the author, w'ho, leap
ing to her feet and her hand clenched,
her eyes blazing, said:
"In such a case my sm<Jl, smooth
hands will prove tipped with claws. I
will tear the man to piece®."
Makes Dramatic Figure.
She made a dramatic figure against
the background of purple silk. She
was dressed In a simple, tight-fitting,
low-cut black velvet gown, her ma<i>
of Titian hair supplying the oniy
touch of color. Her anger quickly
evaporated.
"I had intended to keep secret how
J came to write ‘Three Weeks’ until
my death, hut I see now to relate It
will be the best way to kill this leg
end about Its here.
"It was the assassination of Queen
Draga of Servla that first gave me the
Idea. The fact that a beautiful wom
an could be slain in cold blood
awakened my sense of the dramatic.
Later on. at Christmas time, after a
hard day’s shooting, I was sitting by
a monumental fireplace in a historic
Scottish castle. Opposite me was a
youth of perfect beauty, with tho
feature® of Adonis. His blue eyes re
flected utter Innocence of feminine
wiles. I asked myst f. ‘What would
you be if your soul were suddemy
kindled by love?’
"This psychological problem long
haunted me Finally I worked it out
in 'Three Weeks.* 7 decided the her
oine should be a queen and a Russian,
•because there is no doubt the psv- I
ohology of the Slav women is the
most complex and mo®t interesting, i
Lake Lucerne on a summer night ap- |
pealed to me as the most Idealistic fori
the tale of the unsophisticated Eng- I
lishman’s lovemaking I went there |
and worked rapidly for a fortnight,
the chapters flowed from my pen
without effort. Then, Jaded. I went
to Venice to recuperate, and the mys
tic city of historic intrigues suggest
ed to me a fine setting for the la®t
stage of Paul’s romance.”
Godbee Motion for
New Trial Put Off at
Counsel’s Request
December 18 Date of Hearing Al
gatlon* Made of Prejudice by
Three Jurors.
AUGUSTA, Dec. 6 — At the request
of Solicitor General Moore and the
other attorneys for the State, Judge
Hammond to-day i>ostponed the con
sideration of the motion for a new
trial for Mrs Edna Perkins Godbee
until Thursday, December 18.
The attorneys for the State had
been unable to see the amended mo
tion for a new trial until a few min
utes before the hearing was called
to-day.
The amended motion charges that
the court erred in many instances in
charging the Jury; that three Jurors
were prejudiced, and that aach «>f the
three stated before the trial that Mrs.
Godbee should hang. The Jurors
mentioned are Samuel Palmer, the
foreman, and Hoyt D. Brinson and
George W. Johnson. It is claimed
that Palmer made the statement that
the defendant ought to hang to O. R.
Brown at Stellavllle; that Brinson
told J. M Brinson that she ought to
have her neck broken, and that John
son also said she ought to have her
neck broken.
Mrs. Godbee was convicted at Mll-
len in September and given a life
sentence for the murder of her former
husband, Judge W. T. Godbee and his
second wife, Mrs Florence Boyce
Godbee.
