Woman Perfectly Calm. Attaches of tho coroner’s office caught Simon by tho arm and held him hark. The woman, In spite of going through a fearful application of the "third de gree” at police headquarters, was un shaken, calm, even cold. The shout ing crowd that surged about her as .she emerged from headquarters to go to tho criminal court building, apparently left her absolutely unmoved. Young Simon said the baroness had worked under his .direction for five days ns a designer at a salary of $40 a week. She was to have been employed for six weeks. Salesman Tells of Row. The coroner also took the deposition of Anderson H.

"I heard Mr. Stxhon talking to this woman. She asked fur her money and Mr. Simon told her to come bock later. Then there were words which I did not hear clearly. Finally Mr. Simon said, ‘It you don't go away from here I will get a policeman and have you put out.' There Were Three Shots. "Then there were three shots,” de clared Travis, "and Just as I ran up I saw a black dress disappearing out of the door.’’. , * The coroner’s examination of the baroness was brief. She put In a for mal plea of not guilty and was tnken to the Tombs' and locked In "murderer.-’ row” In the woman’s section of tho prison In the cell formerly occupied by Nan Patterson, the "Florodora" chorus girl.
