Ee MISS NORMAND'S 'ILLNESS' BRANDED AS A FAKE | Attack of Appendicitis Regard- ed as Strategic. Move to Cover 'Up Scandal. Los Angeles, Jan. 17.--Informa- tion gleaned from confidential sour- ces yields the conclusion that Mabel Normand's illness is ome gigantic fake out of the whole cloth, After Dines' shooting, when the Normand managers realized what the certain publicity would mean in view of what had tran. spired in former film scandals, the slick idea was formulated of having Mabel rushed to a hospital, There interviewers would be barred, and the reports of her serious fliness would get her that gallant sym- pathy which might save the situa- tion. There are a hundred people here who know authoritatively that Miss Normand has not suffered any appendicitis attack. Miss Normand is healthy in every respect except in spirit. She is heartsick only. The opinion of those who should be "in the know" is that Dines was more closely associated with Edna Purviance thal with Mabel. But it was Mabel's chauffeur who fired the' shots, and therefore the burden of the publicity was doomed to fall on her. In prospect of her booked releases, it was deemed good flim polities to hide Miss Normand. Harold F. Malcolm was found guilty of murder as an accomplice in the slaying of Mrs. Mayme Big- ham, at Buffalo, N.Y. . Malcolm is the fourth man to fach death in the eleétric chair for one killing.
