"I had myself tied up in knots," Mr. Van Loon was quoted as ex- plaining a few weeks ago at his 9.55 bome in Vecre, Holland, where his 1esidence for the past year and a half with his second wife, the for- Imer Helen "Jimmie" Criswell of Greenwich Village, is being. cited by Miss Goodrich, his third wife, as the basis for her suit. "I had to have myself straightened out."

Goodrich,

Only four witnesses were presented by Henry A. Uterhart, counsel for Miss Goodrich, and the hearing pe cupied just a little more than thirty minutes.

It was established that Mr. Van Loon and Miss Goodrich were mar- ried on October 11, 1927, but that, he is now, or was recently, living in Holland with the second Mrs. Van Loon, whom he rejoined a few months after his marriage to the ictress..

Miss Goodrich herself offered the evidence of her marriage to the author, and was followed on the witness stand by Kate Drain Law- son, Maurice A. Manline, of the Hotel Bristol, vice-president and European representative of Horace Liveright, Mr. Van Loon's pub- lishers, and Benjamin W. Huebsch, also a publisher.

The three last mentioned told of visiting Mr. Van Loon and his com- panion at their home on the island of Walcheren, Holland, last year, and of recognising the woman as Mr. Van Loon described as rather small lady with grey hair," and Mr. Manline as "a thinnish body, with greyish, mannishbobbed hair.

The Referee's Decision. Charles Recht, representing Mr. Van Loon, hastily answered "No, no," to Referee Barr's question whether he would offer a defence, and, in fact, it was indicated that the most amicable negotiations ac companied the suit....

The referee, however, announced he could not include in the record an agreement for a property sättle- ment reached between Mr. Van Loon and Miss Goodrich after their scparation, and said he would be unable to recommend maintenance. Referee Burr, by directing coun- sel for Miss Goodrich to submit findings within ten days, indicated the would-rommmend. granting
