Gambler's Girl Friend Won't Talk

MIAMI, Fla. (AP)-Virginia Hill, tempestuous, black-haired girl friend of slain gambler Benjamin (Bugsy) Siegel, arrived at Miami airport from New York and Paris Saturday and was taken in a police patrol car to her home at Sunset Island.

Miss Hill was met by detective Bill Murray and officer Wayne Miller of the Miami Beach police.

She refused to answer questions from newsmen.

"I'm not talking to you reporters," she said. "I have absolutely nothing to say to any of you. You Americans started all this anyway."

When newsmen persisted, she spat out: "I have nothing to say. Don't you understand English."
