George Francis Train Comes to Court ms
n Reporter for Canadian Papers, and
Gives n bouquet to O'Delin.
Mrs. Messant, or Nine. Diss Debar, or the
Princess Editha L~olita--which you please
was decorated with q pretty little nosegay by
Citizen George Francis Train when she re-
sumed her place before the bar of Judge Gil
dersieeve's court as chief of counsel and
chief of defendants in the progressing trial
Of herself and her " General"
The EVENING WORLD reporter was similarly
honored by Psyche" who announced in
his own bold, erratic hand writing, with
red and blue pencils, that he had Joined the
press army as correspondent for several
Canadian newspapers.
Officer Pete Seaman performed the delicate
duty of presenting Psycho's bouquet to the
madame, and the reporter said to Mr.. Train (:
Then what they say is true? You are q
leading Spiritualist ~
"Ha, ha! They always say that" replied
the sage of Madison Square.
Well, if I am. 1 am the head devil, for
the mediums can never do anything when I
ar present. They invite me, but 1 seem to
drive away the spooks. No, but candidly I
am not. ! AM only an Anarchist"
The citoyen's grayish- blue eyes were fixed
upon the reporter, and he went on: But
Marsh! Marsh is the greatest man in New
York. l am going 10 have him to preside
over my Chickering Hall meeting"
MI. Train wore a huge full blown peony
on his lapel and it, his crown of white hair
and his sea-tan face were the cynosure of all
eyes during the morning. He took his seat
among the reporters and made copious notes
during tue proceedings.
Georga Q. Y. Solomon, the disavowed
brother Of Ann O'Deiia, was still in the wit
ness-box this morning and Assistant District
Attorney Davis continued reading the CORE
sponGence between him and his sister, which
was offered to snow that the madame always
held him to be her brother and thus ad-
dressed him, speaking of Prof. and Mrs.
Solomon as her parents.
1t there were heretofore any doubt as to
whether madame was the daughter of Lola
MonteZ and the imbeciie King Ludwig, as
she claims, or of plain Prof. Solomon and his
wife. it must have been disabused by the
similarity of certain peculiarities possessed
by her and George Solomon.
Each has a marked popularity of hoarse-
ness, scantiness of voice, and each is of a
strangely nervous temperament, which finds
expression in exactly the same gestures, half
altlculated. CALCULATIONS and exhibitions of
irrepressible temper, which could not be the
result merely of a similar environment in
childhood.
Solomon said 1.-THE first I ever hessd
that that woman, who is unfortunately my
sister, was called Editha Lolita Montez was
when it struck me in q Cincinnati paper in
ut was when she began to swindle right
and left. Yes, she is my sister, and when
her and take care of her. I've thrown up
business to take care of this case"
You don't want to put your sister in
prison, do you ?"
him answer" And Lawyer Boyd said NV
client insists that press the question" 49,,
Well, your client is out Of her mind! "a
there is some good III that girl yet, All she
wants is a years rest in body and mind"
Mr.. Boyd began on Mr.. .Salomon's habits,
I and the excited witness jerked out - Any
man born in Kentucky who doesn't drink
would steal"
But when Mr.. Boyd suggested that he
drank rye whiskey he retorted:
No, SIR! A man who drinks rye whiskey
will lose his mind. 1t must be straight corn"
Mr.. Solomon declined to say whether he
had been arrested fort mine times because it
would tend to degrade him.
Mr.. Townsend attempted to slur the Dis
trict-Attorney's Office by the implication that
4 Solomon, who Is unemployed. obtained the
money which ne loaned to With ess Sands
bury. from that Office. but subsidized under
reproof from the Court.
SalOmons excltenlent grew as tne exami-
nation continued, and there was a running
fight, in which Judge. Gildersleeve. Town
send, Boyd, Davis, Solomon and the mad
anne all took a hand.
What are you driving at ?" demanded the
witness of Mr.. Townsend.
The Court I led 10 still him and remarked,
Til witness is very excitable and u.
No, Judge, I'm not excitable at all but
that Townsend -
Judge Gildersleeve was trying to drown
out the voice of Solomon, and Mr.. Townsend
ing thai i'm adame essayed to say anything
the officer silenced her, and she was more
excusable for being eYcitahle.
Townsend had finally put his foot in 1t SO
far as the question of birth was concerned,
for Judge Gildersleeve remarked, Yes,
the witness and the defendant seem to be
very much alike"
Inspector Byrnes testified and then a re-
cess was taken.
