to Have Invented

WASHINGTON. D. c., July 3d. Especial
telegram to The HERALD. The Erening
Critic prints the following: About the 1st
OF June there arrived in Washington from
Salt Lake city man named Robert Bulls.
VINO claimed he had motor with which he
proposed to revclutionize the world. He
had shown his little invention to a number
OF men In Salt Lake, and they had advanced
him $500 with which to pay his expenses
and permit him to obtain patent. He had
been In Washington several weeks, and as
the men who had advanced the money did
not hear from him, they came to the con-
cluslon that they had been vlctimized. Some
time ago, Mr.. Hugh Turner, of Salt Lake
city, started out on a visit to his old home
at Augusta, Maine, and it was suggested to
him to stop over in Washington and see
what had become of Bulls aud the 500.
Bulls was found and he made the plea that
ne had been sick and unable to attend to
business. He succeeded in getting Mr..
Turner interested in his invention to such
an extent that he invested nearly thou
sand dollars in squaring I'D old accounts
and helping Bulls along toward securing
Last week Bulls gave out that his gre at
invention had been perfected and that
through his attorney, Mr.. Stainer. of New
ork, the motor had been sold to two rail
road companies for Sl25,O0O. One of these
companies he said was the New York Cen
tral and the other the Boston & Albany. In
order to get to New York however. the
great inventor had to make another pull on
MT. turner's purse string and the latter
lett have $50 more. Days passed by and
as no report came from Bulls in New
York, Turner followed him to the metropo-
lis. Here he found there was no such at
torney as had been named by Bulls. neither
hao ne negotiated sale with any railway
companies. Turner could not find the man
who had done him up, so he returned to
washington and reported the circumstan-
ces to the Inspector of swindles who de-
tailed Detective Carter on the case From
the information that the latter gained he
came to the conclusion that Bulls would
come back to Washington. Last night he
jumped from the platform of the New
York limited at the Baltimore & Potomac
depot and Carter nailed him. Bulls an

A BRAINLESS LORDLING
Is What Wertheimer Called Lady Dunlo's
Husband and She Wept

Especial TO THE Observation-Disclosures Cable !
LONDON, July 30.-In continuation of
Lady Dunlo's evidence in the Dunlo divorce
suit, she denied point blank under severe
cross-examination that any improper rela
lions had ever existed between Werthemer
and herself. She admitted Wertheimer
had stigmatized her husband as brainless
lordling. She was much hurt at his re-
marks and wept, but subsequently forgave
him.
lsador Wertheimer, the correspondent,
was called. His presence created a de-
cided sensation in the court room He is a
nashlly dressed young man about twenty
SIX. His story was pretty much repeti
ton OF Lady Dunlos account of their re-
lahons, with the addition of some in
terestlng details bearing mainly upon
the fact that he went to a
certain shop to make purchases
Wertheimer swore that while he had SUD-
piled Lady Dunlo with money before her
marriage he had never done so since: he
had given her presents but nothing more.
He stoutly denied that their friendship had
ever been further than platonic and stated
he would have gladly married her at any
time, but was sorry TO say she wouldn't
have him.
Half dozen witnesses, including H
Billion, were called to testify that in spite
OF every favorable opportunity they had
never seen any improperly between the
parties. Lord Dunlo was then recalled and
denied emphatically the story that he, with
two others, had tossed up to see which
should marry Belle Billion
