MIR. DICK TELLS HIS STORY.
He Thinks He Was Entrapped by DR..
COndOry and His Pretty Wife.
Wine suppers, two checks, an arrest, divorce
proceedings and suit for alternating the affec-
tions OF wife we're all followed by charges Of
'vagrancy and suspicion" against Dr.
vilmos Condory and his wife, Golds
Condory. The cases were called in
the Police Court today and many
persons were present to see the defendants and
hear the evidence, which it was thought would
be Of a sensational character. Messrs. John
N. Oliver and Lewis Cochran, the latter of the
Attorney Generals Office, appeared for the
woman and Mr.. D. W. Classic appeared for the
doctor.
MIR. Dumont was present the prosecuting
officer and assisted by Mr.. c. Maurice

doctor was called first

Mrs. L. Gambler was the first witness called,
and she testified that she has known the doctor
since January l. He lived in her house about
three weeks in January. She rented him and his
heard SO much about them that she changed
her mind and would not let them have the
house. The doctor then said he would enter
suit against her for damages. The evidence
was excluded because it had no bearing ON the
charge.
In stating his objection 70 the court Mr..
Classic said that his client had been treated in
scandalous manner in some papers, and he
did not think that such evidence should be
heard in court
Witness said that defendant told her he was
a doctor and was here for the purpose of max
ing money. He told her that he was q Hunga.
| rian and was specialist. On s-examina-
tion she said that the doctor had q sign on his
Office.
MR. DICK THINKS he WAS TRAPPED.
Ewel A. Dick, the next witness, said he was
a member of the bar and was a patent attorney
at present The doctor, he said, called at
witness Office and invited him to
call and see him. Witness accepted his
invitation. and called the following Friday.
When he called the doctor said he had busi-
ness that took him down in the city, but that
his wife would entertain him. Witness re-
| mained there a while and left after receiving
an invitation to take supper there some even
ing. On the Sd of March he went to the
house and Mrs. Condory told him that her hus-
band was in Baltimore. She told him that
supper had been prepared upstairs, and he
went up with her. After describing the scene
that followed he said the doctor came in, said
something which he (Dick) could not under
stand and then invited witness down to
settle the matter. When they arrived down
stairs the doctor presented two notes, one for
o., 600 and the other for 81, 900, and threatened
to kill witness if he did not sign the notes. He
signed them.
IT SEEMED LIKE A YEAR TO HIM.
"How long were you in the house2" asked
| the judge.
Fifteen minutes" replied witness, .'but
| 1t seemed like year to me-"
did you eat any supper"
"Yes, believe ate piece Of chicken and
DIR ank glass of wine"
when the doctor entered the room" con-
tinued Mr.. Dick. Il knew it was a blackmailing
scheme and picked up my hat and coat and
| started out"
Witness afterward received note from the
doctor and several visits from the woman.
The latter suggested that witness give
her %, 500 and she would go to Europe, as she
didn't care for the old man anyhow" but
witness thought as Nellie Bly, had gone around
the world for that amount the figure was little
high for a trip to Europe.
On CROSS examination witnesses said he had
been served with papers in civil suit and seen
the divorce proceedings Witness met Mra
Condory at different places by appointment and
the letters or notes that he sent to her he ad-
dressed as Dear Cola" or "Dear Col"
Sometimes he addressed the letters to Mrs.
Condory and at other times Mrs. Roberts.
Amid many objections witness continued his
story and told Of the various me etings between
the woman and himself and Of the hot punches
they drank at a restaurant
THE LETTERS PRODUCED.
Mr.. Classic produced letters which witness
identified as having been sect to the woman,
and said, as was expressed in one Of the letters,
that he took the champagne to the house with
him. The doctor, he said, was fond of sour
wines. but his wife was not fond of them.
At this juncture the court suggested that the
case be suspended for awhile until the cases
OF persons awaiting in the dock could be dis
posed.
The witnesses in the case were excused until
o'clock tonight.
