May 10, 1891.
Several OF the burlcsque actress ac
quaIntaDcrs to whom the note was shown
we're sure that il vas M her handwriting,
although thy we're surprised 10 hear that
she was in town. The statement IN the
note was c]orr0borated bv Mr.. john A.
I Carver Of the law firm Of Shearmau q
Sterling, who are acting Tor the Osl orn
estate
Il can site au'horitivelv he said.
that Miss Tcmulcton is not Mr. Osborn $
wife. In fast, | had il from her own
lius nuly a few weeks ago. Mr. Charles
II. De Witt. one of Mr.. Osborn's
friends who was quoted this morning a.
having stated that they were married,
came to our office and denied that he had
said anything Of the kind Then | am
sure that there is very little in these
stories about Howell Osborn's delts, for
everything has been practically settled. "
Mr.. Carver himself was under the i'm
preston that Fay Templcton was in
Europe, In Europe" SAID a man about
town Yesterday. Fay TemDleton Is
known only as Mrs. Osborn. Osborn
keeps up a large establishment at los
Boulevard St Pierre. where the two
have lived in great style. Fay has several
carriages at her disposal with the Osborn
coat of arms upon them, and the tapes
tries 10 the apartments she occupies have
the letters f. o. upon them. The first
floor Of the establishment is divided into
= drawing room and a writing room. On
the second floor are her apartments, and
they are fitted up luxuriou-ly. The third
floor is one large room fitted up as a salon.
Here is a baccarat table extending the
whole length Of the apartment. IL will
seat forty persons or so at a time. On
the fourth floor is a room with a regula-
ton green baize table for poker playing,
while IN a back room are two billiard
tables.
"A few months ago Osborn presented
a silver toilet set of considerable cost to
Fav. and every one of the pieces had IF.
o.. inscribed upon it. She was known as
Fay Osborn to all Americans living in
Paris
Young Osborn has incurred many debts
during his stay 10 Europe, a. has been
evidenced by the suits which have been
brought against him here in New York
Dave Gideon. the bookmaker,. ran across
him in London one day last year, and Os
torn confessed himself broke, and pleaded
Tor the loan Of a few hundred pounds.
Gideon is said to have let him have 81,
600. which he aiterward sued for in this
city, but failed to get.
There are those who think that Fay is
really married to Osborn, aud that her de
NAL Of this was made at the request of
Osborn himself. A rumor was circulated
in the early part OF the spring that they
had been married in some town in Con-
necticut. This was while Fay was star
ring in Russells farce-comedy Hiss
McGhtH
Fay Templeton first met Osborn when
she was playing babrlclle Ia grange
line in this city. They went to Europe
together and returned in a year or SO.
Then the young man fitted up a cottage
for her at Saratoga, and she announced
that she was going to marry MN. Os-
born sailed for Paris last month, and it
was generally understood hat Fay went
along about the same time.
The antipathy OF the late Mn. Osborn
to the actress has been well known to
Now York society, aud the provision IN
the will which debars her sons children
BY any actress from receiving the trust
estate after young Osborn's death was
not a surprise. She had cndcavOred to
persuade her son to have nothing further
to do with Miss Templcton. So strongly
did she feel on the subject that the casual
mention Of Fay Temrlcton s name was
sufficient to drive the color from her
cheeks.
