Miss Wright Gould Not Leave the
Hoffman House, as Her Trunks Had
Been Seized.
From the New York Herald.
The exodus from the Hoffman house last
week when Proprietor Stokes announced
that the hotel would be closed during the
summer for rebuilding left two guests
still occupants of their rooms when all
the other guests had gone. They were
Mrs Marion Robinson Wright and her
daughter Miss Ida Dent Wright, who,
until recently, was engaged to be married
TO Vice President Antonio Ezeta, of Saliva
dor, now a refugee on an American man
of-War
Mrs and Miss Wright remained in the
hotel because they could not conveniently
leave, owing to the fact that Deputy
Sheriff McGinniss had full charge OF their
baggage, consisting of eight large trunks.
The deputy sheriff had taken charge of
the trunks under writ of attachment on
June II, to satisfy judgment amounting
to - 1924, obtained by the Artistic Pub
fishing Company. of No. Warren street,
against Mrs. Wright, for publishing two
books written by her, one on Mexico and
the other on Salvador. Mrs. and Miss
Wright remained at the hotel until Sat
urday evening, when the attachment on
able to leave
Miss Wright had appeared before
sherif's jury on Friday afternoon and
swore that five Of the eight trun ks
belonged to her and contained her we'd
ding trousseau and that the deputy
sheriff was not authorized to take pos
session of her property 20 satisfy judg-
ment secured against her mother.
Mrs. Wright wrote a book descriptive
r,FC tnlv
RANGED with the Artistic Publishing Com
pany, through its president, Mr.. William
son, for the publication of the work She
told President Williamson, it is said, that
the Salvadorean government would pay
for the publication of the work, and later
arranged for similar work on Mexico.
She gave to Mr.. Williamson an order on
the Salvadorean consul for 81, 900, but the
consul asserted that ne had no funds and
repudiated the draft.
Then Mrs. Wright gave her notes for
the amount of the bill, which was close to
$4,000. These notes were discounted by
the Publishing company, and when they
fell due were not paid, and the company
had to take them up.
Mrs. and Miss Wright had sailed for
Europe in the meantime to purchase the
wedding troUsseau, and it was announced
that the marriage would take place
early III OCtObeE, lOJO, Il MS ulOuJn passed
as did several others, and the notes were
not paid.
MIR. Williamson was walking through
the corridor of the Hoffman house one
evening recently when he saw trunk
which he recognized as belonging to Mrs.
Wright. He obtained a Judgment against
her the next morning and the deputy
sheriff was sent to seize her possessions.
1t is said the trunks contained costumes,
court dresses and diamonds and jewelry
valued at many thousand dollars.
President Williamson said to me yester-
day:
Il thought by attaching the trunks !
would get a settlement of my bill but
when Miss Wright claimed five Of them
and left me only three and learned !
would have to file a bond of Sl4, 900 to
! have the attachment on the remaining
three stand, concluded it was not worth
while to do it, and so let the attachment
| be vacated
Mr.. Williamson said Mrs. Wright had
! assured him that Vice President Ezeta
had 81 100000 with him when he fed from
Salvador and that his brother had like
amount.
! AT the hotel IL was said Mrs. Wright
and her daughter left no address when
| they went away.
