men 10 help her seize the trees, and drove on
with them.
Mrs. Jordan. wife Of the broker, followed and
had the men arrested. They were released by

sponsiblity for the alleged theft. Mr.. Jordan fol-
lowed and demanded the surrender OF the trees.
Chief Foley said he could not give them 10
him unless he proved that they had been stolen.
Jordan theTeupon charged his mother with
stealing the trees.
In court Mrs. Jordan told Justice Bard that
the trees were hers, but that she had let her son
