SILKW0RMS HER HOBBY
Mrs. Elizabeth Baldy Arrested in
Baltimore for Fraud.
Well Known I'm This City, Where
She Operated for u Number
of Years.

Mrs. Eliza beth F. Baldy, who some years
ago gained notoriety in Washington through
her connection with a concern which pur-
ported to be organized 10 raise siIkwOrrns
on farms in Anne Argnd!e county. Nd,
and also 10 create a silkworm industry,
was arrested yesterday IN Baltimore, and
held in $500 bail for court.
Mrs. Badly was quite well known in Wash
ington few years ago. She had an office
in the Atlantic building and TO all appear
ances was a successful female capitalist.
Her transactions were regarded by some.
however, as unsafe, and more than one
clnplaint reached headquarters.
She had been here but Il short time when
she started IA company for The raising of
silkworms. Many persons put money
into the scheme, ana one man from Texas
invested several thousand dollars. Land
was procured in Anne Arundle county and
some cocoons placed in process OF genera
tion.
La some places mulberry trees were
planted in abundance, and for a short time
the Southern Land and Silk Company, as it
was called, seemed to be on the road to
obtttss. IL Suutchig ibiiupSSus
and with It went ali the money invested.
Mrs. Badly went TO Baltimore. AT an
other time, while in Washington, she ad-
vertised for young man to take charge
OF an office here and give several hun
| dred dollars security. The young man was
found and also the cash. There was some
| trouble between employer and employe
about the security, and Mrs. Badly again
left the city.
While in Baltimore complaints have
been frequent, aud about a year ago she
was arrested in New York on a charge
OF working fraudulent scheme The ar
rest yesterday was on warrant charg
ing her with obtaining So from Emma
Slocum, culored. Thecolored womans tated
that several weeks ago she saw an adver-
tisemcnt in a paper stating that good
writer's were wanted at No. 200 North
Liberty street. She says that she called
ut the place and saw Mrs. Baldy. The lat
ter took So from her, and, the woman sa VS.,
told her that she would notify her when
she had work for her.
She also gave her u receipt which called
for a years subscription to a paper called
Golden Era The colored woman said she
| received the paper, but she did not wantit,
and gave up her So with the promise that
she would get work. Mrs. Baldy said that
the money was paid for a subscription TO
the paper. Justice Sultzer stated that n
! number of similar complaints had reached
him, and he proposed that the court
should settle it. Mrs. Badly was held in
the sum OF $500.
Later in the afternoon Mrs. Baldy was
released on $500 surety. ri
