STILL ANOTHER NAME.
To Mrs. Refine Daubrenet, who conducts
steam laundry, the Frenchman intro
duced himself as Count De Lille. He
wanted to buy piece of property she
| owned near OakwoOd Cemetery and only
a short distance I'm the country. He was
buying lands, he stated, for the Trans
| atlantique Company, Of which his uncle,
| Mr.. Forget, was the New York agent
| Upon Mrs. Daubrenet requesting him to
| get in buggy and go out with her
nephew, Gabriel Marceau and see the
| place, he showed disinclination to do so,
| but finally consented. When he arrived
1 o
the buggy, but said the property was all
right. lie did not make her an offer
for IT, however. but piled her with ques-
| tons regarding her finances which she
| refused To answer. He seemed very
| averse to leaving her house as promptly
| as he might, and asked her If she would
not cook him a good dinner saying he
| had hardly had a good meal served to
| him since he had been in this country.
| Mrs. Daubrenet declined to comply with
| his request.
While at her house DeIigne also said
| that he could get her nephew employ
ment with the Transatlantique Company,
| in New York, but ne would have to send
a cablegram TO the president, in Paris.
| The nephew, however told him that he
| was quite satisfied TO live in Richmond
| Deligne told Mrs. Daubrenet that he was
| a bosom friend OF Count de Castellane,
who married Miss Gould. Mrs. Daubrenet
| said while he talkel like an educated
Frenchman, his language did not lead
her to believe that he belonged to the
nobility.
A TALK WITH CAHEN.
Samuel Cahen, one of the first men TO
whom Deligne went when he arrived
here, and who. from information received
| from New York, is thought to know some
| thing of the Burden diamond rob-
| berry, was also seen yesterday He
| is a huckster in the Second Market,
| and lives at No. 905 east Broad street
! Cahen says he knows absolutely nothing
| OF the Count, except that the man came
| to him and introduced himself as a
| Frenchman. He AYERS that he never saw
| the Count before. doesn't know him. and
| hasn't the faintest idea whether he was
| implicated In the jewel robbery In New
| York or not, despite the fact that the
| New York police seem to think he
| Cahen) is worth talking TO on the sub
| ject.
"Do you know whether the man who
calls himself Deligne is in any way con-
nected with the robbery of the Burden
jewels?" asked the reporter.
IL don't know anything about It," re-
piled Cahen
do you think he had anything to do
with the disappearance OF the Burden
jewelry?"
81 wouldn't like TO say"
do you know anything about the
Burden robbery
mo, don't l have been away, and
| don't bother my head about such
things. l went 10 South America last
March from Richmond. and came back
last October"
"Ihen you know nothing to connect
the Count with that robbery"
mo. / know nothing of the robbery,
except what | heard. and 1 can't even
remember the date OF II. | never read
line about 1t in the newspapers. and only
heard about il on the outside"
HE SAW THE TAILOR.
Novi. French tailor at Simon's
store, was another person seen by De-
ligne. The Count told the tailor that
he was a good fellow. that he liked
him, and mad heard about him. He
was going TO give him a nice situation
He then asked the tailor how he would
like TO have a lucrative situation with
the Generate Transatlantique Line. The
tailor was delighted with the idea, but
when the Count asked him for 50 70
pay the cost of a cablegram, the tailor
grew suspicious, and said he had not
that much money. The Count then ex-
pressed his willingness to take almost
any sum Of money. He promised that
Noyi should receive 500 I'm advance as
soon as he was appointed to the place
10 be given him The tailor refused TO
give him any money. and the Count
left.
Mr.. Boujasson was another whom De-
hgne tried TO interest, but with no
better success.

man sold fine suit of clothes.
worth probably $50, to a young man
on north Sixth street for S. He also
threw in with the sale a pawn-ticket for
an oyercoat, which he had previously
borrowed small sum of money from
Ben Jacobs.
one OF the most suspicious things de-
yeloped yesterday was the fact that the
Frenchman In New York used the name
Carton on several occasions, and that
he registered at Ferrlters under the
Same name: but, when asked as to the
latter said that he used an assumed
name. but could not remember what 1t
was.
