She Registers at Montreal Hotel as
Mrs. DeImas.

MONTREAL, May 3l.-At Z O'Clock
tonight tall and rather handsome
woman stepped from the Quebec train
at Dalhousie Depot, leading by the
hand boy. This was the woman who
has come into such prominence as
Baroness Won Turkheim.' lately
known as Mrs. D. M. Delmas of San
Francisco. and otherwise known as
Jeannine Young.
A reporter of the Associated Press
after 10 o'clock, and was granted an in
terview The woman had registered
as Mrs. D. NJ. Delmas, San Francisco.
AT the beginning of the interview the
woman stated that she was now con-
yinced that the supposed Baron Won
Turkheim was fraud, and was none
other than c. j. Won Arnold of Still
wells Detective Agency She then re-
lated in detail the story of her dis
covery in the supposed Baron's trunk
of letter addressed to c. J. Won Ar
mold, care of Stillwell's Detective Agen-
cy, Liverpool, taxing the Baron with
the deception and his subsequent de-
sertion of her. She continued:
When | taxed him with being not
what he represented, but simply a de-
tective in the employ of Mr.. Delmas,
he laughed at me and said it was
was not carried out. I then learned
that they originally intended that our
wedding trip should be to Chez Foo,
China, where l was to be placed in the
asylum, or something of the kind. Then
they probably thought / would object
to going there, SO the proposal was to
get me to France and have me placed
in an asylum there Mr. Delmas has
lived many years in France and prob
ably knows how that could be ar
ranged"
Mrs. Delmas said that she and Mrs.
Richardson had remained in London
two weeks. She was asked who sent
her the money to return.
''It was sent she replied, ''by law
yer, whom I intend to employ when I
get back, who is going to take an
action for conspiracy or something of
the kind"
She hoped she said, that she would
not be called in the Fair will case, as
she did not see why they should want
her now
do you object to saying what you
know about it?''
Certainly not. I know who forged
the will; I know all about that. l saw
ali Mr.. Stfllwell's reports on the mat
ter. The papers were shown to me in
Mr.. Delmas' office, and Mr.. Delmas
told me that they We're forgeries.'
Speaking of her future, Mrs. Delmas
said she had received a telegram advis-
ing her to remain here for few days.
Her uncle was to have been here, but she
supposed he must have gone to Quebec
instead of Montreal
Mrs. Richardson, she said, being the
keeper of a hotel in San Francisco, had
to get back quickly, and consequently
sailed by Cunard liner to New York
She did not believe the story about Mrs.
Richardson being a detective paid to dog
her tracks.
1t was suggested that Mrs Delmas
has had many interesting experiences
and had narrowly escaped others.
"Oh, yes; l assure you there were
funny things about this trip. Won
Arnold played the prince with the
treasure, and he spent it royalty Why,
he frankly told me he was out So, 900 by
the transaction. I do not know how
that was, whether Mr.. Delmas could
not raise the money or what. You know
he is a lawyer"
"He has money, has he not?"
"Oh, he has property in San Fran
cisco, but then he is lawyer. After a
pause: Lawyers are not all business
men,
Mrs. Delmas further on referred to Mr.
Delmas as an actor person. and car
ried out the simile quite amusingly.
Everybody, from the office boy up posed
as a consequence. she said, and Stillwell
played the buffoon and did it to perfec-
ton.
Mrs. Delmas referred laughingly to a
scheme that had been attempted to get
her out of the way two months before
she left. but when pressed for details
would only say: 1T is very trivial
"Do you know how I met Won Turk
heinz" she asked.
We'll, you know / put UP a house for
sale in San Francisco, and Won Arnold
was introduced to me as buyer by Still
we'll. The house suited him, and he
agreed to purchase it, and paid 81 900
down. Really people said he made me
present of 1000. but that was not the
case
