crate that upon receiving this note, Miss Elliott
put her forefinger to her forehead and enunci-
ated, " Hist! What have we ore !" which II. q
rhetorical form much used by those who are In
the habit Of receiving. anonymous communiCa-
for believing that she thcreupon went, to Mr.:
Healy's store and there saw, unset, n diamond
alleged to be remarkably like the stone which
she is said to have lost. Wishing, so 1t is as.
serted, to bring this matter to the cogntzRnce OF
the law, but shrinking. as it Is allege A.. from the
notoriety OF the police court, with that retiring
disposition 80 characteristic Of persons In her
profession, she got some one else TO appear for
her. This some ono else, 40 credible witnesses
are ready 10 affirm, was Mr.. Goodwin. A sum.
mons having been issued for Mr.. Healy, which is
n matter OF court record. he appeared and said
that he had bought his diamond at an auction
on Oct. IL.
Thereupon Mr.. Goodwin offered to buy 1t and
paid down $40 on account. Mr.. Healy wrote q

gem which Miss Elliott Is said to have owned
and alleged to have lost last month. GOSSIP

also denied. It Ia but fair to say, that Miss Elliot
has a press agent of extreme energy and 70
