THE BARONESS RESUMES A FOR
MER NAME
Coming Back to San Francisco to
Bring Suit for Conspiracy or
Something

MONTREAL, Que, May 31.-At z
o'clock tonight tall and rather hand
some 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 "Ba-
roness Won Turkheim," la tely known as
Mrs. Delmas of San Francisco and 9TH
erwise known as Jeannine Young.
A reporter of the Associated Press
called on her shortly after 10 o'clock and
was granted an interview. The woman
had registered as Mrs. D. NJ. Delmas,
San Francisco.
At the beginning of the interview
Mrs, Delmas stated that she was now
convinced that the supposed Baron Won
Turkheim was fraud and was none
other that c. J. Won Arnold of Stillwell's
detective agency. She then related In
detail the story Of her discovery in the
supposed baron's trunk of letter ad-
dressed to c. J. Won Arnold, care of
Stillwelrs detective agency, Liverpool.
her taxing the baron with the deception
and his subsequnt desertion of her.
She continued: when I taxed him
with being not what he represented, but
simply a detective in the employ of Mr..
Delmas, he laughed at me and said it
was lucky for me that the original plan
was not carried out. / then learned that
they originally intended that our we'd
ding trip should be made to Chez Foo,
China, where I was to be placed in an
asylum or something of the kind. Then
they probably thought would object to
going there, go 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 probably
knows how that could be arranged"
Mrs. Delmas said that she and Mrs
Richardson had remained in London
two weeks. She was asked who sent her
the money to return.
1T was sent" she replied, "by law
yer whom 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 could want
her now.
do you object to saying what you
know about it,"
Certainly not. know who forged
the will; know all about that. I saw
all Mr.. Stillwell's reports on the matter.
The papers were shown to me in Mr..
Delmas' office, and Mr.. Delmas told me
that they were forgeries."
Speaking Of her future, Mrs. Delmas
said she had received a telegram ad-
vis,ing her to remain here a 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 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's being a detective paid tt
dog her tracks. 1t was suggested that
Mrs. Delmas has had many interesting
experiences and had narrowly escaped
others.
"Oh, yes: asure you there were funny
things about this trip. Won Arnold
played the prince with the treasure, and
he spent 1t royalty Why, he frankly
told me he was out $4,000 by the trans
action. 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 Francis
CO, but then he is a lawyer"
After q pause: Lawyers are not all
business men,"
Mrs. Delmas further on referred to
Mr.. Delmas as ar factor person." and
carried out the simile quite amusingly.
Everybody. from the Office boy up posed
as consequence, she said, and Still
we'll played the buffoon and did to to
perfection.
Mrs. Delmas referred laughingly to q
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: "It was very trivial"
do you know how met Won Turk
heim?" she asked. well, you know 1

co and Won Arnold was introduced to
me as buyer by Stillwell. The house
suited him and he agreed to purchase it.

ally, people said he made me present

the case"
