PORTRAIT MYSTERY SOLVED
What Became of q Picture That London
Once Went CrazY Over.


Once Went Crazy Over.
New York. July 20-The theft Of
Gainsborough's famous portrait of
Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, has
been one of the most battling in the an
nails OF art and crime. 1t was evidently
the work Of no ordinary criminal, for no
ordinary criminal would care to encum-
Der himself with d picture that u was
impossible for him to sell without de-
fec;ion. The feat must have been exc
cuted either from a mischievous delight
in thieving for its own sake or from a
pure love Of art
The reader will remember the circum-
stances. 1t was as part OF the famous
collection Of Mr.. Wynn Ellis of London,
rnat, on May 6. 1876, the picture was put
up for auction at Christies. At this
time there were those who impugned its
genuineness as a G3insborough. The
style, they maintained, was less light
and airy than was TO be expected in a
genuine example, while in the voluptu-
business of the figure and the extreme
richness OF the lips they found Gains
borough's characteristic refinement
vicious battle for it AT the sale. The then
Earl of Dudley ran il up to 10000, but
even at that immense figure could not
shake off the persistent agent of Messrs.
Agnew. who secured the picture for f10.-
100-the largest price ever paid for pic
1ure of Christie's.
Messrs. Agnew placed il in their gall
ieries a. No. 80 Bond street. on exhibit
ton, and London was in a Juror over
the picture. 1t well nigh monopolized
the conversation OF the day. and at most
OF the public ceremoniais a large propro-
ton of the ladies dressed upon the model
which the painting provided. Suddenly
while the interest in the work was ar its
height, it vanished. On the night OF
May a. eighteen days after il came into
Messrs. Agnew's possession, il was as
usual left safely az night in its place on
the walls Of the gallery. a Waterman
slept on the premises and was not dis
turbed during the night. but al Z O'Clock
the next morning chisel marks were
found on the window frame OF the gall
iery. and the picture had disappeared.
IL had been cut from its frame and
stolen.
Inc scotland Yard ponce were al once
put upon the scent. They failed to make
any discoveries. From time 10 time Mr..
Agnew received mysterious letters. Of
fering the picture for 900 and then for
1900. Thes. letters were accompanied
by pieces Of the canvass. which showed
mat the writer evidently had possession
OF the long sought work Of art. But all
communications fell through on account
of the tricky spirit Of the correspondent
j. seemed evident that he was not real
fy anxious 70 surrender the masterpiece
or make eny revelations. He wished
merely 70 excite curiosity. At no time
did Mr- Agnew have any knowledge of
the persons with whom he was carrying
on negotiations or Of their whereabouts.
The communications were too da-kly
veiled 10 admit OF any differences beng

The accident occurred at the intersec-
ton Of Litchheid avenue and Riverside,
about 9 o'clock yesterday morning. Mr..

ed the hub Of the cart wheel against a
tree near the residence OF L. e. Mich

nip and striking his mead heavily
against some object.
Miss Nichols, who saw the accident,
tod the neighbors, VINO came and took
the injured man into the house.
DR.. McAdams was summoned and for
awhile it was thought that Mr.. Stanley
" as suffering severe internal injury that
might prove fatal. For some time Mr..
Stanley was unconscious, and did not en-
tirely recover from the first shock till
ABOUT O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
From questions regarding the pain and a
further examination it was determined
nat the shock was due to the heavy
stroke upon the head, and that the injury
was only external.
Great public interest was manifested
in the matter and about o'clock the re-
port started on the picnic grounds in
Riverside that Mr.. Stanley was dead
The rumor went all over town and had
not died out entirely at o'clock, when
telephone messages came to the Eag,e
office asking If the rum 0r was true.
Mr.. Stanley was removed 10 his home
shortly after the accident on stretcher,
and Wichita people will be glad TO see
him out again soon.
