home of his victim, and, representing
himself to be an authorized officer of
Hamilton county levy tax on every
bit of property in the house, whether
it be skillet or piano. He has his
game selected before he makes the at
tempt. He ascertains whether the
men folks are at home or not before
he enters. Then, by his persuasions
and explanations, he feeces the un-
sophisticated females out of their but
ter and egg money. The authorities
are looking for the swindler.

New York Society Woman Declares
She Is The Victim Of a Plot.

NEW YORK, July 26-Mrs. "Jack" "
Wilmerding, former society woman,
grand niece of Commodore Wander
bilt, will be brought into court Thurs
day on a writ of habeas corpus obtain
ed to give her an opportunity to prove
her sanity in order to gain her liberty
and the right 20 control her own state.
She was sent to BlOOmiugdale in
February last on the evidence of DIR.
Allen McLane Hamilton and D. De-
forest Smith, who declared she show
ed thoroughly defined symptoms OF
paresis.
From information received by her
attorney, he believes Mrs. Wilmerding
was practically ''railroaded" to Bloom
ingdale, and is not insane. The appli-
cation for a writ was based upon inter-
views with Mrs. Wilmerding by Mrs.
Jack" Bloodgood, James DeLsnier, an
attorney, and third person whose
name is kept secret. Expert testimony
will be used in Mrs. Wilmerding's be-
half. If those who want her kept at
Bloomingdale try to prevent her re-
lease from that institution the fight
will be bitter one.

A. K. Roberts, who was arrested last
Saturday night by Chief Lockhart in
accordance with the demands of q tel
egram from New Mexico, charging him
with obtaining money under false pre-
lenses, was before Judge Darwood this
afternoon, with his attorney, r. A.
Richardson, to show cause why extra
dition papers should not be issued in
his case. He says that the
money claimed to be OBJ
pretenses was nothing more than q
gambling debt and that the proceed
ings instituted against him by the
New Mexico officials are unjust and
illegal. He seems certain that the
court will not allow him to be returned
under the conditions Of this charge.
The case was called yesterday after
noon but the prosecution was not
ready and q continuance to this after
