NEW YORK, Nov. pa diamond
smuggling case of more than ordinary
interest and possessed of features Of
an unusual kind has furnished New
York its weekly sensation. The pris
oner who is on trial is a Maiden lane
dealer in gems, Maz J. Lasar. and the
gems. said to have been smuggled in
one trip by way of Montreal. are val
ued at 100000 The prominence Of the
prisoner and the value Of the jewels
would make the case one of great i'm
portance, but, aside from this, to
arouse interest, there is the princirnl
witness for the government, a pretty
girl of less than twenty years Of age,
who admits that she Is masquerading
under an assumed name. The testimo-
ny OF this girl, who calls herself Ivy
Crurede, is depended upon by the
treasury officials to mnl1e a case and
also to induce the jury to award to the
government for confscation diamonds
valued at SCI, 600 seized a year ago in
Lasar's store.
Miss Crurede does not deny that she
is concohling her identity under an as
sumed name. She says that her rela-
tions with Lasar have brought ner into
such unpleasant notoriety that she wIll
not injure her relatives by telling who
she is. She asserts that her parents
are dead; that her father was an Eng
lish army officer. a major, and that her
family is of excellent standing in Eng
land
Miss Crurede is rather short and
plump, with a round face, dark com
pleXion, a well-curved and pretty
mouth. big eyes Of dark blue and dark
brown hair She wore on the stand a
blue tailor-made gown, starchcd
shirt waist with white standing col
lar and large blue Fedora hat, un-
trimmed.
MISS CRUREDE'S STORY.
Miss Crurede, in telling her story of
her relations with Lasar, said she had
been in this country two months, and
had conk at the request of the United
States government, under a promise
that she should be paid 81, 500 and her
expenses She lad met Lasar in Octo-
Der, 1897. on the tender that carried
them both out of Liverpool to the
steamship Labrador He had looked
at her intently for a long time, and
then spoke to her.
CHANGED HER STATEROOM.
She eonfided to him on the ship that
she was on her way to seek her for
tune as a governess, and that as she
had little money she had been forced
TO take second cabin passage. After
the vessel sailed she and the diamond
merchant became fast friends, and
when she complained that the sur
roundings of the second cabin were
rot pleasant he told her, she said, that
he would see that she had first-class
stateroom.
Later she found that her luggage had
been removed to Lasar's stateroom.
Lasar told her that he had given $25 to
the steward, and that everything was
eli right, for, as he had no wife or
any near relative. he intended that she
should be as a daughter TO him.

must not speak He was tender and
affectionate and told her that he would
marry her. When they arrived at Que
bee he said that she must appear as
his wife, and to this she made no OBJ
lection. They went to Montreal, to the
Windsor hotel, and had adjoining
rooms. They remained at the hotel
several days.
One day Lasar took two small pack
ages wrapped in brown paper from his
trunk and put them in his coat pockets.
He asked her If they protruded, and
she answered, "A little" On coming
up from dinner he replaced the pack
ages in the trunk. Later he opened
one OF the packages and showed her a
lot Of diamonds, telling her that he
had $200, 900 worth Of them. He locked
her in the rooms with the diamonds
part of one day, and at night she
hid them in her bed at his suggestion.
While they were In Montreal witness
began TO doubt Lasar's story that he
was unmarried and questioned him SO
closely that he confessed that he was
married, but said that he would have
a divorce soon. and would then make
good his promise to her.
Two days later she and Lasar start
ed for New York, Lasar telling her
when she questioned him that he had
sent the diamonds on to the city. Ar
riving here, she went to Taylor's hotel,
in Jersey City, where she remained a
week, Lasar visiting her every day
AT the end Of the week Lasar sent
her back TO England, promising that
he would soon join her and arrange
their matters. She told him that after
what happened she would not dare to
go to her relatives, and that If he did
not aid her she would be compelled to
go to work a t something. He gave her
$S5 and paid her passage. She had
never laid eyes on him again until she
saw him in the court room They had
exchanged a letter or two, but she re-
eeived no assistance from him, and,
of course, he did not keep his promise
as to marriage.

For two or three years thereafter she

to England she had determined to be-

that she sailed on the Labrador to see

Pressed by counsel to more definitely
describe her antecedents. Miss Cru
rede's eyes flashed as she said that she
did not see what that had to do with
the diamonds; that she revered the
memory of her parents and did not
want their names brought into the
case
Miss Crucede rose from her chair
Pointing her finger at Lasar, she said
dramatically:
ASK him to get up and swear before
his God that L have not told the truth
about him."
Then she leaned far over, and, look

a loud tone:
