THE JOKE NOT APPRECIATED.
Countess StiIetti Arrested a
Charge of LARCENY.

After an investigation conducted by De-
tectives Brown and Lacy, Countess Vio-
lette Stiletti. of 126 E Street northeast,
was arrested yesterday afternoon on a
charge of petty larceny. Previous to her
marriage, which was announced some
months ago, the Countess Stiletti was
Miss Violet Dufour. young woman who
was born in this city, and who has spent
the greater portion of the twenty-four
years of her life within the confines of
the District of Columbia.
short time ago Mrs. Stiletti called
on Mrs. C. X. Shryock, a friend, who
lives at 241e Fourteenth Street northwest.
AS she left the house she is said to have
remarked to her friend that she believed
that Mrs. Shryock's cook was dishonest
and that it would be well to watch her.
When Mrs. Shryock returned to her room
she found that her silver watch and chain
were missing. She wrote Countess Stilet-
Ii, telling her of her loss and stating that
If the countess was playing practical
joke she would ask her to return the
property at once.
In reply Mrs. Shryock says she received
an indignant communication, stating that
the writer abhorred jokes and was amazed
at the effrontery of her friend in accus-
itAS htI. III Aiit SdInt Hlail, MTS. EoDTNOch
received an ANONYMOUS communication
from an alleged former friend of the
cook. stating that the employe had shown
the writer a watch and chain, which the
writer identified as one she had seen Mrs.
Snryock wear at times.
Mrs. Shryock placed the matter in the
hands of the police, who located the miss
ing articles in a pawnshop where $250
had been advanced on them. They had
been pledged in the name of Mrs Shry-
ocks cook, and the address of that do
mcstic had been given.
The description of the person who
pawned the articles tailed, it is said
with that of Countess Stiletti, and the de-
tectiTes yesterday visited her house in
company with the pawnbroker, who iden-
titled the countess as the person who had
secured the loan on the watch and chain.
Everette Dufour, a brother of the ac-
cused, accompanied her to Police Head
quarters, where he deposited $S5 collater-
al for the appearance of his sister in the
Police Court this morning, to answer the
charge against her.

Attorneys in the Bass Trial Engage
i'm Exciting Discussions.

The trial Of Liston d. Bass, who is
charged with using the United States
mails for unlawful purposes, was enliv-
ened yesterday by several exciting dis
cussions between counsel on either side.
The sharpest passage of words was be-
tween Greed NJ. Fulton, representing
Bass, and Assistant District Attorney
Thomas C. Taylor, representing the Gov
eminent.
During the cross-fire Mr.. Taylor stated
that he would not place certain
documentary evidence in the case in the
hands of Bass for inspection. To this
Fulton replied that he would trust the
defendant as far as he would Mr.. Taylor.
The discussion grew out of a motion
filed by Bass asking the court TO pass
an order granting him permission to in
spect certain letters and printed matter
offered as evidence since the trial began.
The motion also cited that on Saturday
last, Bass and his counsel called at the
Office of the District Attorney for the pur-
pose of examining certain papers.
Fulton stated that he and Bass were
met by Assistant District Attorney Bing
ham, who accorded them permission to
examine the papers In a few minutes.
1t was stated, Assistant District Attor
ney Taylor entered the office and on
being informed of what was being done,
prohibited the inspection of the evidence.
Counsel contended that the papers in
question should have been filed in the Of
flee of the clerk of the Supreme Court of
the District, and that the refusal to allow
the inspection was unfair 10 Bass and I'M
just in the eyes of the law.
Justice Barnard, presiding, asked coun-
sci what was the rule OF practice in such
matters. and both sides admitted that
"a
question. Taylor contended that the pa
pers which the defendant wished to ex-
anime had been offered in evidence and
read to the court and jury, so that there
was no desire TO withhold their contents.
Fulton, however, disagreed with Prose
cutor Taylor, and contended that there
Were papers filed which counsel for the
defendant did not have an opportunity 10
inspect. Taylor stated that he did not
object to counsel examining the papers.
but was not willing that they should go
into the hands of the defendant.
The court. without passing on the mo-
tion, Informed the defence that they could
Inspect and examine the papers in Ques-
tion in court today IL they desired
The first witness called for the defence
today was Charles A. Darling, a con-
stable, who testified relative to serving a
legal process in the case of F. Court
Woods against Bass.
The only other witness examined was
the son of the defendant. He stated that

Owing to the prevalence of colds and grip,
