ACTION TO FORFEIT NECKLACE.
COUNSEL. FOR MRS. DULLES DECLARES HE
WILL SHOW SEIZURE WAS FOR DIS
HONEST PURPOSE.

Judge Adams and jury, in the United states Dis
rict Court yesterday. listened to the suit brought
technically by the government against "one pearl
necklace" action 10 declare forfeited valuable
string Of pearls taken by Agent Theobod July
q from Mrs. r. Harrison Dulles. Of Philadelphia
The government declares the necklace Is worth
$4,000
Mrs Dulles was in the court in the position Of
claimant for the necklace. Her counsel were eX-
District Attorney De Iaucey Nicol John D. Lindsay
and Colonel Phelps. formerly in charge Of the law
division Of the Custom House Assistant United
States District Attorneys King. Baldwin and
Houghton represented the government.
Acting Deputy Collector Leahy swore that he
had taken Mrs Dulles's declaration and that she
had failed to specify the necklace Theobod told
of crossing on the Kronprnz Wilhelm with Mrs.
Dulles and of selling the necklace.
De Lancey Nicoll in cross-examining this witness,
wanted TO know II Theobold had not made en-
Eagement to meet the Dulleses at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel that night. Mr.. King objected and declared
that he could not see how that question could be
material.
Because" declared the ex-District Attorney Il
may well state right that the seizure was
not made a worthy motive. but for a dishonest
purpose by unworthy official"
Judge Adams allowed the question. but Theobold
denied that he had made such engagement. He
admitted knowing a lawyer named Katz and an
other named Tucker. Ncoll asked the witness ques-
tons concerning former seizures he had made. some
of which, the lawyer declared. had been returned to
the owner, the Treasury Department declining to
sustain them. Mr King objected to his line of
questioning and the court sustained him.
IN the redirect eXamina ton 1t brought out
that Theobold had Mrs. Dulles buy the neck
lace in Paris.
At the end Of the prosecutions case Mr. Nicou
asked that the information against the necklace be
dismissed, contendng that the law had not been
violated up to the time the seizure had been made.
He based this contention on the Keck decision.
which held that the act of smuggling or clandes-
tine entry, could not be completed until the person
with the goods I'm question left the customs line,
and as the pier was held be a part or parcel of
the Custom House while a ship unloading and
discharging it really meant until the person with
seizure was made on the ship. Judge Adams de-
cded against the motion and to-day the defence
will put in its side of the
