dropped into Memphis 10 spend a few
days and following his usual bold Gus

streets Of the city. He had grown a heavy
brownsh beard. was poorly dressed. and
really looked like some poor man from
the country. He had not been in Memphis
for a number of years. and he did not
think the police would recognize him, but
he was not reasoning well I'm this instance.
He was recognized before he had been
in the city II hours. and ne was under
arrest before he knew what had happened
TO him. The officer knew the character
Of the man. and he did not give him any
sort of chance lie was escorted 10 the
police station and locked up. The news
paper men began TO swarm around him.
lie was asked all kinds of questions and
he told all kinds of stories. some OF them
the widest and most eXtravagant that
ever fell from human lips. lie was simply
having fun with the press gang. He was
conversing a grim situation into a huge
joke. lie was playing in desperate sort
of comedy role. and seemed TO get deal

riousness, and began TO quietly go over

In Two Years G. K Sherman
Has Piled Up Debts.
JUDGMENT FOR DIAMOND BILL.
Young Man Says He knsY More Now
Than He Did When He Agreed 10
Pay $500 for Gems.

New York. April 1s.--Judgments on two
notes aggregating sl2.279 were taken by
default yesterday against George *. sher-
man, grandson OF the late Port Henry
iron manufacturer In two short years
the young man has had TO fight bank
ruptcy proceedings on account OF $1,000
I'm debt which he had piled up I'm spite
Of an income OF $4,000 year.
The two potes were promises to pay
given last October being the difference
between $4,000 paid In cash and a s65.-
900 bill for diamonds and jewelry. One OF
the judgments is In favor of William Rie-
man for sse93 ana the other in favor Of
Herman Levy for $3.50.
Sherman's plea when the suit was In
stituted was that at the time OF the
purchase of the jewels he had not ar
rived at the age OF judgment to enable
him to value n diamond correctly.
He said that he was only 25 years old
at the time, and that he has since dis
covered that he was overchaged $4,000 In
the purchase.
Sherman did not appear when the case
went TO trial yesterday and judgment
was rendered against him.
Since the death OF his grandfather, leav-
ing an estate OF $l0,0o0,0O0 Sherman has
led the life of a gilded youth. He had
always been considered "A quiet young
man. His grandfather bequeathed him
81, 600 600. TO be held in trust until his yoth
year. and meantime he found himself the
possessor OF an income of $4,000.
The quiet-mannered young man disap
peared, and i'm his place the townspeople
OF Fort Henry. n. Y, saw suddenly de-
veloped a youth with an extraordinary
penchant for first-water jewery, imported
perfectos, fine clothes and the life of
New York city and~Saratoga.
Everything MIR. Sherman. OF Port
Henry" wanted was Immediately sent.
and the rumors OF his wonderful fortune
spread afar and there never was n ques-
tion as to price and payment. Saratoga
and New York knew him well
On one occasion Sherman ran up a bi11

the climax OF his expenditures I'm 1909,
when he married the daughter of Clark

toga.
asked that a trustee be appointed until
100000 i'm debt had been cleared away.
Tiffany * Co was a large creditor hav-
ing a jewelry bill OF $4,000 against the
young man.
Sherman recently paid custom dues of
$500 on arriving home from Europe after
declaring that his effects were OF the
value OF $50.
