Sues Under-LI,es at Mount Vernon
Russell Sage was asked last night what he
knew about a suit brought against him by
Isabella de Ajuria to recover $4,000, with
allegations Of assault, which case came
up before Justice Truax in the Supreme
Court yesterday on a motion by the plain
tiff's attorney TO have the action put on
the calendar for preferred causes In
reply to the question Mr.. Sage said
Don't know anything about It at all
nothing at all. Never heard Of any such
woman. Wouldn't know her. don't
believe, il saw her It's just another
one OF those blackmailing games. Some
women have to get money somehow, and
this one, suppose thought she'd try her
hand on me.
Il suppose the whole thing came about
Il don't know anything about the allega-
tions, because. as soon as saw the papers
l turned them right over to my lawyer
l suppose the case came up through q call
made at my office by a woman about, l
should say. six months ago. woman got
into my inside ofice-I don't know what
her name was-and told me she wanted TO

any money and | told her didn't do BUSH
ness for strange women on that basis.
when abe heard this she founced around
for a minute and then said she'd have a
story about me written up and put in the
newspapers.
'The making of that remark showed
what she was and i said to her Young
woman I-About 45. ! guess Mr.. Sage

You ant to get right out Of here and try
somewhere else. II you've got anything
to say about me 10 the newspapers, you

she went. making some sort OF threats
that l didn't pay any attention to as she
went. didn't know her and. so far as
can remember. never saw her before.
didn't hear or see anything more OF her
until short time ago. when, l declare,
IL she didn't get into my Office again As
she saw me and i saw her, she handed me
a paper and said something TO the effect
that maybe Id pay some attention TO that.
looked at the paper and saw that II was
some lawsuit and Just sent 1t right over
to my lawyer Goodwin with instruction
TO do what was necessary about 1t.
Il don't know what was in the papers
what was charged or anything about IL.
But Goodwin told me. after he had looked
over the papers, that the same woman
sued me for something or other about seven
teen and half years ago. l don't remem-
ber what that suit was about. but i do
remember that j told Goodwin TO give the
woman something or other. as the cheapest
way TO get rid of her. and be did SO
Lawyer Almon Goodwin was thereupon
applied TO. He said
1t is true that a oman named Isabella
de AIuria has brought an action against
Mr.. Sage which amounts, In eject. 10 a
suit TO recover $4,000. From what Mr.
Sage tells me the woman opened an ac-
count with him last summer and did some
trading, leaving money on deposit there.
After a time the account was closed The
wonan's lawyers moved to-day Ia have the
case put on the preferred calendar, 10 which
motion we offered no objection. IL they
want TO hurry the trial, we have no obleC-
tions our answer, Of course, il general
and specific denial OF every allegation
That's about nll there IL 20 IL.
But II 10 said q at when you examined
the pnp~rs In this case you identified the
woman as the same person who brought
some kind of a suit against Mr.. Sage sew
enteen and one-hah years ago
Il don't think you will find any such
statement as that IN the papers m 'his case.
said Mr. Goodwin, but ! can tell you what
no woman named De- Ajuria brought any
action against Mr.. Sage seventeen and one
Maybe II was under another name that
the same woman brought the old suit
