His Valuable Library Was Contained i'm Trunk-FickIe Condition of Her Mind-One Minute She wiII Have Nothing to Do With Strong, the Next She " ouid Forgive Him.


 She " ouid Forgive Him.
 Plymouth, Eng, July 31.-May Yohe arrived here to-day on board the Furst Bismarck and proceeded to London. She declared she had never authorized Putnam Bradlee Strong to pawn any, thing of hers and said he had never paid her any of the money obtained on the pawned jewels.
 May Yohe said it was only at the last moment that she decided to disembark in England She looked to be in excel lent health and greeted a number of reporters who met her at the steam ship dock, very cordially. When she was shown an interview with Strong, in which he denied that he had pawned her diamonds she said:
 That is all batch of lies. For the $4GS, ,000 worth of goods which Strong pawned, his brother-in-law, A. R. Shat tuck, put up $22, 900, out of which paid $5, ,000 to Emanuel Friend, my attorney, and SS,110 to pawnbrokers Strong story that he paid me back anything is another lie.
 "I don't know until I get my mail whether will go to France or not know he is there but I do not want to have anything to do With him. I have suffered all this outrageous treatment to save his mother and my own. l am anxious to get to Genoa where I have tickets for a tiara, diamond heart and other things he paWned. I have no means whatever. I may land in Kamtchatka before I get through
 When she was shown a statement of Lord Hopes bankruptcy case, men, tioning that Hopes counsel disputed a note for $45,9 ,934 given to her, Miss Yohe said: That's right; the money is due me and I'll fight for it till I get it.
 Miss Yohe was on the passenger list as Mrs Batchellor.
 London, July 31.-May Yohe's pro- ceedings since her arrival at Plymouth are an illustration of the woman's in- decision. The appearance of one of her personal friends in Plymouth harbor sufficed for her to change her mind and dftain the ship until she was the last passenger on the tender. Upon reach ing Plymouth she decided to go to Southampton and there take boat for Cherbourg, the destination of the steamer she had just left. Then as the train for Southampton was starting she again changed her mind and decided to come to London.
 On her way here from Plymouth Miss Yohe adopted an entirely new attitude of mind from that shown when she dis embarked Talking to representative of the Associated Press on the train, she said: You know the old Nancy Sykes story; the woman comes to court black and blue and then declares she will never prosecute her persecutor. l would forgive Bradlee tomorrow if he would say he was sorry.
 When told that Strong had said he had got the money from the sale of his library Miss Yohe laughed and remark ed: Well, he brought all his library to my house in an old steamer trunk: it must have been valuable. He is the greatest liar l ever knew; no wonder he made a good officer-he does know how to manoeuvre."
 Miss Yohe is stopping at the Great Western hotel, Paddington, tonight. She said she hoped to see her old coun- sel, Sir George Lewis, and then take the first train from Paris for Genoa
