tion to know, that a great deal of bo-
gus jewelry is worm among the 400"
of New York city. the vogue for arti-
fetal jewelry having begun about two
seasons ago. This is said to be espe-
cially the case with pearls. perfectly
matched ropes being exceedingly diff
icult of procurement. Tha limitations
are indistinguishable from the real ex-
cept under n glass, and then only TO
the eye OF an expert. The demand for
such ornaments of late has become so
great that nowadays first-rate prices
are obtainable for them, and. of course.
tn. best workmen are engaged in man
ufacturlng them. II is roundly stated
that nine-tenths of the pearls now
worn In New York are bogus. Imita-
ton diamonds and rubies are also
quite common. but not so much so as
pearls.

He was questioned by Colonel Johnson
relative to an acquaintance with Barry

he had not known or seen Barry prior
