in his resources.
II was out OF curiosity. the Grand Jury's
chief witness says. that nc began a pri-

When searching for the papers in the
Blanchard case, Roberts says that he
came across a bundle OF envelopes and

the loans were fictitious. the certificates

thority.
From these papers. as well as other in
formation he had acquired. Roberts says
that he learned that Mr.. Blair was doing
an extensive loan business for Dick Bros.
& Co. Many loans were made by this
Philadelphia firm while he was in Blair's
Office, and many OF them were renewed
HAD CONFIDENCE
IL BLAIR's INTEGRITY.
1t was the confidence Dick Bros. had in
Mr.. Blair that made the alleged iregulari-
ties possible, Roberts declares. They took
precautions 10 require certificates OF title
from a title investigating company. and
also required that some competent person
should pass upon the certificate. As they
permitted Mr.. Blair TO send the certificate
and did not require them delivered by the
title investigating companies personally.
Roberts declares that il was easy for Blair
to carry GU; his alleged plan.
Roberts alleges that the senior member
Of the firm OF Dick Bros. &. Co. knew per
sonally Samuel Simmons OF 81. Louis and
had the greatest confidence in Mr.. Sim
mons estimation on the value OF real es-
tate.

One loan mentioned in particular by
Roberts in his statement IL that in which
the name Of Jonathan Gold is used4 Rob-
erts declares that the name IS fictitious.
On this loan, Roberts says. $1,000 was
advanced. The application for the lean

fictitious name OF Jonathan Gold. says
Roberts. Sir. Blair. according 10 Roberts.

Mr.. Dick did not go with them, but re

not wishing TO run the chance OF meeting

Upon their return TO the hotel. Roberts
says, Mr. Graham informed Dick that he

a civil suit was at first suggested, but.
TO avoid a disclosure. IL was decided to at

In connection with the consultations
about q suit to be filed against Blair. Rob
orts says that he fought against any ac-
tion that would bring Judge Seddon's
name into the matter. He says that At

don was legally liable, although he was
convinced beyond a doubt that Sir. Blair's
law partner was not morally guilty OF any
wrungdoinE.
But as Mr.. Bla.r's law partner. Mr.. Gra-

FAMILY MUCH FEARS
GIRL IS HYPNOTIZED
G. c. Jones Advances This Theory to
Account for the Mysterious Dis
appearance of His Sister.

Was Miss Annie Jones, who disap-
peared from Norfolk a week ago. under
hypnotic influence at the time. and is
she still held by this mysterious power
against her viii? This is the question
which 9. c. Jones, a brother of the
young woman, last night propounded
10 the police.
II Will be remembered that Miss Jones'
disappearance was reported here on
November 4. and a general alarm was
sent out for her. and for Miss Laura
Monkey. in whose company she was
supposed to be. The young women were
governnesses in Norfolk families. and
Miss Jones is well connected, and is said
TO be very beautiful woman
The Norfolk police learned that the
two women had resigned their positions
the same day. and had their baggage
taken 20 a steamer for Atlanta The
brother also stated that Miss Moxley
was a hynOtist. and his sister fine
hypnotic subject. and that the family
knew OF the influence OF the one over
the other. and had tried TO break it. but
without avail II is his belief that the
two may have Joined some travelling
hypnotic show. The mother. Mrs E F.
Jones. is Frustrated, and her condition
is critical.
