BY a decree Of Judge Thomas y.
Lewis yesterday afternoon, Mrs. Mar
garetha Gleich, otherwise known as
Belle Fisher, OF POcateIIo, came into
posse ssiOn Of her diamonds which had
wandered far during the past year or
two.
The story Of the diamonds is a COM
plicated one, dating back TO the killing
of Holden O'Connor, formerly a we'll
known Salt Lake character, at KEN
merer. q few years ago.
Mrs. Gleich was interested in the
slayer of 0'COnn0r 10 an extent that
lea her 10 provide the means for his
defense. She retained Judge j. II.
~Ryckman 10 defend him and paid him
q fee Of 81. 800. OF this amount, $500
was paid in cash. Mrs Gleich gave
her note for the balance, putting up
her diamond earrings, finger ring and
brooch, a collection valued at $1,000. as
part Of the collateral security on the
note
After the case had been disposed of.
Mrs. Gleich paid the note, but Judge
Ryckman claimed there was an addi-
tional $500 due him and attached prop
erty owned by Mrs. Gleich in KEN
merer and valued at S. coo. Mrs. Gleich
flied n counter claim to recover her
diamonds and a $3.50 piano. which she
alleged Judge Ryckman had secured
from her.
On the day the case was called for
trial in Evanston Wye, Judge Ryck-
man filed an application for change Of
venue. alleging prejudice on the part
of the trial Judge, The judge commu-
nicated with another judge. secured a
mic la to, IN,
ton the mex morning. and continued
the case for one day. The judgment
was that Mrs Gleich owed Judse
RyclSman S11Z10 and that she was the
owner of the diamonds. An order was
made requiring Judge Ryckman TO
turn the jewels over TO the court
It then developed that Judge Ryck-
man had given the diamonds 10 his
wife, now divorced and that she had
taken them with her on a visit to Coll
orado. Mrs. Gleich deposited the
amount of the judgment against her in
the Evanston court. but Judge Rycl-
man refused to accept it.
Later, the diamonds were found to
be in Mrs. Ryckman's possession In
Salt Lake City. Mrs. Gleich promptly
filed suit against Mrs. Ryclxman to
recover the stones and secured a writ
of attachment for them. This was the
case that came up for trial in Salt
Lake yesterday.
Mrs. Ryckman refused 10 surrender
the diamonds and was cited before
Judge :. w. Stewart to show cause
why she shoule not be punished for
contempt. She showed the court that
her attitude was the result of a misun-
Outstanding Of instructions from her
attorneys. and delivered the diamonds
to the court. They were turned over
10 Sheriff Emery
AIRS. Gleich took a notion to wear the
diamonds for q while herself, so she
put up a bond for SO, coo and secured
possession Of her rocks. Later she re-
turned them to the sheriff and pulled
down her bond.
Judge Ryckman made an effort to
apnear as intervenoF in the case but his
petition was denied. 4 demurrer in the
case was argued before Judge Lewis
about month ago by Attorney SAM
uel Russell of Salt Lake for Mrs
Gleieh, and Judge w L. Maginnis of
Ogden for Mrs. Ryekman. The demur.
rer was overTuled. 81
After several eoutinuances had been
granted, the case came up for trial

uancc. In explanation Of his appear
ance in the case, Mr.. Lee stated that
he appeared by request Of Judge Ryck-
man. who believed he might be subject

to pay alimOny to his wife. Il coutln-
uance until > o'clock was granted,
when o motion for n further cOntin-

After it's long delay in coming to an
issue. the case was tried quickly. Mrs
Gleieh was the only witness aud was
on the stand but a few minutes. Judge
Lewis decreed that the diamonds be-
longed TO Mrs GleiCh and that they
should be returned 10 her.
Mrs. Gleich says the brooch was con-
verted into = ring during its absence
from her possession and that she has
suffered one arrest for alleged perjury
in connection with the case, but she
said she was well satisfied, taking the
case by and large.

Former Justice Fursman then came
into the case as counsel for Mrs.
Morse, and the legal proceedings con-
tinued up to the point where, on Jan.
4, 1904. the DOdge-Morse annulment
was entered in the supreme court.
Then an attorney named SweeJser, who
had served the papers on Dodge and
who had been at work ON the case TO
save his professional reputation. dis
covered letters from Dodge to Morti-

Real Object Unknown.

The real object OF the desire 20 OBJ
tain an annulment of the Dodge di-
vOrce was said to be TO thereby invali-
date the marriage of Mrs. Dodge and
Morse. Why it was sought to invali-
date this marriage has never been def
nitely learned, but the most sensational
stories have been in circulation on the
subject, the most persistent being that
q declaration OF invalidity instead of a
divorce was desired in order that an
other marriage might take place
with wealthy member of the Roman
catholic church under the rites of that
church.
Hummel appeared ia the proceedings
as attorney for Charles +. Dodge and
presented a claim by Dodge that he
never was properly served with the
summons in Mrs. Dodge's suit; that he
was not represented by counsel at the
trial. and that he knew nothing of the
matter until she was served with a Ger
tifcate of the decree.

CHARGE IS CONSPIRACY
MOTION FOR A SPECIAL JURY
DENIED.

New York, Dec. 13.--The trial Of
Abraham II. Hummel. one OF New
YoIk's most widely known lawyers on
the charge of conspiracy, was on the
calendar before Justice Rogers in the
supreme court today. The charge
against Hummel grew out Of the sem
satiOpal D0dge-AIorse divorce litiga-
ton, in which it was alleged that Hum
Iael entered into a conspiracy TO pro-
cure perjured evidence. Former Su-
preme Court Justice Edgar l.. Furs-
lnan also was indicted on the charge
Of conspiracy in the same case.
The conspiracy ard perjury charges
were made after an investigation by
District Attorney Jerome or alleSa-
tons that the courts had been made
use OF in an improper manner in an
effort to procure an annVlment Of the
decree OF divorce obtained by Mrs.
Clements Dodge against Charles +.
Dodge. After this divorce Mrs. Dodge
was married to Charles ". Morse, a
capitalist OF this city, who is very
prominent ii banking and business af-
fairs.

they stretch forth from the small hole

A Tooth.

A tooth is Il living structure. Inside
of each tooth is Il cavity filled with
pulp. which gives it life. Nerves and
blood vessels connect this pulp with
the general system and circulation of
the body. The ivory surrounding the
pulp is covered Over by a surface of
enamel. Both ivory and enamel are
harder than any other bones. because
they contain Il greater quantity of bone
earth. Enamel on the tops of the teeth
is One-siXteenth of an inch thick. 1t
consists of little six sided prisms
placed side by side and held together
by an eXquisitely fire cement. The
pulp of the tooth becomes diseased and
toothache follows. Tartar is a secre-
ton made by three glands in the
mouth, full of small, living organisms,
which assimilate matter in the saliva
and deposit it Oh the teeth in the shape
of phosphate of lime.
