NEW YORK, Aug. 26--By her ex-
traordinary story, the wealthy woman,
to preserve whose reputation a young
college man is now serving a three
year term in Sing Sing prison, is COM
ing into the light of publicity.
Not only has the woman decided TO
make her own sacrifice in return for
what the man did for her, but steps
are being taken TO bring to justice the
band of blackmailers, headed by a law
yer and a woman. who have succeeded
in extorting money from her.
IL was discovered today that they
had gotten over 100000 from their vic
tim in all, including a fine house. Pa
pers in civil suit against them were
prepared by Lawyer Carl Fischer Han
sen. TO recover the money. and after.
if this suit is successful. the black
mailers will be taken before the grand
jury and indicted for conspiracy and
blackmaiI.
The real estate is believed to be the
home in this city of the woman who
feared to let the simple truth b. known.
The conspirators are headed by a wo-
Kan, whose word is law. The lawyer is
said to be only a necessary adjunct to
her plans 1t is clear case of woman
against woman.
Others in Plot.
TWO other men. servants in the en-
ploy of the woman, are also receiving
large amounts of money.
No plea ever laid before a chief execu-
tive OF the State of New York asking
the release OF a man from the steel
clasp of Sing Sing prison, was ever
like the one which Fischer Hansen in
tends to present TO the governor in the
next few days.
The plea will contain a story from real
life surprising all romantic irnaginings

The police never had a doubt that
she was criminal, but they were never
able TO prove 1t 10 the satisfaction OF
jurics or judges, and after two of her
greatest crimes she was able TO leave
the courtroom a free woman. This last
arrest seems 10 settle the question.
