NEGREss SECURES $4,000.
Dusky Charmer Sued for Money Given
Her by New York Millionaire.

NEW YORK. Jan. 13.-The final
stage in the struggle for the posses
sion of almost three quarters of a mil
lion dollars between John r. Plat, an
aged millionaire, and Hannah Elias
a negress, who he charges, wrong
fully obtained the money from him,
has begun before Justice Bischoff u
the supreme court.
In this suit it is expected that the
whole amazing story of the affair,
Which attracted the attention of the
entire country when the secret OF
Platts relations with the woman were
revealed by the filing of his suit last
summer, will be brought out.
Foul Murder Recalled.
Interest in the case was intensified
from the first by the strange and trag-
ic death of Andrew H. Green, one OF
the citys most prominent men, who
was shot to death, almost at the door
of the Elias woman's home on Cen
trail Park West, few months before
the Plat suit was filed. Green's muir
derer, a negro, who was captured and
later sent to an asylum, said he had
shot Mr.. Green because he was Jealous
of the latters attentions to Mrs. Elias
With the filing of the Plat suit, the
of fri
he was victim of mistaken identity
when the fatal attack was made was
practically proven, There was a re-
markable similarity in personal APP
pearance between Andrew H. Green
and John R. Plat, and Mr.. Platt him
self has said that he believes the in
sane negro intended to kill him and
mistoOk Mr. Green for him.
Defense of Negroes.
Mrs. Elias maintains that the vast
sum named in ,Platt's suit was given
to her voluntarily by Platt-that ne
literally threw money at her. She
has told of one instance when. she
says, after pressing her to take
large sum, which she refused, he threw
great handful of bank notes on the
floor and she had a servant gather
them up in a dustpan.
On the other hand Plat asserts that
the defendant resOrted to every trick
and device her ingenuity could CON-
mand to extort money from him, du-
ring the twenty years of their ac-
quaintance.
Mr.. Platt is now eighty-seven years
old and very feeble.

How Tom Marshall Saved $50.

The famous Thomas F. Marshall
of Kentucky was trying case be-
fore Judge Bush, noted jurist OF
that commonwealth, and became
guilty Of contempt Of court, says the
Chicago Record-Herald. The judge
promptly fined Mr.. Marshall $40,
which the orator as promptly paid.
Continuing his speech, Marshall
again became guilty of contempt
and was fined $50. He had not that
much money about him, but had tc
pay at once, else 60 to Jail. Mar
shall coolly looked over the audi
ence with the complacency that was
peculiarly his and then addressed
the judge.
''May it please the court" he
said, Gin looking over this assem-
blage of my fellow citizens I see nc
one whom I would so readily ask fol
a favor as your honor. Would the
court kindly lend me $50 wherewith
to pay this fine? | have not SC
much currency with me, and [ am
much disinclined to 60 to jail
The judge turned to the clerk OF
the court and in his old mans voice
that was changing to Childish ire
ble'' piped out:
'fMr. Clerk, scratch out that fine
against Mr.. MarshallL This COM
monwealth is better able to lose $40

Every melancholy thought, every

Still Prevail.

Some of the Old Psychological Beliefs
Still Prevail.
"Some Of the superstitons Of the old
mythologic religion still prevail among
the peasant classes in Greece" said a
native of that country. "Nor are the
educated classes without such beliefs,
such as that harm ensues from looking
at the moon over the right should er.
The belief in the three fates, the evil
eye, the vampires and the nereids Is
general. Dressed in black and appear
ing as old women, the fates are sup
posed to come down from Olympus
three days after the birth Of child
and to hold a meeting to determine Its
fate. Consequently table containing
many dainties Is set out for their in
visible enjoyment. Especial care Is
taken lest the old ladies be enraged at
not having enough good things to eat.
"No woman desires to be left alone
after her child is born, believing that
the ugly old women may become jeal-
GUS and wreak some awful vengeance.
Smut is therefore smeared on the
faces Of the youngsters so that this
jealousy may not become excited.
'The young Athenian women fire.
auently go to the ancient tombs near
Athens and, calling upon the fates, beg
them to reveal the identity Of their fu-
ture husbands, singing, From the top
Of Olympus, where are the fates, where
Is my own fate?"- "-Washington Post.
