GORMAN SUES FOR $4,000
Case Against Horse owner Dismissed
Biu Suit Instituted

P. ]. German, the race horse owner
who was arrested recently on the
charge of selling horse included with
a number of others in a mortgage given
by him to j. r. Costen, was examined
yesterday before Justice Pierce in the
township court. He was discharged
and the prosecution was severely scored
for having brought the action.
That German was not altogether sat
isfied with his acquittal on the crim-
inal charge was made evident yester-
day afternoon when he filed suit for
S25, 600 against j. r. Costen, the prose-
cutting witness, on the ground of false
and malicious prosecution. He says
that his wife and family have been
disgraced and that they have been sub
jected to the scorn and contempt of
their acquaintance, for which $4,000,
so German says, is a reasonable COM
pensation.

MILLIONAIRE AND
NURSE IN FIGHT
COME TO BLOWS IN APART
MENTS AT MELR0SE
~. 3. Kirk Of New York Fined one
Hundred Dollars In Police Court
for Attacking His
Attendant

A battle royal between the million
aire distiller, II. 3. Kirk of New York
and his nurse, Mrs. Bessie G. Camp
in a suite of apartments at the Mel
rose hotel, Monday night, was aired IN
Justice Chambers courts, yesterday af-
ternoon, when Mr.. Kirk pleaded guilty
to a charge of battery and was fined
S1OO.
From the testimony, the court was
not quite certain as to the cause Of
his nurse, who are touring the west.
The couple rented suite at the Mel
rose about a week ago, and Monday
night, according to the testimony OF
Mrs. Camp, Kirk insisted upon having
the door open between the two rooms
in case he should need assistance dur
ing the night Some disagreement
arose about the opening of the door.
and when Mrs. Camp found that the
door had been opened and a bed placed
against it to keep it open she became
indignant and a quarrel resulted. Mrs.
Camp alleged that Kirk had pushed
her about the room, whereon she threw
the contents of an ink well in his face
and followed it with the well. A pair
of scissors was the next object and
Kirk received a long scratch on the
side of his face from them. When a
roomer reached the apartments he

"that If twenty-dollar bills were strewn

am not guilty, but as have to leave
the city tomorrow, L will plead guilty"
Later in giving evidence Kirk referred
in a sighting way to Mrs. Camps
character, but remarked that he would
rather be kicked down to Pasadena
and back than be compelled in his de-
fense to make the allegations against
her.
Are you ready for sentence?" asked
Justice Chambers. "Sentence!" gasped
the startled millionaire. II did not
know that should be sentenced. If 1
have to go to Jail I know my health
will break down. Border!" he called
to his friend, and as Mr.. Border went
to him he said, What does that judge
mean by sentence? Do 1 have to go
to jail?" He was advised to accept
sentence and breathed sigh of relief
when only a fine was give nhim. He
promptly paid the S10O out of big roll
of bills and left the court room. Mrs.
Camp threatens to take further action
against him, charging him with de-
famation of character.

Supports Mother

BY some unfortunate accident Emil
Taylor 17-year-old boy, was caught
with too much brass of the wrong
brand on his person and yesterday he
was called upon to explain to Judge
Smith in the superior court. 1t was
alleged that the youth entered the
brass foundry conducted by A. Sperl,
and his inability to get away with a
quantity of metal was responsible for
his appearance in the criminal court.
1t developed that the boy is the sole
support of his mother, and on the
showing made in this connection Judge
Smith suspended sentence for the
period of one year.
Deputy Sheriff Franklin was ap-
pointed probation officer.

Rowland Harvey was a gentleman
by profession with refined tastes In
horse flesh, old wines and big game
shooting. These being expensive
things and his worldly possessions
amounting, in American money, to
some fifteen dollars odd, the clothes on
his back and a file of unpaid bills, he
looked upon the world with some
what cynical eye at the time of which
this small adventure is written.
Mr.. Harvey was lank, muscular and
bronZed, with a handsome mustache,
splendid health and somewhat shiny
suit Of clothes.
He was contemplating a new start
in life, and not wishing to be trammelled
with the possession of unnecessary
property, had determined to dispose
of his present cash holdings and start
square. With fifteen dollars he could
spend at least one enjoyable evening,
living on the fat of the land and feast
ing on q rare dish or two OF which
he had learned in foreign travels-for
good clothes he cared nothing. Care
less of appearance, he had, however,
been man of some parts, and he felt
that his entertainment would be in
complete if a mental diet was not In
Guided in his bill of fare; SO it was to
that end, on a drizzly Thursday even
ing, close onto seven o'clock, that he
strolled into a secondhand book store
and idly scanned some tattered
volumes of old tales. Most of them
were trash, but at last he found one
which suited his bizarre fancy-a
quaint little volume bound in brown

leather with the date. 1865. 1t was
dedicated to the "Most high and
puissant, the Marquis de Noailles,"
and purported to be the private
memoirs of period when to keep
diary was an indiscretion.
It was too early to dine as he in
tended to dine-so he turned into
neighboring cafe, ordered glass OF
absinthe and began to inspect his pur-
chase.
1t proved interesting and not little
scandalous; and, needless of the pass
age of time. he had read maybe
twenty pages, when a slip of paper de-
tached itself and fell to the floor.
The Puzzling Diagram.
He picked it up and glanced at it,
q half sheet Of modern note paper
covered with writing in modern Greek
At the bottom was a diagram with
casual interest, Harvey began stumb-
ling through it, picking out word
here and sentence there by the AID
of his almost forgotten school-boy
education.
Suddenly he sat up and rubbed his
eyes, for in the midst of the Greek he
had come across some scattered
English words. One was Raymond,
another was Brayford Grange, and
then there was some mixed Greek and
English reference to mill house.
His interest was now thoroughly
aroused, for, as he was well aware,
these names Were connected with the
tale of a famous jewel robbery Of the
eos, a crime with which the whole
country had rung at the time, and
for which an innocent man came near
losing his life.
In the summer OF 1860, to be pre-
else, an eccentric old gentleman had
taken Brayford Grange on the
Thames. Among other hobbies he had
a mania for jewels which he kept un
mounted in trays in a safe. The Ray
mond rubies We're world-fam0us. Late
one night the safe was rifed and the
old man brutally murdered.
The crime was the sensation or the
day. The Scotland Yard people re
covered the greater portion of the
stolen property, but the rubies, the
most famous of all the Jewels, were
never found, nor We're the perpetra
tors of the crime captured. After
nine days wonder, public interest sub
sided, and nothing had been heard
since of jewels or murderers.
Harvey scanned the paper with re
doubled care. He remembered thai
the crime was said to be the handi
work OF foreigner, bat the grabbed
modern Greek was too much for al:
