NEW YORK. December 10.-Mrs. Leslie

their client brought against Miss Norma L.
Munro on Thursday. a second action viii

certain other valuable property belonging to
Mrs. Carter which Miss Munro is believed

In this county to settle Judgment entered
against her In the supreme court on April
"a of this year.
Andrew r. McLaren of ~ William street,
who Is Mrs. Carriers attorney In the action
brought on Thursday and who win file tho
second suit against Miss Munro, said yes
terday that the troubles of Miss Munro had
just begun. He thought that when the
cases against her are all in she may linger
for an indefinite time in Paris, where she Ia
reported to be at the present time.
The discrepancy between the total sched-
ule of Mrs. Carriers claims against Norma
Munro and the amount named in the suit
begun on Thursday can be explained in this
way" said Mr.. McLaren yesterday. The
suit already filed covers only such points
as may be covered in a suit on contract
We will shortly commence a second action
for conversion of property. which will COW
er all the remainder of Miss Munros IN
debtedness to Mrs. Carter, totaling in all
about $57. 999."
The Case Of "Dimples."
Mrs. Carter's lawyer then explained the
case of Dimples. the Boston terrier, whose
purchase price of $500 is scheduled in the
list of debts claimed by Mrs. Carter against
Miss Munro.
Miss Munro wanted to give Mrs. Carter
q little present. SO she bought this dog
from man in Washington. Sne sent the
owner Of the dog a check. but shortly the
bank returned the check with IN. G. WRIT
ten across Its face. Mrs. Carter learned
that Miss Munros check had not been hon.
ored, SO she gave her friend $500 to place
to her credit in the bank upon which tho
check was drawn.
1t seems that somehow or other this sum
did not find its way to the bank, for when
a second check was sent to the owner OF
the Boston bullpup it, too, was returned
with the stamp No Good on 1T. So Mrs.
Carter paid for the gift Miss Munro made
to her and still is out $500
Mrs. Carriers lawyer was reminded that
Henry Bogert Clark attorney for Miss
Munro, said that he had the record of pay
ment having been made by Miss Munro for
the dog Dimples in his desk.
Yes" replied the attorney. Il believe
that the Washington dog owner sued or
threatened suit, and that he at last got his
money, but his receipt does not prove that
Mrs. Carter did not pay for her own gift
originally"
Mr.. McLaren then explained that the
items cited in the schedule dog CEDAR

flower bills and cost of automobiles repre-

with Mrs. Carriers money while the two
were boon companions.
Presents to Belasco.
LAS to those gifts to Mr.. Belasco, Tunis
Dean and Others" said Mr.. McLaren, why
those were little presents made Jointly by
Mrs. Carter and Miss Munro. Mrs. Carter
always gave all the money, expecting that
her friend would make good half of the
cost of the various articles. But she never
did.
Now we come down to the items. Re
