Of the day
That was in 1900. when Tewksbury had q
hucketshop in lower Broadway. He plead
ed with hs wife and told her that she had
tO,O ON in bonds in q safe deposit vault and
wouldn't she get a cab and get them. She
consented. and Tewksbury sent his cashier
up to get the bonds. Tewksbury said he
would return them that night. She met him
and went TO a restaurant that night.
He thanked me and said l had saved
hin life she said, -but when l asked him to
return the bonds he said he would do that
the next day and not TO worry: j said /
was worried and he said. oh, l don't carry
bonds around in my pocket
aDid you ever get the bonds baok?' asked
Assistant District Attorney Caravan.
"Sev-erre," she replied raising her eyee
10 heaven above.
She talked to Tewksbury twice about the
bonds after the night in the restaurant.
Once he wanted to know why she couldn't
trust him.. The next time he said he was
too tired TO talk about bonds that were
all right in a safe deposit vault.
But you know, I knew him. said Mrs.
Gruenhut, "and l wanted to see them"
Two years later she traced Tewksbury
to London and dropped in on him one day
long after his second failure.
I said, I've come for my bonds, my
jewelry and my cash. > she testified.
Please don't ask me. he replied. I lost
everything in Wall Street before I left.

bury that Mr.. Mcintyre tried to STOP. But
the Recorder. the persuasive words Of
District Attorney Corrigan, who is bald
headed and may have reminded her Of the
front row, and a court officers endeavors
couldn't stop her. Her maiden name was
Mary Mills, she said. and although an actress,
she never went under the name OF Mines:
She married a theatrical manager named
Hedley, got a divorce from him, married
Grunhut two months later-she had been
enga ged to Grunhut before she married
H~edley-and in 1895 Grunhut died. Grunhut
left a will, but she had never seen 1t. She
got her dover, about S25 900. Her rela-
tons with Tewksbury had been friendly
before Grunhut's death. but she denied
that she had gone to theatres and restau-
rants with Tewsksbury right after Grun-
hut's death. She used TO visit his mother
and sister, she said. 1t was not until six
months after Grunhut's death that she
went around with him..

Mr.. Mcintyre.
no, he went driving with 'me-in my car

asked Mr., Mcintyre.
4 do not " she said positively.
But Mr.. Tewksbury gave you bonds and
money! said Mr., Mcintyre.
oh, yes, he gave me bonds-lots OF them
land money and jewelry, she said, shaking
her head proudly. Mr., Mcintyre smiled
like the baby who has just swallowed two
chocolates, She noticed it. Mr.. Grun-
huti' she asked.
NO, Mr.. Tewksbury,' said Mr.. Mcintyre.
He did not she said.
u Didn't he give you diamonds?'
no, no, ~no-nothing," stamping her
She never knew that Tewksbury. was
worth a lot Of money. She didn't know
anything about Tewksbury's gorgeous up
town house, she said. She was never In 1t.
But Tewksbury gave her and a man named
Harmon a $4,000 mortga &c on 1t.
Didn't you promise to give Mr.. Tewks-
bury two yea rs If he would settle up'' Mr..
Mcintyre asked.
,,oh, I'd given him ten years Il he had
