MAID OF GREGER

IN DIAMOND CASE
Says Master, Accused of
Theft, Asked Her to
Change Testimony.

RREST. France, oct 6-SensatiOnal

maid IN the employ Of Madame Alex

seIor Of the Russian embassy ia Paris,

which - Csrsger is charged vita shay-
Ing stars the famous blue diamond OF
Countess Rodelleo oH PorzlC, while he
and his vile were the guests OF the
countess al her Chateau. Ker-Stears, IN

The maid testified before Magistrate
Leray, who IS trying 10 unravel the
mystery surrounding the reported theft.
that her master had asked her 10
change the evidence she gave IN the
first hearing. This she declined 70 do.
saying she believed N. GrsEer guilty.
Diamond In Greger's Luggage.
Unusual interest has been attracted
TO this case because OF It's peculiar CHAR
acter and the prominence Of the p1rues
involved. The diamond was found IN
the luggage Of NJ. Greger and the count-
ess Immediately secured his arrest.
N. GregeT has from the first asserted
his innocence. He says the diamond
must have been put among his effects
for the purpose " running him. He
claims to be the victim Of cruel plot
TO bIacken his character and more than
hints that Count Rodellec du Porzic is
al the bottom OF the intrigue against
MIN
Wives of Both Men Americans.
His explanation is that the count Is
angry with him because he had advised
the countess. whose relations with her
husband are far from happy. to secure
q divorce.
In the American colony the case has
attracted unusual attention for the rea-
son that the wives of both men are

Enthusiastic Over
Chief Executive.

President Roosevelt yesterdav reeeiv-
ed two OF the biggest Irishmeu IN the
world. One was Major Rory Mckenzie,
Z feet ~ inches tall. weight 32S pounds
the other was the Hon. 7. p. O'Connor,
twenty-seVen years a member OF par
lament, author. journalist, statesman,
orator and ardent advocate OF Darlia-
uentary autonomy for ireland.
The President, be IL said 10 the credit
OF the United States was not overcome
by either OF his notable visitors. In the
case Of his visit with AIr. O'Conuor,
who called early IN the forenoon by ap-
pointment. the report goes that the
Blarney stone. had it been present,
would positively have felt ashamed OF
Itself.
Mr.. O'COnnoF. like the President, is an
all-around man Of distinction. II Ireland
were a republic he would be strictly IN
the Presidential class, and II IS extreme
~ doubtful whether he would be able
to escape third term, at that. He is
an author, as Is the President; a politi-
clan, as the President IS sometimes sus-
pected OF being; the friend or the plain
people, as the President Is proclaimed
TO be by all the platforms or the year.
And when 1t comes 70 doing a right
clever line OF jollying-wel, It may fair
~ be said that Mr.. O'Connor never en-
gagged in moro equal match than when
he exchanged hia compliments yesterday
with President Roosevelt.
Major McKenzie's Big Stick.
If Mr.. O'Connor. however. matches up
with some OF the specialties Of the
President, It must yet be said TO the
glory Of this Republic thar 1t takes two
Irishmen to duplicate all the virtues OF
the Chief Executive. Major Mckenzie
Is the only Irishman extant who can

Secretary Bonapsrte referred to the

IL spoke OF what II called the vast
treasure being expended upon the great
navy'-and OF the good that might b.
done II the money were devoted 70 the

continued, the same sentiment takes
shape in talk TO the effect that the cost
OF a battleship would endow a univer-
sity, followed by much sad wagging OF
the head over the melancholy reflection.
Now, IL is a little difficult TO deal sat

false. but sheer nonsense.
