While Gaasey~s EseIp the spotlight

Annie Abbott. the little Georgia Magnet.
who is known in parts where Hoke Smith
was never heard of, showed up in the West
Side count yesterday afternoon as COM
~plsinant against William YuGus. q Greek
musician. who has a three room fiat at
353 West FOrty-ifth street.
For two, weeks Annie Abbott rented
two room from YuliusJ and then she went
away to show. Yulius says that she didn't
pay the rent; Annie says tina Yulitrs tried
10 kiss her, and for that matter would
have except that she used her strange
magnetic power upon him. since then he
has told every one about the house that
she is possessed Of the devil.
Nuius says that the Magnet took him
! FOR q greenhOTn. Also he n y that she tried
20 make him believe that she wanted TO
marry him. and he showed 10 Magistrate
Walsh "a letter which he says &nhie Abbott
wrote 70 him from Pittsield. Macs. The
Magnet declares that she waa never m
Ptttsfieid in her life that she knows ~ and
that ON October II. the day the letter is
Gated. sire was in Pittsburg making pud-
dlers writhc.
The Magistrate read the letter that came
from Pittstield. Then he asked the Magnet
~ WlitG ~ JUS llgEAtlOU.
As Annie reached for a pen and a blank
summon diamonds, rubies. pearls. emeralds
and catseves bhaed from every finger
OF her two hands and from her thumbs.
She held the pen az attention and waited.
The Magistrate scanned the letter for an
appropriate sentence. Then he said slowly
Write "A great big kiss and q hug from
yours ever deVotedly.'
~Oh. my God. does hc say that I wrote
hat laughed the Magnet. That | wrote
that TO him, and | a married woman!"
But after she had removed about $40 600
worth of gems so that her fingers could
work freely she wrote, and what che wrote
the Judge compared with the letter from
Pttshe!d. He didn't say what he thought
Of the similarity. but afterward he Dues
toned the Magnet closely.
According 90 the Magnet she went awav
on a ehort tour including Waterbury and
Ptttsburg. and then she got back the other
day Hulius met her in the hallway. He
didn't say a thing about the rent. He began
at once 10 make violent love and took her
by the hand. There vas his fatal mistake.
Any ono who has seen Annie Abbott play
ing snap the whip. with twenty big men
can understand that. The next thinR
Yulius knew. So the Magnet says. he was
damned against the wall crying Tor mercy.
She let up on him, and finding that be was
free he used his tongue

and ls Il real southern lady Y don't think
that what he said was respectful" Oh
served the Magnet yesterday. Besides. he
opened one OF my trunks and took q shoe
OF q pair that was going 20 send to the
orphan asylum in MilledgeviIle. He said
that he wanted 1t for a souvenir. Moreover.
he wrote me a letter that I did not like,
and here IL H."
She threw the letter in front Of the fudge,
but the day Was waning and several times
already the ayeljds of the Court had drooped.
Guess we had better put this on until
Tomorrow and finish Il them said the
Magistrate. Yulius was in court on a sum
mons and so he wae paroled.
Il marry him and become an orthodox
member OF the Greek church? I, who was
raised a haTdshell? Little Annie Abbott
has had all the notoriety she is looking for,
and II 10 wasn't hat he tried 20 kiss me [
wouldn't be here now" And tho Magnet
sailed out. Of the court room holding up
the train Of a gray velvet gown.
