Paris, Dec. 2S.-vParis papers,

They have been informed that he in-
tends to sue several papers for things
said about him before he came to as
sumo his off cial duties.
Legitimus Is a full blooded Negro
and person Of large proportions.
before he came to France. some Of
the papers wanted to make him rath-
cr romatic, spoke of him as being a
fetish priest. one who worships
bones OF dead persons. It was also
related that he is conjurer Of
spirits and that he was o. partner of
one of the most feared robbers OF his
native land. IT was related that Le-
gitimus and the robbef had hidden
treasures OF gold and sparkling
Jewels.
When LegitimuS came to Paris
and banQuets were arranged In his
honor, he refused TO take part In
them. He said, in jocular way, that
he preferred to play with the bones
of the dead, than to eat at tables
with the living.
! A few days ago his lawyer made 1t
known that Legitimus is not a. fetish
priest and that he has never been In
partnership with any robber. He Is
