the famous syndicate pearl necklace. pay
ing for 1t $4,000 must now pay this Gov
ernment $4,000. representing 80 per cent.
duty on the necklace which he attempted
to import as individual pearls.
For three years a syndicate Of French
jewellers headed by Bernard and Hugo
Citroen. brothers. tried In vain to sell the
necklace. In May. 1905. Mrs. Leeds saw
1t in Paris and bought It, paying the price
mentioned. which included the duty. The
terms Of the sale stipulated that Mrs. Leeds
was to have possession of the necklace
while in Paris and on leaving the French
capital she was to return 1t to the jewellers,
who agreed to deliver It to her at Newport
as soon as she returned to America.
According to this agreement Hugo Cit
roen brought the necklace to this country
on June 10. 1905. but It had been unstrung
and was entered as individual pearls, on
which there Is duty Of only 10 per cent.
The duty on the pearls entered as necklace
would have been 90 per cent. The collector
said the pearls were a necklace. but the
board Of general appraisers admitted them
as loose pearls and they ~re duly de-
hvered to Mrs. Leeds at Newport. At the
collectors instance the Government sued
the jcweller for the additional duty.
Mrs. Leeds testified that abe had worn
the pearls as necklace in Paris. t'
Judge Lacombe Of the United States
circuit Court decided yesterday that the
pearls were neolklaoe. Unless appeal is
taken within thirty days the Citroen broth
ers must pay the $4,000. which Is 80 per
cent. on the invoice value Of $22o, 900. The
difference between the invoice value and
the purchase price is si20, 900. which Is not
enoughby $12. 900 to pay the 90 per cent. duty
on the invoice value.
