COSTLY DICKENS SET IN SUIT
MRS. HoxIE UNWILLING TO
COMPLETE $4,000 PAYMENT.
Books Delivered Slowly and She
Traded for Thirteen Illuminated
Tablets She Never Received.

NEW YORK, July 16--To find out
whether thirteen illuminated tablets for
which she promised To pay $4,000 really
exist or are worth what she promised to
pay for them Mrs. Mary Hoxie, widow
Of John X. Hoxie the Chicago railroad
and stockyards man, yesterday obtained
from Justice Bischoff OF the supreme
court an order permitting her attorneys to
open a safe deposit box In the Garfield
Safe Deposit Company, where the tablets
are alleged U he. and inspect them.
1t came out in the proceedings that Mrs
Hoxie contracted to pay $50 volume for
13D Volumes of the works of Charles
Dickens. She is being sued by the Uni
versty Press on notes aggregating
$4,000.
In her answer to the suit Mrs. Hoxe
charges that she led into buying the
books and the tablets by George d. Sproul
of No. 1lo 9TH avenue She charges Sproul
with fraud and deceit.
Tablets to Be Inspected Today.
1t is expected that Roger Sherman of
Chicago, her attorney. and w. r. Angel.
her manager, will open the safe deposit
box today and take out the tablets. They
will he used as exhibits in the trial.
II was learned in connection with the
suit that Sproul is the same man who sold
to Howard T. Goodwin, confidential man
tor Gardner CasSatt & Co., of Philadel
pilia. To-, volumes of Dickens for $1,000
volume and 100 volumes of Shakespeare
at SlSoo volume. After Goodwin COM
mitted suicide in 1903 it was found that
he was short in his accounts TO the eX-
tent of several hundred thousand dol
lars.
Mrs. Hoxie alleges that Sproul made
the contract for the Dickens books with
her personally in 1902. She said that he
told her the books would be sold for $1,000
d volume. but because she was one of the
first subscribers he would let her have
them for $50 volume.
She says Sproul told her the books were
to be illuminated and illustrated by Ross
Turner. a celebrated London artist, and
that nothing like the set had ever been
produced. He told her, she says, that j.
Pierpont Morgan was behind the enter
prise. and ii was terefore assured of sue
cess. He called the books the st. Duns-

Took Tablets in Exchange.


After making payments to the extent
of several thousand dollars and getting
only four books in return, she says, she
wanted to repudiate the contract. She
told Sproul she would let him have all
she had paid on account and give him
back the four volumes if he would call
the deal off
He refused to do that. but told her he
was negotiating for the sale of thirteen
beautifully Illuminated tablets of the
Declaration of Independence and of the
Constitution of the United States. He
said the tablets were the work of Nestore
Leoni. an Italian. who had restored the
lost art of book illumination made fam
ous by the monks of the fifteenth CEN
tury"
Mrs. Hoxle said he promised he would
lei her have the tablets in lieu of the
books and that she could continue paying
her installments the same as before.
Though The tablets were easily worth
S2Go0 he would let her have them for
what she agreed to pay for the set of
Dickens.
Mrs. HoNie said she agreed to this. But
she protests that she has not received
one of the tablets yet.
Offered to Corcoran Art Gallery.
Nestor Leoni, described by Sproul as
.'the man who revived the lost art of il
lumining." came here in 1902 with his
tablets, which he claimed were worth
s2oo,po. and. it is said, offered them to
the Corcoran Art Gallery at Washington.
His arrangements with Sproul to sell the
tablets, together with 10o volumes of
books. at $1,000 each, 10 Howard T.
Goodwin, Philadelphia banker of the
firm of Cassatt & Co., is matter of
record The contract price was $3.50, 600.
Goodwin. after paying $4,000 on the
contract. shot himself fatally. His death

Herman Metz, controller of the city of
New York. is said to have been one of
the purchasers in this city who was
"stuns the contract for the costly
set. According to the attorneys inter-
ested in the present litigation he paid
$4,000 TO be released from his contract.
The testimony already taken before the
referee shows that the value of the Dick
ems books has been overestimated
Thomas B. De Winnie of the De Winnie
press swore the volumes were printed on
inferior parchment; expert binders said
that the binding was not hand fooled and
that the levant was American instead of
French. Two experts swore that the
volumes were not worth more than $50
each.
No one in authority at the Coreoran Art
Gallery can recall any offer having been
made by Nestor Leoni to dispose of il
Illuminated tablets valued at S2Oo,W0. Had
a transaction OF such magnitude been
under consideration al any time, however
il is intimated, some remembrance of the
circumstances would have been retained.
