FOSS-BR0WN SUIT ONCE MORE.
Plaintiff Says Defendant Called Her
"Blackmaller;" Seeks Damages.

Any fear that the thrice-told details
OF the Foss- Brown breach of promise
case would be repeated in Judge Muir
fms court, where Mrs. Foss-Holmes-
Glldden Is now suing for damages,
claiming Brown called her a black
mailer" were get at rest, Thursday
morning. when the judge shut of the
cross-examination Of Brown, when 1t
appeared that the old case was to be
dragged In.
I'VE are not going to try that old
breach Of promise suit" he said Il
cannot see where 1t has any bearing
on this case, anyway. All you need
TO show is that plaintiff acted on the
advice OF counsel and In good faith. y
The defendant In the case Is David
A. Brown. president OF the Peoples
Ice Co. Three times he defended d
breach of promise suit brought against
him by the plaintiff. She now calls
herself Miss Florence Foss, but II was
brought out at the previous trials that
she has had two husbands, from whom
she Is divorced.
She charges that Brown gave out an
interview I'm which he referred to her
as "blackmailer." Brown makes no
denial OF the charge. but will endeavor
to show that he was justified in using
the language ascribed 10 him.

Island near the Belle Isle bridge ap-
fproach, I'm addition to his cigar busl-
ness. at No 81 Broadway. and the
captain declares that both places are
merely stalls" for other activities, In
his opinion.
The old. old story OF taking a
friends" advice and going against an
other mans game with the prospect OF
making little sure-thing money, led
/ Phillip Pate, an Italian. OF No. 4S5 Ora
| tiot-ave., to report to the police that
1 he had been swindled out or $l55 by
Rosasco: James McGregor, business
broker with Offices In the Hodges
building, and William Kelly, OF No. 220
Congress-st east. The three alleged
sharpers have been arrested by Detec-
tives Parker and Allen.
Pate's story is that he went TO Nc
Gfegor to buy some small, paying bus
mess, and that McGregor took him TO
Rosascos shop, where talk OF bust
ness was abandoned when Rosasco
and Kelly were found playing the old
"Klondike" game.

said McGregor, turning up card for
rates benefit. Pate bit. he won for
time Then his luck" turned, and
he left, loser by IS.
Come back with some money to-
morrow, and well clean them out,
said McGregor to Pate. according to
the latter. Pate drew $50 out OF tho

out To get a little fresh air. Sudden
" something smote him in the thought
factory He hurried to the bank, to
stop payment on the check, only TO
learn that McGregor had already been
there. and had the money.
Then Pate reported to the police.
He says that first, he asked McGreg-
or to give him his money back. but
that McGregor replied, Come around
some time when / have 500 or so,
and maybe I'll let you have some car

HOW PUMPKIN PIE SPOILED
DRAMATIC STAGE EFFECT.

Talking about stage pictures being
spoiled. witnessed case where pure
cussedness crept In and eyerlastingly
spoiled one OF theN most melodramatit
effects we ever put on" observed Harr.
son Stedman, as group OF members
OF the Vaughan CHASER company were
rehearsing the past.
1T was out In Iowa, quite a few
years back. when my company was
playing that nerve thriller 'Davy
Crockett And it, was all due 10 the
evil impulses of tame Dear We used
when the curtain went up and dis
closed Crocketts cabin In the wilder
ness in act one. The bear was
tethered at a corner OF the cabin for
the sake OF realism, you know.
But bn our opening night. one OF
the actors, deprived OF his supper,
had brought large pumpkin pie back
on the stage and set II aside for lunch
When the bear was led to position. he
slyly appropriated the pie. hugging II
close TO his furry side. And none OF us
noticed the theft. But Mr.. Bruin. on
being tied TO the corner OF the cabin,
failed TO relish the pie, and as the
curtain went up, when II was too late
for the hungry actor to reclaim his
own, he craftily buried the pie In
front OF the cabin door beneath a gen
erous sprinkling OF sawiust.
Then the audience heard the blood.
curdling whoop of the terrible red men
of In the distance, and Davy Crockett
made flying entrance. Merciful heav-
ems! VIII he gain the security OF his
stout log cabin in time? On. brave
heart, On, you fearless Injun' slayer,
But at that point Davy struck the
pie and shot like dart out into the
orchestra circle, telescoping big
drum In his journey. He never knew
what caused the precipitation until
after a half dozen Indians. hired for
the night at so cents per, had reached
the same danger zone and ricochetted
after him. For. as the bloodthirsty
braves hit the pie circle their feet
emulated the morning fog and sped
heavenwards
THE audience went into Mysteries
and the curtain was quickly run down.
