ance policy which the prince was
forced to take out.
This sordid story of heiress hunting
and money lending has dragged
through the courts all the week, the
enigmatic countess shifting either and
occasionally faiting on the stand. She
persistently denied that she had ever
passed as Blanche Leigh. who was
notorious in Paris, known to hundreds
of people, and who failed a few years
ago for $16O,000. She even made the
statement that Geiger had eloped with
the said Blanche Leigh.
Title Declares Bogus.
This Geiger easily refuted, and
with dozens of others witnesses,
swore that Countess Glare" was q
false title and that the woman really
was the bankrupt beauty doctor,
whose secretary he had been for
years. He said she was an Irish
woman named Willets. and came from
County Glare, whence the bogus title;
that her so-called husband, "Sir Her.
bert CrOssley, bart.," did not exist.
The only existing baronet of that
name, Sir Savile Brinton Crossley,
disclaimed all knowledge Of her. In
spite of the evidence of dozens of
witnesses, including lawyers. business
men. and employees, this remarkable
woman clings to her Irish peerage
and declares that she never passed
as Blanche Leigh. Among the patrons
of that beauty shop were the Prin-
cess of Monaco, formerly Alice Helm,
of New ORLEANS, and King George Of
Greece. whose letter is in the hands
of the advocates. Meanwhile. Thurn

Witness Declares Attorney in
Charge of Case Was Green
and Incompetent
HORACE J. JONES Hello
THE Center Of THE STAGE
Said CLAWS Knew More Law Than
the Lawyer Who Represented the
Government and That Two Of the
Best Lawyers Opposed Him.

Washington, Feb. 25.-The Bal
linger-Pinchot inquiry took an un-
expected turn today when Special
Agent Horace T. Jones Of the land
office took the stand for the "prosecu-
ton" and made a sensational attack
on James NJ. Sheridan. who was sent
by the land Office to Seattle last year
to take charge of the governments
case in the hearings on the Cunning
ham coal claims in Alaska.
Jones declared Sheridan had been
graduated in law only year or two;
that Sheridan's conduct of the case
was incompetent; that CLAWS, al
though not lawyer knew more law
than Sheridan and that Sheridan had
opposed to him two of the best law
yers in Seattle. Testifying for an
hour, or more as to the conduct of the
case and giving instances from which
the witness wished the committee to
draw conclusions, Jones said that he
did not desire to criticize Sheridan
in any way. He said Louis R. CLAWS
was not lawyer but knew more law
than Sheridan did. Jones thought it
was reflection upon CLAWS for the
land office to send Sheridan out there
to take charge of case which CLAWS
had worked up. Under cross-exam-
ination Jones appeared defiant and
aggressive to members of the commit
tee and counsel alike and said he did
not care what inferences were drawn
from his testimony.
Jones was still under cross-exam-
ination when the luncheon recess was
taken and it appeared that Clifford
Pinchot would not be reached as a
witness until late in the afternoon.
When the committee met in open
session this morning Attorney Bran
deis for the prosecution" requested
permission to introduce in evidence
the statements recently made before
the senate committee on territories
by Stephen Birch, managing director,
and ]. N. Steele, attorney for the
company which was engaged in the
exploitation of Alaska. Their state
ments told in part of the Guggen-
heim-C Cunningham coal claims which
have been a source of trouble incident
at the present inquiry. Chairman
Nelson said that the statements of
Birch and Steele had not been made
under oath. The committee agreed
that the men should be summoned as
witnesses. The attorneys for both
sides united in the request.

difficult to nab" declared Lecoq. the
detective. Il might say he is impOssi-
BILE to nab. When this yellow scoun-
drel goes burgling be goes naked and
covered with oil. and thus he is as
slippery as an eel. But. you say, why
not nab him by the pigtail. hey? The
answer to that is that his pigtail is
done up in a knot on top Of his head
and stuck full Of needles and hatpins
with the points turned outward. You
often see q Chinaman in Pekin or

oil and with tiny red pricks all over

RESTED.

BOSTON, Mass. Feb. 1.-Two Of
ficers of the Massachusetts State po-
lice have left Boston for Bucharest,
Romania, to bring back Vahan Nal
bandian, a young Armenian, who has
been sought for several months,
charged with the murder of Minas NJ.
Monjian in Lynn last summer. After
a chase of 5000 miles Nalbandian was
arrested last week in Roumania.
The chase for Nalbandian began
last July, after he had been indicted
for murder by the Essex County
Grand Jury The police traced him
first to New York, thence to Eng
land, and then through Germany. On
several occasions foreign officials,
acting through instructions from Lynn
were ready to lay hands on him only
to find he had disappeared
For several months Nalbandian kept
working South through Europe. The
police lost trace of him, and then re-
located him at Alexandria, Egypt.
Through an acquaintance of the Lynn
chief of police, who had been in Alex
andTia, the chief got in cOmmunica-
ton with a mission priest in that city
and persuaded him to keep Lynn in
formed as to Nanbandian's move
ments.
The priest followed Nalbandian to
Silistria in Bulgaria. Here Nalbandian
evidently thought himself safe, for
the police learned that he had started
small clothing store there. The
Lynn police were beginning to de-
spair of again getting track of the
murder suspect when they received a
cablegram stating that he had been
arrested while visiting Alexandria,
ROumania. The Massachusetts author
tiles lost no time in getting extradi-
ton papers and despatching two Of
ficers on the long journey to bring
back Nalbandian to answer the charg
of murder.
A peculiar feature about the case
is that evidence against Nalbandian
is almost wholly circumstantial Mon

in his heart. Nalbandian was miss
ing. The police found that Monjian
had several hundred dollars, which al
so disappeared.
As result Of their first inyesti-
cation into the death Of Monjian the
police came to the opinion that the
mans death was accidental and that
Nalbandian had sought to hide the
body and then fled through fear. The
men were friends, and had been seen
chatting pleasantly shortly before
the tragedy. Nalbandian had a good
character in Lynn, but the police sub
