PAYABLE AFTER HIS DEATH

Long years after romance has died
and been buried under the muck Of
mercenary motives, lawsuits and
breach of promise actions Emile L.
D 'Erblay, the old-time love of Col Sam
Norris, has brought suit against the
inheritor Of the colonel 5 acres for 500
240 which she claimed her lover owed
and never paid her.
Emile L. D 'Erblay, of New York,
IS the French woman who caused Col
onel Norris 50 much trouble and whose
persistent following of him is alleged
finally to have driven him from the
States to Hawaii where he became
known as a recIuse and an eccentric.
Years ago, it is said, Emile D 'Erblay,
after a period of inhammatory love
making, brought suit in the State OF
California for breach of promise. Soon
after that Norris left California and
New York and came to Hawaii, where
he resided up to the time of his death
! which occurred on July Ii last.
1 This suit, filed in the circuit court
yesterday by Magoon & Weaver, at
torneys for the woman, is not the first
! that she has brought. As far back a.
| 1891 she sued Norris for large amount
| and obtained Judgment in the circuit
= ,al ? h.
matter to the supreme court, which af
frmed the Judgment of the circuit
| Judge.
| In 1892, year after the circuit court
had rendered judgment against him
| Colonel Norris went to New York and
met the woman again. 1t is alleged
that while there he executed in hel
| favor, for reasons unknown, two notes
| for $4,000 each, with the very curious
provision that they should mature after
his death. They were to bear Interest
at six per cent. Now the D'Erblay
woman comes into court and brings sui
for 1921 on the principal and $34
240 interest. Whether Norris gave thu
notes in part satisfaction Of the judg
ment against him, to stave off furthe
breach of promise suits or for some
other reason is not known.
The action brought by Emile L
d 'Erblay is against Charles u. Macon
per. to whom Colonel Norris on jun
% last sold his ranch at kahuku, kau
for one dollar. The plaintiff in he
petition alleges that Norris left n
other property against which execution
can be had, and that the deed wa
voluntary and without valuable consid
Grafton and was executed by Norris 70
the purpose of hindering, delaying AM
defrauding his creditors and especial.
ne plaintiff.
The petition further recites that o.
January 10, 1909, Norris sold to San
Kauhane for $4,000 the cattle on HI
Kahuku Ranch and also fve-yeal
lease on a part of the ranch.
Plaintiff expresses the fear that Ma
comber will cucumber the premise:
waste them or sell them to lnnocen
parties, so that she might suffer IRE
parable injury. She says that she
without remedy at law and therefor
asks that a temporary injunction be l.
sued restraining Macomber from eI
i, numbering, wasting or selling the prem
} ises or personal property. She ask
further that Norris deed of the rane
10 Macomber be declared fraudule1
and void: that a decree be granted fc
! the payment of the $4,000 principe
and s34 24O interest she claims is du
p her on the promissory notes, and that
t receiver be appointed as soon as the d
