JURY WILL DECIDE
H00DO0 GEM SUIT
Court Denies Moti0nf0r Judg-
ment Against McLeans.

The question as to whether Edward B.
Mclean and Mrs. Evelyn Walsh Nc.
Lean really bought the Hope" diamond
and oan be held for the alleged purchase
price Of $4,000, will be decided by q
Jury.
Justice Barnard yesterday denied a mo.
ton of Cartier" the Paris and New
York jewelers., for judgment for the full
purchase price under the answers of Mr.
and Mrs. Mclean, claimed by the jew
elers to be evasive. The court declares
that the affidavit Of Mrs. Mclean aver.
ring that the diamond was left at her
residence for inspection only, and that
she had nothing further to do with the
transaction. Her affidavit, says the court
must necessarily give her a right to have
the issue tried by a jury.
The contract set out in the answer OF
Mr. Mclean, according to the court.
partakes more Of the nature of an agree
ment to sell than a contract Of sale.
That the baby son Of the McEeans is
insured against kidnapping is the purport
of g London cable which says:
1T is understood the American baby
against whose kidnapping Lloyds have
quoted rates of insurance is Vinson
Walsh Mclean. son Of Edward B. and
Evelyn Walsh Mclean. OF washington.
and the grandson Of John r. Mclean
and the late Thomas F. Walsh.
THE boy Is heir to an immense sum
of money from his late grandfather. and
is also expected to inherit a great deal
from Mr.. Mclean. 81. According to the
terms of the offer made by Lloyds in
reply to a request for rates. the child
is warranted only to take the air in a
baby carriage. the upper part of which
is to be inclosed by a steel cage and
guarded by three detectives"

quired lot No. 1919, described as
"black ostrich plume Us inches)," in
the catalogue of the Post Office De-
partment's dead letter packages, be-
ing auctioned at a G street auction
house.
The crowd at the sale filled all the
chairs. every foot of available space
near the doors, and occupied the
stairway leading to the second floor.
Bidding was brisk all day, and the
prices, while not averaging as high
as on the opening day Of the sale,
were fair.
The desire to take a chance and
curiosity to know what filed the
sealed packages that are tersely de-
scribed in the big catalogue kept the
interest up. One lot-No. 58S7-
consisting of woman's damaged fur
hat, mans watch, foot ball bladder
two pairs scissors, work bag and
