The cormOrants are among the most

world They are employed in the
fishing industry of the coast Of Scot

who place a brass ring round each
Of their throats so as to prevent the
birds swallowing. They naturally feed
upon fish and soon learn to deposit

SEEKS TO ENJO|N
SALE Of PROPERTY
Mrs. O'Toole Charges That
81, 500 Was Obtained BY
"Insistence and Coercion"

Charging that 81, 500 was obtained from
her through "insistence and coercion, "
by representing that her son James j.
'O"Toole had forged valuable papers and
embezzIed money to the extent of 5000
or more, Mrs. Catherine r. O'Toole to-
day began proceedings in equity against
Harry Lamson and others to enjofn
a threatened sale of her property at
Ills Fourteenth street northwest.
In the bill filed through Attorney
Wilton ]. Lambert, it is alleged that
young O'Toole was a partner of Benja-
min +. Anderson and William b. Muir
ray, also made defendants in the suit,
who did business under the firm name
of the Rider-Lewis Automobile Com
pany.
Justice Gould, upon presentation o.
the bill this afternoon, issued a rule
against the defendants returnable
January 12, commanding them to
show cause why the Injunction should
not be granted.
Last September O'Toole left Wash
ington to make sales of the Rider
Lewis automobiles in the West and
South. During her sons absence, Mrs.
O'TooIe said she received a call from
her sons partners and their counsel,
and they told her that her son had
forged papers and had emhezzled or
stolen money TO the extent of 5000.
Signed a Paper.
At this time, the bill sets forth. Mrs.
O'TooIe did not know of the where
abouts of her son. His partners told
her they could locate him and threat
ened TO have him arrested and brought
to Washington at once unless she paid
them $1,000 or executed a note or
mortage on her property for that
amount.
Upon these representations, the bill
states, Mrs. O'Toole signed a paper
she believed to have been a promtsory
note for that amount and that
through Lamson, $500 was collect
ed from her on account of the note.
About December /, Mrs. OToole
said she located her son in 1ndianap-
oils and after investigating the case
came TO the conclusion that her son
had not been guilty of forgery or
embeZzlement She notified the hold
ers Of the note that she repudiated 1t
and said she received from her son
$500 which he had on hand belong
ing to the partnership.
Sees Advertisement.
Her attention was called to an ad-
vertisement inserted in daily papers of
January 5, 1911, that the trustees, Dyer
G. Hail, would sell at public auction her
real estate on January Il through Adam
Weschler, auctioneer. The plaintiff
asks that the sale be enjolned, and the
trust be delivered up for cancellation.
Mrs. O'Toole declares through the bill
that she asked that time be allowed for
investigation of the case, and promised
If her son was found guilty to make
good his defalcation to the fullest. This
offer, she says, was refused. the only
condition on which her sons partners
would agree not to place him under
immediate arrest being that she made
instant provision for reparation.

CYANIDE REPORT NO

If Cumberland Man Did
Purchase Poison Mystery
Is AS Deep AS Ever. !,

CUMBERLAND, Md. Jan. Estates
Attorney Robb believes If it develops
that Twigg really purchased cyanide
of potassium from an orchardist at
Paw Paw. w. Va, last summer the
mystery will remain as dark as ever.
A prominent orchardist, according TO
statements handed States Attorne;'
Robb told II in stores and other public
places at Paw Paw that last summer
Twigg purchased four, pounds OF the
poison from him presumably for or
chard spraying. States Attorney Robb
Is now investigating. =
One who had been talking freely
about Paw Paw regarding Twigg closed
up like a clam when he found that what
he had been saying reached the States
Attorney, and denied having said that
Twigg purchased any cyanide. He does
not desire to get any notoriety from
the case, and he does not care about
being subpoenaed. He lives In another
State, and 1t would be hard to get him
