The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-04-14

Drother-ln-iaW was one OI HE so1A 1o and he managed to escape. He made his way to England, then to Canada, and finally to New York. Since that time his mother left Russia and got to Marseilles, only to die there. She was trying to reach her son in this city. Sieboff, now forty years old, but only the wreck of a man, said to-day that he would visit the grave of his mother before going to St. Petersburg to surrender.
 During his life in Toronto, prior to coming to New York, Russian spies were ever hunting Sieboff. He man aged to elude them every time, but finally they got so near to him that he came to New York, where he hop ed to lose them.
 Some surprise was expressed this week because George W. Young, hus- band of Madame Lillian Nordica, the grand opera soprano, allowed a judg- ment for $65 to be taken against him by default for photographs of himself. his beautiful and accomplished wife, and some friends. Julian Rocklitz, the Fifth Avenue photographer, in whose studio the pictures were taken, testified that he had sent frequent bills to Young, who is a millionaire, but that no attention had been paid to them. Counsel for Young declar- ed to the court that his client was ill l and asked that the case be adjourn ed to give him time to come into court and defend the action. The presiding Justice ordered judgment ta- ken against him by default. with provision allowing the plaintiff to
 move for the reopening of the case | within three days.
 | Armed with a body attachment is-
 sued this week by one of the justices of the Supreme Court the Sheriff is 1 looking for Duncan c. Pell, one of so-
 ciety's beacon lights, who is charged l with being remiss in the payment of
 alimony to his former wife, the at
 tractive Anna Ogden Pell. In an af-
 fidavit to the court, Mrs. Pell claims
 her husband owes her s141O0 and that ! she has been unable to find him. She was granted her decree in May, 1905, ! and has not seen him since that time, although her attorneys have made strenuous search for him, in order to
 collect the allowance awarded her for
 the support of herself and two chill | dren. Pell has been much in evil dence of late about the fashionable
 restaurants and hotels of the city and
 has an abundance of money.
 | Larry Waterbury, crack polo 1 player and member of the Meadow
 brook team which defeated the All
 England team two years ago in the International match, outdistanced
 Little Jack Horner and his Christmas | pie" the other evening with a dinner
 that is still the talk of the town. AS
 the crowd was preparing to break up, l MT. Waterbury gave an order, and in- stantly three walters wheeled in an
 enormous pie, perforated with an ar
 tistic carving of ''Old King Cole" seat l ed at his feast.
 And when the pie was opened a
 frog began to croak; also, toad ap- | peared, and a small black cat, not many days old, but alive and fuzzy, | and long, green lizard, which
 squirmed and made for the edges of
 cile and amiable.
 | There was an animal for each of the guests when the dish was scraped
 clean, and the table represented a min iature zoo. What became of the frog
 and the toad is not known, other than
 that some members of the dinner par
 ty went searching for a fountain
 about the lobby. The cat was taken
 home in an overeoat pocket, and the
 lizard. too, lived to see another day.
 ~ ached to one of his hind legs was
 a small gold chain, and the guest fa- l vored with this reptile proudly ex- hibited him, pinned to the lapel of 1 his coat.
 | Replying to the criticism of some | emotional women who took exception l to his imposition of a heavy sentence 1 on a female prisoner convicted be- fore him of setting fire to a house, Supreme Court Justice Dike yester-
 day retorted that the sex of a crimin-
 al was entitled to no consideration.
 There is no sex in crime" he said "A woman who commits a felony should receive no leniency merely be-
 cause she is a woman. If women de-
 sire equal rights they must be pro- pared to meet equal obligations. A crime is a crime A man and a wo-
 man committing the same felony
 must suffer equal punishment. From
 the judges point of view that is quite l clear. It is ridiculous to plead for a lighter sentence because the criminal involved happens to be woman. In
 some cases, I am quite willing to be- lieve-in fact, I am very well con-
 vinced-there should be no sex in pol ftics. But I must say, as a Judge.
 I am entirely convinced there should
 be no sex in crime. A criminal is a
 criminal, whether the person be man | or woman.'
