lanta, ana proceeded to 1--we IN a
lordly fashion. His wife is de-
scribed as a beautiful woman
and to her he gave every con-
sideration.
His first scheme was to persuade
Sam Hall, a former Albanian who was
social leader and possessed of con-
siderable money, to go in with him
in the establishment of a weekly So
ciety paper. In justice court. where
Lamar was subsequently arraigned,
Mr. Hall charged him with cheating
and swiadling;' stating that he had
paid Lamar $500 to start the paper,
but that the paper had failed to ap-
pear, and that he had seen nothing
more of his $500.
Lamar, handsome and self-confi-
dent, arose in court and read a writ
ten defense Of himself, of which the
following are said to be verbatim ex-
tracts, remembered by veteran re-
porter:
EIoquence staggers Court.
Mr. Hall did not want his name to
be associated. with the paper. but he
promised that, from time to time. he
would furnish me with choice and
meaty bits of gossip and scandal.
Later I called on Mr. Hall at his
place Of business and was surprised
to find him bookkeeper in a coffin
factory There, surrounded by the
grewsome evidences of the mortality
of man, we concluded our arrange
ments."
The record, from memory. is that
Lamar's speech so staggered the court
with its eloquence that he escaped on
a technicality.
Next he organized a company to
take over the street car advertising Of
Atlanta. He secured DR.. Joseph ia
coos as an investor to the extent of
$500. When the company did not
pan out, DR.. Jacobs kissed" his
money goodbye.
However, some years later, DR.. ia
cobs was in New York City He no.
ticed in the papers that a David La
mar, a wealthy Wall Street broker
was winning blue ribbons a the Mad
ison Square Garden Horse Show.
Finally Got His $500.
He decided the case was worth in
vestigation, so he called at the Wall
Street address of David Lamar Aft
er an office boy had carried in his
card the private office door of Lamar
swung open and there stood the for
mer Albanian, surrounded by luxur-
ious furnishings.
Lamar was gushing. He greeted
DR.. Jacobs with an embrace, declar-
ing that DR. Jacobs had been his
great benefactor in a time of grave
need.
You know" he said, Il was plan
ming a little vacation. For that rea-
son l have neglected to send you the
money l owe you for l was going to
Atlanta TO give it to you personally"
The story DR.. Jacobs told to his
friends was that Lamar remembered
The amount to be $1,000, but after a
little argument he was convinced it
was $500, He gave DR.. Jacobs New
York exchange for the amount.
But back to the Atlanta end of the
story. Unrebuffed by the failure of
his two former projects, Lamar at
tempted to organize an accident in
surance company for railroad en-
ployees. His banker friend stood him
in good stead as chief hacker.
He got $500 from a citizen, who
soon regretted being persuaded. The
