WOMAN RELATES
HOW SHE FIRST
DOUBTED CROKER
Mrs. Christie Tells of Her
Deals With the Missing
Lawyer.

/ How she first became suspicious Of
Major Roland D. Crocker, the miss
ing promoter and lawyer, was ex-
planned on the witness stand in the
bankruptcy court yesterday by Mrs.
Elizabeth F.. Christie a family
friend" of Crocker's. Mrs. Christie
says she gave Crocker large sums of
money at various times to invest,
but allowed the account between
them to run on for years without
requesting a statement.
Finally when she demanded a
statement, she said that Crocker told
her to get another lawyer if she did
he wrote To her. He also told her in
the letter, she said that he was de-
posting her interest money in the
bank That settled things" she as
serted. for she thought the money
had been deposited all the time.
She declared that she went to the
Manufacturers National Bank and
found only $500 on deposit, where
she expected to find s3,500. This made
her suspicious of Croker, she de-
elared. and she began to feel differ
emily toward him. Nevertheless she
admitted she signed a $500 note Sc
cured by her property and sent it
to Croker to pay interest on her
mortgages
Later he sent for her to come here
from Cleveland to arrange a loan of
$3.50 to make repairs to her Central
avenue property. When she went to
sign the papers, she said, Croker
made her sign a loan for $4,350 in
stead of So, 800 This she did not like
and wrote to her son about It. He
treasured her she declared.
She then went on to explain how
Croker gave her son Arthur two
parcels of improved property on
Plane street.
My son came home from college"
she said, and Crocller wanted him
to come back to his office again and
give up college. Croker said he was
very sick and could not live many
days longer and wanted Arthur to
stay and look after his business. He
promised to remember Arthur in his
will Arthur agreed to do this de-
spite our protests. Then when he
didn't die, Mr.. Crocker gave Arthur
the Plane street houses instead of
the legacy he had promised him"

U Tic u6du+OI Tie pIOCCSS-On.
The evening halt never seemed to
begin. 1t was almost sunset before
the sheikh shouted the order and the
lone line of camels came to a stand
still. Then the the sheikh came to
Miss Bingham.
Great madam, have you small
bottle of sweet-scented essence, such
as the Franlxish women use to make
themselves smell sweet?" he asked.
1--we got a sachet, if that's what
you mean" replied Miss Bingham.
what do you want it for?"
'By its means shall restore to you
the $1,000" said the sheikh, taking
it and riding away.
Toward nightfan he assembled, his
men in line before the tent that Miss
Bingham occupied
20 dogs and sons of Elbis," he an
nounced, zone of you has stolen
treasures of value from the saddle
bag of the Frankish princess of ma
ture age. Wherefore Mohammed, the
white mule, shall put you to shame.
Know, then, that in him rests such
gift of discernment that whosoever
having stolen, takes hold of his tail,
causes him to bray. Thus, o rene
gades and faithless ones, let each of
you in turn enter the tent in which
Mohammed eats, and place his hand
upon his tail; and when he brays, be-
hold, the guilty man is there"
Used as she was to Arab ways, Miss
Bingham could hardly restrain her
disgust at this tomfoolery. However,
she said nothing until the ceremony
was over. One by one the men of the
caravan had entered the tent and laid
a hand each on Mohammed's tail; but
the mule had not brayed.
what do you mean by all this
nonsense?" Miss Bingham demanded
of the sheikh angrily. 81 want that
money, and 1 want you to open the
mems bags, or shall think you are
not anxious for me to get it back"

But Abdullah seemed equal to the
occasion.
Since Mohammed has refused to
assist me- he said, may stripes be
his portion, and the lowest place in
the world to come. / have another
method, for in the palm of each man
l can read his acts of the day. Stand
together and each man held up his
hand, palm upward. y
When he had assembled his men
the old sheikh went along the line.
peering closely into each uplifted
palm. Suddenly he stopped and jerk
ed man out Of the row.
Son of a jackal," he roared, even
now thou hast the, Frankish woman's
bag and the money"
The man fell grovelling upon his
face, and a fearful awe was on the
countenance of each of his comrades.
Bring it here at once" the sheikh
continued, and if there be missing
the least quota of farthing thou
shalt rot in Damascus jail. "
Five minutes later Miss Bingham
was in possession of her 81, 900 again,
and not single bill was missing.
'eBut how did you do it, sheikh?"
she inquired, a little later in the even
ing. 1T seems as wonderful to me
as it was to them"
90 Frankisi woman" said the
sheikh, a twinkle in his eye, ''the
thief did not lay hold of the mules
tail, fearing that he would bray"
We'll" inquired Miss Bingham,
still mystifed.
THUS, o teacher of womanhood,
the understanding powder with
which 1 had rubbed the tail of Mo-
manned was not transferred to his
palm, as was the case with the other
men"
'Then the thief was the man
whose hand did not smell of the sa-
Chef POWDER" inquired Miss Bing-
ham. "WeI, that beats everything!'
