MAN SIGNED COROT'S NAM
Suit Over Picture Reveals How "Oid
Masters" May Sometimes Be
Produced.

Ions ou.-Because the testimony
was contradictory the jury in d p
culiar case involving a bogus sigma
ture of CUr0t 90 picture could NOT
agree and the case must dras along
in the courts unless ia Is settled or
dropped. The case came up in the
Greenwich county court. when Dr. The
obald Fisher OF Sidcup sued Freder-
lex Stinson, picture dealer, Of Lee
green and Sidcup for 600 damages
Counsel said the picture was one
formerly in the collection of the late
Mr. Gillett of Birmingham. The pic
ture was unsigned. but on the back
was the word Corot. Plaintiff gave
about { so for it.
In April plaintiff let defendant have
it, still unsi sned, to sell, defendant 10
receive a commission. Subsequently
he told plaintiff he had an offer OF
SIS and plaintiff said he would accept
that. Defendant then said he had put
the signature "Corot" on the face OF
the picture, because he thought II
was a real Corot, and it would entice
people to buy. No sale resulted, but
when plaintiff saw the picture again
it had the word "CorrOt'' in bright red
in the left hand bottom corner. The
signature was obviously new, and
plaintiff told defendant he must re-
move it. Later the picture arrived at
plaintiffs house with the signature
gone and the corner of the picture
damaged.
Plaintiff and others gave evidence
/ that there was &c signature on the pic
/ ture.
+ Defendant however, declared that
, when the picture arrived at his shop
the name "Corot" was on the face
of it. Indeed. when plaintiff asked
him to sell it he showed him photo

could be seen. lie was unable TO Ell

because his wishes in regard to extra
demonstration at his arrival, are al

marks all of his movements.
A country club is of great conven-
fence to any man, for it enables him
to enjoy all of the privileges of a
great country estate at small cost
and without the trouble attendant
upon maintaining one. He can hunt
