BARONESS SUED BY LOVER CALLS jewels
gift FOR AN IMMORAL CONSIDERATION

London, Feb. 4.-Eyidence Of a very
sensational character has been intro
duced in the suit now in progress here
in which DR.. Ernest Villiers ApplebY,
former professor in the Minnesota uni
yersity, is the plaintiff and the Baron
ess May de Constandt formerly Marie
Dugus, of Chicago, is the defendant
The relations of the pair, whose life
together for several seasons made
them conspicuous visitors at various
European resorts, are being put on
public record as the case progresses.
The story that is being unfolded be-
fore the kings bench division of the
high court of justice involves a high
ly attractive and stylish woman whose
vanities ran to costly jewelry and a
man who began life as a student,
married wealth and following his
wife's death sought pleasure in the
gay life of European capitals.
While the infatuation lasted there
was no pretense of accounts between
the two but when it ceased three
years ago and subsequent bills were
rendered to Appleby for $4,000 by 4
Paris jeweler to clear balance on &
$65,OOO necklace payment for which
had been guaranteed by Appleby, he
remembered that the baroness had
promised to pay and that his guaran-
tee was merely a friendly act, to en-
able her to obtain possession of the

gems. He is suing her for that sum
which he has been compelled to pay
the Paris jeweler
The womans defense is that the
necklace was a gift from Appleby to
herself in consideration of their life
together and thus his claim is with
out validity in law.
Their relations, as divulged in court
began in 1903, at a chance meeting on
train between Chicago and New
York. They became instant friends,
Both considered themselves free agents
for the baroness had parted from her
husband two years before, while tn
wife Of the professor was dead She
lad left him a small fortune and he
had given up his professorship at the
university
The romance begun on the train
bore the two to Europe where for six
years they lived a life of continuous
gayety Then the baroness visited he
old home in the United States. Or
her return to Europe she was less dc,
voted to Appleby though she still con
tinued to live with him until 1910
when they parted for good 1t was be
fore the separation that the necklace
purchase was made.
The testimony shows such strone
infatuation on Appleby's part that he
would have been glad to marry the ba
roness although the annuity of $40,
600 which his wife had bequeathed t
him was to last only while he remain
ed single. In order to make the wal
clear for marriage, Appleby worked
a deal with his wife's relatives where

! by he received a lump sum Of $4,000
cash in lieu of all future annuity Out
of this sum he settled on the baroness
$3,75 year and passed over to he's
house at Maidenhead, But she re-
fused to marry him. She is now meet
ing his suit for $4,000 with counter
claim for $17.5O0 for arrears in settle
Inent payments and for deed to the
house. His reply to these claims is
that he agreed to the settlement and
to the gift of the house solely to hush
her threats to leave him for some low
er in China, or another in New York.
He now says there is still another To-
yer in the Rivera.

LAUNDRY MARX ON
CLOTHES MAY LEAD
TO MURDERER'S DISCOVERY

Atlanta, Feb. 4.-The mark BY
Imprinted in a sewing machine on the
dainty garments of a six-weeks-old
baby girl is the only clue the Atlanta
police have in a search they have be-
gun for the slayer of the child.
The baby was thrown from NOV
ing Southern Railway train enroute
from Atlanta to Washington, and the
body was found in a mill pond near
Spartenburg, S. c. The local police
authorities are in communication with
the Spartanburg police, and kilograms
have also been sent to Washington.
The police believe that the BY" on
the childs clothes is a laundry mark,
and that it was put on by regular
laundry machine. There are
several machines of this kind in At
lanta, but none in Spartenburg nor
so far as can be learned in any town
on the Southern Road between Atlanta
and Spartenburg.
