afternoon. when one Of the principal
persons in the suit against James W.
osborne sent an offer to United States
attorney Marshall 70 tell all.
This person was more anxious TO
.,ls than the District Attorney was to
listen. and as there are other matters
n importance pending. the proposed
conference will not take place until to-
-orrov. Because of this the case.
which was TO 20 to the United States
cr,pd Jury tomorrow, will not be pre-
sn,ed until Tuesday.
So confident is the District Attor-
,,v's Office that an indictment will be
,ound tina. Samuel Herschenstein. the
assistant District Attorney assigned
,,ab Roger B. Wood to the case, will
,Ue the necessary papers drawn be-
fore that body meets.
The one who has offered TO make a
e,,ement 10 MIR. Marshall is familiar
v,A substantially all the facts in the
,,., from the time that action was first
,ssrested against James ". Osborne.
This statement, 1t is expected, will
.sav Miss Tanzer in somewhat more
hvorsble light than proceedings Of the
las, week tended TO place her, but it
s,ct expected to completely exonerate

Elusive Oliver Eliminated.
The action Of this person also makes
tne appearance of Oliver Osborne, the
elusive suitor Of many women, Of small,
z sny. Importance. II was stated in
ls Federal Building yesterday that the
aews to this mans whereabouts had
faded. The best lead, ii was said,
.semed 20 indicate that he had taken
,sip for Europe. Because of his di
Finished Importance, the government
ssuths will waste no more time look
ing for him. though the private detec-
ives employed by j. w. Osborne are
rxious to find him.
Oliver, it appears, is OF Importance to
James W, who needs him as sort Of
Exhibit A to prove that there really is
sch man.
Federal Attorney Marshall was piqued
Tten he learned that the fact of there
kihg a new witness in the case had
become known. He admitted that there
IS such a witness, but beyond that he
l:iused TO go. He said also that
thange IN the date of presenting the
a.e to the grand jury had been de-
Cded upon.
In view Of my expectations that one
isrson OF Importance in the case is
ibcgt TO make comprehensive state

The information from these and
o'ter women indicates that in the final
sPpraisal Oliver Osborne will make

asy Earle loo. as mere novices in their
respective fields Of fame, not to men
