ValetIess, BUSHES Aboard
Train-ShOuld Arrive
This Afternoon.
IDENTIFIED, IS REPORT,
BY TEXAS RELATIVES
Tons of Baggage Still at Hotel
-Talkative Friend Loudly
Denies Everything.

Palm Beach, Fla, Feb. Jean Har-
aid Edward s.. Cyr clambered upon
The Sea Limited this afternoon, and Is
on his way TO New York tonight, in hot
pursuit Of the reports that have tangled
his identity with that Of Jack Thomp-
son. chorus mar -haberdasher's clerk. OF
Waco, Tex. He should arrive in New
York tomorrow afternoon at APO
O'Clock.
Mrs. ST. Cyr is confined TO her suite
al The Breakers. too i'll, it is said, TO
leave her apartments. Also st. Cyr's
most priced possessions-his many
changes of costume are still at the
hotel. It is therefore certain he will
return, since he would permit nothing
short of death to separate him long
from his hourly change of attire.
That the trip was sudden and unpre-
meditated was indicated by the fact
that st. Cyr had made no reservation
on the New York train and got 10 the
station AZ the last moment. IL is gen
orally believed that the arrival OF New
York newspapers this morning telling
Of his alleged dual identity drove him
70 sudden flight. At any rate. he omit
ted mis- morning plunge. his promenade
and other light amusements that have
been a part of his daily programme.
But there is no mystery at all about
the whereabouts Of Gspper young
man whose belt buckle loudly proclaims
/ in silver letters his identity as Clark
Oakley Woodhouse, Belmont Hotel,
New York. Any Information that one
cannot obtain from Mr.. Woodnouse' 5
communicative belt buckle may be had
by listening 10 him for few moments.
During the first three hours Mr.
Woodhouse was here he told with much
wealth OF detail that he had accom-
panied Jean s.. Cyr TO Rochester, where
they met a Mrs. Nan Thompson Smith,
who said she had brother named Jack
Thompson and that the aforementioned
Jack Thompson was not the ST. Cyr OF
present complications. The loquaclous
Sir. Woodh0use said ne had known st.
Cyr intimately FOR two years while 81.
Cyr was married TO Mrs kedneld
But thore we're many other reports
circulated here tonight and given
credence hy those VINO discussed them
20 the effect that St. Cyr's relatives
from Waco. Tex, arrived here secretly
to-day and identified him under oath a.

Mrs. Frieds Thomas Bosler, who be-
fore her marriage 70 William D. Bosler.
ex-Assistant District Attorney, was
known as the "Port.a Of the East Side"
was arraigned before Magistrate Cor
nell in the Tombs court yesterday on
complaint OF Percy 4. McCord, a mo-
ton picture promoter, living at the
Hotel McAlpin. McCord accused Mrs
Bosler Of stealing his wallet, contain
ing $500. In the mean time her hus-
band, Big Bill" Bosler. as he is known.
was being srraigned in the Harlem
court for giving McCord black eye.
According 20 Assistant Distric. At
torney Carter, in the Tombs court. Nc
Cord and Bosler are interested in
Boston motion picture concern. In his
affidavit. McCord said that he and Mrs.
Bosler had been together downtown on
November Is last. and at about II
o'clock in the evening they boarded an
uptown elevated train at Cortlandt
Street. As they started up the stairs,
McCord said, Mrs. Bosler tripped, and
in trying to save herself she threw her
arms about him. He left the train az
Thirty-third Street and went 70 the Nc
Alpin. The next morning, he said, he
discovered that his wallet, containing
$1,000 and pass TO a Broadway the
atre, was gone.
Some time later, McCord said In his
affidavit. he was informed by Austin II.
MontegriHo, a lawyer, Of 299 Broadway,
that he had seen the wallet and 4
Broadway theatre pass in the posses
sion OF Mrs. Bosler. Montegrifo, who
was in the Tombs court, told Magis-
trato Cornell that he would not sign
any corrobora,ing affidavit because
he had peen subppnaed 20 testify
about the case before the grand jury.
He added that he knew McCord and
Mrs Bosler very well and didn't want
10 get mixed up in the case. Magistrate
Cornell then dismissed the complaint
and discharged Mrs. Bosler. Assistant
District ATTORNEY Carter took Monte
griTo before the grand jury and the
investigation will be continued to-day.
1T was perfectly ridiculous,' was
Mr.. Bosler's only comment as she
walked out Of court.

in the Harlem police court. McCord
came 10 his apartments, s25 West l19th
Street, yesterday and accused Mrs.
Bosler Of taking his money. When he
emerged from the apartment McCord
was nursing swollen eye. Bosler was
released on his own recognlEancc.
