,atd's defence to the suit. which was for

Jewelry u took advantage Of the fact
that he was consuming a great quantity
Of assorted drinks daily and gained his
confidence after taking an apartment in
the house In which he lived at 80 West
Fifty-Afth street. Quintard alleged that
during a period % two months when he
wac Intoxicated continuously" the sales
man took a number OF women to his
apartment. After introducing them. he
said. tho statesmen extolled the charms OF
the women and caused him to buy them
valuable pieces OF jewelry. such as three
necklaces for 3i3. 900, 10000 and $4,000.

Dillon, Beaten and Discouraged,
May Quit Boxing Game Entirely

Jack Dillon, "the Hoosier bear
cat" "the giant killer" has quit
the ring!
At least that's the word from
Indianapolis, where Jack has
bought cafe and started in BUSH
ness. announcing he will never
box again.
Recent reversals, due, some say,
to failure of Dillon to keep in
condition, weighed heavily on the
great scrapper and caused him
to give up his ring career, after
several years as topnotcher.
Dillon has been one of the most
remarkable boxers the country
has ever produced.
Never a champion, Dillon has
always been the Fighter who is
going to do something"
For many years Dillon fought
almost weekly, touring every state
where boxing was permitted and
boxing for small stakes.
He seldom knocked his man
out, although many opportunities
presented themselves. Dillon pre-
ferred to let his men stay the
limit In order to husband them
for future bouts.
There was never much doubt
Of billions superiority over such
boxers as George (Knockout)
Brown or George Chip. He boxed
