Miss Burden Pays
Fine as Smuggler
Pleads Guilty to Evading
Duty on Garment Brought
From France in 1915

Miss Evelyn Byrd Burden. daughter
CT I. Townsend Burden. who was ar
rested with Mrs. Whitney Warren in
the fall Of 1915 on a charge OF attempt
ing to smuggIe goods into this country
from France, pleaded guilty yesterday
in the Federal district court 20 an in
Gictment charging her with evading
duty on a black embroidered opera
cloak.
Judge Martin T. Manton fncd her
g, 500 and told her that he did not wish
to add 70 her disgrace further than to
say that if she had pleaded not guilty
he would have been obliged 20 send
her to prison. The fine was paid ct
once b. Miss Burdens attorney, Alfred
A. Wheat.
Mr.. Wheat in pleading for clemency
said that his client had become involved
with the customs authorities through
tho transactions OF Mrs. Warren, who
IS under indictment for making a false
baggage declaration and will be brought
TO trial in October
According 70 the facts OF the case as
presented by Special Government Pros.
ecutor Frank E. Cars:arphen, Miss
Burden returned from France in the
fall OF 1915 as the companion Of Mrs.
Warren. The latter, the prosecutor
said, in her baggage declaration valued
the contents Of her trunk at $1,000, al
though they we're afterward appraised
at 81, 607.
Miss Burdens goods, Mr. Carstarphen
declared, were worth about $4,000.
Most Of the articles were intended for
members of her family. The cloak
with which the indictment was con-
cerned, was said by Miss Burden 70
have been made By William Hardy, an
importer Of cloaE5 az $50 Fifth Ave
nue., and therefore TO DC duty free.
The government dropped the Burden
case temporarily, and it was not until
this spring, when preparing the case
against Mrs. Warren. that it was dis.
covered that tie cloak had been pur-
chased in Paris. Besides the criminal
prosecution civil suits arc pending
against both Miss Burden and Mrs.
Warren for the forfeiture OF the a..
legally imported finery.
