"CAN l BE

found that he suffered financial reverses and other
personal msfortunes.
Hope is credited with having given the diamond
to his daughter at the time she married the sixth
duke Of Newcastle i'm 1861. But apparently it was
the fiction mongers and not she who bequeathed
the gem TO her son, Lord Francis Hope, that 1t
might get sensatonally into the life of May Yohe,
the American actress.
This part of the story is mere fiction 1t is true
that May Yohe married Lord Francis Hope. 1t
is true that she eloped with Capt. Putnam Brad
lee Strong, son of former mayor Of New York.
Lord Francis obtained divorce, and the wife
married Captain Strong, only to be divorced a
second time.
But May Yohe, although she has been quoted as
saying that she the Hope diamond only
twice and that her troubles were due to its malign
influence probably never even saw the stone Ger
tainly Lord Francis never had possession Of 1t.
So, when the story goes to say that he sold
1t for $16SOOO TO Joseph Frankel, a New York
jeweler, the statement Is untrue
1t Is true that Frankel had the gem in New
York. Where and from whom Frankel acquired
the stone has been made clear, but the
stone went back to Paris and into the possession
Of Jacques Colet, who bought 1t from Frankel.
Colet has been reported having killed himself
after losing his mind
Before that tragedy, however, the diamond is
reputed to have passed into the ownership of
Prince Ivan Kanitowski, and the legend promptly

the murder of Mile. Ladue to whom the Russian
prince had loaned the diamond A Jealous ad.

Next In the legend of the jewel is listed Simon
Moncharides, of whose identity there appears to
be uncertainty. But the legend sends him riding
close enough to n precpice to be thrown over and
killed. Just before his death Monchardes is cred
tied with having sold the diamond to Selim Habib

One version of the next chapter is that Habib

The publication of this later explained as n

Be all that as it may 1t appears that instead OF

The gem then passed into possession of T. C.
