Hope is credited with having given the diamond
TO his daughter at the time she married the sixth
duke Of Newcastle in 1861. But apparently it was
the fiction pongeS 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,

that May Yohe married Lord Francis Hope It
is true that she eloped with Capt Putnam Brad.

LORD Francis obtained divorce. and the wife
married Captain Strong, only to be divorced

influence, probably never even saw the stone Ger

1t Is true that Franke had the gem in New
York. Where and from whom Frankel acquired
the stone never has been made clear. but the
stone went back to Paris and into the possession
of jacques Colet, who bought it from Frankel
Colet has been reported as 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

Russian revoutionists. Thence the story skins tn
the murder of Mile Ladue, to whom the Russian
prince had loaned the diamond A Jealous nd.
mlrer is charged with this murder
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 precipice to be thrown over and
killed. Just before his death Moncharides ia cred
tied with having sold the diamond to Selim Habib.
a Persian, who acted as agent for the Sultan
Abdul Hamid.
One version of the next chapter is that Habib
was drowned in wreck and the diamond lost,
The publication of this was later explained as a
ruse to throw thieves off the trail. This version
takes the stone to Constantinople where II c,1ts
wide swath in violence, misfortune and death and
nnally brings about the end Of Abdul Hamid.
BE all that us 1t may, IT appears that instead OF
having drowned with the gem In the shipwrech

GUS while he had the stone and Habits misfor-
tunes came after he sold the stone. Sir Francis
Hope never had the stone and May Yohe never
saw 1t. All of which states T. Edgar Wilson, as
aforesaid.
Nevertheless and notwithstanding, the reputa-
ton of the Hope diamond is probably blasted for
all time. If it hasn't the "evil eye" there are
millions of superstitious people who believe 1T has
and will give credence to everything evil they may
read about it.
They may, in the course of time even attribute
to its malign influence the automobile accident
which made Vinson Mclean at his birth the sole
heir to the great Walsh fortune. In 1905, when
automobiles were rare, Vinson Walsh, brother of
Mrs. Mclean, was killed in smashup at Newport
Mrs. Mclean, who was then Miss Evelyn Walsh
was also in the car and received injuries which
made her an invalid for year.
Two other children have been born to Mr. and
Mrs. Mclean, both boys, one of whom is four and
the other year old
AT the time of the probating of his grandpa
ther Wash's will it was found that there was
only S6,21OO0O to be divided between the two heirs
of the Mclean union, Vinson and John R.. Jr.
Young Mclean was democratic youth For
several years his boon companion was small
negro boy. His tutors said he was an exception
ally bright student and he was popular with his
mates.
he was IOnQ OF animals. tlfty-S1X Shropshire
sheep were sent all the way from Colorado to Bar
Harbor by express for him. They came from the
big Walsh ranch, Wolhurst, near Denver. He
himself directed the purchase Of a great flock Of
white Bralma chickens, ducks and turkeys Rus
sian wolf hound. six blooded terriers, two Great
Danes and half score Of other dogs and great
number of ponies.
Are the McLeans Superstitious about the beau
tiful gem? Nobody seems to know definitely But
Of the stories about the stone since has been
in their possession seems to indicate that Its evil
reputation had its effect upon them.
Anyway as the story goes, there was some hitch
about the payment of the purchase price of the
stone. 1t evidently was not because Of lack of
money. There was law suit. In the course of
the controversy stories were printed to show that
Mr. Mclean harbored feeling of timidity be-
cause Of the evil history attributed to the stone
and that he stipulated that the jewel should be
taken back by the Cartier firm in the event that
any tragedy occurred in the Mclean family within
six months Whether that story is true is not
Clear but eventually formal announcement was
made by attorneys connected with the suit over
the purchase price that compromise had been
effected.
The superstitious who believe in the "evI eye"
which is worldwide belief that neither Christian
ity nor civilization has been able to KILL will
pin their faith on the evil spell Of the Hope dia.
mond to this fact:
vinson Mclean was probably the most carefully
guarded child in the world, yet casual automobile
came along and killed him.

Whoa, Beaumont! You'll
Have to Back Up

Now, whadda you think? Beau
mont, Texas, is in the right church,
but in the wrong pew. Of course,
you can't blame anyone for trying
to get all the credit possible for
good work, but good gracious me
Don't be taking the credit away from
some one else to whom it rightfully
belongs. You see, Alonzo, it's like
this: The La Forge, one of the Fer
ris type ships built and launched at
this port was sent to Beaumont to
be equipped, and now the Beaumont
Enterprise comes out in its Sunday
issue with big picture of the La
Forge and says that the boat was
built and launched in Beaumont. Now
Lon, don't you think it is time for
those Beaumont folks to hold their
horses and back up bit?
The Morgan City yards of the
Emergency Fleet Corporation operat-
ed by the Union Bridge & construc-
ton Co., have turned out four Ferris
type vessels so far, one of which, by
the way, was claimed by New Or
leans some time ago through the
same kind of error. There are two
more vessels here to be launched
within the next week, together with
several sea-going barges. Now,
Beaumont, as soon as these boats are
finished and all equipped, you may
add few more peacock feathers to
your cap by adding these to the list
of vessels 'built and launched at
Beaumont" Rest assured that you
will be perfectly safe in doing this,
because very New people know that
there is such burg as Morgan City
on the map Some have heard about
it, but think of it only as hamlet
in the swampy wilds of Louisiana.
Of course, there are several thousand
people here, and some Of them may
be wise BIRDS" but don't let that
fact bother you any. Go right ahead
and stick IS many laurels in your
wreath as you can grab. There are
several privately owned shipyards
here turning out vessels right along,
but, of course, it is not probable that
ron would want to claim these ves-
sells too, otherwise you would be
informed (most probably every
line one left the ways of these yards.
