Famous Case of
"Oliver Osborne"
Closed by Death
Charges Against Rae Tanzer, Who
Caused Sensation by Breach Of
Promise Suit, Dropped.

Owing to the recent death OF James w.
Osborne, noted criminal lawyer. tho gov
ernment yesterday closed the final chapter
Of the famous solver Osborne" case by
abandoning the prosecution Of David and
Maxwell Slade, members OF the firm OF
Slade & Slade, lawyers; Rae Tanzer and
her sisters Dora and Rose Tanner. on in
dictments charging them with violating
the postal laws and attempting to obstruct
justice.
In asking the federal court to close tho
case Ben A. Matthews Assistant United
States Attorney, declared that because of
Mr. Osbornes death there was little likeli-
hood of conviction in the case, because
Mr.. Osborne was the principal witness.
On ST. Patrick's Day, 1915, Slade d
Slade, as counsel for Miss Rae Tanzer, who
was a forewoman in a millinery factory,
filed papers in the Supreme Court in an
action against Mr.. Osborne for $4,000.
charging breach of promise. She alleged
that, although Mr.. Osborne had wife and
grown son, he posing as Oliver Osborne,
wrote love letters to her, called on her 2t
her home in the Bronx and eventually took
her to hotel in Plainfield, \. j., where
Mr.. Osborne registered as Mr.. and Mrs.
Oliver Osborne.
Then followed one Of the most sensational
country. Mr.. Osborne not alone denied he
ever met the woman but through the love
notes which were made a part of the evil
dence in the breach of promise action. he
caused the indictment of Miss Tanzer her
sisters and the lawyers on charges of
using the mail in a scheme 10 defraud.
For two years the case almost continu-
ously was before the public through va
rious court proceedings emanating from
the original breach of promise case.
Franklin d. Stafford clerk in the Plainfield
hotel, was convicted at two trials on in
Idictments charging him with perjury in
connection with his Identification of Mr..
Osborne as the man who accompanied Rae
Tanner to the hotel.
While H. Snowden Marshall, then United
States Attorney in this district, was pre-
pairing for the trial of Miss Tanner i'm
parchment proceedings were instituted
against him by Representative Buchanan.
of Illinois, and eventually when Rae Tan
zer was placed on trial the jury after de-
liberating for sixty-seven hours, dis
agreed. @
In the meantime a man who described
himself as Charles II. Wax, of Boston.
appeared in the office of Osborne, Lamb
& Garvan, of which MIR. Osborne was TIA
senior member, and declared he was tK
"Oliver Osborne who accompanied Miss
Tanner to Plainfield. He repeated his
declaration to Mr.. and Mrs. Osborne and
their son, and then disappeared. Later he
was arrested and identified by scores of
witnesses, many Of them young women,
as a. man who posed as "Oliver Osborne"
In the meantime Miss Tanner had with
drawn her breach OF promise action against
the lawer, and the cases against herself,
the lawyers and the detectives were hang
ing fire until they were quashed in the
federal court yesterday.

THEN DISAPPEARS
Ambrose Small, Canadian The.
atrical Man, Feared to Have
Met Foul Play.

cal and financial circles arc alarmed ove,
the disappearance OF Ambrose Small
wealthy theatrical manager OF Toronto

Mr.. Small deposited on December q
cheque for s1coo.Oco which he received or
account The bank declines to state
whether or not he has since drawn any OF
all OF that amount Previous to deposit
ing tho cheque he had lunch with Mrs.
Small downtown, accompanied her part of
the way home. and, after visiting the
bank, returned to his office, where he

London, who was his legal advisor in the
theatre deal He went out on the street

hope that Mr.. Small might simply have
gone off on business trip to Montreal or
New York, but It is now feared he has
met with foul play or possibly has been
Kidnapped on account OF his wealth. An
other explanation put forward Is that the
strain OF the negotiations for the big deal
may have affected his health and he may
