Widow Vast Cheated, SheSays;
Then Found and Kept LeweI
Mrs. ]. c. Gleason in Court With Extremely Long
Face; Pawns Platinum Wrist Watch for Bail Oh
Charge of Stealing Poker Hostess's $3.50 Pin

Mrs. J. C. Gleason, who is said to be
the widow of a Chicago broker, was
arraigned yesterday in the West Side
police court wearing a blue serge suit
trimmed with red beads, a polo coat,
French shoes, a patent leather hat with
a red lisere straw brim and an ex-
tremely long face.
She is charged with the theft of a
diamond par pin valued at $1,75O from
Mrs. Chester Curry, her hostess at a
feminine poker party at 229 West Sew
enty-eighth Street on the night of May
a.. She entered a dismal plea Of not
guilty and turned in her platinum wrist
watch, to be pawned so hat a surety
company would furnish the Sc, 900 bail
demanded. Her features did not con-
tract even when the threat that the
names of all the poker players would
become public was carried out.
This was done indirectly through
the testimony of Charles P. Leonard
of the Aetna Insurance Company. Mr..
Leonard said that he found Mrs. Glea-
son, her mother, Mrs. Alice Round
tree end the diamond bar pin in At
lantic City and that Mrs. Roundtree
had told him the names of the men,
bers of the poker circle.
Wife of Actor Named
They were, he said, Mrs. Olga Hill
lard. wife of Robert billiard. the
actor; Mrs. Francis Jacobs. of 562
West End Avenue; Mrs. Robert Burns,
of 255 West End Avenue; Mrs. Boyn-
ton R.. Robinson, of IS Riverside
Drive; Mrs. Otto B. Presbury, of 317
West Eighty-third Street; Mrs. Emmy
Hayes, of 255 West End Avenue; Mrs.
Edward p. Bowles, of 257 West Eighty
seventh Street, and Mrs. Grace B:
Clark, of 246 West End Avenue.
Mrs. Gleason told me-" Mr.. leonard
continued, that she had found the pin
on the floor and was tempted to keep
it because she had been losing that
night and felt she had been cheated"
Mrs. Gleason's rueful countenance
became even more lugubrious and she
sought to shelter it beneath the red
lisere straw brim of her patent
leather hat, while her attorney, l. T..
Flatto, bounced upon the word 'cheat."
Odd she say which of the women
had cheated herr" he demanded.

of the formalities of the
winter and does everything
it can think of-and there
are a great many things
to make your summer sea-
son a success. 1t makes a
thorough study of the char
acter of summer houses, and
just what their smartest
needs seem to be this sea-
son, and then collects a thou
sand and one charming and

Mrs. Gleason's post-mortem of The
game had not gone into such details,
according to Leonard who resumed
his tale, saying:
81 got her to come with me to New
York. She said she would make resti-
tutor if l would promise not to tell
Mrs. Clark or her mother. said 1
wouldn't and promised to say that I'd
found the pin"
When, after the hearing, Mrs. Glea-
son was on her way to her suite in the
Hotel Pennsylvania, she said Mrs.
Clark and her mother were among her
closest friends in New York and reit-
Grated her alleged statement concern
ing the impulse leading her to help
herself to the diamond bar pin.
81 found it on the floor" she said,
"and just thought I'd keep it because
I'd been cheated"
She still found it incredible that the
widow of a Chicago broker could lose
extensively and legitimately when
playing poker with women living on
West End Avenue, Riverside Drive and
the West Eighties.
Remarked and Divorced
Since the death of the Chicago
broker, she said, she had been married
Y q bOio s0iCoihNi oiiN " 'i't
Sheer and divorced. Under the terms
oil the late Mr.. Glcason's will, it is
said, she was to receive 100000 asyear
so long as she remained single, and
half that sum if she married again.
Mrs. Curry declared in the police
court that before the poker game start
ed she had invited her friends into her
room to see some flowers her husband
had given her. Mrs. Gleason was not
invited to the poker party, she said, but
was there and went with the others
into the bedroom, where the diamond
bar pin was in plain sight Later, she
asserted, Mrs. Gleason had gone into
the bedroom alone, ostensibly to renew
the powder which her nose had alb
sorbed in the stress of the game, and
it was after that that the pin was
missed. She recalled that when Mrs.
Gleason had asked permission to
powder her nose, she had told her:
Go right ahead and take what you
want" '
Mrs. Gleason was arrested at the
Pennsylvania Hotel ON Wednesday
evening and passed the night in jail.

not know Henry and had never met
him on that date.
Henry declared that he had met Denis
j. Quinn in March, 1918, at the corner
of Seventy-second Street and Broad
way at Quinn's request through Joseph
Hayman, a gambler. He said that he
had TIED to find Hayman to have INN
testify as to that meeting, but no one
knows where Hayman is. Quinn, who
fed Wednesday that he had not met
Henry on the occasion mentioned and
had never met him and did not know
him.
Henry explained hat after each
meeting with Smith and the one with
Quinn he would reduce to notes the
substance Of the conversation that
took place and would the next day
make a report to Commissioner of To-
lice Enright. who later ordered him to
put his memoranda in the form of afi-
davits. According to Henry he went to
his lawyer on March s, 1918, and die
tated two afidavits of his first two
meetings with Smith, which he gave to
Commissioner Enright.
Commissioner Enright, who preceded
Henry or the stand as a witness for
the defense, corroborated this part of
Henry's testimony. In answer 20 MI.
COCHRAN questions: DO you remember
a conversation with the defendant rela-
tive to a meeting he had with AS
sistant District Attorney James E.
Smith on February Q, 1872" his reply
was yes"
Lieutenant James Keenan,, now of the
73d Precinct, said that he knew ally
man, the gambler, and that he saw
Henry, Haynan and a third mar on the
southeast corner of Seventy-second
Street and Broadway one afternoon in
March, 1918, and that Hayman left
them.
DO you know who that third man
was?" asked William Murphy, of coun-
sci for Henry.
~ do now" replied keenan,, 81 saw
him in court here yesterday"
"Who was he ?"
"Dernis Quinn"
A number of character witnesses
were called by the defense. All said
Henry's character was Of the highest.

The roads between this city and
Philadelphia have suffered so much
from greatly increased truck traffic due
to railroad labor difficulties that the
Bureau Of Tours Of the Automobile
Club of America advises against the
use of any of the more direct automo-
bile routes by pleasure tourists.
The best route between the two
cities for any kind of motoT traffic is
that by way of keyport, Long Branch,
Point Pleasant and Lakewood, thence
to Philadelphia. This is the longer
road of the five, but is to. be preferred
by tourists.
In addition to the damaged surface
conditions of the more popular routes,
the unfinished stretch OF road near
Franklin Park on the Lincoln Highway
offers further impeachment.
Constantly increasing truck traffic on
all main roads, automobile men be-
lleve, makes imperative the construc-
ton of heavier, more substantial
Dads. Increased registration fees and
weight restrictions to- protect the road
surfaces are felt to be only makeshift
remedies for a situation that actually
requires better, and therefore more ex-
rensive, roads.
Another detour on the short New
York-Delaware Gap road can be made
Via Monroe and Lafayette from Frank
I'm Furnace. This detour obviates the
northern detour via Sussex. Tourists
using the long route via Goshen and
Port Jarvis are advised that tt.
stretch between Port Jervis and Mil
ford is still under construction and
can be travelled only at night-using
the completed center-or in the morn
ing before work on the road com
menceS.
The Observation-Disclosures road in Or
ange County is not open because OF
construction work. A good parallel de-
Newburgh.
The Sullivan County-Liberty-Wo Wood
bourne road is under construction.
Through travel should detour via Has
brouck and Loeb ~Shcldrake over &C. "
earth roads. The Forestburg-Orange
County line also is under construction.
There Is a good detour over a parallel
road.
The Rye Village dctour in Westches-
ter County is in bad condition,
In Ulster County between Kingston
and Collenville south of K~erhonkson
the road is passable but dangerous.
owing TO slide and failure of a town
bridge.
OF the Adirondack routes the
Graphite-Hague road is under CON
struction and traffic should avoid it.
There is no detour.

Sweater Boxes

So many people have
asked US for boxes in
which sweaters may be
placed, since they cannot be
hung up without disastrous
results to their general con-
tours. Rather good-sized
oval wooden boxes, hand
decorated, are copied from
old Dutch boxes and may be
put conveniently in the hall
or the living room and even
add a note of interest;
price $40.
Painted tole cigarette sets

inexpensive. The set con-
sists of a tray, a box for
cigarettes, a matchbox and

applied Directoire prints
and lacquered; price $40
