Rode Like an Arab and EX-

Horses, Say Police.
CHECK CAUSES TROUBLE
Accuser Says He Took Change
After Purchases Made With
Worthless Paper.

A man who called himself Francis
s. Gregory. but who the police say is
no other than Count Gregory" a
middle aged, distinguished looking son
of rest who spends about half the time
writing worthless checks and the other
half finding new titles for himself in
the Almanach DE Gotha, was locked
up last night at Police Headquarters
In connection with an alleged slight
irregularity involving $3.50. Gregory.
1t was said by Detectives McGann and
Flaherty of the West Forty
street station, who arrested him yes
terday afternoon at Broadway and
Forty-second street, once was well to
do, associated only with persons
socially prominent and was known
throughout the country as an ex-
hibitor Of blue ribbon horses. At times
he claimed to have been first whip in
the Vanderbilt stables. In those days
he restricted his clothing to the best
the Fifth avenue shops could make,
and INDUCED a weakness for dark red
cravats.
Last night the Count" smiled a really
friendly greeting to the keeper of the
cell block at Headquarters. He wore a
last seasons sailor straw and an old
string tie McGann and Flaherty said
he was out of luck.
The complainant against Count
Gregory" is Emil Hansel, manager Of
an art store at 20 West Forty-eighth
street. Hansel claims that Gregory gave
him check for $3.50 in exchange for a
few art objects on June 6 and took the
change. He charges that the alleged
larceny was repeated several times and
that he woke up soon after he received
notice from his bank that the writer of
the checks had no funds at the Newport
Trust Company. the bank on which they
were drawn.
At Headquarters Gregory showed con-
siderable Indignation. He announced
that he was a gentleman, the victim of
an error and willing to make good i'm
mediately his remittance is delivered
from abroad. But the detectives joshed
him and forced him to laugh, and later
said that he admitted being the Gregory
named on a record card that shows con-
victions for larceny and acting under
false pretences.
Years ago, according to the police,
Gregory circulated story to the effect
that he was a son of one of the titled
families Of Austria. He said his god
father was Prince Rohan of Austria.
Men who knew him intimately prior to
1895. when, the police say. he was first
arrested. said he possessed unusual abil-
fly as a fencer and that he boxed like a
professional ring fighter. Most of the
horse lovers had an opportunity to see
that he rode his mounts like an Arab.
Gregory will be arraigned to-day in
the West Side Court on charge of
grand larceny.

structed a chair that offers
more solid comfort, COM

It's back, which fits the
