Paragon of Maids
Missing With $4,000
OF Mistress's Gems
Mrs. David Bandler Victim
of sSMarie,'' Perfect Ser
want, Who Is Suspected of
Thefts From Employers

Marie is wonderful French maid,
but she has one serious defect which
makes her worthless to her employers,
the police say. She likes the property
of other persons, especially gittering
gems, too we'll. That is why detectives
are looking for her in connection with
slS or seven robberies of well-to- do
families, involving losses of thousands
OF dollars in money and iewelry.
1t became known yesterday that
Maric's latest victim was Mrs. David
Bandlcr, wife of the vice president of
the Oppenheim, Collins Company, who
lives in an apartment at 545 West
1l1th Street.
The mysterious "Marie"-that is the
only name Mrs. Bandler has been able
to furnish the police~was employed as
a maid by Mrs. Bandler on March H..
Two days later she departed and did
not return. She is said to have taken
with her jewelry and other valuables
worth about $4,000, which had been
concealed in a box in NJ rs. Bandlers
ported to the police Immediately, but
so far none of the plunder has been re-
covered nor have any clews leading to
the whereabouts of the woman been
found.
The maid told Mrs. Bandler that she
had just arrived from France, and that
her passports had been destroyed in a
fire She had no American references,
never having worked here. she said
According to the police, who know her
and Identify her by the fact that she
limps slightly on the right foot and
has several defective front teeth,
Marie" has been in this country for
more than five years and has been op-
Grating along similar lines for at least
that length of time.
Stolen at the Bandler Home
Among the articles were diamond
necklace, string of pearls with a
diamond clasp. a diamond cluster ring
miniature set with picture Of a
member of the family, Russian
enamel pin containing a large black
pearl and five small emeralds and a
platinum bracelet with large san.
phire set in diamonds.

County authorities and told that tho
report was a hoax
1T is stated by the authorities that
a note received by Will Cook, a white
man residing near Covington. signed
by negro. ito look out for the MO
gers and found by Cook on his front
porch, was one basis for the report.
Have Kept Under Cover
=, Since the discovery of the bodies of
killed by Williams and Manning the
negroes in Jasper, Newton and Butts
counties have kept practically under
cover. Only few ventured out to
church on Easter Sunday. There are
no negroes to be seen, except in their
houses, near the so-called peonape-
murder farm and there is none at work
on the Williams farm.
Framed to keep under cover while
trouble is brewing and fearing white
men in this county, it is not believed
lhae the negroes VIII seek reprisal in
any form for the murders.
Governor Dorsey was in telenhone
communication with Jasper County au-
thorities this morning in regard to the
Verdlcts returned yesterday by the
coroner's jury. Each verdict was read
to the Governor. 1t is understood
here that the Chief Executive is plan
ming to take the case against Williams
and Manning out of the hands of the
county authorities and turn it over
to Attorney General Denny.
Owed Campbell $1,000
Citizens of Monticello to-day were
endcavoring to stamp out the talk
about Solicitor General Doyle Camp
bell, of this judicial circuit, having
been unwilling heretofore to make any
investigation into peonagc conditions
existing on the Williams farm because
Williams owed Campbell $4,000, the
loan having been made eighteen months
ago. Prominent men here say Solicitor
Campbell has always been eager to
conduct investiga tions whenever nee
essary.
Williams has stated to his friends
that he never had a nights sleep for
years. 1t has been his usual custom
OF retiring early at night in his "azy
chair" as he terms il, which was To-
Gated in the living roa(m of the house.
prior to the rest of Vie family going
to bed. When they retired he would
get mp and prowl around his property
at night.
WASHINGTON, March 2S.-No re-
port had been received here concerning
the arrest of John Williams, Jasper
County farmer, charged with peonage
and murder, officials at the Department
of Justice said to-day, although agents
of the department have been invcsti-
eating alleged conditions in that sec
tion of Georgia for some time. In the
matter of the murders, it was said,
the state authorities have the crsc
wholly in hand but fear was expressed
that the deaths of the negroes would
materially hamper peonage prosecutions
by the Federal authorities.
officials described the section where
the bodies of the negroes were found
as one OF the worst for .peonage known
to the department and that there. as in
other parts of the country, investira-
ton was difficult because of local feel
ing.
