THAT sWINDLER WAS IN HEE
PRIME.

New York, July 20,-The case Of
Ann O'Dela Diss de Bar. notorious
woman swindler of a generation ago,
was recalled yesterday when Mrs.
Anna Richardson Burkett of Hillsdale,
Ind, pleaded not GUILTY to forging tn
name Of the late Theodore Roosevelt
TO a promissory note for 500 ,000.
She was identified by old court at
taches as formerly employed as a
maid by the old time woman crook,
Assistant District Attorney John I.
Dooling was told that there could be
no doubt about the Identification and
he at once sent for all the records in
the De Bar cases.
Dooling asked for immediate trial
of Mrs. Burkett, but Judge Talley on
petition of Louis Fabricant of the Vol
unteer Defense League, named coun-
sel for the defendant by the court.
postponed the trial until July q.
Mrs. Burkett attempted to collect
the note through the Roosevelt estate.

OF signature the former President was
never known to have used. Reporters
who asked Mrs Burkett how Colo

received the answer He was entitled
to use ii. wasn't he?'
The last records of Ann O'Delia
Diss de Bar, whom Mrs. Burkett is al
legged to have served as maid at one
time, was OF her release on ticket-of-

was stripped OF it in his old age.
The De Bar woman was, in reality,

She travelled about the country,
claiming occult powers and to reveal
hidden truths. While living in Wash
ington Square she met Marsh, who
decided his Madison avenue home to
her, gave her large sums Of money
and installed her in apartments where
she gave public seances.
She was convicted of defrauding
Marsh and served prison term, the
Gerry Society taking the children. On
her release she went to Europe but
returned, and shortly aIterward was
sent to the Illinois penitentiary for
two years, under the name Of Vera p.
