Mrs. Smythe Asking $780,

Tells OF Persecution

Four stolen kisses, each valued
at $4,000, and aNrsreat big besr
hug" alleged to have been adj
ministered to her by Leighton
Taylor, aide to the late Senator
Penrose, when she called on him
on May /, 1921, were but the
beginning of no end of trouble
for pretty Mrs. Alma c. Smythe,
formerly Of Washington and now
residing in Alexandria, according
to her story in court today.
In police court in Virginia's Lit
tie Reno" today. Mrs. Smythe de-
clared that operatives Of the u. 8.
Department Of Justice were trying
to prevent her appearance in Wash.

suit il scheduled to come up for a
preliminary hearing In the District
Supreme Court. where Mrs. Smythe,
the accuser. and Leighton Taylor
the accused, will face each other for
the first time in court.
According to the pretty red-haired
woman, whose face and figure are
decidedly comely, since the filing OF
the suit she has been "hounded" by
operatives of the Department Of Jus
tice and others, who have ap
preached her with offers and threats
unless the suit against Taylor is
dropped.
These advances" she testified
in Little Reno's" police court this
morning, eliminated last night when
Charles E. Petty. living at Queen
and Fairfax streets. approached her
on King street.
According to testimony, Petty
walked close beside her, lifted his
hat, and murmured sweet endear-
ments.
Mrs. Smythe returned the smile
and, walking a step or two in sd-
vance OF Petty, went down King
street to Cameron. where she
turned into a garage. She then
turned to Petty and demanded that
he inform her who he was, at the
same time calling for the police,
and asking two mechanics to detain
Petty until she could get the police.
Petty is alleged to have replied
that he was minding his own busi-
ness. when the mechanics came to
her assistance.

at the point of revolver until he
was taken into custody.
In Police Court Petty denied Mrs.
Smythe's allegations OF advances"
and demanded a jury trial. Sugges-
tions that the charges be dropped
were protested by Mrs. Smythe,
who related a chain of circum.
stances which she alleges are at.
