Society Woman
Drops Prosecution
in BIack1nail Attempt

Boston, Nov. 1S.-The indict-
ment against Lester Fogg, alias Ar
thur Lebaron of Quincy, who was
trapped in a Boston hotel recently
after he had demanded $4,000 from
Mrs. Nathaniel H. Emmons, wealthy
package of letters, has been mol
pressed 1t became known today. All
the written evidence in the case has
been destroyed, 1t was learned.
On Friday Mrs. Emmons and her
e1awyer saw District Attorney
O'Brien and said they had decided to
drop the case. Thomas c. Greed,
attorney for .Fogg, was sent for and
he agreed to surrender the letters
for destruction in return for the
dropping of the case.
The case against Fogg, with Mrs.
Emmons as complainant, had been
continued until January z. The let
tiers, which the defense claimed were
written by Mrs. Emmons were de-
stroyed by the District Attorney I'M
read, he said.
District Attorney O'Brien said to-
night that Mrs. Emmons asked that
the case be dropped because of the
defendants physical condition and
her belief that he had suffered
enough. The district attorney said
that he had made inquiries and
found that Fogg's physical condition
was bad and that he had been forced
to sell his home and much property
since the charges were preferred
against him.
Mrs. Emmons informed the author
tiles at the time of Fogg's arrest
that she first met him while engaged
in war welfare work. She has been
known as 1.-THE angel of the twenty
sixth" division. The letters in
question were said by the defense
to have been written by Mrs. EN-
mons to soldier in the Yankee
Division and to be of such a nature
as to make it important to the writer
that they be suppressed.
The authorities were informed that
Fogg's alleged blackmail attempt
was one of a series of attempted ex-
tortions of amounts as high as 5000
600 by gang of which Mrs. Emmons
accused Fogg of being a member.

New York, Feb. 3.-Johnny Dusdee,
worlds champion at $50 pounds, de-
feated Elmo Flores, Filipino lightweight,
in a fifteen-round title contest Friday
night at Madison Square Garden, re-
ceiying the judges decision. Flores bare
ly escaped knockout, going to the
canvas for the count of nine four times
in the last three rounds. Flores went
down the first time in the early part
of the thirteenth round, being caught
on the chin with a short right hook.
Arising, he staggered about Dundee for
few seconds and was dropped again
under a barrage to the body. He then
evaded Dundee until the round ended.
In the fourteenth, Flores was battered
from one corner 10 another, but man
aged TO stay on his feet. He took two
counts Of nine in the fifteenth, one from
n right to the Jaw, and again from a
left uppercut. His knees were near
the floor when the contest ended. Ear
lier rounds were slowly fought. Flores,
though the aggreSsOr, could not reach
the Italian veteran effectively. Flores
