avenue jeweler to whom a house.
keeper for a wealthy family sold
them.
The jewels were purchased from
the Wanamaker stores in Philadel.
phia and New York by Mrs. Maria
]. Leslie, and charged to her en-
ployer, Mrs. Isaac E. Emerson, wife
Of the head of the Emerson Drug
company. Mrs. Leslie sold them to
Harry Winston, Fifth avenue Jewell
er, for $4,000. They were seized
from him on a writ Of replevin taken
out by Wanamakers, which claims
the jewels have not been paid for
and were bought from the store
without authorization.
Mrs. Leslie for many years
possessed the right to make pur-
chases for the Emerson family on
memorandum and charge accounts.
Her recent jewel purchases were so
large. however, that Wanamakers
became alarmed and cabled Captain
Emerson, now in Europe with Mrs.
Emerson, asking if the purchases
had been authorized. He answered
in the negative.
Attorneys for Winston said the
jewels were purchased by him in
good faith at what he considered a
fair price. Mrs. Leslie, they said,
told Winston that Mrs. Emerson
wanted to raise some money in a
hurry to aid a relative who had lost
heavily at the gaming table and took
that means because she did not want
to ask her husband for funds.
