BEN FRANKLIN'S
SWORD LOCATED
BY FRENCHMAN
By N. REYNOLDS PACKARD
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

PARIS, Aug. ~. (U.P)-The lost
sword of Benjamin Franklin which
he wore at the courts Of England
and France prior to the war of In
dependence has just been found.
The discovery is due to NJ. Jean
Girodie, curator Of the Blerancourt
Museum.
This sword, considered one of
the rarest of Flankliniana, is being
exhibited for a time at the Galerie
Jean Charpentier where there is
gathered large collection of Re-
volutionary and pre-RevolHtionary
relics of FrancoAmerican interest.
The find was made in the home
of M. Honore Hecquet d'Orval, n
descendant of p. J. G. Cabanis, a
close friend of "Poor Richard. -
The sword had been originally Civ
EN- to Cabanis, and after being
handed down through several gen
erations had become practically for

place.

"Sword which was carried by Ben
Jamin Franklin in the battles fought
in America for the cause Of liberty.
He gave it later TO his friend =. j.
q. Cabanis.' 1t is of full military
length and welded from the finest
Sheffield steel. The hilt is marked
with elaborate carvings.
M. Girodie, the Curator of the
Eleraneourt Museum, when inter
viewed regarding the find, said, 81
believe that Franklin rarely wore
his sword at the court at Louis XVI,
for there he had his pose of Poor
Richard TO maintain. But at the
Court of st. James he wore it con
stantly and my researches seem to
prove that he also wore it after he
returned to America as the inscrip-
tion would seem to show.
Franklin is said to have presen-
ted the sword to Cabanis shortly
after the conclusion OF the treaty
Of peace by which Great Britain
recognized the independence of the
United State of America. The
authenticity of the relic is vouched
for by numerous historians and
museum authorities here.

simple just try puzzling this one
out:
Last March a truck owned by M.
Montoyax, San Jose contractor, and
driven by William Lindwedel, struck
a car driven by Fred f. Stewart,
member of the state board of
equalization. George w. Hickman,
Albany police judge, was in Stew
art s car, which was thrown off the
highway, striking Herbert Spencer,
a. of San jose That was not all
it did. 1t finished its flight by
smashing telephone pole. Stewart,
Hickman and Spencer were injured.
Just when the principals in the
accident thought they were getting
off lucky by only having six people
involved in four damage suits aris'
ing from the collision, along comes
the entire population of California
and files a fifth suit in the super
ior court.
The state government is asking
$1,000 from Montoyax and Lind
wedel for damages to the car, which
was state property.
Judge Hickman is suing for
$57, 100 damages and Stewart for
$5,347 damages, having filed a sult
against Montoyax and Lindwell.
Young Spencer is suing Judge
Hickman and Stewart for $5O,OOO
for his injuries, while the boys faith
er is suing the whole four for $l2lo
for care of the injured boy.
This brings the total amount of
damages sought up to $4,000 in
the freakiest of freak automobile
