COUNTESS
De Benque Woman, Now in
Jail, Charged With Aide,
On Larceny Count

The Countess Grace de
Benque, whose title is alleged
to be as imaginary as her
reputed fortune, was indicted
by the District Grand Jury
today on a charge Of grand
larceny brought by Miss
Louise Maret, of the fashion
able Maret School for Girls.
A similar indictment was
brought against the countess al
legged accomplice, George A. Corn
ley, said by police to have been
involved in the b1ackmail litiga-
ton of Edward D. Dean, senior,
wealthy real estate operator.
Each On Counts
The two were indicted together
on three counts. The first
charges that on October 8, 1881,
they obtained $4,074 from Miss
Maret; the Second that on the
same day they obtained $1,000
from her, and the third, that on
October 9 they were given an ad-
ditional $47O by the schoolmis-
- tresS.
The countess has been in the
District Jail since last week, un-
able to raise $4,000 bond. Corn
ley, whose bond was set at
$4,000, is also in Jail. Countess
de Banque's bond was originally
set at the same figure, but was
Later reduced.
Miss Maret accuses the coun-
tess and Gormley of having
been partners in an extortion
plot which cost her thousands.
According to Miss Maret's
story, Gormley, introduced to her
by her friend" the countess,
took her automobile riding in
Maryland beyond Chevy Chase
Circle.
No Record at Embassy
Gormley, she said, against her
protest, stopped the car and a
man, so far unidentified, came
up and told them they were
under arrest. Gormley, after a
talk with the supposed police.
man, drove Miss Maret to the
countess house on Wyoming
Avenue. The countess told Miss
Maret the officer must be
''bribed" to avert scandal. Miss
Maret gave Gormley $4,000 of
the $4,000 demanded, she says.

knowledge of a Count" de Benque

Last month the countess filed a

McCRORY, Ark, March "a
(UP).-You can start your own

with a cash outlay of $40.
Hundreds of homesteaders -
| many of them formerly city folks
have obtained farms that they
are demonstrating and the cost of
a onc-room log cabin home
comes as low as $3.50, while a
palatial three-room log house
costs $50.
All the actual cash a home
steader needs when he comes to
take over government land in
Woodruff county is $40, but he
must have a little money, of
course, to buy groceries and
seeds until he can grow his own.
Farms up to 100 acres as the
limit can be obtained from the
government by living on them
three years, or they can be
bought outright for a dollar an
acre. All former soldiers are
given the land without donation
fees.

room cabin built for $3.50 out

Or Mr.. and Mrs. jim Houk
have a high-class home costing
them $50 and made out of split
| logs that fit so closely on the in
side that smooth wall is made.
The Houk home has three rooms
and a hall.
Until recently, a homesteader
was required to turn all money
made back on his land. but a
chemical company of Memphis
needed large quantities of a spe-

cohol, charcoal and chemicals and
obtained permission from the
