CUTENBERG BIBLE | INJUNCTION ASKED [ |Alleged Vollbehr Agent De- mands Library Purchase Be Halted. The District Supreme Court was asked today to issue an injunction re- straining the Library of Congress from | purchasing the famous Gutenberg | Bible., The suit was filed by Otto M. Stane | fleld, 225 Broadway, New York Cit; who slleges that he was engaged as an agent by Otto H. F. Vollbehr, who came | here from Berlin to negotiate with the Library of Congress for the sale of the Vollbehr collection of incunabula, com- | prising some 3,000 items, together with | the Gutenberg 42-line Bible, known as | the St. Blaslus-St. Paul copy. | Alleges Commission Promise. ‘These books were printed during the Bfteenth century. The plaintiff says that Vollbehr, who is residing temporarily at the Hay- Adams House, agreed to pay him '10 per cent commission of the gross amount recelved for the sale of the collection of incunabula and the Gutenberg Bible. | In pursuance of this agreement, the | plaintiff says, he gave his best services to secure a purchaser for the collection. To this end he used his influence with a committee of the Seventy-first Con- gress, which approved an appropriation of $1,500,000 for the purpose of acquir- ing for the Library of Congress the Voll- behr collection and the Gutenberg Bible. ‘The plaintiff says he is informed and belleves that the Bible and part or all has been delivered to the library and that at least a part of the purchase price has been paid to the defendant. Alleges Refusal to Pay. ‘The defendant, he alleges, has re- fused to pay him any part of his com- | | mission or to account for any of the items figuring in the sale. ‘The plaintiff says he believes that Vollbehr intends quickly to depart from | the United States and from the juris- | diction of this court and thus evade | payment of the commission due him, the amount of which he is unable to determine without an accounting by the defendant. If the defendant leaves the United States, the plaintiff points out, he will remove from the jurisdic- tion of this court the funds received from the sale of the Bible and in- cunabula, upon which the plaintiff claims an equitable lien. Stanfield asks the court to enjoin the defendant from recelving by himself or through any agent any sum from the United States due him from the Library of Congress for the purchase of the Bible and incunabula, and that a re- celver be appointed with authority to demand and receive from the United States any sum due to the defendant and remaining unpaid. Asks Defendant Be Detained. The plaintiff also asks that a writ be issued by the court directing the de- fendant not to leave the United States pending the final adjudication of this case. Attorneys Cooke and Beneman ap- pear for the plaintiff, The Gutenberg HBible, now in the Library of Congress, was one item in the collection of incunabula, or fifteenth century books, purchased this Summer by a congressional appropriation of $1,500,000 from Dr. Otto F, Vollbehr, German collector. The collection con- tained about 1,500 other books, but the | Bible was by far the most valued | object in the collection, No specific | valuation was placed on it. 1L was brought back from Austria this month by Dr. Herbert Putnam, librarian of Congress, who took it over | from a congregation of Benedictine | monks, who had been in continuous possession of it since the fifteenth cen- | tury. | The collection arrived in Washington | last week and librarians announced that as 500n as arrangements could be made the Bible would be placed on exhibi- tion adjacent to the portrait of Guten- berg, presented to the library by Gabriel Wells of New York.

GILLIAM, Btaff Correspondent of The Star, PRINCE FREDERICK, Md., Septem- ber 18.—Ben Lyons, the man that “no two men in Calvert County could han- dle,” died in the hospital here early this morning, after telling police it was three men, two colored and one white, who attacked him early yester- day morning, robbed him and left him lying, his throat cut from ear to ear, in a pool of blood behind the counter | of his store at Owings, Md., 15 miles from here. Lyons, a giant of a man, and one of the best liked in Calvert County, lost a grim battle with death shortly after 3 o'clock this morning, when 100 stitches taken in his throat and bloog transfusions from his brothers, Lance and Joe, failed to save him. Ben's death precipitated Calvert County into one of the most spirited discussions of crime that the com- | munity has known in its history. The police think Ben Lyons killed himself, but they can't find a motive for suicide. Friends Hold to Attack.

Meanwhile police and Ben's friends were scouring the countryside for trace of the men believed to have killed the merchant.
