B The answer of Tiffany and company to the suit of Mrs. D seeks to regain certain . about $100.000, was disclosed Frid the New Yeork supreme court. The firm asserts that it purchased the jewels in question in good from a person representing himself s ‘the duly accredited agent of Mrs, Sul- 1y, and that no attempt was made to regain the jewelry umtil after the lapse of time which estops 1ecovery by the statute of limitations. ! The jewels in question include the following: One marquise diamond ring, one diamond crescent, one diamond bow knot, one diamond necklace, 6ne emerald and diamond, one pearl pen- dant, one emerald and diamond pen- dant. The Tiffanys allege in answer that on November 1904, Richard B. Comstock of Providence, then in con- trol of this jewelry, came to them, rep- resenting himself as agent of Mrs. Sul-. ly, and sold to the firm the gems. The firm made a written agreement with him to permit him to repurchase Tthe jewelry at the same price withia 2 months, but this option was never acted upon. About this time, Tiffany’s explained, Danie] J, Sully came inio the bank- ruptey court and asked for his di; charge. Tiffanys appeared as a cred- ftor for about $110,000 in the bank- Tuptey schedules, The optlon to repurchase the jawels expired on November 29, 1905. As the present action was not brought umtil about six vears later, the firm contends that the action is barred by the stat. ute of limitations. Local Laconics. George E.
