PAPER BORE THE NAME OF JAMES T. COATES. Prisoner Says She Went to His Residence to Oblige “Miss Hughes,” a Stranger Who Called Her Up by Telephone. Mystery In which a conspiracy is al- leged was developed In Jefferson Market Court to-day when Miss Mary Wilson, a trained nurse with an excellent reputa- tion, was arraigned charged with pre- senting a forged order for Jewelry at the store of Tiffany & Co., and later with attempting to carry away a package of Jewelry from the home of James T. Coates, at No. 6 East Fitty-sixth street. ‘he order for the jewelry bore the name of Mr. Coates and was presented at the Jewelry store yesterday, asking that a brooch or pin be given to the bearer to cost not more than $5 or $80, Becoming suspicious, the employees of Tiffany & Co. said that the jewelry would be sent to the Coates home at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. They com- municated with Mr. Coates, who de- clared that the order to which his name Was signed was a forgery. Detectives Frazee and O'Rourke were Sent to the Coates home. Shortly after 2 o'clock a woman appeared ahd asked if a package was there for Miss Hughes. ‘The woman was recognized by the but- ler as Miss Wilson, a nurse who had taken care of Mrs, Coates during a re- cent illness, ‘The nurse was a great favorite in the household, “There isn't anything here yet,” said the butler, “but there may be some- thing later.” Package of Worthless Paper. The package came a few minutes later and was given to Miss Wilson. She opened it and found that it contained only Worthless paper. While she was examining it the detectives stepped for- ward and one of them sald: "You are under arrest." Miss Wilson became hyaterical. She pleaded innocence and sald that she was a@ victim of a conspiracy. “I have been imposed upon by some thief,” she declared. She was led away to the Mercer street police station, where there is a matron, and spent the night in a cell. When she war arraigned to-day her identity be- came known. It was found that she was @. graduate of the Women's Hospital and the Sloane Maternity Hospital in the class of 199% and that her present address is the Women's Mental Science Club, at No. 54 West Thirty-seventh street. She is the daughter of Thomas Wilson, Lieutenant-Colonel in the Cana- dian Militia and formerly a Captain in the English Army. Miss Wilson has gerved as nurse for some of the most prominent families in New York. “This js the greatest sort of a mi: take," declared the prisoner. Rocent of any intentional wrongdoing. she told the Magistrate. “I received a telephone message yesterday from a. woman purporting to be a Miss Hughes, Sh» sald: ‘Won't you please get a pack- age for me at Mrs. Coates's home and bring it to me at the West Twenty-third Street Ferry some time after 8 o'clock. 1am going to Tuxedo with Mrs. Coates and haven't time to get the package my- self. I have heard so much of your kindness that I know you will do this fs me, even though you don’t know me personally,’ + To Oblige a Stranger. “The woman seemed so anxious for mo to oblige her,” continued the pris- oner, “that I did‘so,"” An examination was then made of the order presented to Tiffany's, and it was found to bear the name of Miss Hughes, who was to receive the jewelry on the forged order. At the same time clerks in Tiffany's identified Miss Wilson as the woman who had presented the order, “If they are not the same, they jJooked much alike,” said the witnesses when they were questioned, “Iam in: “I did as the woman requésted me over | the telephone." conunued Miss Wilson, “and my arrest followed. 1 don't know any Mise tughes and am the victim of soine awful conspiracy,” Eugene .\. Philbin, former District-At- torney, was in count to see if something ould not be done to get Miss Wilson out of her trouble, “Lam only/ interested in @ charitable way, ie said. “This womun nursed my aite and we were fond of her. She his always been a good woman ard I am loth to belleve this charge against her." It is believed that the case against Misa Wiison will be dropped. Mr, Coates, who was in court, refused to make this statement in a definite manner, In the court at the time of arraign- ment were a number of employees of de- partment stores who have been robbed by means of forged orders. They scanned Miss Wilson closely, but failed to_Wentify her, Magistrate Deuel held Miss Wilson in $1,000 ‘ball for examination. Not having a Seria the prisoner was committed jail, ae, ANARCHISTS IN PLOTS HELD. mt of Switserland and 8 King Intended Victims, ROME, Nov. 18—The Messagero to- day announced that: three Anarchists had been arrested at Milan in connec- tion with a plot against the life of the President of Switzerland, M.

Jewell, who was forced to resign the $7,000 a year job he had held for twelve years in the United States Board of General Appraisers be- cause of the notoriety his marital troubles had given him, asked Supreme Court Justice Scott to-day to ease off a little on the $150 monthly alimony he had been ordered to pay. His excuse was that he had lost his job. Col. Henry B, Classon presented the application, and, pointing out that all- mony {s gauged by the income or earn- ing capacity of the member of the Alimony Club, declared it to be a bit of impossible financiering which Cel. Jewell ‘was caled upon to perform, that of pay- ‘ing $150 a month to his wife out of a salary of $9.00. The eyes of Louls J. Grant twinkled when he arose to reply. He quoted from aidavits galore to show that Col. Jew- ell had allowed a $13,000 mortgage to be foreciosed on his mansion at No. 453 West One Hundred and Forty-fourth strect, @ house worth $25,000 or more Mr. Grant sald the title now appears in the name of one of Col. Jewel's nephews, a man without means. “Besides,” said the lawyer, "Col. Jewell enjoyed a salary of $7,00 a year for twelve years, and must have saved at least $3,000 a year.” I_ know very few men on a salary of ,o0), a vear in, this town who have Sayed anything.” “Anyway.” resumed Mr. Grant, “Col, Jewell is now a customs lawyer. He Was a first-class hotel man and he has declined a flattering offer to manage a jeadin, otel."* Mr. Classon sald the $25,000 house rent- ed for only $100 a month, and that was the total Income of Col. Jewell. Then he declared the case could be braught to trial in a few days If the issues to be tried could be settled to-day, and in that way it came out that the Colonel had sued for absolute divorce. declaring in his complaint that his wife had been false on varlous occasions from 1892 to 1902, and naming several co-respondents. His wife made counter charges, nam- ing several women. Justice Scott reserved decision. HOW 70 ENJOY LIFE! Veteran Travelling Man's Tale of the Road. Lost Sleep and Business but Learned a Lesson.
