_ LUAWYER'S LOVE'S TOLD IN LETTERS Now Miss Olga Landsdorff, the Actress, Says She Will Produce Them in Her Breach of Prom- ise Suit. MR. OLDS DECLARES THAT HE WAS JILTED. Since Then He Has Been Mar- ried to a Handsome Widow, Who Is Said to Be His Junior by Thirty Years. A ease on the calendar of the United Biates Cireult Court that attracted more attention than any other called for trial to-day was that of Miss Olga Landsdorff, whose stage name when she was with the Strollers was Olga La Fond, against Franklin Marcellus Olds. . fifty-two years old, for $25,000 for breach of promise. Miss Landsdorff ts sald to be a niece of Baron De Neuville, of the Russian nobility. A feature of tho case ts the love let- ters that Lawyer Olds 1s alleged to hove written the plaintif while she was here and abroad at the time their en- gasement was announced. Mr. Olds's defense is that the plaintife jilted him, He has since marricd another, and the papers ih the present sult were served on him while he was betng married in Lyric Hall to Miss. Agnese Aprille, who comes of a wealthy and respected Itaiian family. Mrs, Olds and the plaintiff in the suit are both beautiful and thirty years the lawyer's juntor. Collector of Art Treasures. Mr. Olds formerly practized law at No. High street. Newark. His first wife left him about $100,000. After her death he travelled a good deal and collected many valuable art treasures, In the fall of 1901 he announced that he was going to seil his library and the art collection, His first wife's rela- tives then had a receiver appointed for the estate. It was about this time that Miss Landsdorft instructed her lawyer to be- gin the present action. In her affidavit she says that she met the defendant at Long Branch in 1899 and that he paid her marked attention and showed a de- cided preference for her company, When she came to this city Olds, according to the complaint, followed her and, in February, 1900, proposed marriage and was accepted. “We agreed,” the complaint s: “to @efer the marriage until I should ‘re- turn from a trip to Europe. He wrote me that he had made his will and had left me everything.” The Telltale Letters, Then follow the letters that M Landsdorff Bays she received from Olds and which aro signed Frank, ‘The first one begins with: “My dear, sweet child,” “I do not want you to I am going this afternoon to see Mr. and Mrs. Ashlon. They are your rela tives and nice people. * * * I am lit- erally’ bursting to talk to some friend who ‘knows of my engagement to marry. ¢ © © Ican't keep it in, I am so lone- some, too, Yesterday my brother called at my office and I told him of my en- gagement.”” The letter concludes by the writer saying that he thinks of Miss Lands- jdorff every hour of the day. It was written three days after the plaintiff sailed for Europe. The next letter be- gins: “My Darling Sweetheart.” and says: “Yesterday I spent most of the time writing to distant friends of my engage- ment.” In the last paragraph of the letter the writer says: “Several times when I told friends here In person of our engagement and of your age they have sald to me that probably I would never see you again; that you would likely marry some younger man over in Europe, &c, Of course, I assured them of your love and loyalty, as indeed I am." On April 20, 1900, the complaint says the defendant wrote: “My Dearest Sweet Olga: I was over- Joyed to receive your usend kuse’ {nares kisses) cable from Wien, and am, golng over, to New York at’ once and says: cold me, but cable a re told you Mout my last will and testament: meas on March 12, 1900, the eo you became twenty-one years of ds {ivered It for safe kee 0 Miss Mar- fret on, of of Valley Bona, tontalait, Ng 1941, he wrot: So Happy, He “My Dear Sweetheart: ‘since last May I dream, and am happy days.

When the Soloist Seemed Un- able to Go On with Her Song She Suddenly Revived and Sang with Marvellous Power. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., March 7—Dr. Richard Strauss, the compo: with his wife, Frau Strauss “be Ahna, will appear in Carnegie Hall, New York, this week and who gave @ concert in the Academy of Music in this city on Saturday night, has be- ccme the subject of mysterious discus- sion that brings into memorable relief the story of Svengall and Trilby. In fact it is etated by those who attended Baturday iilititval ‘chiééere that the composer seemed to exert a wonder! hypnotic influence over his wife at a time wher she seemed almost stricken down by nervous shock and unable to continug with her song. ‘Those who remember the dramatic altuations in Du Maurter's novel will call to mind how ‘Trilby, barely able to totter onto the stage. incapable of singing one clear note, moved under the spell of Svengalt's hypnotism, became ‘aidlant with health and strength and sang with a genius that stirred all Europe, To the great audience that filled the Academy of Music Dr, Strauss seemed to stand in that same role of Svengali, and by his own mag- netic impulse revived the sinking strength of his wife and compelled her. like one revived to a sudden flood of electric vivacity, to finish her song. Revived by Her Hus! Frau Strauss had finished her last song on the programme, “Wiegenlied,” and had been enthusiastically encored. Responding to the call, she eséayed to repeat the verse. Then she suddenly stopped, her face blanched and she seemed to totter as if about to faint, Those who sat near the stage could hear the singer gasp as she pressed her hand to her forehead. Herr Strauss, who had been conduct- ing his wife's accompaniment, was ap- parently Ignorant of his wife's condi- seemed about to drop to the stage, ‘Then swiftly and without any apparent emotion he went to her side and led her to a chair, ‘Then for & moment he bent over her and seemed to whisper a few words. Instantly she rose to her feet, Her husband was still holding her lghtly by the arm, The color rushed back to her face. She straightened up as if her atrength had been renewed. Herr Strauss seemed to be looking intently into her eyes, whil | she returned the glance with a fascl- nated stare, All the while the composer tightly grasped her wrist. ‘This pantomine occupied but a few moments, but it filled audience with a peculiar thrill, Hvery eye watched eagerly the woman whose being seemed transfused with that Dr. Stra passes before hi fact there is w wide variance of opin: jon, the more conservative decia that the composer merely brushed back the hair from his forehi Went On Without Falter! However that may be, Dr, Strauss suddenly signalled to the orchestra, dropped his wife's wrist, and rapidly went to his seat to resume t! aocom- paniment. Then without the slightest falter, as soon as the orchestra struck the preluding chords Frau, Strauss in clear voice Dnished her number With her usual. brlillancy of execution, Her eyes, however, continued to follow every movement of her husband. # soon as this Wiusual acene had end- ed a buzz of wonder ment awep) over the groat audience, and contin: as the spectators tiled out of the house, Ah'thore familar with the We fe latory of Frau Strauss recalled Paullue Do Ahne, daughter ofa Barnre fan General, became the puplt of, 1h’ Groat comphser,, er voice More than medicore. became the bride of Be “Anke 10, say, parte ere Ver renaerivg er husband's co: ‘When Questioned | to-day About this remarkable scene on Saturday night, John H.

Of the bodies taken out vesterday two were identified by relatives. The first was that of Bengi Sont!, a cement worker, twenty-eight years old, of No. 2 Pell street; the second was that of an un{dentified man of about fifty years, five feet five inches tall, with fron-gray hair and mustache.

The discovery of the fourth body came late In the evening. No trace has been found yet of either Pole or Schwandtner, the missing part- ners, who had the contract for the {ron construction work.
