York and Pennsylvania, has again appeared—this time in Richmond, Va. and a detective from Central Office has been | {hurried there tm the hopes of capturing him. Mrs. Theodore Hagaman-Delabarre, widow of the millionaire bucket-shop operator who died mysteriously at the Waldorf-Astoria soon after Hagaman and Flower formed a sort of partnership, and who later became the wife of Dr. Walter E. Delabarre, a dentist, who has an office at No. 119 West Forty-third street a Richmond, charged with theft. Mrs. Hagaman-Delabarre no longer has the large fortune left to her by her first husband. Flower, it is said, has every cent of it, and there 4s no one who is willing to offer bail for her, Another woman, also arrested hotel trunk robbery, was released on cash bail yesterday. The second woman is now said to be Flower’s wife, and the two are believed to have left Richmond, and despatches to-day give little hope that Flower will be landed, Mrs, Hageman-Delabarre has made | @ full confession to the police of | Richmond. She did not attemot to/ oonceal her {dentity. She told how her) @erested in a business venture about eeven vears ago; how Mr, Hagaman who was reted a millionaire, had die: ‘under circumstances that months later} made the police begin an investiga: | tion, the bellef being that he had been put to death with po!son. Hagaman's ody was disinterred, but it had been Buried too lone for examination, Known as Courtland. In Richmond Flower was known 4s/ Horace R. Courtland. Mrs. Hagaman- Delabarre, in her confession, did not reveal the {dentity of Courtland asthe Notorious Flower, for whom @ reward of %.000 ‘6 offered. ghe 8 to be as much infatuated with the man now as she was when she allowed him to get his clutches on her big estate, and as she was be- fore her husband was taken suddenly il at the Waldorf, Not until the police learned of the relations of Hagaman's widow with Flower did they connect Courtland with the notorious swindler, A photograph | of Flower then convinced them -hat | Flower was the man who had been ar- rested Wednesday at nis home in Rich- mond and who made his escape while | @ detective was sleeping in the next room. | In her confession Mrs, Hagaman- Delabarre said Courtland, she per- sisted in calling Flower, had obtained | from her more than half a million dol- i Theg she sald; at am @mply a pauper. I haven't a cent. I lost my money through trick: ||) ery and deceit.” ‘When the woman known as Mrs. Courtland, but who is sald to be the ‘woman who ran away from Philadelphia with Flower when he left that city, jumping his bail bonds of $23,00), was arraigned yesterday, some one came for- ward with .ash ball for her, and she was released. There is little doubt in the minds of the New York police rae Flower furnished the bonds fur the} woman, Another man who gave his name as Charles Edward Cowrtiand has | been operating with Flower and his women dupes. He claimed to be a brother of Horace Courtland. In Richmond Three Months. Mrs, Hagaman-Delabarre went to Richmond three months ago and took rooms atthe Colonial boarding house at No, 1012 East Marshall street under the name of Mrs. H. F. Lindsey. At the game time Flower, under the name of H. F. Courtland, took quarters at No. 815 East Franklin street with a woman he represented as his wife, Mrs. Haga- man-Delabarre did not leave her rooms, except recently, from the day she reached the city until the police made the raid on Wednesday, but the police of Richmond say thet she was In con- stant communication with Flower. The ‘woman who represented herself as Mrs, Railroad detectives—men in the em- jom the mysterious Courtland aa his fe and the secluded Mrs, Lindsey, here had been a system of ropbery |threugh bogus baggage checks, and | trunks containing valuables had disap- peered in a the strangest sort of way. ing down the various clues the | detectives ound that seven trunks had one to the home of the strange Mrs, » The detectives watched her | house, and one of them learned that |she represented that she was from Wil- |mington, Del.

One of the detectives |e with the girl, and then the whole Fopbine” scheme was exposed. Matilda told the detective how her mistress often showed her a handful; of uncut diamonds, how her trunks were laden with silks and valuables, @ how she never seemed to have ey. The air! also told the detec- that Mrs. Lindsay owed her money es. According to the servant, na Lindsey, was afraid to offer the! vwels for sale, and had subsisted on jay. raid was made on Mrs, | jaman-Delabarre’s apartments — she still known as Mrs, Lindsey—the ‘ives found enough to convince | that the lone, hungry, secluded, ‘appy woman was only the fence the thieves. The woman who called mit Mrs. Courtland was then fol- and arrested, Wee kept under guar@ os his ma IND FLED [Mrs.. Hagaman-Delabarre in Rich- | has gone to Mr. Courtland. Now windler to Whom | er ‘Woman. doctor, mining expert, Wall street nd lives in White Plains, is in jail in in connection with a baggage and home. ‘Then came the belline of the woman and the escape of Flower.

Sne continued ince I have been here I have dis- dof much jewelry and the money: am po penniless. ‘Mr. Courtland was to see me on Monday, He aid net say anything about going away then, and I believe he will come back to me, He often goes away tor a few days, but he al- Ways comes back to me.” Mrs, Hagaman-Delabarre insists the onlyats ol tue trunks in her rooms are her property. Assistant District-Attorney Garvan says he has enough evidence against Flower here to send him to prison for a thousand years, In spite of this fact when Flower was arrested In Phila- delphla {n January, 197, he staved off jextradition “until March’ 16, this year. |He was then out on $2300 ball and skipped wit!) a woman who js supposed to be the one who has just appeared in Richmond with him, Was Hummel’s Client. Mrs. Hagaman and Dr, Delabarre were married on July 1, 192, They sep- arated soon after thir wedding trip. divs, Hagaman-Delabarre’s lawyer was A. 1’, Hummel, who was later disbarred and sent to the penitentiary. Mrs. Hagaman came originally from Easthaven, (Conn, Her name was Frances Lins, (not Lindsey, as she has called herself recently) and sho Was the daughter of the late Charles ley. Her first husband was AVill- jam Smith, a ticket taker in a New Haven theatre. She and Smith were divorced, and she met Hagaman and married him. Hagaman is sald to have been a very devoted husband. His nesting with Flower followed; and| then came his mysterious death, Mrs, Hugaman-De.abarre has figured | for years in the career of Flower. On one occasion when the two were report- ed to be in Mexico together Flower sen: | word to his hundreds of dupes here in| New York that he was anxtous to make | restitution. At the same time it was reported he had a phial of polson which he would take before he would submit to capture, It is sald the woman's money has financed most or all of Flower's schemes, and now that there 1s no more money to be got from her Flower has left her tm jail at Rich- mond while he and the younger woman heve made away together. MOTHER AND CHILD Both Fully Nourished on Grape- Nuts, The value of this famous food {s shown in many ways, in addition to what might be expected from its chemical analysis, Grape-Nuts food is made of whole wheat and barley, is thoroughly baked for many hours and contains all the wholesome ingredients in these cereals, {t contains also the phosphate of potash grown in the grains, which Nature uses to build up brain and nerve cells, Young children require proportion- | ately more of this element because the brain and nervoug system of the child grows so rapldly. | A Virginia motner found the value of Grape-Nuts in not only building! up her own strength but in nourish- ing her baby at the same time, ae writes; “After my baby came I did not re-| cover health and strength, and the doctor said I could not nurse the baby as I did not have nourishment for her, besides I was too weak. “He sald I might try a change of diet and see what that would do, and | recommended Grape-Nuts food, 1] bought a package and used {t regular- | ly. A marked change came over both) baby and I, | “My baby 13 now four months old, is in fine condition, I am nursing her and doing all my work, and never felt better in my life.” “There's a Rea- son,” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
