a HOW SS RES ESAPED DUTY 4 $500 000 JNELS Brought Them in Years Ago as a Non-Resident, Then Regis- tered them as a Resident. AND THERE YOU ARE! American Women in London Jealous of Her Recognition by Royalty, Grandfather Says. Taaited States customs officials are! Dusy to-day trying to fieure out just ex- actly how Miss Emilie Grigsby, beauti- ful ward of the late Charles T. Yerkes, managed to sidetrack the American tar- iff on $800,000 worth of jewelry. Miss Grigsby returned from abroad inst night | She brought with her | on the Olympic. enough trinkets to stock a jewelry store, ranging from a crown to @ diamond- studded hairpin. The entire lot paid no duty. And here are the facts, which are as intricately cute as one of Mister George ‘W. Perkins'’s $50,000,000 savings on an fave of securities, and about as puzzling: Several years ago while finishing her education, Miss Grigsby lived in Paris. ‘While there she was given the jew- es. When she came back to America ghe declared the jewels as a non-reai- Gent and got tn free with them. ‘Then she decided to be @ resident of America.

Wien she came bac! night she @leared them free because they had been her property when she went away ident of the country. ‘wor? ‘The legal sharps of the Treasury De- Dartment are trying to find it. In the Mean time it is apparent that $900,000 worth of jewels, which were bought abroad, are now in th's country with- or paying the tax that the Gov- ernment assumes is essential to the Well-being of local commercial interests. Miss Grignby went, dfter a long ex- amination, to “The House of Mystery,” at No. 660 Park avenue. There, in the @eclusion of the palace built by the treet railway magnate, ahe kept secret her plans for the future and her ideas upon kings and queens and titled folk. Mies Grigeby's grandfather, Hamilton Busbee, a New York lawyer, met her. ROYALTY DOESN'T LIKE PUB- LICITY, SAY8 GRANDFATHER. “My granddaughter doesn't wish to talk about her friendship with the Princess,’ Mr. Busbey said to an Eve- ning World reporter, “and if you have been in England much you will under- stand why.

ANGRY AT VERDICT, TOO Scolds Jury in the Case for Declaring Prisoner on Trial Not Guilty. Alexander Karlin, a iawyer, was fined @ for contempt of Court by Judge Swann in the Court of General Bes- sions to-day and paid the fine. The fine was infioted after Karin ‘hed admitted that a witness for @ client he was defending had committed perjary andi he had questioned the right of the Court to commit that witness to the Tombs to await the action of the Grand Jury. Kartin's fine was not the only inct- dent o tthe trial, which brought out amother instance of the disposition of many jurors to hae 7 the eworn testi- mony of a thief in’ preference tu that of a policeman. In this case the pris- ener was William Fincher, thirty-six years old, who hae served six terms in Bing Ging for burgiary. He was arrested on @ Third avenue car by Detective Alexander Cohen on June wy, and in ‘his: possession were found a j!mmy ten inches long and @ big bunch of skeleton keys.

LANDLADY' IDENTIFIES KEYS AS BELONGING TO HER, Fischer's defense was that the jim- my was a cold chisel, and that the keys were some he had picked up. cess in Westminster Abbey—the official court papers show that—and, what is more, she was the only untitled Ameri- can woman there, and certainly the only one there by special invitation of roy- alty. “That, of course, when it became known, caused @ let of jealousy among certain American women who are fight- ing for social recognition over there, and I am sure they caused the vicious reports to be semt over in an attempt to hurt Miss Grigsby with the royal fam- ity.” Pm ehADe Reet CLERGYMEN ARRESTED FOR ILLEGAL MARRIAGES. the ring with the skeleton keys were, he swore, keys to the home of Mrs. Mary Lang at No. 221 Chrystie atreet, where he lived with his wife in a fur- |nished room, He #aid he was employed by Mrs, Lang doing chores about the place, Mrs, Lang went on the stand and corroborated Fischer.

Mr. Karlin promptly admitted that hie Client and Mra. Lang had lied. He ex- plained that Fischer did not wish to let his wife know he was dividing hia time {up n Second avenue with another | woman. The jury retired to consider the evi- dence, Judge Swann called Mrs. Lang before him. She was greatly perturbed. The Court annbunced that he was of a mind to commit Mrs. Lang to the Tombs as the jury might have acquil ted the defendant had her testimony not been cantradicted “If you do,” sald Karttn, aggresatvely, “Tl have her out in five minutes on habeas corpus.” “Are you counsel for this woman?” asked Judge Swann. “Lam not,” repited Karlin. \WDJUDGED THE LAWYER GUILTY OF CONTEMPT OF COURT. “Then,” said Judge Swann, “the Court jedjudges you gullty of contempt com- mitted in its presence and fines you $60. If the fine is not paid, you will be committed to the Tombs for ten days.” The return of the jury interrupted the proceedings. The foreman of the jury waa asked to announce the ver- Ates. “NOT GUILTY! he cried, in a dele lgertn sort of way. Judge Swann gasped. The prisoner famped. Everybody gasped. “Gentlemen,” inquired the Court, “by what process of reasoning did you am tive at thie verdict?” Juror No. 7 said they gave the pris- oner the benefit of a reasonable doubt.
