Says Handsome Mrs. Robinson Laid Trap for Indian Prince
LONDON, Nov. 25—Handsome Mrs. Maude Robinson laid the trap thru which an Indian prince was found in her arms in a Paris hotel room. Montague Noel Newton, confessed blackmaller, testified this afternoon in admitting his part in the plot by which $750,000 was extorted from the eastern potentate. It was at her invitation, the witness said, that he burst into her room, impersonated her husband and caused the prince to pay hush money.
Newton festified that Mrs. Robinson invited him in Nov. 1924 shortly after she met the prince, whose identity the court is hiding under the designation of "Mr. A." to confer with her. She told him, Newton said, that the money was to be wrung from "Mr. A" by having him discovered taking liberties with her.
The witness said he agreed to play the part of the husband in the discovery and that it was agreed between them that the proceeds of the blackmailing would be shared between Mrs. Robinson himself, Mrs. Lillian Bevah, Mrs. Robinson's beautiful branite companion; and the side de camp Britain appointed to the prince. This side's name being kept out of the testimony, as is the prince's, "for reasons of state."
Newton's appearance in court was a surprise. He had been reported a fugitive from England, lately roaming about Ching. He was the first witness called by the Midland Bank, which Mrs. Robinson bookmaker husband, Chas. Ernest Robinson, is suing for $625,000, charging that the bank received from "Mr. A" for Robinson, then negligently paying it out to other persons who presented forged checks. The $625,000, Robinson alleges, was a part of the $750,000 the Maharajah's son paid as the price for his love affair, which Mrs. Robinson admits.
In summoning Newton, the bank announced it paid him $15,000 for his testimony.
Newton indicated that the blackmail plot had originated with the side de camp, who was dissatisfied with his post because the potentate was meant to him.
The witness declared the alde told him "Mr. A" had $3,000,000 "lying loose in India."
Newton then was handed a pad and pencil to write the answers to scribbled questions put to him regarding the intimacies between "Mr. A" and Mrs. Robinson. This nicety was adopted to spare the feelings of Mrs.
DIRIGIBLE ON CHRISTENING JOURNEY
(Lloyd Lehrbas, International News Service staff correspondent, who wrote the following story, was a passenger on board; the Z. R-3 on its trip today from Lakehurst, N.J., to Washington, where she was to be christened the "Los Angeles" by Mrs. Calvin Coolidge).
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25—Swimming leisurely along in a leaden sky, the dirigible Z. R-3 recently acquired from Germany, arrived in the national capital today for her baptismal ceremonies which will complete her formal transfer to the American government.
The big ship hove in sight off Bolling Field shortly before 1 p.m. nearly four hours after her departure from Lakehurst, N.J., this morning.
Thousands of people craned their necks in the streets and from office windows to see the great fish shaped vessel approach Bolling Field, where the christening ceremonies will take place this afternoon. Mrs. Coolidge will christen the ship and officially bestow upon it the name "Los Angeles."
It was shortly before 1 p.m. when the watchers at Bolling Field raised the yell "there she is" the small army of mechanics and soldiers immediately got busy with ground arrangements to bring the big ship to her mooring mast.
The Los Angeles took a leisurely route down from her New Jersey hangar. The helium with which she was inflated also cut down her speed some. Philadelphia passed at 9:50, Baltimore at 11:52. About 40 miles an hour was made between Baltimore and the capital just the speed that the track trains make.
The navigators set the ship directly for Bolling Field. At one o'clock she poised directly over the field at a height of about 2000 feet.
After loafing above the field, for a few minutes, the nose of the dirigible swung northwest and she floated off to give the capital residents a chance to see her. SheMore Than Twice Her Names Needed on Petition File

With such organized effort resorted to by the U.S.A.lengthy canvass, it was on today more than 2000 names have been obtained.
Moreover, proponents petition did not file all tatures, limiting the petition 777.

NEWTON indicated that the blackmail plot had originated with the side de camp, who was dissatisfied with his post because the potentate was mean to him.
The witness declared the alde told him "Mr. A." had $3,000,000 "lying loose in India."
Newton then was handed a pad and pencil to write the answers to scribbled questions put to him regarding the intimacies between "Mr. A" and Mrs. Robinson. This nicety was adopted to spare the feelings of Mrs. Robinson, who was assisted from court on the verge of collapse.
In his written replies, Newton corroborated testimony concerning the alleged practice between Mrs. Robinson and Mrs. Bevan, who Mrs. Robinson said accepted the attentions of "Mr. A's" colored secretary, of the strange eastern rites demanded of women who accepted the attentions of men of superior station.
Newton said he was invited to play the part of the husband because Robinson did not look like the husband of a society woman. Originally, the witness said it was intended that the potentate should be surprised with Mrs. Robinson, in a London house, latchkey he got from Robinson.
Frequently, he testified, he conferred with Robinson about the plans. Meanwhile Mrs. Robinson was giving him frequent reports, he said, on the progress of her affair with "Mr. A."
"She told me," Newton said, "that he was getting very keen. The more she put him off the keener he got."
Then she told me at last it had happened."
Newton was instructed to tell what had happened and for this purpose paper and pencil were again used. He scribbled away busily for a time until Lord Justice Darling said:
"Write it briefly."
It's difficult to tell it briefly." Newton returned.
DONDON, Nov. 25.—Technical evidence understood to deal with strange rites of oriental women, entered England's $750,000 black-mail case today.

The navigators set the ship directly for Bolling Field. At one o'clock she poised directly over the field at a height of about 2000 feet.
After loafing above the field, for a few minutes, the nose of the dirigible was swung northwest and she floated off to give the capital residents a chance to see her. She passed over the capitol the White House and various governmental departments before swinging again back to the field. Orders were signaled up to the ship from the ground for her not to make a landing until shortly before the ceremonies to begin at 3 o'clock. This allowed a cruise of nearly two hours above the city and near by Maryland and Virginia towas and permitted a further demonstration of the smoothness with which she was being handled by her American crew in her first trip under their control.
LAKEHURST, N. J., Nov. 25.—The Z. R.-3 slipped away from its mooring mast on its christening journey to Washington at 9:05 a.m. today. The big dirigible faced a 20-mile an hour wind for its southern trip but Commander Jas. R. Klein said he expected to maintain an average speed of 50 miles an hour along the southeastern course, which lay over Trenton, Camden, Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore.
A light bluish haze lay over the home field as the dirigible started on its first American-manned trip. On the sides of the huge aircruiser, in red, white and blue letters, shone its new name, "Los Angeles," by which it will be known after its christening by Mrs. Calvin Coolidge.
Red, white and green lights on the gondolas and at the portholes also gleamed like jewels thru the rapidly lighting fog as the dirigible sled away.

"From Portland, Me., to Portland, Ore., and from Milwaukee to New Orleans, these goods, the best in their lines, bring exactly the same prices. And the value is in them and they are always reliable.

H. J. Webster of Alburgh, Vt., who is called the champion turkey-raiser of the country, is showing one of the prize birds of the huge lot he will send to holiday dinner-tables.
WELL KNOWN MAN SOUGHT AS FORGER
Business friends of H. Z. Johnson, 45, of Santa Ana, who has been selling tractors in all parts of Orange-co. the last two years, were shocked to learn today that the authorities were seeking him on a charge of forgery, and that he has been missing more than a week. At the same time an alleged clever plot to obtain money was revealed by sheriff's deputies, who are working on the case.
Residing in Santa Ana with Mrs. Johnson for more than two years, Johnson established a substantial bank account with a bank there and to all who knew him his dealings seemed far above reproach.
He presented a check at the bank for $11,265, payable from the account of a San Francisco man. His employer in Los Angeles, E. H. Crookes, went to a Los Angeles bank to identify him so he could cash a cashier's check for $8600. The money was obtained, Crooke was paid $1800 on a prior debt, and Johnson pocketed the balance. The foregoing asserted facts are alleged by Santa Ana bank officials and authorities working on the case.
Unknown to Mrs. Johnson, her husband is a former Folsom prisoner, sentenced there from Freeson on a charge of forgery in 1912. Records at the sheriff's office disclosed this fact. Mrs. Johnson is aiding the authorities in their hunt. A reward of $100 is offered for the man's capture. The bank, it was explained, will not lose, as its account has been insured.
Orange-co authorities today spread a dragnet extending from Los Angeles to San Diego into its effort to apprehend the slayer or slayers of Archie Haverstick, contractor's foreman of Los Angeles, whose killing has brought to light asserted relations of free love and a trail of broken hearts.
Investigation of the scene of the tragedy on the beach two miles below Serna, brought to light late yesterday the fact that Haverstick apparently was slain on the sand, but a motive yet has to be found.
At an inquest held by Coroner Charles D. Brown, at Winbigler's chapel at Santa Ana, it was disclosed the man, 27, had been struck on the head with a soft weapon before he was finally killed. Murder, with unknown parties wielding the gun, was the verdict of the jurors.
Search was continued today for Elmer Christensen, said to be a sailor on the U.S. S. Arctic, with whose wife Havrestick apparently became enarmoured. A son three, according to a document, witnessed by notary public, that is at the sheriff's office, was born to Haverstick and Mrs. Christenson. Agreement to give custody of the babe to Haverstick's sister was contained in the agreement.
In Los Angeles, however, Mrs. Alice Tate, admittedly the flame of Haverstick and mother of his two-months' old babe, has been unable to shed light on the many night trips her sweetheart was accustomed to take. These officers at Santa Ana hope to clear up from Christensen and Fred Tate, a gas worker and divorced husband of Alice Tate. That Haverstick
Ceremony Performed At Guaymas, Mexico, Early Today
NOGALES, Ariz., Nov. 25.
Chares Spencer Chaplin, the movie comedian, and Miss Lita Grey, his leading woman, were married at Empalme, a suburb of Guaymas, Mexico, this morning at 6:30 o'clock, according to International News Service dispatches here today.
The ceremony was performed by Judge Antonio Haro and was witnessed only by Mexican merchants from Guaymas and Mrs. Lillian Spicer, the bride's mother.
Francisco Esqueda and Rogue Kamirez were the witnesses for Chaplin, Angel Murillo and Francisco Monge of Empalme, acted as witnesses for the bride.
Immediately after the ceremony the bridal party climbed into automobiles and drove from Empalme to Guaymas. Chaplin surrounded by his Mexican friends who attended the wedding, denied himself to all interviewers. The comedian parked his car in front of the postoffice at Guaymas and then went to his hotel where a suite had been engaged for him.
Miss Grey was attended by her mother, Mrs. Lillian Spicer, of Los Angeles, and a Mrs. McDonald, a friend of the bride, residing in Hollywood, who accompanied Chaplin here.
The greatest secrecy was maintained about the honeymoon plans of Mr. and Mrs. Chaplin. They refused to be seen by Interviewers.
However, it was reported the actor and his bride would leave immediately for an ocean trip, sailing from Guaymas.
According to unconfirmed reports from Guaymas, this was the second time that Chaplin and Miss Grey went to the Mexican city to be married. Early in October they were said to have visited Guaymas and all plans were made for the ceremony, even to obtaining the marriage license. Strict regulations in Mexico relating to marriage, however, including publication of the names of the contracting parties 30 days prior to marriage, were said to have frustrated the original plans for the comedian's wedding.
Accompanied by his Japanese servent Chaplin arrived at Guaymas which is situated on the west coast of Mexico; 300 miles from Nogales, at 3 o'clock this morning. He immediately went to a hotel and retired but after a short map proceeded by auto Empalme where he was met by Miss Grey, her mother, and the wedding witnesses.
At 6:30 o'clock Judge Haro performed the civil ceremony, the entire wedding party leaving shortly after the ceremony for Guaymas.
LEMONS HIT $9
The descending market at the season's close doesn't apply to lemons, which reached $9.00 yesterday on the New York auction market, about as high a mark as at any time the last season. Several prices well above $8.00 also were recorded.
