BRIEF THROWN UP.
1 EX-CONVICT'S DUPLICITY. (By Cable.—Press Assoc) .tion.—Copyright) LONDON, March 4. Hugh Dalrymple, an ex-convict, sued the Baroness yon Gaetz, a wealthy philanthropist and organiser of a farm for discharged prisoners. Dalrymple alleged that he loaned the Baroness money, and produced scores of letters from the Baroness, containing terms of endearment. In a sensational cross-examination, counsel proved that Dalrymple had been convicted of frauds on women in 1896. In order to explain discrepancies in the letters, Dalrymple alleged that a twin brother was responsible. Dalrymplo's counsel then threw up his brief. A verdict was returned for defendant, and the judge ordered to be impounded a hundred letters, which were obvious forgeries. Evidence was given that the Baroness had £40,000 in the bank.
