Theft Not Discovered Until Queen Dora, Heading Procession, Went to Deliver the Dowry. The Westchester, court was crowded with gayly decked and bejeweled gypsies, and looked like a fantastic scene from some ancient time, when the case of Queen Dora Parse, leader of one camp vs. members of a rival camp came upi this Queen Dora asserts that while the rival camps, under a flag of truce, were celebrating a wedding engagement in her camp, someone stole a large bag containing 500 of English gold and bank notes and the gold and silver bridal chains valued at $45,000. Eight members of the rival camp were arrested last night charged with being suspicious persons. The whole story is replete with romance and adventure.

From the scene in the court room there can be no doubt that the rival camps tell the truth when they assert they are wealthy. There were diamonds galore. Until three weeks ago there were three gypsy camp all under one flag and leadership at White Plains road and Pel-bam avenue. Then the camps separated and the Marti camp went under the leadership of Princess Bell Marti; the Kruse-Parse camp under Queen Dora Parse, and the Stanley camp remained In Its old position, under Queen Bess Stanley. While the different bodies had been under tbe single leadership of Queen Bess Stanley, young Prince John Kruse of the Kruse-Parse camp, an admirer of Princess Ethel Stanley of the mother camp, who promised to marry him.

It is customary In tbe gypsy camps to hold a celebration in honor of a wedding engage ment. Accordingly, the festivities were arranged for last night. It was decided to hold the festival in tbe Kruse-Parse camp. King John a dowry to his daughter Ethel was 1500 In English gold and bank notes. The tribe formerly lived in England, and this accounts for the money of that denomination.

'This dowry, including the gift of the Kruse-Parse and the Marti camps, as well as the bridal gifts, were placed in a large leather bag. Among the bridal gifts was the customary gypsy bridal. chain of silver. This Is made to wrap several times around the waist of the bride. There were also some other jewels in the bag, which was placed in one of the tents.

At the end of the festivities the camps formed in single file. They marched Into the tent where the bag was, with Queen Dora leading. It was her place to hand the bag to the bride to There was an uproar when it was learned that the bag with its precious contents had been stolen. Queen Dora settled the matter by going to the Wakefield station house and informing Captain Ward. He, with several of his patrolmen, went to the camp and finally arrested eight of the followers of the Stanley camp, as suspicious persons.

Peter Marti told Captain Ward that he had seen Richard Stanley. 14 years old, in the neighborhood of the tent where the bag was kept several times during the nignt. inis was a violation of tbe camp rules. The result was that Captain Ward arrested the following: King Gustave Stanley, -56 years old; William Stanley. "28 years old; Bird Stanley, 14 years old; Mortimer Stanley, 20 years old; Stephen Stanley, 21 years old; George Ollk.

18 years old; Halsoy Jarden, 18 years old, and Stephen Jarden. 18 years old. When the party' reached court they told Magistrate Walsh of tbe romance of Prince John Kruse and Princess Ethel Stanley. Queen Dora rehearsed the celebration of last nigbt up to the time of tbe robbery. WOMAN AMBULANCE SURGEON.

Staadard Delightful jf Tsble JSfea lweW2rMfiin l.w,,er; I 5 Doctor Testifies That Countess Is Hysterical and Her Charge's Imaginary. ZU EULENBURG ON He Says That Bismarck Hated Him Because He Sided With the Emperor William. Berlin, December 27 The hearing of the Harden-von Moltke, libel suit was resumed here to-dav with oDen doors. The greater part of the morning session was taken up with the testimony of Dr. Frey ef Vienna, who at one time treated Frau von Elbe, the divoroed wife of General Oount Kuno von Moltke.

The wltnesB d' Blared that the former countess was most and that her charges against von mo line were Dasea upon taniasy. Dr. Llman, editor of the Lelpziger Neuste Nachricten, who at one time had rather Intimate relations with Prince von Bismarck and who since the death of the prince had been one of the chief apostles of the Bismarck cult, was then called upon to testify regarding a remark he bad heard Bismarck make concerning Prince Philip zu Eulenburg. This remark played a considerable role in the first Harden trial, when Harden Interpreted It in an equivocal sense as implying a charge of secret vices of an abominable character against zu Eulenburg. Dr.

Li man swore to-day that he understood Bismarck's words to mean simply that zu Eulenburg was responsible for certain po litical occurrences, and that they ton veyed no covert innuendo about vile practices. Bismarck was the first man to use the expression "The Liebenberg round table" as applied to the Irresponsible advisers of the emperor, of whom he considered zu Eulenburg to be the leader. Prince zu Eulenburg. who had come into the court room with the assistance of his two sons, here asked permission to make a statement. This was granted and the prince said he had enjoyed the most trlendlv relations with Blsmarcu uncu the latter broke with the emperor, when their Intercourse ceased entirely.

He had learned from various sources that Bismarck thought he should have made common cause with hLm and with drawn his support from the Emperor when he did. "This for many reasons I did not do," Prince zu Eulenburg con tinued, "and I encountered much hos tillty because of my course. Bismarck's was a volcanic nature, and he was vol canio In his hate. I Btlil think with Joy of the hospitality I enjoyed at Bis marck's table, but with sorrow of the break in our relations. Bismarck complained of the presence of Irresponsible persons In the entourage of the Emperor, but the Emperor had the right to summon who he would." Prince zu Eulenburg often accompanied the Emperor on his Norwegian voyages and hunting excursions as a representative of the foreign office, but he took oath that he had never sought to obtain political influence over His Majesty.

The prince spoke with deep earnestness amid the profound silence of the court. Continuing, he said he had Invited Raymond Lecomte. formerly charge d'affaires of the French Embassy in Berlin, to Llebenburg, at the wish of the Emperor, not with the idea of introducing him surreptitiously to His Majesty. The Introduction would have been the function of the French Ambassador. Prince zu Eulenburg then declared that he not interfered In politics since resigning from the Vienna Embassy In WW.

except at the time of the Morocco difficulty. Being in Berlin at that time and having obtained from M. Lecomte some highly interesting information regarding the feeling at Paris, the prince communicated his news to Chancellor Von Buelow. "This is all I had to do with the Moroccan affair," Zu Eulenburg said. "I never spoke one word to His Majesty about Morocco; Indeed.

I very seldom spoke to him of politics at all, except occasionally during vlBlts to Romentln, the Emperor's hunting lodge on the Rus- sian frontier, I might have referred to some burning question." Owing to the fact that Harden showed signs of extreme weariness the court her adjourned until Monday morning. WOMAN FELL ON STREET. Mrs. Lizzie Smith, thirty-one years of of 493 Butler street, whllo stepping jn the curb yesterday at Fifth avenue and place, fell to the street.

COURT HOUSE WORK RUSHED, Fine Weather Favors Operations on Rebuilt Queens Structure It Will Be a Fine Building. I' The mild weather so far has been very favorable to the work of rebuilding the Queens County Court House, In Long Island City. The side walls were completed some time ago, and the stonecutters have been busy finishing off some the trimmings. That work has also been completed, and now that the reof taking form, a general Idea of what the rehabilitated building is going to look like can be obtained. Nothing but favorable comment is heard.

The new court house, so far as the exterior shows, is far ahead of the old structure. The original building had the appearance of being "squatty," as it looked as if at least one story had sunk down into the earth. There is nothing like that about the court house as It now stands. The number of windows in the side walls has been Increased, and the interior of the building promises to be free from the gloom of the old structure. From what can be learned, the court rooms will also be an Improvement upon the old rooms.

The acoustic properties the main court room were always worse than bad, as it was impossible to hear the witnesses a few feet from where they sat. The new room promises to remedy that drawback, while the smaller rooms will be better arranged and better appointed than the old ones. If the weather continues favorable it expected to have' the structure well advanced toward completion by springtime.

The Naval Reserves started the subscription and have been working day and night ever since to collect the funds and to complete the monument. It will be unveiled with fitting ceremonies on the 9th of January. 1 Admiral Goodrich was selected to make the principal address at the unveiling because he happened to bo in' command of the Pacific squadron to which the Bennington was attached at the time of the disaster. On July 21, 1905, the country was shocked to learn of the' horrible death of sixty-two officers and men of the Navy on the Bennington, caused by the blowing up of that ship's boilers.
