With the $238,000 worth of gems hich were xnken by replevin from the safe of Manhattan Jewelers back Wanamaker's store, interest in the mysterious case of buying and selling entered today In whether Mrs. Maria Leslie actually had authomation to ire the credit of her employer, Mrs. I.uac P. Emerson, in making the pur chases. Investigation by the store has un covered the fact that Mrs.

Leslie frequently bought articles on Mrs. Emerson's account before she got the levels. In such cases, however, Mrs Emerson met the bill when It was due In the case of the gems, after the ti ll had been overdue, Wanamaker's received a check for $40,000 from Mrs. Leslie, signed by her and drawn on a Bryn Mawr, bank. Still Refuses to Act.

When the credit department of the' store called up the bank it learned, it was said, that she had only $38,000 on deposit there, and that that was a certified check, payment on which, had been stopped. Harry Winston. he jeweler who purchased the gems rom Mrs. Leslie, had given her that check but had stopped payment when he learned tnat the jewels he Bought had not been in the possession of the Emerson family for several years, as she had told him. The District Attorney's office still refused to take any action, maintaining that the ca.se is befogged in mystery which cannot be wholly cleared away until the Emersons return from Europe.

Until they do return, it will be impossible to prove a crime. It was held.
