Mrs. Ida Von Clausen, who threatened former President Roosevelt and United States officials with, a million-dollar suit because she had Been denied pre sentation at the court of the King of Sweden, made application for bail today from her cell in the Tombs, where she is waiting trial for sending a threatening letter. Bail was not fixed and she remained in her cell. "I'm the victim of Charles Strauss' duplicity," she said, "and I'm going to find out just what he means by his treatment of me." Strauss is the lawyer who caused her arrest for promising to shoot him dead. "I have no recollection of writing the letter I am accused of sending Strauss, though I may have done so. At the time the letter was said to have been sent I was in Rome dying of a broken heart. "The real milk of the cocoanut is that my former husband wants me in ,jail. He tried to keep me in an insane asylum. Dead women tell no tales and he is trying to have me put away. I do not want to live for my self, but for my adopted child." o o THE MENDEL BEILIS CASE Kiev, Russia, Oct. 31.

It never was established whether there were 13 or 14 wounds in the temple of Andrew. Experts for tjhe prosecution-' contended there were 13, their idea being that the awl holes were meant for a cabalistic sigjj, by the murderer. Other physicians were sure there were 14 wounds.
