The text of Mme. Vonsiatsky's complaint to the AttOrney-Qeneral of the United States, which was obtained to-night by The New York Herald correspondent, says: "I, the undersigned, Mme. Liobouv Mouromsky Vonslatsky, have the honor to expose to you the following facts: On the 31st of January, 1920, I contracted a marriage with Anastase Andrei vitch Vonslatsky before the High Priest Nicola Vladlmirskl In the Cathedral of Yalta in the Crimea, and In the presenoe of four witnesses.

Leigh said that fie had promised Beau1 vais that he would not tell any one thai I the letters had been sold, but that hf ; would say they were four of a package ' stolen from the guide some time before The sale of the papers took place lr May of last year, according to the witness. Leigh said that he and Johnson wenl to Montreal on May 6 and saw Beauvais in a Childs restaurant there the next day. He said that on May 9 he was introduced to Beauvais on the second Hoot of the transportation building in St James street, Montreal. "What did Beauvais do?" asked Col i William Rand of counsel for Stlllmari. "He took some papers from the inside ! pocket of liis coat." | "What were the papers?" The witness replied that they wen exhibits 82, 83, 84 and 83, the four letters which were introduced yesterday as having been written by Mrs. Stilimaii tt Beauvais. Leigh said that he lookec over the letters and returned them t< Beauvais. "What happened to them after that?' he was asked. "Beauvais gave them to Shr.ahan ant Sheahan gave them to Mr. Homey," th? witness said. Judge Mills took up the Questioning at this point and asked Leigh who h< saw before he w<nt to Canada: JLeig: replied that he had seen Mr. Horsey if the office of Nlcoll, Venable, Fuller K Sullivan, and that Mr. Horsey had tolc him to go to Montreal with Sheahan and get certain letters if he thought they were worth getting. "Did he mention any mmcy?" asked Judge Mills. "Yes," said Leigh, "he said that the> would be worth $5,000." "Was that the highest amount named ?" "No. Later he said that from $5,00( to $10,000 would be paid, it 1 though! they were worth it." Meet Inn- Held in Kits Hotel. Leigh then told of hi* Jcr.rney t< Montreal and of meeting Khtaban in thi i?tucr h ruuui ni uic jail* l*vai. "I did not know It at the time," hi said, "but I found out afterward tha Heauvais was in a closet listening t( what was said. ?Sheahan said that hi | thought I could ouy letters from Beau | vals for Mrs. Stillman for $25,000. ! said I couldn't pay that, but that ! | would like to see copies of the letters I That's all there was to this conversa i tion. ' "The next day Sheahan saw me a i the Ritz, in my room, and said tha j Beauvais wanted $25,000 for the letters : I saw him at 12 o'clock that night am ! he assured me that at 9 o'clock th I next morning Beauvais would havi | copies of the letters.

Leigh said that Sheahan showed hir I copies of another letter, which was en ! dearlng and poetical, and later took t | his hotel copies of three more letters. "Jimmy said he went to a safe deposl I li _.i?u enlri Mm u-llnto "and saw more litter*, but that the 11ml of Beauvis'e patience had been reache and he could not hold him.

"When Sheaban came back later h i brought copies of the three other letter that you have there nntt said that Beau vats was awfully nervous, and unless w< gave him $25,000 it was all off.

"I spoke to him of a copy of the thlri letter, the 'broken flower' letter, am was told to wait, there until he callei | back. I told him that the letters wen not worth $25,000 and that In my opinio: Beouvals would take less. "Horsey told me he would take th 1 express to Montreal and that I shouli meet him on his arrival. Then 1 talked to Sheahan and told him tha $25,000 would not be paid. He sali ! that he had Just left Beauvals and pu him to bed. I met Horsey the nex morning. We went to my room am Sheahan phoned rne that the matter wa all closed." FIvndezvoiiH In Side Street. Leigh next told of meeting Sheaha and Beauvals In a side street an Sheahan told him he had had n bn t me with Beauvals, who did not trus any one and was fearful of being ar rested. Sheahan told Leigh, accordtn to the witness, thnt he must not mak any move that would warn Beauval or give him the idea that he had an; other motive than to buy the letter? Sheahan tried to induce them to go t< a. roadhouse to exchange the letter as two men were passing up and down tut Beauvals refused to go and lnslstei 1 on finishing up there. The next meeting appears to havi been in the transportation building where Leigh says Beauvals sntd to him "I notice you are covered. I have beet a detective myself." "I said I had $15,000," Leigh went on "and you have eight letters written t< you by Mrs. Stlllman. He said he hai only four and wnnted $25,000. He sal' i he would not sell them unless I agrec< i to tell tills story, that they had beei stolen. He snlil that Mrs. Btillman'e nt ; torneys knew that a pecknRe of letter ; hart been rifled anil that I should sni i that these letters were taken from tha ; package." "Then you lied to Bcauvala?" he wa asked. j ' its," said Leigh. "I lied to Beau : vais to Ret the letters." "You would have told any tie to Re ! the letters?" "Yes, to a man of the character o : Benuva's." "What else did Beattvals say?" "tie wanted me to Rive him the irione; and I would not. I counted it In hi: I presence and he said it was merited !

SATURDAY, MAY 13, ZEPPELIN COMPANY FIGHTS D. S. DEAL Schuette Institutes Libel Ac tion for Uliarges of Nellm? Out Secrets. Berlin. May 12 (Associated Press). ?An action alleging libel hag been instituted by Prof. Johann Schuette of the Scluiette-Dauz Airship Company against the Zeppelin Company. The Zeppelin concern is said openly to have insinuated that Prof. Schuette's agreement with the General Air Service nf America probably would ,revea. the unconditional surrender to foreign interests of notable German Inventions, and further to have claimed priority rights to patents not now controled by Schuette. The Zeppelin concern Intimates that It shortly will proceed legally to establish Its right to the patents in question. It hints that the American corporation probably will be called on to contest tho suit, as the patents on which it claims to own control probably are the same as those registered by Schuette In Germany, whjch largely "constitute the intellectual property of Count Zeppelin." The forthcoming suit is expected to involve litigation by both the German airship concerns over patents which for a long time have been the source of hostility between them. The Zeppelin concern recently concluded an alliance with Spanish and American financial interests with the purpose of founding a transoceanic tlr service. During the recent visit to the United States of Dr. Schu .te it was said that he hud signed contracts giving the General Air Service Company the manufacturers' rights apd patent Interests of the Schuette-Danz airships for the entire world. Dr. Schuette was quoted ii.? having said these rights would give the United States the premier position ' (i Portrait of My Mother, ' | James McNeill Whistler V (National Gallery, L 4 9oi ^ Z7"jzjfj ' For the flowers Mother will get on Mother's Day, of u course.
