FULL TEXT: New York. April 7. – Christina
Magruder, a modiste, was held in $5,000 hall today on a charge of stealing jewelry
from Max Bernstein, a jewelry salesman, after Bernstein’s lawyer had accused her
of participating in a badger game by means of which Bernstein had lost nearly $250,000
in gems.
Opposing Miss Magruder’s plea for an adjournment, Benjamin A.
Hartstein. Bernstein's lawyer, said to Magistrate Simms: "I denounce this woman
as a clever badger worker, who preys on rich married men, and charge that she is
somewhat implicated in a quarter-of-a-million-dollar robbery in Baltimore in 1921,
when my client was robbed of a large quantity of jewelry by two men, who, we believe,
are friends of hers and who now a reserving term soften and twenty years.”
