Humbéri's hap beh rivalled by a young Bros, oa for some time past has been living at the rate of thirty or Iating © the: tune of t of the Stock Exchange, pur- chasing wgonsive motor cars, valuable diamond tiaras and other Jewelry and Reotland.. and Wales--all on She A pol a suasive manner an gh me of | Poh sk which| she a fortune of £500,000 from the late Gen. Gordon, of whom ho was ng relation, and whose Wal estate ampurited to £2,315. Violet. Charlesworth is the girl' s" name, and sho is tweniy-five years of age' this' = month. Hor astonishing stoty is complicated by her mysterious disappearamee, and what at this writing appears to have been a deli- heraie attempi to cover up her tracks hy a simulated motoring tragedy. in fact for several days England has hacen ringing with the tragical motor | aceident in which a young woman lost I'her lile by being hurled out of the "ear she was driving over a cliff on the coasl of North Wales, and it was only during the later hall of last week that the affair has developed into what is lone of tho most remarkable stories of {deception ever carried out by man or "woman. The girl is the daughter of a Staf- {ford mechanic, and received only = 'hoarding school education. When she |grew up, however, she developed big lideas, and, according to hor brother |in-law, a working jeweler named Coul- | son, who married her sister, Lillian {was Violet's influence that brought | aboui a separation between himseld | and wife, *' Violet wanting to live on moro. extravagant lines than 1 could afford. Public' attention was first directed to the case hy the réports that a girl of twenty-five, named Violet Charles- worth, who. was {along a road in North Wales, near | Conway, last Saturday night, had | been thrown over the glass soreem in front of "tho car on to the seashore {bencath. A man chauffeur and her {gister, Lillian, were in the car at the time, and to the police superintendent who appearéd' on the scene soon after, the accident they made the statement that Violet had 'gona over the chff. The supecintondent® later said that he did "4 press them for details," as hoth were greatly upset. The search for the body was without avail, al | though it could not possibly have been carried away by the sea, the water at this point being very shallow: There pe no marks on the rocks, no traces | of blood; only a lam o 'shanter cap and {an empty notebook being found. | | Creditors All Over England. { 'The reportcrs who next day sought |to dve full details of the accident | conld obtain no news from the chauf | ier or Lilhans Coulson, who was sta |ted to be in bed ill at the handsome {villas Mrs. Comlson had occupied witl her sistér, Violot, at St. Asaph. The | motor car showed no signs of the col | lision which was said to have cause | Violet's = precipitation over the cliff {and little by little other details came lout which indicated that Violet | Charlesworth had planned this me |thod of disappearance in order 10 es [cape hee creditors, who were begin ning to grow impatient for the money | she had promised to pay when she camo inte her fortune this month. | These creditors are said to be all over | England. Violet was fond of motoring and in- dulged in it to the fullest extent. She {appears to have had no difficulty 'ir lobtaiing a new car whenever she wanted ome, and recently purchased {one from|a well-known firm for £1, 1200, paying part in money down. { Several London jewelers have done | business with or "heen done" hy her, ono. firm alone having supplied her with trinkets to the value of £1,000. ! She rented an estate in Wiltshire and [hired a mansion in Scotland, where | she was a noticeable visitor at the | Highland meeting last summer. She {stayed at various times at come of i the best. London hotels, and in some {cases paid heavy bills. | Violet was a quiet, demure little | person. She gave all with whom she thad dealings the impression that she was entirely guiltioss. Not a word is breathed against hoe characier, but |sho seems to have exercised an unac- jeguntuble fastination' upon all the én she met. Perhaps the strangest { fpature of her case is her Block Ex- {change transactions. Lost Heavily In Money Panic. A member of a London stock hro- ker's firm with whom Miss Charles- | worth dealt said : "She owes us £10, {000 for speenlation, mostly in Ameri- can: rails. Four ycars ago she first wrote to us, with an introduction which was in avery way sound, that she wished to speculate on a small { scale. All our business at first was |by letter and telegram. At the out- {sot dhe dealt in small operations, and {was successful, her sums amounting [to a good deal. Her speculations grow {Jarger, and then her luck turned. "At tons time. she held 1,550 shares of {Union Pacific. Then the American {money panic came and she was 'hit very hard indeed. A bear speculation also failed. She was keenly busincss- 'ike, 'possessing a knowledge of "the Rtock Exchange that niany men might envy her. "She ¢ould talk in a marvellous way "talk round anyone to her view, Her sister seemed to be entirely under hor domination, and I believe she bad her whole family under her thumb.
