JILTED LOVER SUES. d- He Wants $25,000 for Expenses and Injured Feelings. a~ Leicester M. Pond, a prominent Spokane architect, is so piqued at ie Miss Bessie Kelley. one of Poughkeepsie's fairest society buds, because l<* she jilted him after accepting his at18 tions and promising to marry him, that he has sued his former sweetQ~ heart to recover $25,000. which re amount he feels will heal his bleedtil ing heart. The news of the suit created a m sensation in social circles when it was announced. Miss Kelley's fathr er. William J. Kelley. inherited many thousands of dollars from the M estate of his uncle, William W. Conle neil, a wealthy recluse, who lived " 5e modestly and after his death was 1 found to have securities valued at I Q" $3,000,000 in a box under his bed. Mr. Pond is an architect and was " formerly associated in business with W. J. Beardsley, who drew the plans for the state's new prison to replace Sing Sing. Mr. Pond removed to r~ Spokane, Wash., several years ago. Mr. Pond has engaged Morscheuser & Housradt. who are attorneys for to Harry Thaw, to press his suit against Miss Kelley. Mr. Pond says that his engage}> ment to Miss Kelley"cost him $2,500 9 for traveling expenses and gifts. He Jn wants this money back. The balance * of the $25,000 he is suing for is for mortification, humilation. mental grief and the ridicule and contempt of his business associates. q Miss Kelley's friends say she would ? ie not marry Mr. Pond because upon .-e^ flection she could not bear to leave ld her mother and go away out to the y. State of Washington to live. y ~ L0 Peary Most Prove He Reached Pole, to Washington. March 9.?Until Como. mander Robert E.
