DE JANON GIRL
AND WAITER FOUND
(Continued From Page 1.)
dinand de Janon, and the grandfather,
Robert Buisl, the Philadelphia mil
lionaire seed dealer.
“I’ll go to school if they want me
to,’’ she continued. did not want
to be forced —it was so lonely I
couldn’t stand it. But I’m through
with running away.”
Cohen, when ne was further exam
ined by the police Tuesday, remained
composed.
He reiterated that he had done
nothing wrong, and that Miss de Janon
had lured him from his home. The
prisoner persisted in declaring that
he would explain the affair satisfac
torily to his wife, and return to her.
The waiter is trying to paint him
self a martyr. “I took Miss de Janon
away to save her life,” he said Tues
day. “She begged me to go with her,
threatening to kill herself If I didn't.
I wanted to save her from herself.”
Letters discovered by the police,
however, indicate that the waiter
wielded a mysterious power over the
girl, even before the death of her
mother, after which she was sent to
the private school in Philadelphia
where she w’as so lonely.
Wrote Pathetic Letters.
The search of the couple's baggage
revealed forty-two notes and letters.
The most pathetic of them all is this,
written in a schoolgirl's hand, but
couched in pseudo-legal terms:
“Jan 3, 1910.
“This is to certify that I, Roberta
de Janon, have left my home at the
Bellevue-Stratford in Philadelphia of
my own accord, and 1 also acknowl
edge that I ased Fred Cohen to take
me with him, and after refusing sev
eral times he finally consented to
lake me as his daughter, as he has
always treated me as such and I al
ways looked upon him as my true
friend and protector.
■ I agreed to pay all my own ex
penses and the said Fred Cohen has
never encouraged or assisted me in
loaning home. Today is the sixth day
v e Lave been together and Fred has
treated nte just as if I was his own
daughter, having nothing but my wel- 1
fare in view. This will exonerate ]
Fred Cohen from any blame whatso
ever, as it was I who begged him to i
teke me away.
ROBERTA DE JANON.” !
Among other letters found in Miss '
dj Janon’s effects were the following:
“My Dearest, Darling Papa:
“Wen, I hope you will have a pleas
ant conversation with that woman at
7 p. m. I am sorry I will not have
a chance to talk to my new papa
again tonight, but I will think of him
just the same, and, perhaps, dream
about him, for do you know, papa, dear,
I have been dreaming of you a great
deal lately. Be sure to make inquiries
on Monday as to when the steamers
sail, and find out if I can have ‘tootsie”
in the cabin. Good night, my own
dear papa. ROBERTA.”
(Tootsie w’as the girl’s pet dog.)
Her “Sweetheart Papa.”
“To My Sweetheart Papa, from his
Sweetheart Daughter:
“I wish I could have a little talk
w’ith you tonight, as I am feeling ter
ribly sad, but guess we will have to
wait until tomorrow. If it is a nice
day, and if papa is not ready to take
‘Tootsie’ down about 10:45, I will try
to come down, but if I find that’s im
possible don’t get angry. Good night.
“ROBERTA.”
Fred to Roberta:
“Hello, honey: If a man of twenty
six is too old for you, then certain I
don’t stand a ghost of a chance.”
Roberta to Fred in reply:
“A man of forty-tw’o is about the
right age for a father, so you see you
stand more than a ghost of a chance.
"Your Daughter.”
Roberta to Cohen:
“Nothing to do, Freddie darling. Noth
ing to do, you say let’s
Take a trip on memory’s ship.

Dear old golden love days;
Kissing and hugging and quarreling,
But always sure to make up right

And you put down on paper—'I love

Fred to Roberta:
“You were my kind, the waiterman;

Hope you will be back soon. I can’t
be parted long from my sweet,
heart baby, too long.”

ed as those of the missionaries, think
It good form to treat the latter with
contemptuous superiority, to find fault
with them, to sit In Judgment upon

Watson knows who Sven Hedin Is?—
'The more I get to know about the
missionaries the more I admire their
quiet, unceasing and often thankless
labors.’
“It was, ns you know, wholly from
a missionary motive—the same that
would send me to the Chinese or to

Atlanta to meet your benighted Mr.
Watson. I was willing to spare the

acquaintance with many Atlanta men.
I have been rewarded by a hearty
laugh, with no labor Involved.
