WAS DAUGHTER OF FAMOUS
FRENCH CRIMINAL AND
PAL OF THIEVES
NEW YORK. Jan. 10.—A death
no ace published by request in
newspapers here, told of the death
at the front in France of Ellina La
Peru Francheon. 2S vears aid. a
Red Cross nurse. Who had had a
reir-arkable career as a noted thief
j and revealed that her foster-father
j formerly a wealthy New Englander
is residing in St- Louis with ids fa
j utiiy. *
Eiinia. who was killed by a shell
; when on the way to the firing line
] in an ambulance, was the daughter
j of M. Fancheon. a wealthy and
trusted Paris Banker, who subse
quently was found to be head of an
j international gang of criminals.
In 1SSS a gang of desperadoes
infested Germany. France and En
gland. No robbery was too diffi
cult for the members to attempt
They stopped at no crime. The
brains of the detective force of the
countries in which t he gang work
ed seemed unable to cope with the
thieves.
Finally a French detective,
known now only as Francois, got
. the assignment to ferret out the
gang. A clue was found in a false
date or. a bill of exchange bet
ween Berlin and Paris- Arrests
were made and a confession proved
that the head of the gang was Le
; Pere Francheon, the trusted Paris
banker.
He disappeared.lt was found he
was living in the south of France
vith his wife and two-year oid
daughter Eilinia. Francois led the
party that went to arrest the mast
er criminal. Two gendarmes were
killed .Francois was wounded, and
j Francheon's wife was so badly hurt
that she died later.
But Francheon escaped. The
next day his empty boa: was found
floating near his home, and the gen
eral opinion was that he had been
wounded, and had died. Nothing
has ever been heard of him since.
Eilinia, the only survivor, was
sent to a Paris convent. Her fanti
. !y story was forgotten. One thing
was remembered, later—that she
had on her left arm a birthmark,
a perfect letter U. All the Fran
cheon property was confiscated by
the government.
In 1S91 an American millionaire
on his honeymoon reached Paris.
He met the little girl, was at once
struck with her beauty and intelli
gence. and ended by adopting her.
She was then but 5 years old. He
brough*. her back to his New En
gland home where she was brought
up as his own child.
The child did not do well in the
schools she attended-Things were
often missing from room of pupils,
and proof seemed to point to her.
But no accusations were made, for
’ she was a millionaire's daughter.
She was taken to France to finish
, her education and was graduated
from a school there.
In the summer after that Fran
cois was called from the Paris de
tect: w bureau to the Palais Hote'.
: Trouville, to hunt for a valuable
. necklace that had teeen stolen or
| los* a the fashionable place.
£'u_ .ring on the be2ch the day
flee his arrival he was struck by
\ ‘he resemblance of one of a party
of American girl bathers to some
; one he had seen before. He recall
ed the Francheon child and decided
hat she was the one he had in his
nd. Pretending to be fortune
eller, he got the girls to show him
their left arms and hands. He saw
the tell-tale ieter If,the birthmark
i of Eilinia Francheon.
When the girl returned to Paris
she was taken to the Prefect's off
ice. She confessed she had seen
the lost necklace on the sand, cov
ered up atxl returned for it. She
offered if released to return it
with a trunkful of spoils taken
fro;.-, the college from which she
.ust been graduated. She was
no-, prosecuted and returned to A
; -.'.erica.
In ’.91” 1 A. Xevcome. a New
'fork detective, \v as tailed in to
find the msn wn,i had robbed the
home of certain millionaire living
,io; r the .. ctropchs Much jewelry
had been . .ken, ts well as fifty
five thousand dollars in securities.
The millionaire was the foster fa
ther of EIHnia Francheon.
Tlie securities had been in a se
-rect drawer unknown to anyone, it
was thought, except the millionaire
and his wife. Two such tables had
been presented to him by a friend
in France. The spring of the dra
wer would open for five minutes,
then close automatically.
Miss Francheon at that time was
•. ngaged to a Mr. Collins. He had
left town for Montreal the night
-vfere the robbery. Xewcome found
Collins was a man he had known
ir. France. A week later the secret
drawer was robbed and that night
Ellinia also disappeared, sending
hack word that she had eloped with
'oilins and was about to go to
Europe.
A few months later they were
reported at Xantasket Beach, near
Boston where they stayed at a hot
el. Xewcome went thither with
one of his men. That night a large
sum of money was stolen from
a contractor. But Xewcome was
able to secure most of the securit
ies stolen from the millionaire and
his wife. The girl refused to go
back and see her foster father and
mother. She and Collins returned
to Europe, but could not stay there
and came back to America. In
1914 he enlisted in the Canadian
contingent of the British army
It is not known where he is now.

“BOHEMIANS”
(Xew York Globe)
This is one of the most abused
•.cords in the language. There are
few people who know what it
means. Fewer, still, who have ever
^covered the genuine article. 'When
ever it is pursued with zeal, the ex- j
piorer learns that Bohemia is “some
here else.” Some people take it
to be a coterie of people who are
untidy in their rainment- To others
a slackness of morals appears to be
the essential character. Red ink,
spaghetti and a lot of loose chatter
about Picasso, Marinetti and Ger
trude Stine are frequently mistaken
for an unfailing peculiarity of the
animal.
Only one thing is certain—just:
as the man who boasts of his sense
of burner brands himslef as r^ing
extraordinarily devoid of it, so the
man who asserts that he is a Bo- •
• inn is unquestionably not one.
Your genuine artist today will in
dignantly repudiate the accusation.
If he takes his work seriously at
all hi,-, hours are more regular and
more arduous than those cf the
most conventional and prosperous of
cloak maunfacturers. If he is a
painter, he cannot sit up late carous
ing as the popular fancy imagines
him. If he did he would lose valu
able hours of daylight.
The truth is that most of these
alleged Bohemians are wistful souls
who work stolidly and unromantic
ail y at their typewriters or ledgers.
Their Bohemianism is a harmless if
somewhat slovenly protest against
the essential commonplaceness of
their daily lives.
