KING OF
HEARTS IS IN
LIME LIGHT
NEW YORK, Jan. 6.—The stage is
set in federau court here today for
the entrance Monday of handsome “Ol
iver Osborne,” self-confessed starter
of a $50,000 breach of promise suit be
tween tiny Rae Tanzer and former
District Attorney James W. Osborne.
If this debonair and charming man
with the smile is identified by Rae as
the man who flirted with her on the
72nd street subway platform and aft
erward made love to her at closer
range, the wealthy and reputable
former official, Janies W. Osborne, will
have proved his contention that he
never saw or heard of the woman who
sued him for $50,000 for breach of
promise.
The concrete situation to be dealt
with Monday is whether the wee wom
an is guilty of perjury in swearing
that James W. Osborne actually was
the man who flirted with, then prom
ised to marry her.
But the center of interest will be the
mysterious “Oliver” himself. It was
only after a chase of several years, in
volving expenses running into several
comfortable fortunes, that the elusive
“Oliver,” whose existence James W.
has asserted from the beginning but
of whom no trace was found until re
cently, was caught under another of
his many names, in Chicago.
Miss Tanzer and her attorneys,
Slade & Slade, who also are under
indictment for perjury in connection
with the case, still claim that it was
James W. Osborne who smiled ac
quaintance with Rae and wooed her to
wed him. The three promise “big
surprises” at the trial.
The handsome' “Oliver” however, re
mains the big attraction. His capti
vating story cf how he has given cu
pid cards and spades and beaten him
time after time in the game of love,
has amazed and disgusted those who
heard it; while at the same time his
personality, his “way” has left every
one liking him in spite of what he has
done.
Even the women he duped while he
blazed a trail of broken hearts and
pocketbooks across the land have near
ly always had a smile for the big fel
low when they attended his private
audiences to identify him. There
wasn’t even much ill feeling in the re
mark of Ethel Brooks, whom “Oliver”
married under the name of Maise Ma
son Nye, when, in identifying him she
said: “This is the specimen I mar
ried.” She, by the way, was the only
or.e of the many women in “Oliver’s”
career that he actually married.
“Oliver’s” real name is Charles H.
Wax. He has been positively identi
fied as the man who duped them, by
many women in and around New York.
He seemed always to choose those
who had several thousand dollars he
could beat them out of.
Wax is a big man about 5 feet 10
inches tall. He weighs about 200
pounds. He is jovial and very pleas
ant to meet. His eyes are blue and
keen. His brown hair is thinned a
little over his rather good forehead.
His nose is straight and strong. His
constantly laughing lips reveal two
rows of dazzling white teeth. There’s
a dimple in his chin that all the young
women who have testified for the gov
ernment at previous trials of the Os

borne case described as one of the
charms of their “Oliver.”
Wax’ carriage is youthful and jaun
ty. He exudes a real physical mag
netism and around the federal build
ing and in the Tombs everyone admits
they “just can’t help" but like him,
despite the things he admits having
done.
“Of course Wax is not the Oliver
Osborne I knew and who accompanied
me to the Hotel Kensington in Plain
field,” said Rae Tanzer today. “I have
seen Wax’ pictures. He is no more
like Oliver than a lamp post. At my
trial this will be shown without ques
tion.
“Wait until my lawyer gets this
cheap impostor on the stand. Wait un
til he lias to explain away a thousand
and one things that support my asser
tion that James W. Osborne is Oliver.”
Still, the self-styled King of Hearts
swears he is tiny Rae’s Oliver; and
thus matters stand until Monday.
STATION WORKER
IS MANGLED BY
DYNAMITE BLAST
(Seward Post)
Charles Benson, a station worker of
the firm of Sequest & Co., near Gird
wood, was frightfully injured by an
explosion of dynamite early today and
is being brought to Seward for treat
ment. The injured man lost his right
hand and the sight of one eye.
Reports received by Marshal Evans
from Girdwood were that Benson had
attempted to end his life with powder
and was insane. Reports received at j
railroad headquarters indicated that j
the explosion was an accident. It is j
possible that Benson became mentally
unbalanced as a result of the explo
sion.
Benson was given first aid treat- j
ment at Kern creek by Mr. Whitney,!
nurse for the U. S. railroad, who will
accompany him to Mile 40. Dr. Ro
mig will go to Mile 40 tomorrow to
bring him here for treatment.

his revenue. *
