‘MR. A’MADE OUT BLANK CHECKS !S ATTORNEY’S CLAIM Ex-Army Officer Teiis How He Impersonated Husband in Blackmail Plot, Bg United Pr LONDON, Nov. "6.—" The amazing thing about this affair is that ‘Mr. A,’ despite his high position in the world, was reduced to such a state of oppression and fear that he signed in his check book two blank checks capable of being filled in for any amount.” Sir John Simon, counsel for the Midland hank of London in a suit for .$6-3,000 brought by Charles Robinson, a bookmaker made this statement when the case was resumed today. Further light upon the distinguished position in world affairs heid by the potentate, who was caught in a Paris hotel with Robinson's wife and paid $750,000 to avoid exposure, also was thrown by the distinguished counsel when he said: “Mr. A was an object of admiration and envy wherever he went and wajs called 'your highness when abroad.” Identity Concealed Identity of the Itaiah is being concealed for reasons of state, although every one in London is by this time familiar with his proper name and title. Robinson's suit against the hank is based on the fact that V. .Hi. m Hobbs, a lawyer's clerk, made away with most of the money obtained from the prince. The bank In defense is trying to show a blackmail plot. On the stand Tuesday Montague Newton, an ex army officer, confessed to having parti, :pa ted in such a pint and declared Mrs. Robinson had suggested that "Mr. A" be caught in bed with her. Recalled t<> the stand today he told how he imners- natfd the bookmaker in Paris on l>ec. 23. lf<l9, at the ,st. James and Albany hotel. “I kept my apr-dntnient. according to schedule,” Newton went on "1 entered th*- hotel without any one questioning me and w ilk- 1 .._rltt to the suite occupied by Mrs. Robinson and the rajah. “I entered the salon, knocked en the bed rot m do, r and entt r* . ... immediately. “If I remember correctly.” the wo ness said, "ruminativelv, all : • lights were turned on as I enter' i. “Mrs. Robinson and Mr. A were in bed together.

He said, ’after all, this is yo .r husband.' “I told Mr. A ‘l've got the evidence I warned. I'll bid you go •!• morning, sir.' ” “How did Mr. A take it?" Sir John askd the witness. “Well,” replied Newton, "if it’s possible for a colored man to turn green, he did. “I left immediately, and. as f.ir as I know, Mr. A had never seen me before."
