EX-JOCKEY TO VICTORIA SURE KING WILL WED

He'll Keep Tone, Too, Says |

James Kennelley Mortin, Here on Visit.

BY JOE COLLIER

James Kennelley Mortin took down with a bad heart at Market and Pennsylvania-sts and that’s how some additional trivia about Britain's royal family found its way into Indianapolis today. James sald he used to call Queen Victoria “Miss Vic,” and that she liked it. In fact, he said, she made a pet of him way back in the late 1880's, James was a jockey. He lies to-

day, smooth faced for all his 71

years, on a bed in the shock ward at City Hospital. On a table beside him are two nickels. “The bank roll,” he “explained.

Knew Edward as a Boy

“But when my jockey contract was sold to an agent of Queen Victoria I embarked for England with plenty of money in a Brooklyn bank and a home I owned in Brooklyn. “I got there and was sort of a novelty around the royal stables, being an American and everything. But the English boys were swell to me, and many's the time Queen Victoria would give me a handful of coins after I won a race for her.

“I raced for the stables for nine months and I won 49 races. My contract called for one year, but I was homesick and the Queen released me and I returned. I knew the present King when he was a little tyke.

Says King Will Marry

“Oh, yes. He'll marry Mrs. Simpson, all right. And he’ll keep his throne, too.” James was interrupted when an interne listened to his heart, felt his pulse. He's used to that, because since October this year he has been in hospitals in at least three cities with similar heart attacks. He hopes to reach Texas where he says he has ‘a job as night watchman for a racing stable. “Queen Victoria was just a plain lady,” he said. “Not stuck up a bit. . She spent a lot of time around the - stables and she loved horses.

The Good Old Days

“I also rode for Harry Payne Whitney's father; for Diamond -Jim Brady, and for many other persons who were top horsemen in their day. I made plenty of money but the stock market got it all. “I rode in four Kentucky Derbies, but closest I ever got to winning was fourth place. Once Diamond Jim was pretty fond of his horse, Gold Heels. He built a life-sized statue of him and used it as a centerpiece for a party. He paid me $1000 to sit on him for the duration of the party. “He gave diamond bracelets to the ladies and diamond studded watches to the gentlemen as favors, The party cost him $40,000.” James sighed a litfle as he recalled such boisterous spending.
