"When father was away be would

he never gave me the kisses when he

Began Wildest Career
of Eccentric Activities
When the preps were knocked from
under Lebnudy's imperlnl projects in
Africa be gathered bis followers about
him and bada a tearful farewell te his
beloved Lcbaudla. On bis return te
Europe he renounced his French
citizenship by declaring his allegiance
te King Edward of England, whom he
grandiloquently proclaimed his fellow
ruler.
Fer several years after this Jacques
was always engaged In enterprises se
nmnzlng that the world wns never quite
Mire whether he wns n dangerous
maniac or only the greatest of practical
jokers.
At one time lie spent n goed-slsed
fortune In the vain attempt te Bet up
a rival te Monte Carle en the eastern
coast of Italy. Te the end of his life
he never abandoned his Imperial ambi
tions, and when he tried te establish
himself as emperor In one of the Balkan
states he juat missed plunging Europe
into war.
The most surprising thing about
Jacques Lebaudy's career was that with
all Ills growing eccentricities he never
lest the financial shrewdness for which
bis father had been famous. While
squandering with one bnnd n fortune
en wine ei ins inmnsTic seiiPines, he
was nlwn.vs accumulating with the ether
new million. Within ten yearn of hN
father's death dining speculations mere,
than doubled the wealth the old Sugar
King had left him.
The United States was a country
which long had fascinated Lebaudy, and
when he finally became disgusted with
the lr.ck of Interest which uurepe took
in his Imperial schemes he went te New
Yerk te live. Shortly before this he
hnd married Augustine Dellerre, a re
fined nnd beautiful Parisian woman
of geed family.
Lebaudy slgnnllzed his arrival In
this country by denning up n cool mil
lion dollars In n few weeks through a
held Wall Street speculation In Erie
Itailrend stock. 1 1 followed this up
with ether entures net quite se profit
able but equally daring. Hut just when
he seemed about te become a Napeleon
of American finance he began te be
haunted by the fenr that be was beln
pursued wherever he went by des
perate enemies men and women who
were bent en killing blra and seizing the
scepter which he still believed he
wielded eer his African dominions.
Hj established his wife nnd child In
the Leng Island suburban town, but he
himself wns nfrald te remain there with
them for long. lie became n no

and tbe worst miserliness. On. ,!-..
he would be distributing $20 geld pieces

next he would be making his dlntw

Fitted Messenger Beys
as Force te Aid Allies
Itcgardlng some of his ecccntrlcltlri
Mme. Lebaudy said :
"When he purchased Phoenix Ledjj
he would see no one. He rarely went
Inte town, and all purchases were nub
in the name of his secretary.
"After a tlme his eccentricities be.
came mere marked. He would bu;
many broken down horses and ride or
parade them ever the plains nnd threugn
tbe town. Then he would send te Nw
Yerk City and engnge uniformed mej.
sengcr boys. He would mount them
upon his old horses and parade then
ever the plains nnd through the town,
He would drill them nnd said that lis
wns organizing nn expedition te aid tbe
Allies.
"He would have his servants llrit
lanterns nnd place them In the read tt
night. He would order horses eaddled
or harnessed te a buggy and tied ta
trees early In the night se they would
be ready for him In the morning.
"Sometimes he would want te be id.
dressed ns the Emperor of Sahara. Then
he would be called Count. At ether
times he wnnted te be called Mr. Le
baudy. We never knew hew te addrtw
him. Once he had his servant! cut
lumber mid obstructions in tbe read
In front of Phoenix Ledge, and travel
through it was Impossible. Thli led
te action en tne part or tee Nuwi
County authorities and his arrest.
"On several occasions he moved the
furniture out of hla home and placed It
In the read or in the grounds nrreaad
Ing the house.
"An event which nerterlurf Km
greatly occurred seen after he went te
nesiDury te ure. A process ,iener
irem 4ew lern jity tried te reach him

1 he man waited for him in the town
and one day Mr. Lebaudy unexpected!'
went te the railroad station. He wu
serveu witn some kind of a mm
mens. Fer months after that be would
net see anybody."
Wife Had te Flee Frem
Wild Frenzy of Husband
On one occasion he attacked his own
house with an ax when his wife nc
ceeded In eluding him in the met of
rooms in the huge building, which wn
mere like a summer hotel than a family
home
At another time he sought te perntde
a former deputy sheriff te aid him In
burning down tbe house, with Ita la
mates.
His empleyes and some of his ntlih
bera saw him gelna about with a red
lantern hanging from his mouth by a
wire handle. He said that he did thli
ler bis health
One of hla amusements was rUlni
bareback en a cow nnd trvlne nnauc
cessfuly te persuade her te hurdle
fences.
Lebaudy frequently withheld raeMJ,
from his wife nnd servnnts until thev
were without feed, and when they told
him there was nothing te cat, his rpl
wns te go and kill one of the cewa for
dinner,
On one occasion he ordered a carload
of Ice sent te Weatbury, saying that II
waa necessary te keen his hav cool.
The actual atery of the shoetlnrol
Lebaudy was told before the Grand Jury
by H. Vf, Moere, Mrs. Lebaudy's cenn
