San Francisco - When Della Pattra, self-styled “Egyptian princess” was summoned to court on an embezzlement charge, she appeared in this vampish Egyptian costume - but the judge didn’t vamp worth a whoop. “Go home and put on some regular clothes,” said he.

When Della was extradited back to California from New York, where she had fled, she asked her accusers attorneys to give her five minutes time alone with him. Shortly after, the charges were dropped and the two were married. 

The judge who was hearing the embezzlement case, on learning the charges were dropped, said “The court feels that the only mistake it has made is that it did not keep the defendant, Della Pattra, in jail permanently. Mr. Clerk, if there is any application here to declare this man, Buehle, the complaining witness, incompetent or insane I will be glad to hear that. Any divorce proceeding between these people can be assigned to some other department.”
