Two months later, she says, he de- | camfed with 32,500, all her savings. When the woman appeared before him yesterday he stared at her for & moment, and then sank to the floor with a great groah. He wags dead be- fore a physician could reach him. Crawtord had been in jail since January, when he was arrested for swindling the Rev. Dr. Stauley of New Hamburg out of several hundred | dollars while a member of the Pres- bytery. After being deposed he fled, but was found In the National Sol- diers'”. Home at Newport News. Crawford’s career reads like an im- agipative story of criminal fiction. His years of crime reached nearly forty, and in that time he ig believed to -have obtained fraudulently and spent more than $1,000,000 and to have married ten women bjgamously. Up to the time he obtained the pas- torate of the New Hamburg church he had posed as lawyer, banker, poy litical orator, literateur, real estate operatar, spiritualist organjzer, free love exponent, Christian Science heal- er,” insurance agent, judge, ceptain, major, colone] and general in the reg- ular army, Unitarian minister, Mor- mon preacher, actor, prohibition lec- turer and member of a long list of va- rioug ctuits. Crawford never could blame his early start in life or his bringing up for his criminal nr?pen-uflet He was born in Saugerties' and as a boy en- listed in the Civil war. After the war he studied law at Columbia and graduated in the class of 1867. In 1868 he married the first of the women who have called him RQus- band. Two vears later he deserted her and departed with all the money he could get, from her and her friends. Then he took to horse trad- ing but conducted it In such a man- ner that he soon found himself in the Albany penitentiary.

He established a religious cuit in New Zegland, but it was t0o much | for the New Zealanders and he was | sent out of the country. He was next in tor heard of in Tasmania, and then forgery and served seven yvears.

One of his most remarkable achievements here ;zv the obtaining of $6,000 from the ormons in Utah on some swindling pretense. 5 Only once in his career did Craw- ford work in partnership with anoth- er. That was in 1881 and 1882, when he joined forces with a notorious Bng- lish swindler known as “Lord Ash- ton.” known , as Arlington Buckingham ‘Wadeworth Wrothington. The pair got into ‘society in Chicago and Bos- ton, parting with each other in the Massaghusetts city, where Crawford startef his operations among the spir- itualists.
