This in- decided Schwartz m letting 1m have the | money, with a bonus of $759 upon the $25. To this extent there was no contention between the parties. Ou the question of Line, upon which the ease substan: tually turned, the testimony of the parties was very conflicting. 'Piatatit swore that the conditions were that be sbould have two montis in whieh to redeem the watch; that he said, if he did pot cali for it within the prescribed time the dolendant would be ent. tied to retain it in his possession or dis- pose of i as he might think proper; that withiu two or threo duys belore the expiration of the bought up bad disposed of 1, piaintifl’s agreement b: of the story being that he was to ha within one Week, and, having failed in that, be bad a right te convert it to his own use.

Drew gave him was $41,400; wit- ness went to seo Mr. Drew occasionally and held cou- but on such occasions no other person was preeeut; treqaentiy saw him in the pr ence of others, but did not then speak on businces subjects; had purchased Northwestern at Benedict & Parson's pool room: he first stock was bought Feb- ruary 9 or 10, 1874. On cross-examination witness said he told Mr, Drew he bad purchased North- western, but did not tell bim bow much; thought, irom the check, it was 3,000 shares; ‘was engaged very actively in Stock Exchapye, but not upon so large a scale as some others; could not ray, without looking over the books, precisoly how many shares were purchased; it required over 100,000 shares Of tho stock to have a controlling interest, In the atteruoon Mr. Drew was called to the witness stand and gave his narrative of the transactions bear- jug ov the suit ol Me, White, He teatilled us tollow: “1 did not tetl Mr. Atkinson that the paper given to Mr. White was an order for $41,400; toid him that I wanted the paper to lay over tor two or three days; 1 put the privilege for tne order in my pocket; don’t re- member having s1id you have got my privilege; I wanted the payment, ” (Witness identified the due bill as urawn by Mr. White, which was showa him vy coupsei). n't remember having had any conversa- ton with Mr, Atkinson while Mr, White was away the conversation had was not while White was out; think White was there, Q Do you remember the time of the Rock Island, when you }-ut the stock up to liv?

A. 1 don’t remember a letter veing written to Bocock to come to see ino; 1 remem! Bucock writing to me that he wold come to see me; L believe he came; when ho came I tld him [ would go and see bim, and I did so in three or four days; don’\ remember whether I asked him what was too Joss in the Rock Island transaction; did not say that there had been any Joint transaction between Mr. White and myself in Northwest common stock ; did not teli Mr, Bucock some time between the Ist of February and May, 1872, that there bad been a joint stock Iransaction between Mr. White and myse'f. In answer to a question as to whether “when @ man taiks about a matter jn which witness bad po general interest, did he charge his mind with 14,” Mr. Drew rephed that bo did not.

THE STORY OF MRS, CASSELLMAN—HER INSAN- TX DEEMED CERTAIN---8KETCH OF HER CAREER, Sarah Wisner, alias Sarah E Casseliman, otberwiso Saroh Beauregard, alias Mrs, Banker, alias Mes, Suth- erland, the alleged confidence operator, arrested by Captain Kennedy, of the Ninth precinct, was arraigned betore Jus ice Bixby, at the Washington Placo Police Court, yesterday morning and remanded to the Tombs wotil Friday morning nexy to await the result of a medioal examination in'o ber mental condition, Dur- tog an interview with Superintendent Walling yester- day thatoMcial informed a Hxxato reporter tbat, in his opinion, the unfortunate woman was undoubtedly tn- sane, or, at least, Micted as tv be hardiy reepunsible for her actions. Justice Bixby, before whom she was brought, informed the reporter that from her appear- anee, actions, and the extraordinary stories sho told, sho mast have been aberrated in mind. In per- son tbe prisoner is a woman about thirty-five yoars old, with attenuated features, about five feot six inches in height, and of a generaily careworn appearance. For several days past various newspapers ave repre- sented her as a brithants and dashing confidence operator, When arraigned in court yesterday she was attired im mean apparel, and according to the statement of Mrs. Smith, the wile of the Nipth precinct patrolman who searched her in the station house, her condition is more deserving of pity than coudemoation, So miserably wretchea did her cir- cumstances prove on examination that Mrs, Smith, touched by her wretchedness, offered to give her a portion of her own wardrobe, which the prisoner re- (used in an evcentric manner, stating that she owned houses und Jets, and that she needed po assistance, It has been ascertained thatthe real uame of the prisoner 38 Sara Wisner, that she is a native of Stockton, inthis State, and (hat she a distant relative of Judge Wisner, of Eumira, and not his danghter, as she ts said to have represented herself to be. She seems to be a woman of culture, broken down by adversity, The circumstances connectod with ber arrest are of an ordinary character. On Saturday last she came to the boarding house of Mrs. Hungertord, Nos, 342,344 and $46 West Four- teenth street, and represented hersell as Mra Suther- land, a niece of City Judge Sutherland, and a dvugnter of Judge Wisner, of Elinira, sho said rhe was pose nessed of ample means, and that ber baggage would be Jorwarded by the Hudson River Rauiroad iu a tew days. Mrs, Hanger.ord was at first disinclined to receive ber into ber house, but tinally, aeceived by the stories told by’ Mrs. Sutherland regarding ber acquaintances with promiment families 1a Elmira, with whom Mre, Hungeriord was acquainted, she ylolied, On sunday evening, however, Mra Hunger Jord suspected thet ber Mrs, Sutherla was !n reality Ue woman who, under the name of Mrs, Banker, Mrs, Cuseeliman and Mrs. Beauregard had been engaged in swindling the various boarding loure keepers in the uptown portion of the city, Sho called on airs, Kieanor F, Bishop, of No, 98 Fifth avenue, who, with Mra, Put- pam, of Nos, 125, 127 aud 129 Filth avenue, bad been Vietimized by the woman passing under the name of Mrs, Casseliman, Mra Bisvop notified Mr. Taylor, a private detective, whom she had empluyed, and he, being powerless to make an ar- rest, brought the ladies to the Ninth precinct station houso, ju Cherics street, Captain Kennedy, with Detective Bush, on Monday evening, proceeded to the residence of Mrs, Hungeriord, and thero arrested the prisoner, Sarah Wisner, alits Casseliman, alias Banker, alias Beauregard, alias Sutherland. she made ho expiauat‘on ut the lime of ber arrest, but went bmi to the Charles street station und was locked up. She ts charged by Mrs. Bishop, vf 98 Fifth avenue, with having represented herself a8 a widow lady who Was possessed of an immense fortuno, a magnilicent estate at Poughkeepsie, trotting borses, including the trotting xelding Victor, for which sho had been offered $10,000, by Robert Bonner, were on their way to this city, and sho so far imposed on Mrs, Bishop as to have a master mason and carpenter prepare plans to fit up box-padded stalls in Mrs. Diahop’s stables tor tho reception of her stud of horses. Alterrunning up a board vill of $475 om Mrs. Bishop’s house she absconded and went to Mra. Putnam’s house where she attempted the samo game. She then disappeared and was not heard of again uot! her arrest. When she was arrested a siip cut from the Now York Sun found in her possession which gave a history of a stuilar imposition practised by her on Mrs. Mary Gleason, then keeping a fashionable boarding bi atNo 40 West Fourth street. The statoment read as follow: Au elogant woman, calling herself Mrs, Cassellman, bar- gxined for a room with Mrs. Gleason, at No. 40 West Fourth ftreet, promixing to pay $46. week tor ber own and her husbanu’s board. she took immediate possession, explain- ing that Mr. Canweliman was on ix way trom Europe.” Sho had a fine plano brought fa, but did not play muen on it, Decause, as said, ber music was in her trunk, which the Adams Express Company had mislaid. Sho culied at Kin- ney's livery stable, ut No. 126 west Fourth street, and nr. ran She would, sve would athe cvshed. Betore this trip, ho to ensh a check for $100 ou wu bi tit, asked Mr. Browne, the owner of the house, to let her ye the money. He raid he would. bat she hesitated to give him the draft. Just then a carringe came for her, and ne said she would frst consult with her cousin, Judge ‘utherlund. At her earnest req th juco and went to the bank at No. 196 Bowery.

After severat Mrs. Gleason asked fora settlement, and was met with marvellous stories of wonlthy relatives and bigh sociul ¢ m- nections. At Jast the lanulady employed a detective, who learned that Mrs. Casseliman was not known to Judge Sutherland, and that she hud prepared to repeat her exploit at another boarding house in rleventh street, Knabe took back the plano which she had go establishan and Weber will not send the one which she engagod ior het bleventh street ro In Jersey City she attempted to practise a similar game by tring a magviGcent brown stone [ront house on Jersey avenue. She was detected in this attempted fraud and ejected. When brought betore Justice Bixbv yesterday morning Dr. J. U. Carter, of sersey City stated that ho knew the son ot the prisoner, was a young physician in Elmira, N. firmly convinced she wus insane, and req Judge to have a medico-logal inquiry instituted as to her meatal condition. Mrs. Bishop was unab!e to be Present in court through sickness Mrs. Hungerford and Mrs, Putnam were preseat in attendance, dra. Hungerford, while m the corridor of the court, said, “Why is this woman driven to the wall? I will not send ber to prison. I thiok she has been made crazy by persecution.” Justice Bixby remanded the pris- over for medical cxamipation. Shortly after a lxKaLp reporter saw her. During tho interview the following conversation ensued asseliman, what have you to say regarding the charges against you? Mrs. CAs#hLUMAN—I have nothing to say except that Tam imnocent and am misunderstood. Rerorter—Do you deny having mado the false repre- sentations charged against you? Mrs, CasstLimMax—l have to say that all representa, could die. Revorten—Is your husband alive? Mrs, Cassentmax—Yeos, he is a clerk, I believe, at No, 25 Franktort street. She then turned her boad away and seemea disin- clined to give any further Information, On inquiry at No, 25 Frankfort street it was found that Philip Hake, the former proprictor of the store, had removed to the corner of William and Anu streets, where Mr. Cassoliman was found, ie siated that he had been obliged to separate from his wite four years ago by reason of her misconduct, and further than that statement refused to afford any information, Last evening Captain Ke ly lodged the prisoner in the Tombs. To-day an inquiry into ber mental con- dion will be made by Prolessor James T. Wood, Dr. William Hf. Sbiue, Dr. Witham 1. Nealis and Dr. Brekes, the city physician.
