One of them slipped the 8100 back into the German's hands and got back the bogus check, but still there was enough evidence againat them, and the follows had to give $500 bail for their appearance at the district court, ‘They forfoited their bail at this term of ceurt, and are doubtless now working some other field. One of them was a sandy haired young man, and it is concerning him that a strango cxperience has been brought to light, which is corroborated by Datcclive Fero, as well as the chief detective of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul road and others. Tho chapter of the ‘‘con’” man's life is interesting, as It reveals how O'Donnell, whose execation in ngland for killing Carey has caused so great stir all over the world, secnred the neccesary money to pay his traveling expenses, when he was on his mission of avenge, This red- headed ‘‘con” man, with tso others, were working o traln botween Hastings snd Red Wing, Minnesota, and O'Don- nell was on the traln. He was then a man unknown to the public, an ordicary sort of an_Irishman, to all appearance, but he had quite a roll of money with him, In their cagerness to get it this red- haaded “con” mon, after getting in friendly conversation, offered him a cigar which was drugged. O'Donnell, by amoking it, fell into a stupor and was then easily robbed of his money. The crooks got off the train at Red Wing and between there and La Crosse O'Do,n nel rovived enouzh by the hatkiagof tha conductor to give a mumbled account o' how ho had been used, and what had be- fallen him, The telegraph wires were sot at work and the crooks were arrested. The detectlve department of the St. Paul road took special pains to prcsecute the case, but it soems that one of the wealth- iest gamblers in Chicago befriended the follows and was very anx'ous to get them clear, Various money propositlons were made to settle the aftair but all declinad, and O'Donnell was kept in surveillance by the officers so that he might be on hand at the time of trial. Large bail was fixed and given, but the crooks thought it cheaper to bay off O'Donnell, rather than to forfeit this large amount of bail. By aid of their friend in Chicago they sncceeded in dolng so, and about $1,000 was paid O'Donnell, if he would not appeer against them, To insure hls abeence tickets were secured for New York, and an ocean pastage paid for, the throne in the next administration. He stands much closer to the governor than ‘Dan’ Manning does. The governor owes more to him than he does to Manning. Have you noticed that in all the recent reports of the visits of politicians to the governor mentlon is made of Mr. Apgar being present? *Well, if any 'man will run Mr. Cleve- land, that man will be ‘Eddie’ Apgar. There is no doubt that Mr. Apgar wrote that recent lotter of Cleveland’s. I know higstyle and I recognized it, and Mr. Apgar will be the next president’s most oconfidential adviser. He is booked, I understand, for the comptrollership of the carrency. But Mr, Apgar'sinfluence will bo a gocd one. He believesthat the better element of the democracy should be on top, and he will sce that many reforms are lnaugu rated, for he is shrewd enough to see that only in that woy can the democracy gein a long lease of power. He will ad- viee that the civil service law be strictly observed in spirit as well asin lotter. He will advoca‘e relaining effizient office- loldera, even though hey bs republicans, Lt is for tlis reason tvat 1 beliove Mr. Cleveland s administration will be a moat conservative one.” “But why,” the reporter asked, ‘‘do yousay that ho owes so much to Mr. Apgar?” *Apgar found Cleveland and'made him governor of New York,” he replied. *‘In the epring of 1882 the democrats were custing around for a candidate for gover nor. The two factions, Tammany and the county democracy, had beea embit. tered by Cornell’s election through Kel- ly's candidacy. Apgar saw that a new and non-committal man must be taken. He ran acrozs Cleveland, who was gaining great praise as the reform mayor of Buffa- 1o, 1t strack him that this was just the man—one who was backed by a good rec- ord and against whom neither faction could say anything. He went to work, canvessed the state, and found a good prospect. ‘Dan’ Lockwood brought out Cleveland, but he was merely an instru- ment in the hands of Apgzir. Apgar did more work toward canvassing the state in Cleveland’s interest for the presiden- tial nomination then any othér man. He appeared less prominently as Manning, but he isthe stronger man neverthe- less. ——— Girls and Coastings. * A Washington Star reporter gives the graphic pen sketch of bow & girl consts: “‘When called upon to describe @ young lady coasting the reporter’s pen- there Would be revelations in regard to Shaton’s wealth. Instead, those present tr d to a genuine sensation which culminated ina huge joke on Shiron's chief counsel, Gen, Barnes, BARNES' BOMDSHELL. When the case was called, Barnes aroso and stated that inssmuch as the judge had laid chief stress en the docu- ments in the case and Expert Gumpel's tostimony in rogard to thair genuinensss, he had affidavits to read which threw an interesting light on the way these docu- men{sandlet ers weroemanutacturedforthe plaintif. He then read with fine elccu- tionary effect, a long affidavit by Nelile Brackett, once Sarah’s chosen friend and confident, in which that young woman told at grent length tho process by which sho traced, over glase, the signature of the marrisge contract, making as many as twenty perfect copice, arftl [after bak- ing them in the oven to give them s look of age, sho erased with acld the word Hill from several letters and substitutea the more endearing cpithet of**Allis.” The story was very long and abounded in detatls which made it plausible, This was followed by a long aflidavi- by Sharon, in which he rzpeated his ast sortions that he never signed the mar- riage contract or recognized Sarahas his wife. To this was appended a document, the reading of which affected the court as though an earthquake had struck the building. This document wa3 nothing less than a contract between Tyler and Gumpel, the expert in chirography who was originally hired by Sharon and who aftorwards testified that in lis judgment the marriage contract and the ‘‘dear wife” letter were genuine, by which Tyler agreed to pay $25,000 if Gumpel would testify that the documents were not spurious, The contract was dated several weoks before Gumpel was called to the witness stand and bore the signa- tures of I'yler and Gumpel. Barnes 18 a good actor and he read their contrast for all it was worth. The judgs seemed paralyzed. His jaws dropped and he looked completely disgusted. WHERE THE LAUGH COMES IN, But Judge Tyler quickly swithed upon Barnes and seemed vo look on the affair as a joke. The judgo inelsted on Barnes taking the witness stand and tellingallhe knew about this astonishing contract. Barnes answered certsin questions, but refused to reply to others. Then Tyler offered to go cn the stand and tell what he knew about it. His story inbrief was this: About two wecks ago hia clerk, McLaughlin, wasapproach- Iife not yot passed the middle line, in tracklng down and bringing to justice that class of criminals who violate trusts reposed in them. In his present official capacity he has the duty in connectisn with his corps of assistants of securing the honest administration of the revenue derived from tho fifty thousand post- offices acattered throughout ths country. He ls, In consequence, brought in con- tact with what might be termed the higher class of criminals, man of good soctal position and character, who have through some influence gone wrong. The discovery of such cases of hreach of trust is always a shock to the public mind and generally a source of amazement to even their most intimate clrcle of friends and acquaintances. It is com- monly asked whas could bave beon their motive and the mental process by which they were enabled to carry on a syste- matic course of steating, and yet hold their heads high in the communily and astociate with henest people? The con- versation which a Star reporter had be- gun with Col. Sharp had roached the point which is indicated by the snswer given above. Refcrence had been made {0 thocase of Bruggeman, formerly a clerk in the postoffice department, who has just been sentenced to the peviten- tiary for stealing stamps, which, owing to some defect in the printivy of the sheets, had been sent to the department to be counted and destroyed. ““Take the case of Bruggemahn,” con- tinued the colonel. ‘‘He was an honest man and and an upright citizen; his great ambition in life epparently was to get together enough money to complete the payment on his house, and thus secure a bome for his family, in whose soclety he found his chi¢f happiness. When he saw this opportunity of making money his judgment undcubtedly condemned it. It told him that it was wrong, and that in the event of the discovery he would be ruined for life. But the desire for sudden acquisition, for the rapid cccumulation of money overcams hiz judgment. He had not the moral courage to resist the temptation, and ®o he fell. It was not because his judgment had proved defective, that his reason had failed him, but becauss this desire for money overpowered them and became the dominent influence in his life. T can well understand his slate of mind when in copr:, as the sentence was about to be imposed, he had nothing to say except blame for himself. “I think that I had the same feeling once myself,” added the colone', and then, seeing the look of surprise 1n the papers on his desk, and so the visitor yielded to the papers.

But she does this with such grace and catches up her dress with such pretty and as to make it appear one of the most natural and easy attitudes. Then, when the sled is shoved off and be- gins to gather momentum in its descent, she clings trustingly to the coat of the youny gentleman in front of her. When it begins to dash slong and strike fire out of the ground, she utters a little ecceam and throws her arm about his neck. Then, when ths eled iniis flight reaches its wildest speed, she screims louder and franttcally embraces the young mau, tightening the pressurs into @ regular hug, while he gallantly resolves to be equeezad to death sooner than per- mit a bair of her falr young head to be injured. Then the speed begins to slacken, and the hug s'akens also a litils bit. Then, gradually, the sled comes 1o a standstill, and the young woman, as she tekes her aims away from the yoang men, gives a sigh and exclaims: *Ob, ain't it jolly?” Then they trudge up the hill again to repeat the rame perform- ance 1t is noc noticeable that, though the young lady's fright Is not diminished at all by familiarity with the terrors of the ‘slide,’ the young gentleman con- tinues to submit to the treatment to which he is sabjected without a murmur,” e —— Making the Champion Liar Fiom Kansas Thiow Up the Sponge, Louisville Courier Journal, desk an agreement between Gumpel and Tyler by which the expert was to recaive ,000 for his testimony. Barnes said Detective Lees told him of the existence of such a contract. The clerk made s half promlte and then told Tyler all about it, Tyler then eaid: *“If they want a contract so badly we'll make one for them. You close with Barpes, and get all you can out of him, aad whatever you get you can keep for you salf.” So Tyler sot to work, drafted the contract which Barnes had read in court, obtalned Gumpel's signi- ture by practicing hours on it under Gumpel's tultion, and then, whén the paper had been all fixed in legal style, Clerk McLaughlin notified Barnes that ho had got hold of it and made anap pofntment, Then came tho question of compensation. Barnes had originally offered 500, but the clerk gradually raised him in auctioneer styls, until Barnes offered §: 0, thea $5,000, then $10,000, and as t, whan he actually saw the coveted document with which he expected to oyorwhelm his adversary, he Inst his head completely and produced 25,000 in crlsp thousand-dcllar bills, and they were transferred to the shrowd clork’s pocket while Barnes departed with the prize.

Friends came to me and expressed their sympathy and said that I must not stay in jail, and that they would get me out on,bail. But I sald no, that I did not want to get out. I knew that I had stolen the money, and that I was a thief, aud that I did not want to see any one that I vsad to know, but my only with was to stay and suffor the penalty of my crime, “I ueed to be an assistant warden in a penitentiary,” went on the speaker, after a brief pruss, *‘and in that capacity came in contact with a great many criminals, I have been told by thieves that when they first began to steal they were trou- bled in their minds to such an extent they could not sleep, and would be afraid to meet people in the siveets.
