“HOT AFTER THE HOAX FIEND, —_——_ HE WILL GET AT LEAST A HORSEWIIPPING WHEN HE I8 FOUND, Indignant Re! and Mise Lillian H. Stokes aro Camping nod the Publication of the Bogus Marriage onthe Trail of Youth Who Notice—Mr, RB ines Der ‘The Dodge, Stokes and Phelps families are still in a state of exasperation and excitement over the cruel hoax perpetrated on them by the bogus advertisement in yesterday's papers of the marriage of Walter Phelps Dodge and Miss Lillian H. Stokes, A united effort is being made by Mr. Au- gustus D, Juillard, Mr. Thomas Stokes, Miss Btokes’s father; Mr. George E. Dodge, the ‘uncle of the young man, and Mr. William E. Dodge to track down and expose the perpe- trator of the outrage. ‘The person on whom they will ultimately rely for the detection of the criminal is Robert J. Bassett, of 207 West Twenty-fifth street, the youth employed in ‘Tourtelotte’s stationery store at 1215 Broadway, who took the notices to the newspaper office. His statement is that between 6 and 6 o'clock Saturday afternoon a well-dressed young fellow, about twenty years of age, light-complexioned and about five fect six inches in height, camo into his employer's store and wrote out a notice of the bogus marriage. Then, on the plea that his fingers were so cold that he could not write plainly, he asked the lad to rewrite them in triplicate and take them around to three uptown newspaper ices, He gavo the boy a 5 bill to pay for the advertisement and $2 in addition for his trouble. He stood in the doorway of the store and watched the boy start on his errand, but left before Bassett caine bac! The boy declares his ability to identify the young man who employed him, He will be called upon to do this at the proper time. All the gentlemen namefl met at 183 Fifth avenue this morning to decide what course they would pursue. : ir. Thomas Stokes said that they had apretty well defined suspicion as to who caused the publication which had given the family e0 much pain, but they had not had Waid tb te the proof, and for the present de- 6 to say anything. “ Wethink that it was undoubtedly the work of some college acquaintance of Walter Dodge, and this belief is confirmed by the fact that a few days ago one of them whom he met on the street intimated that some of the boys had put up ajokeon him for New Year's Day. **T will not say just at present what is the name of this young man.” “If your suspicion in regard to this par- ticular individual proves to be unfounded, what course shall you pursue ?” he was asked. ** We shall offer a reward and shall proba- put the matter in the hands of the ico,” was the reply. We would spend a ‘ood deal of money to discover the author of outrage.” “What could you do to the man. if you should find him and prove his guilt con- clusively ?” “T don't qnite know what remedy there would be at law, because I have not looked up the matter. But the man who did this ing richly deserves a horsewhipping, and Ithink that some friend of my daughter or the young gentleman would be quite ready to inflict condign punishment on him at very short notice.

As soon as Mr. Robbins heard of the insin- ‘uations he called on the young lady's father and warmly protested his innocence. Then he went to Englewood, N. to make the same statement to Mr. Walter Phelps Dodge, Mr. Stokes and Mr. George E.
