Edwin James in Custody on a Charge of
Conspiracy.

NEW YoRK, May 31

The eventful career of Mr. Edwin James, ex-M.P. for
Marylebone, has been diversified by another incident. Ho
is now under arrest at New York on a charge of conspiring
to defraud. The prosecutor is a young Irish lawyer named
James Thos. Wilson; and James is charged, in conjunction.
with a man named Henry Hayward, with conspiring to de-
fraud him of $1,400. In February of the present year the
prosecutor arrived in this country from Queenstown. Ho
brought with him £lB4 in gold, which, at the then rate of
exchange, was worth nearly $2,900 in greenbacks. On the
9th March following he selected Mr. Edwin James, then.
practising as a counsellor at law at 293, Broadway, as the
most fitting person to consult upon the disposal of his
money. James assured him that if the Yankees knew he
had such an amount of money in his possession they would
rob him of every copper, and that the only safe course was
to leave the amount with him (James) for safe keeping.
Wilson readily adopted the suggestion, went to his hotel
for his money, and placed it in James's hands. He subse-
quently found a business he was desirous of purchasing,
but on two occasions James persuaded him not to complete
the transaction, promising to find him something better.
One day, about the 29th of March, he was introduced by
James to the second defendant, Hayward, whom James
repi esented to be a man of large means and doing heavy
business. Hayward himself stated that he had a soap ma-
nufactory and a Government paper-mill. The upshot was
that Wilson, who seems to have bubbled over with -confi-
dence, said he was quite satisfied with Mr. James's word,
and, without inquiry, engaged himself to Hayward as
salesman at a salary of $2O a-week, and a commission
guranteed to amount to $4O more. In return for these
advantages the man of large means and heavy business
required an immediate payment of $1,400, and Wilson re-
turned to James the deposit note he had taken when he left
his money in James's hands, and authorised James to pay
over the amount mentioned to Hayward. Hayward turned
out to be a man who owned neither soap-factory nor paper-
mill, but had been associated with James in certain trans-
actions, and to all the prosecutor's applications for salary
and employment, Hayward replied by referring him to
James, who, he said, had got the great part of the money.
These facts were proved this morning before Judge Conolly,
and the prisoners were held for further examination.—
