| ROMANIIC.-SiXteen years ago two friends
| named respectively Bonner and Stone, lived in
Jersey City. The former was detected in the
act of counterfoiting money, for which the lat
ter "cut" him. Bemer removed to New ork
aud induced Mrs. Stone to accompany him,
| with her infant boy. The pair got married in
| Gotham. Last February Mrs. Stone Remer
died, leaving Bemer two children bearing his
| name, though the eldey was Stones son. Young
| Stone, about three years since, found himself
| engaged in turning over the register of his
mothers family Bible, when lol his eyes fell
upon two entries which made him stare. He
| ran to his "ma," and with the earnestness of n
"seeker after truth" began to PROFOUND such
questions as quite confused and cornered the
poor woman. She, however, set his doubts at
rest by telling him his father was dead But
when Mrs. Bemer was on her death bed she
told her son, Stone, that his father was alive,
warned him of Bemer, and further told him
that she had laid up in the Savings Bank S598,
which, together with some furniture and Jew
elry, she made over to him by will.
After the funeral, Bemer succeeded in OBJ
| tanning the boys permission TO draw the mo-
ney, which was then deposited il, Bemers
name; and the boy, on his part, hunted up and
found his father. Old Stone, desirous of Sc
curing the furniture for his son, took advantage
of Bemer's absence to remove a portion of it,
for which he was arrested on charge of grand
larceny, preferred by Bemer. The boy then
stated that his mother died suddenly, which
led to Bemer's arrest ON a suspicion of poison
ing. The body of Mrs. Bemer is to be ex-
humed. Both of the decoased's husbands are
in duranoe vile.
