It seems that JENKINS ,Ln

all vEaId for bis position OF famnuy, aua
PLUNGED Into dissipation careless Of tho eye
Of The world. which was ever fixed upon him.
Ac Tas NOT content to frequent the most
ylest concert saloons the scenes OF hlsrevels,
IN one Of his tours throughout the city he
CHARGED to call In the place known as the
:" EutekA," where he met. for the 6tst time,
Genevlcve Lyons dlios We've Brewer. who
was introduced to him by Young Charles
may be briefly stated. An oEcr was made
and accepted, and GenevleYe. the wa.ter.girl
became Nine. Drowet. the ,(enne <ntrtnuc.
But the posas gsfon of new faYpSita did not
prevent jenkins from making his nightly
risits t. the more or less notorious dens Of
y1ce. he Was m asslduous attendant at the
Branch Coucett Saloon, )" located at the cor.
the circle in which he moved was usually
composed Of one John Dunn, man named
Duscnhury and Charles Brown. About 1
ytar since he determined upon d change OF
heatquarters, and visited nightly the "Lou-
ue,na the corner Of Twenty second street
ard Broadway: At these two saloons he be-
came acquainted with a waitress, named
Lizzie Lewis, to whom be handed some i've
bundled dollars with another, named Mary
Odel, and finally he took to third, to whom,
II report spenks truly, he gave about seven
hundred dollars. Meantime additional money
of, the Pheni1 Bank WAS being invested ii
wine and at the gaming table, and the
mounts paid to tbs girls did not appear ex-
orbitant when compared with the sums done
away with during his long continued rcyelH.
The scenes which transptred repeatedly at
the various concert saloons which thede-
faulter "hono1ed" with his presence cannot
here be recounted. Suffice 1t to say that bis
actions on suudry occasions were such Rs to
warrant his Immediate arrest and subsequent
trial ON charges with which the records Off
police court arc but rarely suliied., The very
fact OF the occurrence Of such events eeems
sufficiently to demonstrate the partially il.
sane condition OF the man.
OF all the houses of ill-fame which. IN the
cou1se Of four years. career of vice, he
CHANGED to frequent, mona waB 30 often bene-
fitted by his visits as the establishment of
Mrs, Bell. iu Crosby street. In this place his
fayorite sultana appears to have. been

$8a0. formed or seven magnificent bri!ltnuts
When the detective called upon Rosa he no. :
: tictd her linking the precious jewel from her
finger and handing 1t to the proprietress Of
the house, apparently for safe keeping. Hc
that The Eiri might hare some knowledge Of
events till then Withheld from the police, AT
rtsted her. The GIL Was, however, diEchare-
cd, and returned to Mrs. Bells minus the
diamcpde. She subsequently stated that the
ring had been bought with money given her
by others, though Jenkins declared that Rosa
had in bank one thousand dollars which he
had given her en- different occasions. The
EG1 vas wiling to swear that tha detaulter
had been less prodisal of his fortune In the
establishment than most Of her visitors, and
added that he had "promtsed to set her up In
a house In few months" which promise
vas the only tic that had bonnd her to him.
Rosa further charged that though jenkins
bad called on her repeatedly he had aleo paid
frequent visits TO Mrs. Bell herself. ID lis
conversation with the girl be had moro than
once alluded to the threatening letters he
had received. and In fine, had acted as
though the inmates were all more Or less
thorouRhly initiated in the secrets Of his psi-
vate at1als. The men, Dunn and Brown,
had, It would appear, called several times a.
.Mrs. Bells place, and had invariably eudeay-
oEed to lntimldatc jenkins, who dreaded
their exposures, and never attempted to
conceal bis terror. He ianctcd that the girl
placed, and appeared rather surprised at her
not taking advantage Of bis wretched situa-
t'Gn. Imagining, therefore, that she Was
fully Gu fail Of all his transactions, be m7de
her the above promise as the best means by
which to silence her In case detection en-
. Eued. In reality mons Of the inmates Of tho
louse we're awhfe that be was employed at
the Phenix Bank, and Rosa Allen informed

Will, little suspecting the catastrophe which
was to result in the death OF Earle and the
jeopnrdi1ing OF Jenkins liberty.
Kosa Allen stated yesterday that she did
not intend that the arrest Of detaulter
should deprive her OF her property, and ugg-
