From the New York World. june l.
For some four years past young female,
the particular protege of a wealthy and
prominent banker Of this city. has been
practicing most surprising and successful
deception on the community at large by
assuming the dress and aping the manners
of one of the sterner sex, but unfortunately
for herself she came to grief yesterday by
an ignOminious arrest at the hands of a lynx
eyed Sergeant of Police This young wo-
man, known to her intimate female friends
as Julia, but rejoicing in the cognOmen Of
Morgan among her deceived male aequaint-
ances, is a beauty Of the brunette order;
but her features are, as may be supposed, of
the masculine type, yet not sufficiently so
to render her at all less good looking She
is Of the medium height, well formed, yet
has none Of that popularity of form which
renders deception IN such cases almost iu1-
possible She wears her hair cut short and
parted at the side and back, and usually has
it brushed we'll forward. If the stories
about this remarkable woman are to be
credited-and they come from authentic
sources-she has not worn the usual dress
Of her sex for nearly four years past, but
has constantly appeared both IN public and
private, IN male attire Of the latest style and
most expensive materials During all this
time she has been in the company or the
wealthy banker mentioned above, who les
IaVished large sums Of money upon her to
crafty her peculiar Whim Of cOunterfeiting
a fast young man. As the nephew Of the
banker, she had been introduced into some
of the best families IN this city, and has
necessarily been on intimate terms with the
fast young bloods about town, and has been
their COMPANION IN many a "spree." In
the character she assumed she spent her
money freely, drank champagne cocktails,
and smoked cigars with the fastest Of her
boon companiOns, and occasionally INDUCED
in a swear" Her uncle" supplied her
with the needful to crafty her eztravagant
tastes and many Of the blOOds about town
will remember the champagne suppers sue
ceeding visits to the opera at which Charlie
Morgan acted the host with such natural
felicity that her real sex was not for mo-
ment suspected During the summer the
unels, accompanied by his charming
nephew" made the rounds Of the watering
pIa es where the nephew paid such court
to the fair ladies as to cause many a heart
ache Her team was the fastest and the
most stylish on tue road, and she handled
the ribbons with such mastery hand that
ride behind her spanking team was con
sidered so great boon that the ladies almost
fought for the privilege.
Another singular phase of the case Is,
that Charlie Morgan was always a favored
and acceptable visitor at the fashionable
nzats0ns dc joie in this city, and there is
no doubt that some Of the queens of the
dsDlj monde were in her secret.
But her career VAS doomed to an abrupt
termination. Sons time ago this -enterpri-
sing young female was a guest at the New
York Hotel registered as Charles F. Nor
gan, and was frequent visitor at the haunts
of the dsn2i monde in the fifteenth ward
During her perambulations by night and day
she attracted the attention of Sergeant Lu-
cien-P Fields, of the Acknowledgements who
thenceforward kept a strict watch upon her
movements whenever she went abroad Be
coming convinced that Charlie Morgan, who
was well-known by reputation throughout
the ward, was a wORIan In male attire, ne
determined to arrest her en- the first oppor-
tunIty, and yesterday afternoon the Sergeant
carried his resolution into effect. Charlie"
had just left the fashionable resort kept by
Louise WalcOtt, IN Nelson. place. when she
was seen by the Sergeant who at once ar.
rested her. She treated the arrest very
coolly, laughed at the absurd idea that She
was anything but what she appeared to be,
and so noncllulant was she, and so perfect
her disguise, chat the Sergeant was for
moment staggered. &c, however took her
to the station-house, where she gave her
name as Charles T. Ward, to which the
police added the aliases Of Morgan and
Julia. BY order of Captain Ga6rey, she was
locked up in one Of the rooms Of the station
house She was attired in black broad
cloth lrocl coat, dark vest, cut low, to show
a broad plated shirt bosom adorned with
handsome diamond studs, light cashmere
pantaloons, patent leather boots, and fine
black Derby hat All these articles were of
the finest quality and most exquisite cut.
She also ore a heavy gold neck chain and
an elegant gold watch. Her entire outfit
was perfect, and her appearance would stand
the closest scrutiny. She really appeared
to be a fast beardless youth Of perhaps
eighteen summers She persisted for some
time that she was a man, but on PROPOSE
ton being made looking to a personal ez-
animation, she admitted the truth. In the
meantime her friends had heard of her mis-
hap, and were making extraordinary efforts
to procure her release. Miss Louise Wa
colt called and had q long interview with
her, and numerous other friends called
Finally, the services Of Justice Ledwith
were procured, and that o ficial called at the
station-house to order her discharge but
that being contrary to police regulations, the
Magistrate proceeded to the Jefferson Mar
ket Police Court, where he opened court and
him. Captain Caffrey produced the pris-
oner, and after hearing the complaint Of
! Sergeant Fields the Magistrate repTlmanded
Julia and discharged her. She left the court
room accompanied by bevy of friends, and
it is thoughtwiH not be caught in such a
scrape again.
This is one Of the most remarkable cases
/ of the kind on record; and 1t is almost in
credible that the girl could have practiced
j,
long time without detection.
1t is said that Grant intends to spend the
! summer on farm near st Louis He had
better take up his permanent abode there
