i gres. From the New YorkHerald.l ~
The arrest last Friday, of James X. Polk
Perry, member Of the Newark gambling
fraternity, in that city, on a requisition
granted by Governor Geary, of Pennsyi-
vania, was duly noted in the Herald, to.
gether with the main facts, as alleged, OF
the case. Yesterday Perry returned to
Newark, having procured the necessary
$1,000 bail for his liberation from PRISON
in the city Of Brotherly Love, pend
ing his trial next September he
tells his side. of the story. which,, ~hlfe
it does not relieve him OF the disgrace
Of being O. professional gambler nor tne
Odium Of being an associate OF snaIpers.
certainly does put less CRIMINAL ilght on
his heroic exploits, and invests his story
with a dash of romance Of a certain charac-
ter. He is really quite a good-looking
Young man. with an honest, open face, and
gets up a toilet regardless OF expense.
Durinr the war he served with credit.
Here. on the tented field he acquired an
extraordinary passion for poker "seven
up" and such like games. Some year or so
ago in Trenton he contracted an acquaint-
ance with beautiful daughter of Pennsyl-
yania, named Lottie Willis. LOttie was the
Cora Pearl Of Trenton and was notorious
for her dashing style and afaires du c9ur,
By and by, LOttie removed to the congo
NAL air Of Chicago, and while an inmate OF
gilded palace of sin became acquainted
with W. H. Strader, well-to-dO merchant
OF Cincinnati, Ohio. Him she fascinated
and dazzled to such degree by her varied
accomplishments that nothing would satisfy
him but matrimony. Prior, however, to
this suspicious event, he loaned her mag
nifcent diamond ring, valued at $3.50, stud
ded with nine brilliants, and while the gay
Lottie was in Pennsylvania on q visit to her
mother at Morlisville, "Poke" Perry turned
up, and, in order to raise some funds, she
gave him the ring to pawn. He did so, got
$3.50 on it, and as he alleges, spent it all
with her. part of the money being used
to build fence around her mothers house.
Meanwhile Strader and Lottie united their
fortunes in the bonds of holy wedlOck but
it seems she could not tear from her heart
of hearts the image Of young Perry. In
deed it is averred by Perry's friends she
was as equally infatuated about Poke" as
Strader was about her. Poke had mean
while made a determined effort at reform
and made the acquaintance OF an excellent
Young lady Of the Ninth Ward of Newark,
the daughter Of member of the New Jer-
sey Legislature, and before long anticipated
being married to her. Lottie logged him
night and day, however. and finally Stra-
der fairly frmed with jealousy, and as a
dernier resort, Perry's friends declare,
trumped up the charge of larceny against
him, and hence his arrest. Several leading
citizens of Newark have now come forward
in behalf of the accused and announce their
intention to fight his cause to the bitter end.
