HIgh Life tn New YOrk-A Queer story.
Mr.. Stokes, who was arrested some
days ago as an alleged embeZzler, and who
has since been proclaimed rival of Fisk,
Jr., in the affection of one Mrs. Lawlor.
makes, through his counsel, the following
statement
He claims that the present litigation
| grows solely from the jealousy entertained
of him by James Fisk, Jr., in regard to
| the presumed preference expressed for his
| (StokesO society by Mrs. Mansfield Lawlor.
q former actress, and wife of Frank Law
| lor. the actor.
| Mr.. Stokes claims TO have been on friend
ly terms with Mrs. Lawlor long before Mr..
Fisk made her acquaint tance, and that it is
no secret that, although Mr.. Fisk is pas
| sionateIy attached to the lady In question,
and has lavished on her houses, diamonds,
and Erie stock. she by no means recipro-
Gated his attachment but has abandoned
his protection repeatedly and finally, al
though Fisk has, with tears in his eyes
(her afidavit), besought her to remain,
has left him permanently. Fisk refuses
to believe that the lady has wearied of him.
but attributes all her fantasies to the in
} reference of Mr.. Stokes.
The fnancier first avenged himself on
his rival by canceling all Stokes heavy
contracts. amounting to over $50, 600 a
year, with the Erie Railroad. Then, find
ing that Stokes was not ruined, Fisk en-
r deavored to conciliate him, and on the
/ Goth Of October. 1870, an interview took
place between the two at Delmonico' 8
, which was adjourned to the residence of
/ Mrs. Lawlor and which did not terminate
4 till three and a half o'clock the next morn
D ing, and even then in a manner unsatis-
4 factory to Fisk.
Finding Stokes troublesome, and Law
g lor obstinate, Fisk proceeded to sex re
8 venge" himself by endeavorinR to "oust
a Stokes from his share in the oil works on
Long Island, owned jointly by Fisk
- Stokes, Hardy and Byers. When Stokes
: $125, 900 Mr.. Hardy abse nted himself, and
when at last Fisk gave Mr.. Stokes an or
T. a der of transfer on Mr.. Byers. the latte
- repudiated Mr. Fisk's order. At last Mr.
:. Stokes followed the precedent set him b,
=. Mr. Byers, and collected what money b,
- could of the firms debt to protect himself
= for which course the charge of embezzle-
] ment and forgery was brought against him
# Stokes claims that since his release on bal
a the Fisk party have offered him $110, 00(
to compromise the suit, and to purchas,
$ g his interest in the oil bonds. and also Il
q pay him $12 600 O year rental for th.
ground on which it stands. This offer ha
becn declined.-N. Y. Tribune.
