The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1872-08-02

in business that was realizing enor-
nous profits. He borrowed large sums
of money at enormous rates OF interest,
invariably upon short time, and always
repaid them before his obligations ma
tured. He kept large bank balance
at one of the Indianapolis National
banks, and established credit that
enabled him TO procure the indorse-
ments of some of the leading business
men of the place. No one knew his
business, and when asked by his in
dorsers what he was doing, he put them
off with evasive answers. He was muir.
dered Sept. II, 1868, and $27 900 of his
paper matured in bank on the 18th.
This amount was paid by his indorsers.
He was seen in bank the day he was
murdered with 81 500 in his pocket, and
one witness swore that Mrs. Glenn said
that Young had given her $4,000 in
the morning of the day of the murder.
These financial transactions Of Young's
covered period of six months, and
during the whole time he was visiting
Mrs. Clems house as often as two or
three times a week, and always when
her husband was at his grocery store.
Mrs. Clem's husband never met Young,
and never knew that his wife was &C.
ouainted with him until after the MUIR
der. Mrs. Glenn was also in the habit
of visiting Young's home two or three
times week in company with her sister
in. law, end when there she and Young
would retire TO an adjourning room,
where they would be engaged in con.
versation and writing for few minutes
When questioned by her sister.in-law
about the nature of her business rela-
tions with Young, she put her off with
indefinite answers. Meanwhile Mrs
Glenn and Young both had plenty Of
money. During the same period the
fortunes of her convicted accomplice,
, Abrams, who purchased the gun, began
: visibly to improve. He quit working at
, his trade, commenced loafing and Dor
rowing money at high rates of interest,
) kept a respectable balance in bank,
/ paid his bank paper promptly, and
spent good portion of his time visiting
Mrs. Clem's house. But the strangest
+ part of these financial insertions re-
mains to be told. DR.. Duzan, leading
l physician of indianapolis, and man OF
r wealth, had been acquainted with Mrs.
E Glenn since she was child, and had
{ always been her family physician. Be
r fore her arrest Mrs. Glenn had testified
: as witness in the grand jury room
/ and there positively asseverated that
e she had never had any financial deal
. ings with DR.. Duzan, and that he would
. not testify otherwise. All the leading
. bankers in the city were examined ano
/ compelled to produce the bank account:
: of DR.. Duzan, Young, the murdered
a man, and Abrams, Mrs. Clem's con
f federates. Mrs. Glenn kept no bank &c
j, count during these transactions.
A comparison of these bank accounts
revealed the fact that there were the
most intimate relations existing between
them. When DR.. Duzan would check
$4,000 out of his bank, Young would
make deposit of the same amount the
same day; and when Young would
, draw upon his bank balance, Duzan'
would be increased TO the same extent
1t was the same with the bank accounts
of Young and Abrams. DR.. Duzan
swore in all the trials that ne never
knew OF saw Young, and that he had
never had any dealings with him, direct
ly or indirectly. Duzan, however, had
large money transactions with Mrs
Glenn. She began by borrowing small
sums of $500 or $1,000 at a time fol
short periods Of seven 10 ten days, al
enormous rates Of interest, invariably
: returning the money with interest be
fore due, and telling Duzan that she
was engaged in large speculations with
leading business men in Indianapolis
and that she would tell him all about
it at the proper time. These loans in
creased until Duzan at one time al
vanced her over twenty thousand dol
lars, for which he took no receipt, note
{, or memorandum. 1t invariably hap
pened that the very day she would Oh
tain money from Duzan, Young would
= make a deposit of like amount or pay
off note in bank. As had been stated
! ST. 900 of Young's paper matured in

Four or five days before that time Mrs

Of mind, and, as he testified, wept bit

:. $4,000. Justat this time Duzan's bank
ers had become inquisitive concerning
