GAYNoR, THE PROSECUTOR, A BAD EGG.
BOSTON, July pa reporter this
morning obtained information about !
VIM. G Gsynor, who caused the arrest Of
Mr.. TiltOn, ia Brooklyn, and ascer-
tanned that he was formerly in the en-
ploy Of c. N. Everett & Co., OF the mer-
chants bureau for collections, as attor-
ney. 1t appears this firm hired Gayn0r
in the fall Of 1872, in Utica, where he
was employed as law-clerk, at salary
OF ten dollars q week. Everett & Co. gave
him about two thousand dollars yesr.
Gaynor remained here until January,
1874, when, failing to give satisfaction,
he was discharged. He next turned up
as attorney for another collection firm,
and Immediately commenced attempt
ing, so Mr.. Everett says, TO ruin his
{ (Everett's) business by sending letters
to his clients derogstory to him. Mr..
Everett says that about six hundred
such letters were sent out, specimens of
which be has in his possession, and he
declared every one of the charges to be
false. Gsynor brought suits against
Everett, but did not carry any of them
York or Brooklyn. Everett does not I
think Gayner is at all intimate with
General Butler, as has been reported,
but knows he was sn ardent Supporter
of that gentleman. Gaynor is twenty
seven years Of age.
