LoEDER AS A BLACKMALER.- Dcs-
ton Globe prints e letter from Mr.. w. H.
Morey, n gentleman Of standing in that
city, concerning Loeder, whose recent
affidavit is made public after the close of
the case for the defendant in the Beecher-
Tilton case. Mr.. Morey writes that he
knows Loeder too we'll, md continues:
During the year 1868, Mr. Joseph Locd-
or came to Boston and established n
small upholstery store in one of our
principal streets, and for six months did
n moderate business. He was good
workman himself, and his employees
were also good and apparently under
lady, living and moving in the best
South-end society, wanted something
done to her lanbrequins, sent for Loeder,
she having previously heard Of him and
his expertness in the trade through a
friend Of hers. Mr.. Loedcr came, esti-
mated the probable cost, and set the day
on which he should call for them. Every
thing 80 fnr was perfectly satisfactory.
Meanwhile this young lady's brother,
who had been absent for many years,
unexpectedly returned, and on the very
day, as it happened, that Mr.. Loeder
was to call for the curtains. Of course
he saw their affectionate embraces, for
this brother had always loved his sister,
and she wns rather demonstrative in her
actions toward him, since she had not
seen him for many years. The curtains
we're finally repaired, and Mr.. Loeder
received his pay, and for three days no.
thing was heard of him. At the expira-
ton of that time letter camo directed
to this lady, and was postmarkod Boston.
On opening it, and glancing at the sig
nature, she was greatly surprised to see
MIR. Loeder's name. The letter run thus:
My Respected Mrs. NJ IH-DEAn
MADAME: You will feel surprised in
hearing from me again, particularly
through letter. Nevertheless feel It
my duty in calling your attention to the
fact TINT while working Mt your house I
noticed many unladylikc demonstrations
on your part toward that gentleman. I
thought it very improper Mt the time,
especially az you were married lady.
Onklnd as it may appear, feel it my
duty to warn your husband, unless YOU
Immediately inclose S1O0 to INV address.
JOSEPH LOEDER.
The letter, being shown to the hus-
band and brother, nearly cnuscd Mr..
Loeder to get the top Of his head shot
OF, but finally both gentlemen were per-
suadcd to q mildcr course. Mr. Locdcr
was visited, told how wrong he was,
made to retract his unjust accusation mn
finally to leave the city for good.
