The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1876-01-31

1--WE have not the heart or wish to comment
upon the painful news which we present
this morning in relation to matters involv-
ing the character andintegrity of him whose
name has heretofore been so prominently
identified with the News. We would tbere
were a possibility of making an explanation
OF the facts which would be consistent at once
with truth, and with the further mainten-
ance by Mr. WinsloW of his integrity. But
we know OF no such explanation which IS
possible. In the details the story told BY
contemporary may not be strictly accurate
-as 10 the general truth OF the story, We
suppose it must be admitted. We have no
apologies to make for hin, and will not at
tempt 20 palate the wong he has done to
Others-snd most OF al 10 himself and his
friends. We can not forget his many good
qualities OF head and heart, nor the warmth
of our ats schmeDt. cemented as it has been
by years OF intimate association with HIM
years in which we
HAD OFTEN TESTED HIS FRIENDSHIP,
and had never, until now, known it TO fail.
Because of this attachment our heart pro-
tests against recording, in the paper be has
done so much to establish, the verdict OF our
judgment upon his acts. We leave him to
the people, to his conscience and to his God.p
The absent financier appears to have msde
ample provision for his SOD, as on the 18Th
OF January conveyance was made from
Henry @. Wetherell, OF Boston, TO Susan G.
Aver, sister-in-law of Winslow, of house
and land on Beacon street, near Clarendon,
valued at 10000, and su bject to q mortgage OF
SIS, 500, held by the Boston Five Cent Saw :
ings Bank, which was purchased at auction
from Whestland & Bird, by Messrs. Smith &
Morgan, as agents. This deed was recorded
the same date, and provides that the estate
shall be held in trust for Arthur +. Winslow,
son of = ID. Winslow, until he shall srrive
at the age OF twenty-one years and shall not
be disposed of or cold unless by the consent
of his father, Ezra ID. WinsiOw, or his
proper legal guardian under authority of
court; but the assent of the father shall b.
sufficient at any time to pass title and
transfer the above property by deed from
the said trustee. Upon the original deed is
this Endorsements: PLEASE don'T allow this
to be published"
HIS LAST PUBLIC APPEARANCE
as preacher was at Auburndale, on Sunday
morning of last week, where he delivered a
sermon which is described by those who
heard it as mastery production, full of
eloquence, pathcs and high moral senti-
ment, its theme being the good that IS TO be
iound among men, the nobleness of human
nature and the duty of men to
their fellOw-men. Ia the afternoon he ad-
dressed the children OF the Sunday School
on heir duties TO each other and 70 their
God; impressing upon them the beauty and
necessity OF devotion TO duty and Of dealing
v ith those around them in eccoTdancs
Herewith. A very funny episOde-to
DISTINGUISHED spectator-of this sad business
was presented yesterday in ths establish
ment of one OF the gentlemen whose name
Mr.. Winslow has used rather lsvlshly on
the back of notes. A man entered and
addressing the proprietor informed
him that he held a note bearing his
name as indorser, aud wished 20
inquired about it. mo, you DON'T"
very decidedly remarked the mercbaui: 81
haven't noe out in the world except one,
and that gentleman over there can tell you
all about it," But, sir, isn't this our
name?" asked the holder ofthe paper, show
ing the Endorsement. Yes it's my name,
but it isn't my signature; didn't write it.
THAT'S the work OF thief, and it isn't WORT h
the paper stock. Sorry for you; but it's not
my fanersl," was the reply. The crest
fallen victim retired and in rapid succession
ssco nd, third and a fourth entered with
similar documents for various amounts and
each received q similar reply.
