OF that name on Friday, Is known TO have con
yeyed the Boston forger, L. d. Wnsow, his wife and
child and his wies beyond the reach Of extradi-
tion treaties Wnslow purchased his tickets OF Messrs
Fritz Morris Co., No 50 Broadway on Thursday last,
the day which the steamer expected to sail
Owing lack Of freight the Rotterdam's departure
delayed, and when Winslow informed OF this
he appeared surprised and Hurried. He said that th
change the date other sailing might alter his plans
senay as he particularly desired leave that day
He left the Office without securing the passage which
he had seemed so anxious to obtain but returned in
couple Of hours and obtained four tickets for Mr. Cliff
ton, wife, son and wife's sister. He extremely
anxious to go on board the steamship that night and
asked II himself and family might be permitted do
so. His request granted, and they took possession
Of the staterooms assigned them early Thursday
afternoon and did not leave the vessel while she
NAMED port The luggage OF the party attracted
some attention from It's ghtness and paucty. He
very particular inquire If the steamship sailed under
the Dutch Nag, and when answered in the affirm
alive he seemed much pleased. Detectives Dear
born and Kealy found that he bad purchased
draft for $1,000 Oh a Rotterdam banking house
from anWntown firm Wlnslow asked Mr. Morris II
tere would be any other passengers the vessel and
was apparently gratihed that himself and companions
weae TO have the cabin TO themselves. He asked in
/
foreign port anc was answered that unless stress of
weather in the British Channel forced her
make Plymouth the Rotterdam would proceed directly
to her destination Mr. Morris noticed that the pocket
book from which Winslow produced the money with
which he paid for the tickets plethoric in its pro-
portions, and that there apparently remained in 1t
goodly store OF greenbacks When he first in
formed that the Rotterdam would not sail Thursday

CLEVER RUsE
The statement that winsow went the agent Of the
steamer Nelly Martin, which plies between New York
and Brazilian port for the purpose of securing pas
sage Tor himself and companions in tight not true,
and is considered by which he expected, with
the aid OF confederate, to throw the detectives oil
the real track intended to be pursued. Some person
did go to the office OF the steamer and to the vessel
itself and obtained information TO the date of her
departure but the agents OF the line and the officers OF
the Nelly Martin, on being shown the photograph Of
Winslow, at once pronounced that the man who had
visited them bore no resemblance 10 the portrait and
was OF much darker complexion The detectives are
OF the opinion that he was confederate Of Winslow,
already stated, and had been sent by the latter to
give coioI 70 nS theoIy INA. ne was enueaNoIlng 10
escape TO Brazil Wnslow during the last few days of
his stay in Boston having been openly seeking nlorma
tion concerning the South American Empire
The statement that O1cer Ham, of Boston, has been
assisting the detectives in their search for Information
is also incorrect oniccr Ham is not in the city, nor
has he been.
The party boarded the Rotterdam about halfpast
one T. NJ on Thursday and did not come on deck even

struck at the few pieces of baggage belonging to
the party and asked WInsow II the parcels in sight
constituted all the impedimentd Of the family Winslow
replied, semi ocular manner, that he had been in
the army and always kept in light marching order.
When buying the tickets of Mr. Morris he gave his
name simply as Mr.. CtOn the draft on Rotterdam
which he obtained he purchased in the name OF John
Clifton
Detective Dearborn is now endeavoring to ascer-
tain If Winslow transacted any financial business
during his short stay in this city and particularly
he has had any money deposit here.
If the banks and individuals IN Boston whom Wins
low had swindled and 20 whom he made restitution
the discovery of his forgcres had done their duty
and given HIM up to justice, he would not now be
ulting in his security from the wrath OF the dupes
whom he has outwitted
