CRIMINAL RECORD.
VINSLOWS FORGERIES AND BOG US STOCK
OPERA TIONS IN BOSTON,

Boston, Jan.-26.-The alleged over
issue of stock of the Boston Post Com
pany has seriously complicated matters
and holders of it as collateral cannot tell
whether their certificates are fraudulent
or genuine. Mr.. Winslow controlled the
board to suit himself, and as he did not
hesitate to forge the names Of persons to
notes, it is probable that he mapufactured
certificates and stock from the back part
of certificate books and it is said that
| It's shares of false stock are known to be
in existence. Mr.. Porter has found some
fraudulent certificates, which he will
turn over to the trustees to be appointed
to take charge of the Boston Post.
WoRCEsvER, MASS, Jan. 26.-The Ga
zette will publish the following statement
of L, w. Pond, manufacturer, who was
sentenced yesterday to the State prison
for heavy forgeries. He was personal
friend Of the absconding Winslow, of
Boston:
To the Editor Of the Gazette;
Having seen in the papers suggestions
of collusion between myself and E. D..
Winslow, l wish to state briefly that
neither Z. d. Winslow nor any other
person or persons had any knowledge or
interest in my Irregularities, neither did
l have any knowledge of or interest in
Mr.. L. D. Winslow's reported irregulari-
ties.
Boston, Jan. 26-This afternoon war
rants were issued by the Municipal
Court for the arrest of Winslow, on COM
plants of the National Exchange Bank
and Third National Bank, charging him
with forging and altering two notes of
$4,000 each. 1t is said some of the vic
timized banks have taken legal steps
against certain parties who were aware
of the Winslow forgeries weeks ago, and
condoned the ofense and kept silence
upon his taking up paper upon which
were their forged Endorsements.
Boston, Jan. 27.-The burglars who
entered the Northampton Bank Wednes-
day night first secured the Cashier in his
home and took from the keys of the
vault. The table of securities taken
shows total of $670,000. Of course
much of this is not negotiable, so that it
is difficult to estimate the real loss to the
bank and its depositors. The bank Off
GERS offer a reward of $4,000 for the re-
turn of the property and conviction of
the burglars The loss falls compare
lively light upon the bank, the greater
port of the securities belonging to spe-
Cial depositors.
E. D. wINsLow ESCAPES TO HOLLAND.
New York, Jan. 27.-Winslow, the
Boston forger, has been traced to the
steamship Rotterdam, which sailed with
him and family for Rotterdam on Friday
last. There is no extradition treaty with
Holland. Winslow's forgeries are not
figured as high as 100000. 1t is believed
that he has very little money with him
in his flight.

The Mississippi correspondent of the
Hartford COurant says the new Leglsla-
ture is zone of the ablest and best ever
elected in the State" The correspond
ent continues: "The impeachment of the
Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, and
the Superintendent of Education is per-
haps the most exciting topic of CONVEX
sation now. The Senate is SO divided
politically, the Democrats having just a
two-thirds majority, that unless they
stand together solidly, and vote as unit,
it would be impossible to convict upon
articles Of impeachment. The feeling in
favor of impeachment is very strong. No
articles will, however, be preferred un-
less the party is sure of success in con-
viction before the Senate; for failure
there could only be most disastrous
one."

OHIO PENITEN1LARY.

The following official statement will
show how slanderously the Democratic
management of the Penitentiary has been
abused;
1t gives the net excess of cash earnings
over all expenses for the series of years
since 1866, and will convince the most
incredulous that the recent attacks upon
the condition of the State Penitentiary
were utter misrepresentation, designed
to besmirch and influence public opinion
against a management which has been
the most creditable the State has ever
known within the history ofthe institu-
tion of which it has had charge. The
following is the statement Of net earn
ings for the years named:

THE YOUNGSTO WN HORROR
STERLING HELD TO BAIL.

YoUNGsrowN, January 26.-The pre-
liminary hearing in the case of Charles
Sterling, accused of the murder of Eliza
beth Gronebacher, on Friday last, who
who was found dead in thicket near the
highway leading to Poland, about three
miles south of this city, was held to-day
before Justice Mckee. The evidence is
circumstantial but strong. Sterling was
held for trial at the Common Pleas and
his commitment ordered. The girl was
about fourteen years of age and had left
her mothers house only few hours be-
fore she was found. She was killed by
strangulation and her person had been
outraged. The trial was held in Excel
sior Hall, which was packed, and crowds
could not obtain admission. Great ex-
element prevails.

Gentlemen-I must make a statement

guilty of killing the two men. My pun
ishment is just l hope all of you will
forgive me. pray God will judge and

He then read a poem of twenty-four
stanzas which he had composed for the
occasion. Printed copies of it had been
in circulation all the morning, and not a
man, woman or child in Marion was to
be found without one. The following
are specimen stanzas, which | copy with
eXactness from the original manuscript
When arrested then was took
By Frank Lowe you know him well
Then for reward he did look
Which he would get i'll did tell
Then for witness was sent
gainst two men you all no
ToJoliet allen ort not went
John bulliner thought or togo ,3.
To the Marion jail was took
And their we stay for while
Then for my trial did not look
Then an affdavid did file
Tho god and christ are in my creed
And life or death forever
This may be mine the sinful greed
That through its conquest never
will not then of creeds make boast
Which ever lip may fashion
Nor let my soul be torn and tost
By fierce polemic FASHION
Enough that this faith maintain
Which god within me teaches
Which conquers self through christ and pain
The life eternal reaches.
When he had finished reading he bow
ed to the people, walked steadily to the
west end of the hall, and took his stand
upon the drop. The ministers who had
attended him came forward; one ad-
dressed few words ofadmonition to the
small gathering, hymn was sung, in
which the doomed manjoined with spirit,
the death warrant was read, and the
hempen instrument of death was ad-
iusted about Grains neck. The Deputy
Sheriff asked Grain, "Have you anything
to say" To which he replied, 'I am
guilty of the murder of William Spence"
and after a pause he added, "and also
of George w. Sisney That is all l have
to say"
THE CLOSING SCENE.
The white cap was pulled over his face,
and he had taken his last look at earthly
things. A sharp blow with a hatchet
severed the rope that held the drop, and
the body Of the murderer fell four feet
with sickening "thud," and in half an
hour it was placed in the coffin and de-
livered to relatives who had come to re-
ceive it.
Marshal Grain was twenty-seven years
old. He became member of the Hen
derson faction just after Dave Bulliner's
but withdrew. He then
joined the Bulliner party, having learned
that they were after him. In a CONVEX
8ation held with him last night, he said
that Sam Musick was with him when
Spence was shot, that he shot both Sis
ney and Spence because he hated them,
and that the Bulliner boys had promised
him 5000 to do the work. They had paid
him $l95. He regretted that he had
sworn falsely against Allen Baker. The
Bulliners, he said, had given Mart. Dyal
and Jonas j. Elton, two desperate char
lcters. Sl50 each TO kill Henderson
