"a RETIRED GENTLEMAN"

Curious Tale Of Murder and RObbery-LlVlHg In
QuIet and SubIiStlng by Burslarles His Final
Capture.
We are glad to be able to lay before our
readers the following interesting partic'
ulars of the career of Charles Peace, the
Peckham burglar, since the murder Of
Mr.. Arthur Dyson, at Bannercross, on
the night of the Goth of November, 1875.
His career in this life, II is said, was
closed, for he had made away with him.
self. But Peace was not such fool as
that, for he had no sooner finished the
murder than he took to his old game OF
burglary, a vocation which appears to
have had curious attraction for him.
Subsequent events have proved that
Peace went to Hull, and there replaced
his waning funds by breaking into a gen.
tleman's house, from which he extracted
large quantity of plate and valuable
jeWelry. From thence, after realizing
on his spoil, he repaired to Nottingham,
where near relative resides, and with
her he took up his quarters. Although
it was we'll known that there was a
heavy reward offered for his apprehen.
sion, it did not seem that any of his rel
atives considered it advisable to state
who was in the midst of them. After
effecting very clever warehouse rob-
berry, in which silk goods were the prin-
Cipal booty, Peace appears to have then
considered that his proximity to Shelf
field was dangerous, and he again chang
ed his abode. Thus it will be seen that
the Sheffield authorities were correct
when they stated that they had traced
the man to Hull, brit there had lost
sight of him. 1t was believed that he
had escaped to the Continent. But not

Royalty in Europe is alarmed, and
may have reason to be. The Chief Of
the German police claims to know that
a widespread conspiracy against royalty
exists; and it would appear the attempts
upon the lives of the Emperor of Ger
many and the King of Italy and the
King Of Spain, as well as the successful
attempts at assassination of police Off
Cias in Russia, are the work of an organ
ization which has lis rami6cations ex-
tending practically all over the world
Even some political murders in South
America are said to be traced to
the same source. The men employed
commit the murders, not at all aware
that they are the tools OF the powerful
organization which employs them but
when, as in Russia, women are made as
sassins, they are entrusted with more
accurate knowledge. The Chief of Po-
lice at Kietf, was murdered a few weeks
ago, killed on the open highway, in the
daytime, by one of two fashionably
dressed ladies, who, after engaging him
in conversation for a moment, drove a
dagger into bis heart, To the people
who saw the murder the companion of
the murderess said: "He has received
his due reward, Take care if you are of
his kind, lest you should be so ended"
The report, it is understood, says that in
this case, as in others, the murderess has
escaped arrest, not because she is un-
known, but because sher arrest would
cause great scandal and do more harm
than good.

John Ward" which the prisoner as
serted was his cognomen, somehow did
not appear satisfactory. At this time, il
must be remembered, there was no sus
plcion that the man was any thing but
burglar and to prove his guilt as such
was the effort of the officer. To find out
his name was very difficult, but after a
fortnight's search Bonney discovered
that the prisoner was a respectable
gentleman" who, at Lambeth, Green
wich and PeCkham, had passed as Mr..
Johnson" The last residence of this
Mr., Johnson, otherwise Peace, was at
No. 5 East Terrace, Evelina road, Peck
ham, most respectable neighborhood,
the house a really comfortable one, and
a good garden in front. The Inspector
prosecuted his Inquiries, and found 92
pawn tickets in the dwelling. These
tickets mostly related to property stolen

AT GREENWICH.

Night after night the houses of leading
residents in that locality were broken
open, and quantities of plate, jewelry and
valuables, of that description were stolen.
The gang" who did it were evidently
good judges, and selected very carefully
before removing any thing. Then the
police became indignant, the public
blamed the police, letters to editors
were freely penned, but still the depre.
dations continued. Then came lull.-
Peace, the single-handed perpetrator of
all these daring robberies, had taken
time to consider, and had decided to
again change his residence. But be had
grown in riches as result of his past six
months rObberies, and he decided on
taking better house, one with a more
substantial look of respeCtability about
it, so he went to Peckham, and not being
satisfied with one lady as his "house.
keeper" he changed his fancy along
with his circumstances, and adopted an
other lady in his family as companion
to the frst He was now possessed of
good house, two matrons and servant,
but in addition to that, he determined
ON refurnishing his home. This home"

GOES UP TO LONDON.

On reaching London, some four or five
months after the murder, he was not
very well off for money, and he took up
his residence in Lambeth. The police
in charge of this district then became
aware that night after night the most
audacious depredations were committed
in the district. There was scarcely a
night passed but a burglary was an
nounced, and in as even a succession the
statement followed that the thieves had
not been caught. The value of the
booty thus secured was exceedingly
great, and the thieves, for they were
then believed to be gaDg-were said to
be well rewarded for their audacity.-
But the place appears to have become
too hot for him, and he then removed to
Greenwich, where he occupied beauti-
full house and commenced to furnish it
in a most expensive manner. Whatever
Peace failed in it was not in the want of
self-assurance and thaBbelief that he
could pass through society as a gentle
man. Though he had repusive features
he appears to have had winning ways in
the eyes of some, for he now appears to
have decided on engaging a lady to share
his improving fortunes. This "lady"
may, perhaps, figure elsewhere shortly,
and her name will then be found in TIE
police record. But the establishment
could not be kept up without "ineans"
and again came the last resort. Peace
had described himself to the sphere of
respectable neighbcrs, among whom he
now moved as a gentleman Of inde-
pendent means" and be was looked up
to as one who had done well 10 the
world. But there were more burglaries
in the neighborhood, and Greenwich
became almost as noted for these classes
of depredations as Lambeth had been.-
But there was this difference that while
the middle class" people of Lambeth
dare only report their troubles to the
police, and were not allowed the privil.
ege of complaining in the columns of the
dailies, the Greenwich "whiebaits" wo'd
not sit down so calmly with this dis
graceful state of things.
