CHICAGO, Aug. 18.-That there has been |
woman in the Of G. W. Angen defaulting |
secretary of the Pullman company, there now |
seems no doubt, but the exact extent to which |
his downfall is attributable to the fair sex is |
not yet made certain. 1t appears that he had
for some time been on very intimate relations
with girl called
SADIE WILSON,
formerly of New York city, who is an inmate
Of Carrie Watsons bagnio in this city. An in
terview with Miss Wilson shows that Angel
was a frequent visitor to that resort of ill
fame; that he went there to see this Sadie,
very youthful and pretty brunette; that he
spent some money on her, but gave her no jew
els as the girl would not take them. The girl
was also interviewed and said that
SHE LOVED CHARLIE;
that he. had seen her in the street and called
and inquired for her without an introduction
He told her she resembled his dead wife. He
used to call very often and then she used to go
to his room at the Palmer house. slipping in
attired in short dresses and looking like q
child. They were in the habit of riding to-
gether on the boulevard, she meeting him alter
dark. She says Angel very good to her.
but she would not take his money as she felt it
would be robbing his child. Henever gave her
more than few hundred dollars. 1t appears
that this is not
ANGELES FIRST SHORTAGE.
A few years ago he fell behind about so, 500
in his accounts. The company, while some
what worried over it, allowed it to run along,
and finally wiped it out by increasing his sal
airy and offsetting the increase for time until
the shortage was made good. 1t cannot yet
be ascertained whether any of the Pullman
stock was forged and hypothecated with bank
ers here. 1t would have been very easy mat
ter for him to have raised funds in that way.
AS soon as he was gone steps were taken to
apprehend him on his arrival in London or
Paris, but there is no report as to the result.
The child which he leaves behind is in care of
her grandfather, A G. Badger. of Chicago.
Angel had been in the employ of the company
about fourteen years. Since the death of his
wife, three years ago, he became acquainted
with
YOUNG LADY
at Kenosha, the daughter of A. M. Smith, Esq.
April he asked her to become his wife, which
| she refused-and this it is said, led him to
| lead a life Of dissipation. His chief failing
was his love of association of fast women
| The money he took away consisted of between
| $50, 600 and 100000 currency and upwards OF
1000 in bonds of the Pullman Palace Cal
company and other securities, which he sold in
New York previous to his departure for foreign
ports. 1t is pretty generally understood thai
| he had had this departure in contemplation fol
some time, and that he had selected as the
moment of his departure time just prior tt
| Mr.. Pullman s return. During that gentleman
absence in Europe he, as the trusted employt
of the company, was in position to do fal
more plundering than he could have done dur
! ing his presence. He timed himself the1
as to leave New York just about as Mr.. Pullman
was leaving Europe, that they probabl,
passed each other in mid ocean.
