THE WOMAN IN THE CASE.

CHICAGO, Aug. 18.-That there has been
woman in the case of G. W. Angel. defaultinp
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 Watson's bagnio in this city. An in
terview with Miss Wilson shows that Angel
was frequent visitor to that resort of i'll
fame; that he went there to see this Sadie a.
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

child. They were in the habit of riding to-
gether on the boulevard, she meeting him alter
dark. She says Angel was 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 vet
be ascertained whether any of the Pullman
stock was forged and hypothecated with bank
ers here. 1t would have been q 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 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, G. Badger of Chicago.
Angel had been in the employ of the com pany
about fourteen years. Since the death of his
wife, three years ago, he became acquainted
with
A YOUNG LADY
(.
10 her he became much attached and last
April he asked her to become his wife, which
she refused-and this. it is said, led him tc
lead life of dissipation. His chief failine
was his love of association of fast women
The money he took away consisted of between
$50, 600 and 100000 currency and upwards OF
$70, 600 in bonds of the Pullman Palace Ga,
company and other securities, which he sold in
New York previous to his departure for foreign
ports. 1t is pretty generally understood that
he had had this departure in contemplation TO,
some time, and that he had selected as the
moment of his departure a time just prior to
Mr.. Pullman's return. During that gentleman's
absence IN Europe he as the trusted employe
of the company, was in position to do ia,
more plundering than he could have done dur.
! ing his presence. He SO timed himself then
| as to leave New York just about as Mr.. Pullman
was leaving Europe SO that they probably
passed each other in mid ocean.

A CRAZY FREAK.
New YORK, Aug. 18.-About 8 o'clock this
morning John D. Leet registered at the Asto
house and was assigned room on the third
floor. At dark the man appeared laborine

pistol was heard from Leets room, and the
crashing of bullet through the door, accom-
panied by loud cries from the room. Several
officers were summoned, and they burst in the
door, and Immediately bullet whizzed
past, and the party inside slammed
the door IN their faces. Another attempt by
the officers to get in met by another bulle,
but both shots fortunately missed. The officers

satisfied he had been Swallowed for DAYS past by
fellow who wanted to put him out of the
