This WINS written on the express compauy's
private letter heading. and dated Montreal.
Fob 5. The same day young man exactly
answering the description given applied at the
Office for the money. lie said he was II. W.
Campbell. but A. II. Roach. tho clerk in charge.
declined to give 1t to him until he was further
identified. The man said he could furnish
proof at his house and a messenger was sent
with him 10 JJJ West rhrty-hith street There
the man showed the discharge paper OF H. w.
Campholl from Canadian regiment. and also
this telegram:
MONTREAL. Feb 5-Call At express onice nj e. BROAD
way. FUNDS there tomorrow. THOHAs WORKMAN.
Mr.. Ward thought the proof sufficient and gave
The $50 TO the man, for which he signed Il re-
c.ipt on the telegram. writing the name Of II.
". Campbell. When this receipt reached Mon
trcol the signature was declared to be a forgery
officer Mccormick arrested James COyne nj
1853 West Thirty-ilfth street. yesterday. and Pie
express companys messenger identlh fled him as
the man To- whom he had paid the money.
Coyne confessed. md when arraigned in the
JEFFERSON Market Police Court pleaded guilty
and was committed.
Coync told the following story: He il n con-
tractor from Montreal, where his wife and two
children dwell. Business falling him. he came
on To New York city. Here he fell in with three
other Canadians whom he had before met in
Montreal. Berthelot Thomas Scery. and Rob-
ort W. Campbell by name. The latter had been
adopted by u wealthy resident Of Montreal
Thomas Workman. A year ago Campbell be-
came melancholy on account of love affair
and came to this city. Mr. Workman heard
nothing from him for a long time ana became
anxious. He finally sent Bertheot tu New
York with instructions to find Campbell and to
draw on him Tor his expenses. Berthelot soon
found Campbell. but did not report To- Mr.,
MurkmHn. Instead Of this Campbell persuaded
Brrthelut To say nothing, but To continue draw
INK money from Nr Workman for their Joint
support Campbell soon tired of this and tried
in vain 70 enlist In u United States cavalry regi-
ment. Then lac and Berthelot travelled together
over the States. In Baltimore. in December
last. Campbell enlisted. and thence went West.
B"rthelot returned TO Canada and reported that
he had seen nothing Of Campbell. When Camp
bell was away from New York ho left his furni-
tur" with Seery and Coyne. These two became
very poor. and lived 10y pawning their effects.
Finally, their means exhausted. Seery sug-
g.strd that they try to get money from Mr..
Workman by pretending that they had newb Of
Campbell. This was done and the $40 was re.
ceiVpd.
Whatever Coyne's story may amount to.
Campbell Is certainly missing. Whether he
has enlisted IN the army. or been disposed Of in
any other way Is not known.

FACTORING THE NEW CODE
Twenty-Five Hundred Judges aud Lawyers
Uniting In "a Petition.

A petition relative to the new code, signed
by $500 Judges and lawyers. has been sent to
the Legislature. and printed in pamphlet form
and copies have been distributed to the press by
the Special Committee Of the Senate TO which
the subject OF the code was referred. The petit
tion requests the retention OF that part OF the
code which is now IN force. and the adoption Of
the nine remaining chapters. as amended.
These chapters were adopted 10y both branches
u the Legislature, but were returned with the
Governors veto.
A preliminary note 10 tho petition says that
since the bar meeting OF last year in this city.
at which resolutions wore passed requesting
the repeal Of the part Of the code now in force.
and approving 81 the Governors veto OF the
nine chapters bill. many of the lawyers who
took part In that action have become convinced
that they were mistaken. and that "A large num-
her Of these, including four who were Vice
Presidents at that meeting. are among the
sgners OF this petition. The note closes with
these words:
