EXTENSIVE PENSION FRAUDS.
Uncle Sam Defrauded out Of
Seventy-fiVe Thousand Dol
lars by COIored "WidOws"
In Detroit.

Cincinnati CommerciaI.l
DETROIT, December 10. Some
months ago the commissioners Of pen
sions made the discovery that during
the past few years a large number OF
applications for pensions for the
widows and children OF deceased col
ored soldiers had been filed by parties
residing in the city or vicinity. Many
of these claims had been allowed, and
the claimants had been drawing their
pensions regularly. In every instance
the claim was made in behalf Of the
heirs at law of some soldier who had
been a member of the l02d regiment
of colored volunteers, enlisted in De
troit. The claims having been proven,
they we're in due time allowed. FL
nally something transpired to lead the
authorities at Washington to suspect
something wrong in connection with
these colored pensions, and Special
Agent +. 4. Waddell was accordingly
sent here to investigate. lie had been
here but a few days before he obtained
a mass of testimony duplicating a col
ored man named James Q. Richard
son and Eugene Fecht, a German
attorney. The former had acted as the
claim agent, and Peoht prepared
the papers. Detroit has a certain
quarter known as Kentucky cover
ing an area of several acres, aud in
that quarter the residents are almost
exclusively colored people. As soon
rs Waddell and the local officers got
their pipes well laid, they had no diff
iculty in opening communication
with Kentucky" and they soon
learned that there were scores of col
ored women living in that quarter
drawing pensions as widows of de-
ceased soldiers, several Of whom had
been mere children when the wal
closed. As soon as they could be
placed these women were arrested, and
there are now twenty dusky damsel:
in the Jail awaiting trial on the charge
Of deirauding the United States. M
merous pensioners fed to the Cana
dian town of Windsor, across the
river. It appears that the alleged
originator Of TINS Wholesale scheme tC

on. He managed to secure 9 copy Of
che muster roll of the 102d regiment
and took it to Lansing and had the
adjutant-g neral give him the name,
Of those killed in action. He would
then say to a eolored woman that sh,
was entitled to a pension, and readily
secure her cooperation. He weulC
then take her to Fecht, who woult
prepare the papers, and they would b,
sent to Washington. No claim eve
filed by Richardson was disallowed
so thoroughly fortified was he witt
manufactured evidence. Among thosI
who applied was Richardson's wife
under an assumed friend. 1t is esti
mated that be has ~deirauded the gov
eminent to the tune of $4,000, whicl
sum, il is charged, was divided be
tween Richardson, Fecht and the col
ored applicants, the two men gettinI
the larger share. The trial Of tn.
two men has been in progress in tn.
United States court here all the week
and resulted tonight in the acquitta
of Fecht and the conviction Of Rich
