ON THE TRAIL
Of the Boss Thief of the City of
Churches.
Detectives on the Track Of Secretary Stuart,
Of the Brooklyn Board Of Education
Who Stole 100000.

BgooKLYN, June IA day or two ago
Mayor Low received information that Geo.
A. W. Stuart, the late Secretary Of the
Brooklyn Board OF Education, who abb
seconded after stealing 100000 OF school
funds, has been seen in the northern part
of this State. The Mayor at once held a
consultation with the heads OF the Police
Department. AS a result OF which Captain
Campbell and Detective Lowery were des.
patched by the train leaving the Grand
Central depot for Albany at midnight last
night.
Since Stuart disappeared, OIL September
II, 1881, his appearance at various points
has been reported. Only a year ago it was
said he was in Australia, then he was in
the far West, and only a few months ago
he was reported as having been seen in
Canada. Detectives have, secured the
country far and near, stimulated by the
reward of - 900 offered by the Brooklyn
municipality for Siuarts capture. Most
of the reports have proven groundless, and
the police have become somewhat skeptic
on the subject.
Mayor Lows Information.
II is learned beyond doubt, however, that
the informrtion received by Mayor Low, if
not positiyely authentic, is at least OF sut'
fcient importance 10 warrant immediate
and thorough investigation.
A reporter called on superintendent
Campbell and asked him the reason OF the
officers journey.
II sent the officers, replied the Super
iptendent, ION information received by
Mayor Low that there was man resem-
bling Stuart up in Orange county, on the
line of the New York Central road. This
information came from an official.
"Do YOU think he will be captured
al do not know. | think it little
doubtful. | received dispatch from Cap
tain Campbell dsted Montgomery, saying
There is nothing in the case so far as we
can learn.
The Story Of HIS Crime.
Stuart's embezzlement extended over the
whole twenty years of his service as Secre'
tary to the Board of Education. His fight,
the discovery of the embezllement and the
burning OF all his records and accounts
created a great sensation at the time. SO
we'll had Stuart assumed respeetability and
virtue that even after he fed he had friends
in BROOKLYN who honestly believed that ht
was not guilty of anything worse than
careless management
The experts, however, handicapped a.
they were by the absence OF books anc
vouchers. succeeded, after much hard work
in unesrthing indisputsb!e proofs o.
Stuart's guilt.
Had He Money:
There has been some uncertainty as t
stuart's financial condition when he lef
Brooklyn. Relatives who would be likl!
to know syerred that he was without dol
lar. but IL is believed THAI, knowing tn
mine which might be sprung under bin
at any moment, he had large amount o
