neighbors heard Of the presence OF the
supposed English widow and on ealing to
pay respects were agreeabiy impressed w1tn
her beauty and simplicity as well as with
the elegance of the surroundings. They
saw no indications of the presence OF a
male person, and as it was supposed she
was living there alone with no other COM
pany than that of few servants. Things
ran along smoothly until it began to be re-
marked as an unusual circumstance that
she never appeared in the open air, and a

handsome and with the most charming
manners. She fancied vacant residence
on Seventeenth styeet, next to that of old
Watkins, Of the Fourth ward, and rented

About all the first-class furniture stores
were visited by her, and soon after wagons
began to wend their way toward Seven
teenth street, loaded with all conceivable
furniture. 1t appears she had paid an in
significant sum on the goods. When the
Deputy went to the residence to attach the
property no one responded to his knock

who admitted him. 1t was found the upper
story was unfurnished. The first story was
stocked with furniture valued at between
81 500 and $1,000. 1t was discovered that
