THE DUBLIN BlGAMIST.
Arrest Last Night of Jared N. Moore,
Formerly McAtfee.
Discovered Through The Globes Descrip-
ton of Yesterday,

The GLOBE of yesterday contained an ex
elusive account of the racy, sensational career
of Thomas Joseph McAffee. alias Nagel
half dozen other names, the history of
whose amours and adventures sounds as
strange as any romance. In the account al
luded to it was stated that in 1880 he sought
the hand and heart of Miss Anna Lodge,
wealthy and beautiful girl
of Dublin, Ireland, at which time
he was the trusted agent of an extensive
musical publishing house of that city. A
year afterwards he embezzled large sum OF
money from his firm, took what money be-
longed to his wife, and deserving both wife
and family skipped the country. Since then
he has enacted many roles in many chimes,
but his chief racket was that of the masher,
part which he seemed to play to perfection.
! After the cruel abandonment OF his wife
he fed the country and next turned up IN
! Paris, the gay capital Of France. There he
plunged into the gay and giddy whirl OF DIS
| sipation, vice and fashion, and from all ac-
counts, he played big and desperate hand.
| He assumed the name of Nagel Murray, and
turned up as the sutton for the hand OF a
countess, rich widow, and the daughter OF
the late Commodore Mead, of the U. 5. A.
His suit was successful, but the willy knave
thought to put the ocean between him and
the fear of danger, so the nuptials were ar
ranged to take place in New \ DIRK. The
scene shifted to the latter city and we next
find the festive paryenu and his new

Harlem, a suburb Of New York
He engaged in the insurance business and
bobbed up serenely enough until Nemesis
came in the form of his brother-inlaw, Mr.
| w. 0. Lodge, who was after the villain and
revenge. An effort was made to hold him
in New York, but he gave justice the slip
and skipped for climate that was not yet
so hot that it couldn't hold him.
His whereabouts and identity were lost for
several months, but the persistent young
man who has finally quarried his game re-
ceived clue few weeks ago that his man
had located in this city. Mr.. Lodge arrived
here only three or four days ago, and happily
his trip this time was destined to not prove a
failure.
what appeared in yesterdays GLOBE. and it
is to its article that, may be accredited the
arrest of McAfee, which took place last night
Early yesterday morning gentleman
named Curtis, doing business in the Giltil-
| Ian block as photographer,
called at the GLOBE office and
asked for the address of Mr.. Lodge, saying
that he thought he could point out the where

Later in the day the men met and compar-
ison of notes showed that Mr. Jared n.
Moore, the former business partner of Mr..
Curtis, and McAfTee alias Nagel
were one and the same persons.
Enough information was ATTAINED to lead to
the arrest of McAffee on warrant which &C.
CURED as before stated, last night.
From the best information he arrived in
st. Paul last March, forming partnership
with Mr.. Curtis in the business named. and
| going under the name of Joseph
Moore. They were together up to
! short time ago. when Mr..
Curtis became alarmed at his partners
peculiar financial methods, and it is under
stood that Curtis charged him with approp-
rating the funds of the firm. The disagree
mint led to a separation, when McAifee,
alias Moore ct al, started an Office on his own
hook on lower Third street. During his
residence here he has boarded on Pleasant
avenue with the woman he is supposed to
have deceived last.
He IS TOO SMART TO TALK.
After the prisoner was locked up repre-
sentative Of the GLOBE endeavored to get his
story from him, but did not succeed as Mr..
Moone was too smart to talk. The gentle
man was found in cell No. s. On being
| questioned he at once declared his intention
to keep silent till after he had consulted with
his attorney. He asserted, however, that
his arrest was all a mystery to him.
He did not know what 1T was
! for He was at his residence
when the officer came for him and took him
away from his family. He did not appear
to like the proceeding at all, and threatened
to make it hot for those that had caased his
arrest
! He will be arraigned to-day on the charge
of bigamy and embezzlement.
