NOT WHAT HE sEEMED.

a Crook Who Passes Himself off as Bo-
MANGA Mackeu's NepI,e,cn Arrested For
Theft.
Last Wednesday morning afashionably dressed
young man arrived at the Nicollet and registered
his name as Chas. W. Prescott, Boston He
deposited S240 in the safe and
took breakfast Yesterday evening the
same man was arrested by officers Coffin and Sill
verthorne, on the charge Of stealing watch and
chain from the person of W. F. Williams, who
rooms on Fourth street south near Nicollet ave-
nue. 1t appears that Prescott, who represented
himself as a doctor, got casually acquainted with
Williams yesterday, and in companywith others the
latter invited him to his room to partake of his
hospitality in the way of liquid refreshments,
After while the doctor took his departure
taking with him gold watch and chain which
Williams wore, the same being valued at $780,
On missing the articles Williams started in
search of his medical friend, and found him in q
saloon block away, on the same street. He
charged Prescott with having his property, where
upon the latter handed the watch and chain to
the bartender. The man was brought to the
lookup, and in his possession were
found the keys of Williams room,
with cards and letters bearing the names of
j. E. Byrne and Jos. E. Byrne. He had also q
ticket of admission for the second
half year of 1882 to the Harry
ard university medical school with the
name of W. J. E. Byrne. Before his arrest he
represented himself as nephew of Mackey, the
bonanza king, of San Francisco, and said he was
on his way to his rich relative. Since his arrest
he has not spoken one word.

Bos,rortI,,s First Wife.

Learning that Amelia Bosworth, first wife of
G. H. Boworth, was in the city visiting her par
ents, your correspondent called upon her for the
purpose of hearing her side of the story. Mrs
Bosworth is on her way to Minneapolis from
Chicago to pay taxes on her property She says
for two years she lived happily in
Chicago with her husband She then
learned of his amour with Belle Esterbrook,
whose name is not Esterbrook, but she is mar
ried woman, never having been divorced.
From that date the trouble began which ended
in separation.
The story that she had been singing and pray
ing on the street is false bull from the fact
that she used to attend a temperance meeting
until Bosworth objected. His reasons for
doing so being that Belle worked in a restaurant
near by. She also learned that Bosworth
had been living with Belle for two years, and
that she had a child Of which Charles was the ia
Their, which died when it was four months old
Mrs. Bosworth never received $50 month from
Charlie. The most she ever had was sos, and
that but few times.
Mrs. Bosworth does not think Bosworth has
taken any money from the postofice at st. Paul.
She has had several interviews with the postoffice
inspector on the subject, and he told her that he
did not think Bosworth had taken any money.
