THE MAN WHOSE EVIDENCE SENT Ex-ALDER-
MEN JAEHNE TO SING SING.
Interest in the proceedings at the Jaehne
rial eliminated in the testimony of Police
spector Byrnes, the man who set the trap
20 which the Alderman fell. Jaehne's con-
sion to Byrnes that he had received SO, 900
his vote in favor of a railroad on Broad
Y, was the material part of the evidence
en- by the officer which led the jury to con-
the prisoner. Without Byrnes' evidence
re would have been an opposite result to
trial.
ne Inspectors testimony evidences that
s good deal of diplomatist. In
es of interviews with his now miserable
i'm he elected from him on one occasion
confession that man named Moloney,
handled the doodle" had
4 him just before the fran
was granted that it was going
e put through, and that Jaehne then told
onev he wanted to use some money, and
ed him if he couldn't help him out.
Dne said MalOney told him to look in his
ehUe's) box'for it after the meeting was
T. and be would find what he wanted.
hne did so, and found an envelope with
1000 in it. Having procured this much in
thout witnesses, Byrnes contrived an in
view at which he had two detectiveSin the
,rlOr of his house back of where he and
) ,ehne were sitting, where they could hear
THAT was said. At the trial the Inspector
produced diagram of the room and ex-
planned how he had placed chair for Jaehne
near the folding doors opening into the back
psrlor. He then testified as follows: "Jaehne
came around about s o'clock, and after l
saw him in the chair intended for him
with bis back to the folding doors, told him
that l heard he was going away He asked
me who told me that and then went on to
say that it was very funny, for he did have
a conversation about leaving town with
Harvey, a liquor dealer in Jaehnes district.
[ told him that had forgotten some of the
amounts he said the members of the Board
had received, and he repeated the statement
that each of the twenty-five men got $40 600.
Then he went over the whole story again.
Finally he pulled out his watch and said he
had an engagement at $50 O'Clock to meet
some men who would make MARITIME stop the
prosecution. l arrested him the next day at
about IL o'clock" This will you walk into
my parlor" testimony was corroborated and
Jaehne's conviction followed, of course.
The ingenuity of Byrnes, only equalled by
the simplicity of Jaehne, is an illustration of
''the ways that are dark adopted by the
Chief of the New York detectives in his Off
cial zeal for the public good. Inspector
Byrnes bad before proved himself to be a
capable officer. The means by which he pro-
cured testimony resulting in the conviction
of Jaehne is perhaps the best example of his
work so far. There is evidently a future for
Mr.. Byrnes, who is now in early middle life,
with the glory and honor of his recent
achievement to encourage his diplomatic in
genulty in the future.

He Paid 1000 for a Wife.


Last fall Chauncey B. Winship, a hard
listed old farmer of Wethersfield, lost his
wife. He is seventy-six years of age but
within week after his wife's death he began
to look for q second wife. He had real estate
valued at $4,000 and $4,000 in bank, and
hoped to buy a woman of some sort. He
first wrote an advertisement for a wife, but
it appeared as one for a housekeeper.
Twenty-Five women answered at once. He
ranged them in room and made a circuit
with roll of bills, 1000, in his hand, and
stopping in front of each, SAID:
"Pll give you this to marry me; to marry
me right now"
All refused most OF them never having
seen him before. He kept up hot hunt for
a wife for about a month, proposing to over
forty women from sixteen to slxty-seven
years of age. His offer was $1,000 to each,
anc he raised it to meet the appearance of
each applicant, going as high as $4,000.
AtleDgth he married Mrs. Pheumdance,
giving her Sc, 900 cash and transferring prop
erty valued at 5000 without consideration.
The children then filed a petition for a con-
servator. Most of the women were i'm court
to day and crowd of hard.fste Wethers-
field farmers. 1t was shown that since the
petition was filed.Winship had threatened to
start for New York by boat and jump over
board on the way; that he had bought
laudanum and got the bottle to his lips that

him from enjoying whenever good oppor-
tunity occurred:
Judge Wright, of Cincinnati, and Mr.. Cor
win were travelling together during the cam
paign referred to, and stopped to stay over
night at the home of a prominent citizen in
the central part of the State. At supper the
hosts daughter waited up the table, and
knowing the distinguished character of their
guests, was inclined to put on some style;
and before pouring tea inquired, first of
in your tear The old Judge was too polite
to say anything but ives" and let her fix
his tea she pleased.
When she came to Mr.. Corwin she repeated
the same question. The chance for a joke
was SO good that he could not resist the
temptation to improve it. and he replied
Pepper and salt If you please, but no mus
tard."
/ think it safe to conclude that that girl
never again proposed condiments for tea.

Tom Corwin's Repartee.
lCleaveIand Leader.


In 1912, when MI. Corwin was the Wing
candidate for Governor he was speaking to a
large out-of-door audience at Akron, and in
his speech he told his hearers that he wished
for their votes, but said he wished it to be
understood that il was not for the sake of the
salary he would receive. THE Governors
salary under the old Constitution was only
$780, A democrat near the speakers stand
said, That's a lie.
Mr. Corwin instantly turned little and
looking squarely into the fellows face, with
a smile clearly expressing a combination of
mirth and contempt, said: mo, il is not,
and will tell you why. / am lawyer, and
when at home can make more money by
pleading assault and battery cases for point
ing his finger at HIM just such chaps as
you than could by being Governor" As
soon as the roars of laughter subsidized Mr..
Corwin went on with his address as
though be had not been interrupted.
The love OF fun was trait OF his character
which even his gallantry would not prevent
