ThOInpsonss Account.
ST. Louis, Mo-, July 16.-Behind the
attachment suit which Mrs. Cornelia San
born has brought against the property of
AImon B. Thompson, the absconded
cashier of the Provident Savings bank, lies
a story which, if true, will show that
Thompson's alleged forgeries and general
crookedness extended further than was at
first generally supposed. Some time ago
Mrs. Sanborn loaned the cashier IS, 600,
secured by certificates of the banks stock
as collateral. These she placed in her
strong box in the vaults at the bank. When
it became known Monday that the bank
was embarrassed, she called and asked for
her box and it was given her. She re-
moved the certificates, and taking them to
a broker asked him to sell them.
The broker took the certificates, and
upon examining them found that
they were forged. 1t is said that Thomp-
son had access to Mrs. Sanborn's box. and
that he substituted the forged for the genu-
Inc certificates. which he afterwards sold.
Important information concerning the
probable whereabouts of the cashier was
received to-day from Benjamin j. Vert
heimer, lawyer of Chicago. who states he
met Thompson in that city last Tuesday
evening. 1t is supposed he was on his way
to Detroit, whence he went to Canada.
To-day the first steps in the direction of
experimenting the fugitive were taken.
Warrants charging him with embezzlement
and grand larceny were issued and the
directors employed two attorneys, one to
carry on the civil and the other the GRIM
lnal branch of the prosecution. Detectives

a BROOKLYN DIVINE
Charged with adultery and Abuse
OF His Wife.

Special to the Globe.
NEW YORK, July 16.-The wife of Rev.
Benjamin Stanton, pastor Of the Fort
Greene Presbyterian church, fashionable
society in Brooklyn, has begun suit against
her husband for absolute divorce. on the
grounds of infdelity and inhuman treat
ment. In her sworn statement she reviews
her life with him. and tells story that for
coarse brutality and lecherv takes the edge
off the annals of salacious clergymen. The
improper conduct of Mr.. Staunton with
Mrs. Schufelt, boarding mistress in East
Albany. is given in full, many facts not fit
for publication being detailed. She tells
how she and her husband, accompanied by
Mrs. Schufelt, went to the council of the
North River Congregational churches, and
how Mrs. Schufelt was given
ROOM AT HOTEL
while the pastor and his wife took rooms at
private house She says that during the
meeting he left and went to the hotel to see
Mrs. Schufelt alleging as an excuse that
she was sick. He remained with her an
hour, and then took her to the council.
Mrs. Staunton follows by giving in detail
other and more pronounced testimony as to
the infideiity of her husband. The attempt
OF Mr.. Stanton. while in charge of the
congregation at Ridgewood Hall. to lead
young and pretty member Of the Sunday
school, is given. His relations with a choir
singer, Mrs. Ladder, are dealt with, his
efforts to introduce the woman into his
house being described. Then follows
A PITIFUI4 TALE
of brutal and inhuman treatment, during
which the wife was compelled several
times to seek refuge in the house of
neighbors. She says that during the time
Mrs. Ladder was an inmate of the house,
he made it custom to have family prayers
and to invoke blessings before eating.
This. it is claimed, he never did unless
Mrs. Ladder was present. Mrs. Stanton
acknowledges she condoned many of the
offenses of her husband, but only in the
hope of regaining his love. The reverend
gentlemans last offense was the attempt to
kill his wife by choking when she mildly
objected to the beautiful soprano remaining
an inmate of the family. Immediately
after this act Mrs. Staunton left the par
sonage and sought the protection of her
brother who is a wealthy resident of
Brooklyn. Judge Tenny said, in conversa-
ton that Staunton was the most impious
and brutal wretch that ever had the te-
merity to stand in pulpit and pretend to
lead congregation in the paths OF righteous

Dies MONIES, Ia, July 16.-The Demo

which an outline draft of campaign meth
DDS was agreed on. They all agreed that
the local option plank in the present plat

DACEX RANGED
The Murderer of Aid. GaymOr Expi-
ates His GffeRse.


WOODSTOCK, ILL.,, July 16.-James
Dacey, the murderer of Aid. Michael Gay
nor of Chicago, was hanged at 1885 to-day.
He made no speech, and was moderately
composed, though during the morning he
screamed almost continuously, and had his
limbs bound to prevent him making all as
Sault on any of his attendants.
A political feud in the ''bloody Ninth ward
of Chicago, noted for the bitterness with
which its aldermanic elections have been car
ried on, resulted in the murder of Aid. Michael
Gaynor by james Dacey. Dacey was a
worker of some reputation in the ward.
He had always been one of Gaynors advo-
Gates, and the two were good friends until
Aid. Ohm Foley died, and the time came to
choose his successor. Dacey wanted James
Murray, plumber, to have the nomination.
but Gaynor took up the cause of Mahoney
The fight which followed was bitter III the
extreme. The primaries were held week
before the regular election, and Dacey was
SO abusive at the polls that Gaynor had him
arrested and locked up. Next day he was
fined, and his hatred of the alderman in
creased. He is said to have made threats that
if Murray was elected somebody would be
killed. He was an eccentric fellow, and
nobody thought he would carry the threat
into execution. MahOney was unsuccessful at
the election, which occurred May ID, 1884.
That night Gaynor, the successful candidate,
and number of politicians were drinking in
Fo,ey's saloon on South Hasted street. AS
they stood at the bar Dacey entered. He
walked up 10 Gaynor and offered his hand.

derman, 'but you can drink with us if you
WISH With this remark Gaynor turned
laughingly away. For second Dacey stood
motionless. He then drew q revolver from
his pocket and fired bullet in the back of
Gaynor's head The wound proved fatal
After eleven days of intense suffering Gaynor
died. The feeling was very strong against
Dacey and he was secreted by the police and
through the intervention of his attorneys he
was given u trial here. Dacey was convicted
OF murder, but the original sentence was
stayed to determine the question of his san
ity. He was ajudged sane by medical COM
mission and it was ordered that he be hanged

In checking off the books for the quarter
ending July Is, he was CONFRONTED
with shortage of more than 81, OOO
The defaulter is Mr.. Robert Ii.
Newman, the treasurer of the concern.
When asked how he had been induced to
appropriate the funds, Newman said he had
lost 1t at the Washington Park races. He
had bet small sums of his own money at
first, but could not win. Then it occurred
to him TO use the money turned over to him
by the secretary of the union to make I'D his
losses. He continued to lose, till he
at last bet in desperation in the
forlorn hope of mining enough to redeem
his losses and the unions money. When
discovery became imminent he went to the
lake and tried to make up his mind to
drown himself. Newman was held to the
criminal court in $4,000 bail. He was I'M
able to secure bondsmen, however, and was
sent to jail in default. He has wife and
one child, three months old, living at 1SS
