LOOKING FOR G. J. VYLE.
HIS CREDITORS HUNTING FOR HIM
WITH A WARRANT.

The National Life and Maturity AS
sociation's Ex- Agent Supposed to be
in New York-The Associations Su-
pervisor of Agents Strengthening
Out Hills and Vyle's Affairs The
Circumstances that Led to Vyle's
Leaving Savannah.
Although George j. Vyle managed to get
| out of New York without being prosecuted,
he did not leave Savannah moment too
soon to escape prosecution here. The
MORNING NEWS no sooner had exposed
Vyle's vicious doings than he began to make
preparations for hurried departure. On
the day following that upon which Vyle
Was written up he got out Of town.
That still hunt for him might not be
interfered with by any further publications
at that time, the MORNING News withheld
information it pos sessed to await develop
ments, but as Nyle seems to have given his
purSuers the slip. it will be of interest to
know all the particulars in the case.
The MORNING NEWS on March 16, pub
llshed the facts OF Vylc's carousal of the
night previous, and on the following morn
ing, in its report of the Mayors Court, the
following extract appeared:
George J. Vyle the midnight dsturber, who
had the neighborhood in the vicinity of 113 York
street in such turmoil Thursday night, was
fined S25 thirty days for ringing the door bell
OF MIR. Douglass house, cursng and abusing
that gentleman and threatening to shoot him.
lie was also fined $40 or thirty days for striking
William r. Leakin, Esq, and resisting the ar
resting officer while in the discharge Of his duty.
On the Tuesday following, and growing
out of the two publications alluded to above.
came the European and New York history
of the accomplished young linguist and
swindler. This last review of Vyle led to
an explanation of how he raised the $50 to
pay his fines and escape the chain-gang.
A WARRANT FOR vYLE.
A warrant sworn out in Justice Molina's
Court against Vyle for cheating and swind-
ling explains matters fully The morning
that Vyle was arraigned in the Mayors
Court he visited a friend, who has
since got out the warrant, and Informed
him that he had been drinking a little
the night before, and had been fined for his
spree. He wanted $50 to pay the fine, and
In addition 30 very pitiful appeal for the
advance, he convinced his benefactor that he
was a Masonic brother He stated that a
Broughton street physician had $50 of his
money, which he would get as soon as the
latter came down town to his office although
the physician had previously advanced
Vyle $50 on the strength of the latter's
representations that he had telegraphed to
the Blocker Street Savings Bank, of New
York. for his bank book, which, under the
rules of the bank, he could not bring with
him nor draw his money for a given length
of time
The physician wrote to Mr.. Reynolds, of
SO Greenwich street, New York, to know
more about Vyle and his whereabouts and
received a letter yesterday in which Mr..
Reynolds refers him to the agents of the
Liverpool, London and Globe InsuranceC CON-
pany, of Savannah. for full particulars.
Mr.. Reynolds house knows nothing of Vyle
having bank book or bank account, but
he writes that he thinks wye left Savannah
on March 81 by steamer for New York, and
is somewhere in that city.
THOUGHT TO BE IN NEW YORK.
Solicitor General duBiguon thought Gov.
Hill would not issue a requisition on a
warrant for misdemeanor, but that if an
officer was sent there for Vyle there would
be no trouble in getting him back here
The parties who have been defrauded bv
Vyle do not, however, feel like losing any
more money cha ing him, and then pc hapS
| losing him When the warrant was sworn
out it wa believed that Vyle had gone to
| Augusta, as man answering his descrip-
ton purchased a ticket for Augusta on the
day Vyle left Savannah. This may have
been done by Vyle to throw the detectives
| off the scent, for he was very shrewd, and
instead of being in Augusta he was slowed
away in the steerage of the steamer
Nyle was in town when the MORNING
| NEWS detailed his adventures, and then it
| was that bis victims ought to have pro
ceeded against him, but they permitted
| Vyle to soothe them with delusive promises
and when they concluded to encircle him in
| the meshes of the law his ozark was on the
| sea, or words to that effect Mr. Vyle had
not drank Mumms at the Grande Paris, at
| Mr.. Reynolds expense and crossed the
ocean to revel in the luxuries of his hospi-
tality in New York city to be caught nap
| ping in Savannah for the small amount of
S55.
| STRENGTHENING OUT POLICIES.
| Mai Lambdin Dawson, of Atlanta. super-
visor of agents for Ave Southern States for
the Life and Maturity Association of
| Washington, D. c., is in the city and was
| seen yesterday by a MORNING NEWS re-
porter When he heard of V yleS capers he
| hurried to Savannah, but in missing the
| first train he got here too late to intercept
| Nyle. 1t was at his instigation that a gen
| tleman took out the warrant. Mai. Daw-
| son is very much chagrined that his bird
has flown, but one thing is certain, the
National Life and Maturity Association of
| Washington will be an able second to the
| Liverpool, London ana Globe Company in
keeping a sharp lookout for Vyle in this
country.
Maj. Dawson says that Col. A. N. VIII
son, of this city, has been appointed local
manager the Washington Company, and
that no further embarrassments need be
feared. The Supervisor Of Agents is also
strengthening out matters with the policy
holders, and will report to the company at
Washington all the facts connected with
the official dong, of HUI and Vye.
