THE CRONIN CONSPIRACY.
Alexander Sullivan's Confidential Clerl
Arrested for Completely In the Plot.

Ach SoshphACAsy ~ viz wv
Late yesterday afternoon Henry N. Stolten-
berg, confidential clerk and stenographer OF
Alexander Sullivan and Thomas B. Windes,
was arrested by Chicago detectives and hur-
ried to Jail for the part he is supposed to have
played in the jury bribing plot
The arrest was made at o'clock, just as the
big opera house building, in which the Office
is located, was crowded with people. 1t was
o'clock when the young man was taken into
Judge Longenscker's room. There he met the
lawyers for the state, Chief Hubbard and Capt.
Schuttler. A brief conference was held. II
was evidently satisfactory to the state, for
when the meeting was over stoltenberg was
sent away in the custody of two officers
specially detailed to guard him, and it was
afterward officially stated that he had been
taken to a hotel where he could be closely
guarded until his presence before the grand
jury is required.
Stoltenberg's connection with the crime il
one OF the secrets of the state attorneys office.
Bailiff Hanks and Frederick W. Smith. who
were John Graham's chief lieutenants, have

A MILLIONAIRE CONVICT.
The Curious Career of Thomas III. Blythe,
One of the Argonauts of 1S49.

Thomas II. Blythe was one Of the argonauts
OF 49. In that year he struck California and
made big find in the gold diggings. He in
vested his gold in lands and became one Of the
nabobs of the Pacific slope. In 1888 he died,
leaving an estate valued at $4,000, 900 and no
will. He was then living a bachelor life in a
redwood palace on Mob Hill, in San Francisco,
and his death in his bath caused considerable
excitement. The coroner's jury decided that
he died of heart disease.
A sister and brother soon showed up in
England, and in 1884 a daughter. Florence.
came on, accompanied by woman who claimed
to be her mother and who called herself Mrs.
Mary Blythe. The mother swore that the dead
millionaire was married to her in London and
that he was the father of her daughter Flor
ence. James Crisp Perry of San Francisco was
appointed Florence's guardian. and hot legal
fight for the dead mans millions was begun.
THE DEAD MANS HISTORY
As the fight progressed the dead mans his
tory was hunted up and it was learned that
when he went to California in '49 he had gone
there as probation man from the English
convict colony In Van Diemans Land Then it
was brought out that he had been an English
thief; that after various offenses he was finally
convicted In lS42 OF tapping till in Liverpool
and transported to Hobart Town, Van Dieman's
Land, to serve a seven years sentence there
and on the famous Norfolk island. where, wit
5O,OOO other convicts, he toiled ON government
work under first the famous Sir John Franklin
and afterward under the notorious Governor
Bully" Price, who was subsequently muir
dered by the convicts. He served his term out
ana with few exceptions no one in California
knew his past record. These few exceptions
were associates with him in the English penal
colony and had also grown rich in California
1t Is this Thomas Blythe that the brother
and sister claim as their brother and to whose
millions they lay claim, but the wife and daugh-
ter assert that Thomas Blythe the millionaire
and Thomas Blythe the convict are different
men.
A STRANGE RECOGNITION.
Superintendent Michael Dom of the home Of
of industry, Philadelphia, who was companion
in servitude with Blythe and is to give his de-
position in the case, said in an interview Mon
day: 'Of course do not know much about his
recent career. l only know that he is the same
man met in Van Dieman's Land. Now there
are other millionaires in San Francisco who
know this and who were like Blythe and
myself convicts on Norfolk Island. One day
while was looking at some machinery at a
county fair near San Francisco noticed two
finely dressed men with big diamonds closely
regarding me. After bit one of them came
up and said: Peter, this beats Vandemonium,
don't it? Immediately knew him for an old
convict, because Peter Featherstone was my
convict name. and Vandemonium was the con-
yicts' name for Van Diemans Land"

In the scramble following her $50 ruby ring

articles were found in Frederic Mason's pocket
and he told Judge German that he had nothing
TO say except that he had used no violence
Mrs. Whitmore has had more OF an adventur-
GUS career and has been known by more names
than any other woman in the land She has
responded at various times to the names of
Peck, Walling, Yelling. Snyder, Stuyvesant,
Wellington, Corteau, Whittemore, Willing
ford, Arneaux and to other names The New
York police call her 1.-The Queen Of Adventu-
resses"
She is the daughter of Georgia planter and

stood trial Ill Philadelphia and in Boston for
Matchmaking and horse stealing and in New

In 1888 she was arrested for drunkenness in
Brooklyn. and then she told the story of a mar
rage between herself and Brooklyn engraver,
who already had wife and family Both were
tried and acquitted OF biSamy the man claim
ing that he was drugged into inconsistencies
at the time of the ceremony. Afterward She

iunatic asylum and then kept him in confine-
ment Tor ransom. He notified his friends by
dropping note out of his window to the side
walk, where passer picked it up. Once she
sued the Sixth-ayenue railroad because she
had been elected from the car after she had
PAID her fare, and this case was settled. She
told the police that she lived at the elise
house, but there they know her not.
