A. Mann, who has followed her varying fortunes
nom that time t,ll this until he has finally
brought her to the shadow Of the gallows. He
10 the typical character one always meets In
:nss Ssssds. = this as Z tSo oIas:
that, having no occupation, hang around the
big hotels or the prominent corners on Broad
way and Sixth avenue. In other words he IL .
genteel loafer, and women have for years fur
nished him means to crafty his tastes in every
direction. His mother keeps and has kept for
long time house of questionable repute, III
West 18th street, where Robert Ray Hamilton
CHARTERED Eva G. Mann" at his expense. Long
ere this she had been in love with Joshua Mann
and continued the laison even after she be-
came acquainted and lived with Mr.. Hamilton,
FIRST - mistress and then - wife, and more OF
the rich mans fortune has been spent by her
on Mann than would have bought q brown stone
house on any Of the fine avenues in this city.
THOROUGHLY BAD WOMAN.
It would appear that both before and after
marriage Mann was q bone Of contention be-
tween them and they were constantly having
differences on account of his attentions
Mr.. Hamilton's first offer of marriage was
made with the intention Of breaking off her re-
lations with Mann and leading her to a better
life. But the natural perverseness Of her char
acter led her to deceive him. She agreed to
leave her lover forever and to lead respectable
life and made the most solemn protestations
Of love for Mr.. Hamilton and Of detestation for
Mann
1t is the same old story. Marriage made her
worse instead Of better, if worse were possible.
She received Mann clandestinely whenever OPP
portunity offered and continued her bad habits
In almost every direction.
RUINED MANY MEN.
Something more than two years ago this des-
perate adventures was in the height of her
in bia off 10
nearly all the young and wealthy bloods of the
fashionable world here. She had already sent
one French baron home to his people with
scarcely money enough left to pay his fare to
Havre. He was crazy about her, and is said to
be 80 still. Early in her career she had car
rled OF the son Of q famous dry goods prince
Of this city and then coldly made terms with
the father before she would loosen her grip on
the boy. When the father fell into her hands
she also wrung good-sized fortune from him.
She Is an adventures without heart and yet at
times a woman so lovable that many men Of
good character and strong heads have fallen at
her feet
THE MOTHER DISAPPEARS.
Robert Ray Hamilton, her latest victim. met
her at masked ball nearly three years ago
and two weeks later he was her slave. Her
mother then disappeared and does not again
appear as her companion. The Swinton wo-
man. who has been three times married and is
Mann's mother, seems to have taken her place.
A child was born of this unfortunate marriage
about a year ago, Of which the father is pas
slonately fond. It was given the name of
Blanche Ray Hamilton after honored members
OF that ancient family, and Mary Donnelly, who
has fallen victim to the IA &c Of her mistress,
was engaged by the adventures as nurse on ac-
count Of her thorough knowledge OF her mis-
tress' liaison with Josh Mann. While taking
MIR. Hamiiton's money and being in his service
she acted as go-between for Mrs. Hamilton
and her disreputable lover. 1t would seem
rather poetic justice that after having been
part Of these intrigues she should have fallen q
victim to them.
TERRIBLE BLOW TO THE HAM1LroNs
Naturally Mr.. Hamilton's family deeply feel
the disgrace his conduct has brought upon
them. 1t is said that they knew of this connec-
ton year ago and tried to break it off, but the
woman had too firm grip on him. His father.
Gen. Schuyler Hamilton, is a very aristocratic
and dignited old gentleman, known as one of
the most honorable men in this city. He was
an officer IN the army at the beginning of the
war and was a close and confidential friend of
hr. Lincoln. In those days he was very con-
spicuous figure at the capital, and was well
known In national life. He prides himself on
his being the great grandson of Alexander
Hamilton, and has always brought his children
up to be proud of their ancestral name.
1t Is a terrible blow to his pride that his able
OF a disreputable adventures and the central
figure in one of the most disgraceful scandals
that have fallen upon the swell social life OF this
city for many years.
