THE HOLTON SCANDAL.
II. Ii. Hoiton's Sudden DISAPPEARANCE
Causes Much Talk

III. II. Holton's Sudden DISAPPEARANCE
Causes Much Talk.
The TELEGRAM-HERALD of Tuesday
contained the information that II. II.
Holton, shipping clerk for Berkey &
Gay, had suddenly left town, and that
his whereabout was unknown to his
friends. Taking that item rs a pointer
the other city papers have been looking
the matter up, and in conseq
their columns were flooded Yesterday
with a sensational story 10 the extent
Of nearly a column. The alleged facts
which they narrate were ID the posses
son of the TELEGRAM-HERALD ut the
time the or gnal item was published,
but were withheld for the reason that
they involved the reputation of a lady
against whom there IS no proof what
ever of wrong doing or even indlscre-
ton. The simple facts are that Mrs.
Holton became insanely jealous of her
husband. that there was u family row.
and that the husband, in ut of anger,
left the city. The sensational pubIca-
tiOns of the scandal mongers have un-
dOubtedly irrevOcablv broken up two
families. The IntmatOn IN one of the
evening papers that the "third party"
accompanied Mr.. HoltOn is untrue.
She IS with her mother IN this city.

morning says: John Devoy, Of New
York, is doing telling work toward un-
raveling that part of the Cronin plot
connected with the intended sequel--the
finding of the DOCTORS body in the
Thames river at London. 1t is said that
every detail has been collected SO far as
the original design of the conspirators
is concerned, and that it is known to
the prosecution. Arrangements were
made for the reception and ship
ment at New York Of the box containing
DIR. Cronin's clothes, etc., for their being
smuggled through the custom house at
Liverpool to an agent of the cons spirators
who had hired a cottage at Woolwich,
nine miles from London down the
Thames; and also arranged to procure q
body resembling in general appearance
that Of DIR. Cronin. Had the Doctors
body not been found here the corpse OBJ
tanned from Guys Hospital, London,
would have been partly distigured,
dressed in DR.. Cronin's clothes,
the pockets containing his watch
and other personal property that would
have convicted and condemned him il
the eyes Of every Irishman. This done
the body would have been thrown into
the Thames, where it certainly would
have been discovered soon, and Irish :
men generally, with such apparent
proof, would have rejoiced that traitor
met his just deserts.
