SIR ROBERT PEEL's FRIEND.
A New York SWIndIer Makes Two
EngIIshmen His Victims.

New YORK, May ga mean swindlers
with an extraordinary amount Of assurance
in his makeup, is prisoner atIpolice head
quarters. BE was arrested at DelmOnico's
Tuesday evening, where he was enjoying
himself at the expense Of young Sir Robert
Peel and another wealthy Englishman, and
he probably would have bled them we'll If he
had not been caught In the nick of time. His
name is John McDermott, and he Is a large,
good-looking man of middle age. Years ago
he was coachman.
McDermott returned to this city Monday,
on the steamship Aurania, calling HIM
quainted with Sir Robert Peel and Clifford
Talbot, who were his companions in the
cabin. The Englishmen had planned tour
of this country. McDerm0tt told them that
he was Inspector Byrnes's chief detective in
New York, and had boen sent to Germany to
deliver up forger. He promised to show
them all the sights of the city and introduce
them to the inspector. The Englishmen
went to the Hoffman House, and the swind-
Ter accompanied them there. He managed
that he received a diamond pin from Sir
Robert Peel and costly bracelet from Mr..
Talbot. Sir Robert also intrusted an order
for his baggage and four 95 notes to McDer-
mott. The rogue made pretence of show
ing them about the city. He was at dinner
day evening, and was having a royal time
when Detective-Sergeants McCluskey and
Mulholland happened to look in there.
They recognized him at once, but they wait
ed outside until the dinner was eaten. Mr..
Talbot was going to catch a train for Chica-
60, and about 9 O'clock he left the restaurant
with Sir Robert and the bogus detective in
haste. McDermott called cab, swearing at
the driver as if he had never worn livery
himself Then McCluskey walked up to
McDermott and arrested him.
The Englishmen were surprised and in
dignant. Their anger was not lessened by
on by swindler and ex-coachman. Mr
Talbot went on to Chicago. Sir Robert was
at the central Office yesterday, and talked
with Inspector Byrnes. He received back
| the baggage checks, the e5 notes, the dia.
mond pin and the bracelet, and last evening
| he started to rejoin his friend in Chicago.
