Thought Gold Dust

He Gives Up $4,000 for Brass That HI
Thought Gold Dust.
NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-[Special. l-Jewelel
Ephraim Grinspan was the victim to-day Of
gold dust gang. He gave sS,1O0 and &
check for $500, dated ahead, for a bag
which he believed contained gold dust.
When he reached his place of business he
found the bag contained nothing but brass
Filings.
All the swindlers but two were captured.
Those arrested are Nathan Wendell, his
wife Bessie, his two sons, Jacob and Samuel,
and Annie Remsberg. Grinspan did not
quite understand how he had been cheated.
1t was an old game, however. The top OF
the dish was lined with gold, but on his
way from his house to the store the gold
had worked to the bottom of the bag.

FATHER AND SON DEFAULTERs.
As Trusted Employees They victimized a
Publishing House for Years,


ST. LOUIS, Dec. LIT has Just been dis
covered by the Concordia Publishing Com
pany, printers of religious books, that
Martin C. Barthel and Martin II. II.
Barthel, father and son. two of its most
trusted employees, are short in their ac-
counts. Martin III. r. received an order for
certain publications which he filled in, but
neglected to turn over the cash, which
brought about an investigation revealing
the fact that the peculations of both were
large.
The Justification of the books has been
going on for number of years. Martin C.
has been manager for % years, and while
the investigation has been progressing he
has been absent. On his return he at first
denied the charges, but afterward broke
down and admitted his guilt, turning over
$4,000 in real estate to cover the shortage
The son has disappeared and no trace of
him can be found. The officers of the COM
pany say that the property turned over
more than secures the present defalcation.

GENERAL BUTLER RECOVERING.
For Awhile, Though, He Was Very Near to
Deaths Door,

LOWELL, MASS, Dec. L.-[Special 1T is
now admitted for the first time by General
Buffers physician and members of his FAM
lily that he was very near deaths door last
week, as was stated when he was first taken
sick. His trouble was an abscess in the ear.
As the abscess increased in size General
Buffers life began to tremble in the bal
ance: If It broke inside, death would
quickly follow. If the abscess found an
outlet through the ear his life would be
saved.
There was well-grounded anxiety until

D.Time was not 80 long ago when II q sprig OF
English royalty occupied place in an English
court Of justice the utmost tenderness charac-
terized the treatment ne received at the hands
Of attorneys and public. In the earlier stages
OF the baccarat trial the Prince Of Wales re-
eeived the customary cautious and delicate
handling, and it seemed at ono time ~ il the
strange and subtle influence Of royalty" which
on the theory Of the plaintiff accounted for his
signature to the implied confession Of guilt

all the vigor out Of Gordon Cummings case,
and condemnins him hopelessly to an unfavor-
able verdict But the argument Of plaintiffs
counsel Ia not conducted on the same lines as
his examination Of Witnesses 1t Is less consid-
crate Of the Prince Of Wales and more consid-
crate Of his client 1t presents theory Of Sir
Gordon Cummings conduct, consistent with
innocence, with the boldness and confidence,
which are absolutely essential if the theory is
to receive the slightest credit. The signing Of
the pledge to play cards no more was the damn
ing act by the plaintiff. and no mere suggestion.
nothing but the bold and open declaration to
the princes face that this was done with the
sacrifice Of honor to shield him from scandal
would be at all effective. With this decla-
ration came the plaintiffs first and only
CLEAN OF hope in the case, and with
it comes the knowledge that English pub
lie opinion is now disposed to put the
Prince of Wales on trial as an ordinary mortal
to be judged by the ordinary standards He
mas hitherto been very leniently treated when
the facts in his life, long notorious, are consid
cred The British people are not easily eman-
cipated from the mott ,ns and attitude of 10y
atty to the reigning family which is tradition
ally held to be exempt from the criticism that
would overwhelm less favored mOrtals. This
popular consideration for the heir to
the throne has outliyed any desert of the prince

day that il is not very likely. however. to out

the resorts Of the prince and that gay society
that devoies itself ~ him in his hours of case,
is not yet told. but large part Of it is known
and much Of the remainder conjeetured more
or less plausibIy. The prince might well have
surmised that something of this life not at all
conducive to his reputation, or what remains
of 1t, after the various escapades in which he
has played leading role, would be photo
graPhed in this trial and his nervousness Is
therefore easily accounted for. But he and his
coterie of admirers could hardly have ex-
pected that the counsel for Sir William Gordon
Cumming would in few bold strokes of the
scalpel lay 50 utterly bare the most sensitive
and vital portion Of his moral anatomy. Prob
ably the plaintiff cheated but whatever fate be-
falls him he has convicted in advance at the
bar Of public opinion the Prince Of Wales.

OF course The administration will furnish all
the facts relative to the Keystone Bank inves-
tigation of which it has eognizance. The Post
master Generals testimony is before the pub
lie. The examination of the banks affairs will
continue. and 1t is probable that the comp
troller Of the currency will appear before the
Philadelphia council TO testify. There are some
matters not yet clearly explained which it is
desirable to have cleared up. That there has
been official negligence on the part of the bank
examiner or some one else Is strongly suspected,
and until a free inquiry develops all the facts
in the case the suspicious of portion of the
public will remain 1t Is but simple justice to
the parties in this complicated transae ton, in
Guiding the public officials, that the whole
AGAR should be carefully. impartially but rig
idly examined from bottom to top and the real
offenders ascertained and punished.
