had taken such an interest in the un-
fortunate Thomas Jackson Davis.
DETAILS OF THE PLAN.
He directed Mrs. Brock and Mr.. Robert
Davis to come on to Brooklyn and meet
the gentlemen with whom their brother
was to engage in business AS precau-
tion S:oddard directed his Brookyn
friend to compel both persons to sign an
affidavit that their brother, Thomas Jack
sou Davis, was not insane and that he
was not suffering from any hered-
itary faint of insanity. If. when Mrs.
called to close the transaction and asked
to see their brother and the philanthropic
Mrs Hunt, he was to Inform them that
they had gone to Hartford, Conn.
The Brooklynite WAS to take the So 400.
deduct 5000 for his trouble, destroy all
traces of any agreement. and Day to him
as quickly as possible the remaining ST.
In addition to this scheme, which was
checked by Chief Murphy, Stoddard
wrote to Prout & Robertson, bankers, of
Demopolis, Ala, and secured blank
check.
He drew the check to the order of Mrs.
Brock, forged the name of Mrs. Ellen
Hunt for 81 800. and then communicated
with Mrs Brock. In this let err he
led the lady to suppose (as
Mrs. Hunt) that she had lived
in Demopolis until three months prior to
the writing, but having come North, she
had met her brother, Thomas Jackson
Davis, and had, at mis- request. decided to
assist him in establishing a business for
himself. He enclosed the forged check
and asked Mrs. Brock to get it cashed at
Gordbnsville, her home, saying it would
be paid by her (Mrs. Hunt0 bankers In
Demopolis.
Mrs. Brock did not honor the check.
but at once forwarded it to Chief Mur-
ply, who had got wind of the scheme
through Stoddard's Brooklyn friend.
sTODDARD'S ACCoMPLICE.
Yes terday Chief Murphy directed De-
tectives Clos and O'Neill to pick up
Thomas Jackson Davis as quickly as pos
sible. Late last night he was arrested
and charged with conspiracy.
Chief Murphy believes, however, that
he is an innocent medium. Sioddard's g
letters TO his Brooklyn friends are still in
the possession of Chief Murphy and will
be used as evidence.
Another of Stoddard's daring but fruit
less schemes a,,,,, was to obtain
No. 2 East Thirty-sixth street.
New York, aud DR.. Poik's sister, Mrs.
H. L. Deas. of No. So West Forty-eightn
street, New York, similar sum by forg-
ing the name of G. B. Whitefield, M. D.,
a wealthy planter in Demopolis, Ala.
Chief Murphy is now determined to do
all in his power to secure Stoddard the
punishment he deserves, as he is con-
sidered one Of the most dangerous crim-
nails every caught iu this city.

GOODBYE, DIR. NICHOLSON.
Many Ministers Share the Regret of
the North Baptists.

The auditorium OF the North Baptist
Church was crowded last evening with
admirers of the Rev. DR.. Nicholson, who
tor eleven years has guided the affairs of
It's congregation, replaced the little
chapel with handsome structure and
planted new building on the site Of the
original little church.
Mr.. Nicholson is about to leave to ac-
cept call at Saratoga. There were
many eyes dimmed with tears last even
ing. But even this was not so affecting
as the sight on the rostrum, whose occu-
pants were half hidden by the tall ferns
which fringed it. Almost every Protest
ant gladiator of note in the city was rep
resented. The venerable DIR. Farley of
the First Baptist Church was speaking
when l entered the crowded church. He
was ap; ealing to the affections of the

useful life in the pulpit, was the same
smile l noted when l first beheld him
talking at children's entertainment one
Christmas about three yenrs ago.

You will do great honor there in the
name of the Lord"

The Rev. DR.. Johu l.. Scudder said he
didn't live in cemetery. but he came as
a mourner at a funeral. He believed in
the future prosperity of the North Baptist
