VICTIMS OF FIELD
Sad Plight of the Wiechers
Family in Germany.
FROM AFFLUENCE TO POVERTY.
So Poor that They Cannot Now Pay Their
Way to This Country.

Latest Indiotments Against Him.
New YoRK Dec. 22.-The whole story
of the Wiechers' family connection with
the wrecked firm of Field, Ltndley,
Wiechers & Co. is slowly coming out,
and promises to be exceedingly inter
esting when all Is told. 1t is now said
that the members of the family who
live in Germany are actually so
destitute through the operations of
Field that they have not money enough
to pay their passage to this country,
even though less than two years ago
they were heirs to million and a half
dollars worth of property. George f.
Wiechers, of Porto Rico, is said to still
possess some means of his own.
The money of the Wiechers family
came, so the story goes, from rich
relative, William A. Wiechers, who
dying a few years ago, left something
like 81, 500, 600 to his relatives. A
large portion of this money, it is now
bhlNl, WAS pun lHbO blb uuuuB OIL Young
Wiechers aud by him invested in the
Fleld-Linlley enterprise
John L. Wiechers became acquainted
with Field th 'ough his German friend,
Hillmyers, afCerward a member of the
firm, and having plenty of money,
was able to join with Field in the ex-
pensive pleasures Of yachting and other
sports
There are now four indictments
against Edward NJ. Field; one for for
gerry and three for grand larceny, two of
the latter having been presented yester-
day. OF these two the first charges that
on Nov. Frank j. Sprague borrowed
of Field, Lindley 81 Wiechers the sum
of S25,000 for which he gave as collat-
eral 300 shares of General Electric stock.
On the same day Field instructed the
firms brokers, Howard Lapsley 81 Co.,
to dispose of the stock for the firms ac-
count The stock was sold, and then
Field through the same brokers, bought
up POO shares of the stock in his own
name.
The following day Sprague was asked
to put up 90 more shares of the stock
as collateral, and these additional
shares, according to the second indict-
ment, were feloniously taken by Field
u
When Mr.. Gould will be able to make
public statement of the condition of
the firms affairs is a matter of great
uncertainty.
At the Ludlow Street Jail this m orn-
ing it was said Field had acted more
like an insane man yesterday and to-
day than han e at anv time since he wgs locked
kind yesterday, and up to 10 o'clock
this morning had taken no nourishment
since Saturday. His only drink is ice
water, which he takes in small quanti-
ties at frequent intervals.
All day yesterday and again this
morning he complained of pains in his
head. He is constantly rubbing his
head with his hands. He does not talk
and seems annoyed when any one speaks
to him. He answers all questions with
q simple yes or no or a shake of the
head. He slept very we'll last night,
but did not appear refreshed this morn
ing, and complained of the pain in his
head

Aesumohy OF the MEN Upon whom the
Prosecution Trusts Its Case.
CHICAGO, Dec. %. Mrs. Florenos
Cuthbertson, a former society belle Of
Chicago, was granted divorce yester
day at Sioux Falls, s. D. Her case is
remarkable. She was young, beautiful,
wealthy, and the wife of William Doug
lass, member of the Board Of Trade Of
Chicago.
About year ago Douglass, in look
ing through his wife's desk, found he
pretended, some very ardent letters
from young real estate d ealer, Sidney
Cuthbertson. He hired lawyer and
the two conferred with his wife and
attempted to browbeat her in to con
fession. They locked her in room and
labored with her for several hours, but
without success.
A few days later Mrs Douglass re-
ceived notice to attend Judge Horton's
court and sign a deed She went, and
found in full progress a suit by her hus-
band for divorce. This was her first in
timation of his intention, and having no
time to employ counsel she went on the
stand and denied the charge of infideli-
ty. Cuthbertson was then called and
admitted it, Judge Horton promptly
granted the decree, and ordered the
wife and correspondent to be married at
once or be punished to the full extent
Of their alleged orime--6ve y ears in the
penitentiary.
Mrs. Douglass, with tears, pleaded
for freedom, but the Judge, Cuthbert-
son, Douglass, and the latters attor-
ney threatened her until she complied,
to escape disgrace and secure posses
sion of her child
She declared however, that she would
never live with her husband and ex-
claimed against the In justice of the
forced marriage She lived under Cuth-
bertson's roof for four months, but
never as his wife At length his per-
suasions becoming tntolerant she went
to Sioux Falls and applied for a divorce.

Cine says the new movement is in
