Yesterday II had been charged that detective en-
ployed al William c. Irvngs agency. No. 141 Broad
way had falsely registered foriyseven men in the

| been denied. Edward Waters, whose mother has Il
odgng house at that number, told Tribune reporter
that two of the had evidently committed perjury,
for neither his mother he had heard Of them
The other men had actually lived in the house long
as thoy said they had. Waters would make affidavit
to this His brother, who is policeman lives in the
house and would hardly allow any wholesale fraud to
! be carried OH under his nose Edward Waters says
| that twelve OF the have voted from the house
for several years.

thing about any colonization in his district by Repub

Shepard swore that no had lived in the election and
Assembly districts for four months and in the county
and state for four years. Yet he is Boston criminal
and year ago was serving term In Massachusetts
| penal Institution Ills picture has been secured from
the Boston RogIes Gallery that there can be
no doubt about his Identity.
Tho Boston records show that Shepard was con-
vlcted in the Superior Court there Of being idle and
disorderly, and was sentenced on July L. 1854, to
| six months in the tho House OF Industry. On Oc
! lobcr IL 1887, in the Superior Court he was sent
to tho RefOrmatory for the larceny Of Il watch and
chain, worth 1928, from John Cato. lie was next
convicted In the Municipal Court there OF being idle
and disJderly, and on April IL, 1880, he was SEN
| fenced 10 tho House OF Correction for six months
| On June g, 1880, he sent to the House Of Cor
recton FIR SIX months having been convicted In the
Superior Court OF being lido and dsorderly lie can
not have lived in this state even year. That Is
An idea OF the extent Of the fraudulent naturaza-
