New YoRH, March lS.-Jaucs Taylor,
the man with only ono arm, but with
wives, il the police arc right, moro
numerous than the states Of tho Union,
passed his time in tho tombs yesterday,
and did not seem unhappy. ne did not
object to seeing reporters, but no re.
fused to tell them anything about his
past history. lie said his incarceration
sas all 4 mistake, that no really loved
none but the last Mrs. Taylor and that
he would stand by her to- the last.
When asked to furnish y likeness OF
himself he said it was against his rclig.
ious principles. and he secuted with
Indignation the idea that his picture
was in the rogucs' gallery. q,i,5
twas Col. 7. O. Tyron, OF No. 1867
Broadway, who arrested Taylor. Tyron,
who is = private detective, says regard
Ing his capture; HE is decidedly nm in
,crcsting character, and l believe has n
record in every state OF the Union. l
will in day or two be prepared to
swear that he has ten wives above
ground, and that his occupation is tho
marrying OF women with money. Tho
statement that Taylor made such q
show OF resistance that it was necessary
70 uso violence is absurd. Whom went
10 No. 50 st. Marks Place he walked
into my arms as mecily as mouse
you'd walk into trap. ] have in my
time arrested many persons, but Taylor
rom Taylorsvillo is tho only ono OF
hem who never put tho question, why
.m arrcstedoo' lilo seemed to know MI
shout il. On Wednesday he told the
ast Mrs. Taylor he would give her $500
nd her diamonds il she '!ctup' on him;
to-day he went 500 better-hc offered
her 500 and her diamonds but she re.
jeCtcd the proposal with scorn. ! hon
e.tly believe that Taylor has sixty or
seventy wives living. lie has been in
the business for quarter OF 4 century.
You know what that meaas."
Senator Mcmillan knew Mrs. Taylor,
nee Costc, well. When lie learned that
The new Brigham Young had taken her
in, with all tho money she possessed,
he sent her $50, incloseI in letter OF
coincidence. 81 am sorry for your mis-
fortune" said the senator, "and l trust
you will soon will be able to right your
seli."
Taylor, or Langdon, boarded at No. |
Thirty.eighth EST, Marks Place.
Mrs. Eugene Rose was his landlady.
Mrs. Rose is 4 Frcnchwoman, with
honest black eyes and the greatest con.
tempt ior old men OF sixty-fve, who say
they ore only iorty-ninc and 60 around
the country giving themselves out us
bachelors. Sho says: "Why, do you
know he looked like bishop, and used |
10 pray every night loud enough to be
heard all over the house. But he had n
terrible marrying look in his eyes,
pous as he was. But women will be |
FOOLS so long rs the world is world"
Inspector Byrnes is now in possession |
ofall the documents accessible concern
ing Taylor and his history. No one in |
New York knows him, or rather knew |
him until recently, and it is thought he |
has been operating in the south and |
vast chiefly, avoiding the east except |
when he had been successful in making |
money and wished to spend it in n |
metropolitan way. As his case stands
at prescnt he will DO brought up to-mor-
row at the Jefferson market police
court. 1t is expected that Mrs. L. a. |
Walker, OF Allegheny county, vii! be
present rs witness, also that other
women will be there either as parties
deeply interested or as witnesses. In. |
spector Byrnes has the names OF at
least six women who can produce ccrti.
tcates OF marriage in which Taylor was
me bridegroom. Louis Mathot has also
alist OF names, but, like the inspector,
Mlthho!ds them in the interest OF jus.
iiCe.
III" said Mr.. Mathot, "a perfect like.
ness OF Taylor could be had believe
wives would turn up from all sections
OF the country. My clients, Mrs. John.
SON and Mrs. Taylor are merely those
who have accidentally discovered that
he Is not their lawful husband
A reporter succeeded last night in
getting hold OF 4 memorandum kept BY
by Taylor for business purposes. 1t is
composed OF extracts and slips from
tunnels newspaper, monthly publ. |
cation, printed in Toledo, o. It is, in
TACT, sheet published with n view,
apart from making money, OF getting
people to marry. Women patronizc the |
paper lar more extensively than men, |
ana IN describing their charms OF iacc |
tiYcs. 80
Taylor has the most eligible parties |
marked with cross in front OF their
names, and it is remarkable that they
%[e ALL though strictly beautiful" on
Inc shady side OF forty. sa,4c
1t Is observable that gtho names
marked out by Mr.. Taylor arc those Of
,i danes chiefly, and it is thought
y! Tomorrow when the. court opens
II vii! be tironged with fascinating
creatures who have been his victims,
