Bold Confidence Game Successfully
Worked on Consul-General Ruiz
of Ecuador = The Old
Man Ruined. 81

New York, Oct. 16.-Domingo T.. Ruiz,
consul-general of Ecuador, who was ar
rested on the charge of forging the name
of Gustav Preston, Boston merchant
and vice-consul, to two notes of $1,000
each, was brought before the police
court today. The proceedings disclosed
that Ruiz, who is in his dotage. is the
the victim OF band of conspirators who
feeced him out of $50 900. and in their
greed for more induced him to endorse
two $1,000 notes bearing the forged sigma
ture of Preston. The principal in the
conspiracy is said to be Mrs. Bertha
Laws, the adopted daughter of Ruiz.
Ruiz became acquainted with the
Laws woman through an advertisement,
she answering his advertisement for q
housekeeper. She was then known as
Miss Bertha Krimslat, of Stockholm. In
the course of few weeks she persuaded
Ruiz that she was his daughter by a
former mistress. Ruiz, finally adopted
her as his daughter. This led to his
arrangement with his family, and he
went to live with the woman.
Later, Bertha introduced VIM. Laws,
d UOokmdkSr auu general epOftluS maus
to her alleged father as her husband.
Ruiz lavished $50, 900 on the woman, but
she needed more, and, acting under her
guidance, Ruiz called on Vice Coneul
Preston at Boston and requested loan
of $4,000. Preston cheerfully complied,
and Ruiz and his adopted daughter re-
turned to New York, and she proceeded
to spend the money, which did not last
long, however.
The copspirators then concoeted
scheme to raise more money. Ruiz
states that in August Mrs. Laws brought
to him the two $1,000 forged noges, and
said Preston, knowing the consul general
was embarrassed, had sent him by mail
the two notes. Ruiz never suspected
them of being forgeries, and at once signed
! them. A man named Simon Epstein
advanced the money on one of the notes,
and when it was pronounced forgery,
he foreclosed the mortgage which was
given to protect him, on the furniture
in Mrs. Laws house, and had the con-
sul-general arrested on the charge of
forgery.
Owing to the absence of important
witnesses the case was adjourned till
Wednesday and bail given at $1,000.
The consuPs son offered security, but
the Justice could not receive it. To-
morrow, however, the money will be de-
posted with the city chamberlain and
Ruiz will be released. A warrant was
issued and Mrs. Laws was arrested to-

New YORK, Oct. 16. - Charles A.
White, who claims to be representa-
tive of the London illustrated News. is
at police headquarters, charged with
grand larceny by his wife, who was
who was formerly Mrs. Nagle, daughter
of wealthy merchant of Cheyenne,
Wyo.
According to Whites story of the af-
fair, he met Mrs. Nagle at Hot Springs,
Ark, in the summer of 1891, and they
became interested in each other.
He finally made the woman
what he termed business
proposition" and offered to marry her
for 100000. He went to Europe, and
during his absence correspondent with
Mrs. Nagle, who decided to accept his
offer. and go informed White by mail.
According to his story, he at once re-
turned to America, and proceeded to
Cheyenne, where they were married.
Previous to the ceremony, an attor-
ney drew up regular contract,
in which the bride promised to settle
upon White the amount he asked for.
White says she paid $25. 900 in cash, but
still owed 5000, which she was unable
to raise, and he therefore took securi.
tiee. which caused his arrest.
According to Mrs. Whites story, the
prisoner obtained securities and bonds
worth $150,000 from her, F by
means of violence and fraud,
and also practically abducted her
16-year-old son. 1t is said shortly
after their marriage, White abused his
wife and compelled her to sign mort
cages on various pieces of property, be-
sides forcing her to endorse a note
for $75, 1000, payable 80 days
after date. He then left his wife, tax
ing with him stocks and bonds belong
ing to her valued at $40 900, and on his
arrival here converted them into cash
and kept the proceeds.
White also disposed of mortgages
signed by Mrs. White, but an Injunction
granted in Cheyenne prevented the
transfers from being officially recorded
there.
Sheriff Killy, of Cheyenne, who is
here with requisition papers, says as soon
as White learned that the Cheyenne
police had complained to Superintend-
ent Byrnes about the detention of young
Nagle, he promptly put the boy on a
train and sent him to Rock Island,
Ill, where the boys grandfather lives.
The case was brought to the attention
of the police by a telegram from Chey-
enne, asking for Whites arrest, and re-
questing them to secure the boy, George
Nagle.

When to Stop.

Amber, bright and versatile lady
philosopher who writes for the Chicago
Journal, gives utterance to many sage
and pithy sermons for the benefit of the
youth of the land. In recent contri-
button she touches the keynote of truth
In saying:
ssHow few people know when to stop.
If the preacher knew when to stop
preaching, his sermons would be seventy
per cent. more effective. If the genial
fellow knew when to stop drinking
whisky, how different would be the
sequel of his reckless life. If the funny
man knew when to cease his jokes, how
much keener their relish would be. If
the moralizer knew when to put a period
to his moralizing, how much more last
ing would be the flavor of his philoso-
ply. If the well-meaning friend knew
when to hold his tongue, how welcome
his silence would be. If the frank and
outspoken creature who makes it point
to tell us that our gowns are unbe-
coming, that our hats are out of
fashion, and that the wrinkles are get
ting in their fine work around the cor
ners of our once brilliant eyes, knew
when to practice politeness, how much
weaker the impulse to make way with
her would become. If the popular man
knew when to withdraw, how much
more regretfully we should see him go.
If the politician knew when to retire to
private life, how much more fragrant
his memory would be. If we all knew
just when to die, and could do it, how
much truer our epitaphs would be-"
