WORKING THE PREACHERS.
The Career of Fakir Nathaniel Bonaparte
Sykes, Alias Nathan Fenwick.

It turns out that Victor Fenwick. who
"has been working tho preachers OF
Richmond" as he himself expressed it,
was we'll known In this city as Nathaniel
Bonaparte Sykes, who halls from Norfolk,
and it is thought by those who are ac-
quainted with him that he could be found
In that city.
In the spring OF 1889 a stalwart. nicely
dressed young man applied for employ
ment ct the printing establishment OF
Juan A. Pizzini, but was told that there
was no place for such a young man as
himself, but that a boy TO clean the
office, run errands, deliver work. and such
like mental duties was wanted.
To the surprise Of all, he accepted the
position, and filed the duties faithfully
for several months. until discharged for
stealing. He has a very bad record, and
shamelessly talked TO those who knew
him OF his numerous dishonest acts. He
came from Washington TO this city, and
says that he worked numerous schemes
In that city TO make money dishonesty,
not the least Of which was to get married,
and so outrage the tolerance OF his wifes
family as TO make II necessary for him
to flee the wrath OF his father-in-law. He
beat" his way 10 this city a reporter
of the Washington Post, having printed
card prepared for that purpose.
His favorite game is TO make plausible
appeals to preachers and charitable peo-
pie and secured clothes and aid from
preachers In Washington before coming
here. He made no effort TO conceal his
identity while here, and told boastingly
of the things here related. When living
here he was in constant correspondence
with a detective agency, and seemed de-
sirous of becoming a detective. He is
large, innocent-faced young man, whose
address and guileless countenance Is
calculated to deceive the most suspicious.
He is not unknown to the police Of this
city.
On the night OF December II. 1889. he
was arrested by Officer John r. Enright
on the charge of stealing from the house
of Mrs. l.. K. Stanley, with whom he
boarded. clothing and Jewelry of the value
of ten dollars belonging to another board
er. II. w. Meador On the police records
appear the aliases of McKyre, John john
son, and W. =. Wilkinson. The Justice
convicted the accused, and sent him to
Jail for four months. The man left here
soon after the expiration OF his sentence.
and the next that his Richmond acquaint-
ances heard Of him was the receipt by
Mr. Pizz,ni of marked copy of West
robbery, in which the entire outfit of
printing Office was stolen. This paper
was sent by Sykes himself.
The supposition was that Sykes was the
guilty party.
