HIS NAME LAMB
During His swindiing Career in
Chicago.


CHICAGO, Oct. o. Chicago police
authorities are of the opinion that
Stonewall j. De France, who was ar
rested in Detroit, is the man who
swindled Lawyer Jacob Newman out of
some thousands of dollars.
q Last February a man, whose descrip-
ton tallies closely with that of De
France and Elliott, turned up in Chica-
go. He gave the name of Lyman J..
Lamb. He ingratiated himself into
Attorney Newman's favor, and began
business with Hermann Schaffner & Co.
One day he presented draft for S25, 900,
on which he wished several thousand
dollars advanced. The bank refused to
honor the draft unless Lamb was prop
erly identified. Attorney Newman was
prevailed upon and placed his name
upon the back of the draft. Lamb dis
appeared and the paper proved to be
worthless. On the return of the dis
honored draft Attorney Newman was
compelled to settle for the amount adj
vanced. Just what amount the attor-
ney advanced was never made public.
1T is true that we gave Cameron

would not have given him $50 credit on

New Workers Celebrate.

CHICAGO, Oct. IA happy crowd of
New Workers celebrated the Vigilant's
victory this afternoon. The central
figure in the party was Commodore
John S. Dickerson, whose yacht, the
Madeline, defended the cup against the
yacht Countess of Dutferin in 1876.
Capt. William Osgood, of the New York
Yacht club, was another of the
party. Commodore Dickerson said:
Il anticipated the Vigilant's
victory in all the races to be sailed.
While good deal has been said about
the Valkyrie's wonderful sailing quail
tiles. it has been of the same character
as the great speed of horses when run
ming alone" Capt. Osgood attributed
the Valkyrie's failure to a departure
from tried models. "Tne very qualities
upon which they depend for the best
speed were the qualities which de-
tracted from her speed"
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1893-10-08

sailed five miles. 1t was about this
to south southwest. The Vigilant
hauled aboard her spinnaker in a re-
markably short space of time, the work
done by the seamen on the American
boat being i'll that action especially
commendable.
The Vulkyrie held on to her spin
maker for at least seven minutes after
this. Main sheets were tautened at this
time on both boats. The Valkyrie re-
manned at her mile distance on the
weather quarter of the Viligant and
could not gain an inch. Half an hour
after this the wind shifted again, al
most back to the point that it had come
from at the start. Once more spinuakers
were rugged.
THE WIND
was about equal on the sails of either,
and the Valkyrie could not improve her
position. On the contrary she rather
dropped off. The VigiIant went on
again, and did not stop in that process
to the end of the journey, The Amer
lean boat made her turn of the outer
mark amid the greatest enthusiasm.
AS she rounded the Vigilant's men
hauled down her balloon lib topsail
once more in splendid style, and in
place of it ran up piece of canvas that
looked like napkin in comparison
with the other tremendous spread that
had been seen. The wind was now
about west, perhaps half point to the
south, aud instead of a beat home, as
all hands had relied upon, it became
question of a long reach, with perhaps
a tack or two toward the finish to find
the home line. 1t was OH the reach
that the cutter was supposed to be at
her best. The reach lasted after the
Valkyrie had made her turn, and both
boats were heading for home, about one
mile. During that reach, with all things
equal in the way of wind, the Vigilant
actually gained on the cutter
Then there was another shift in the
wind. ard the
BOATS WE'RE COMPELLED
to haul sheets aft as far as possible, and
sail closely by the wind.
In the lateral distance betweensthe
stern of the Vigilant and the bow of the
Valkyrie. the latter certainly appeared
to gain ground.
The appearance of the Valkyrie in
oyerhauling the Vigilant was consider
able, but all the time she was sagging
off to leeward, while tie center-boarder
was holding her head to the wind, and
in that way gaining by making TO
windward. The Valkyrie caught q
slant of wind that the Vigilant did not,
| and picked up probably quarter of a
| mile through its means. At this juno
ture there was probably ten-mile
| breeze.
Up to the end OF the course there was
no incident to be recorded further than
those that have been mentioned. The
Vigilant crossed the line on the same
old tack, while the Valkyrie. having
sagged away down to leeward, as a cut
ter is bound to do in sail close on the
| wind, had to go about before she could
| cross.
If it were possible to judge from the
movements of the boats today, con-
clusion might be drawn from the spank
ing on the water that the Vigilant per-
formed, while the Valkyrie cut through
the seas instead of going upon top of
them and coming down with fiat pad
| die on each bow, so to speak, possibly
that theory is correct.

officials are satisfied that the highly
sensational Perrien abduction mystery
is now certain to be unraveled. 1t is
they will be able to prove, that he was
the chief instigator of the Perrien alb
ductiou.
TO him and an associate is credited
the laying of the plans, the writing of
the note which lured Perrien from his
home. and the arrangement of all the
details. 1t is even limited now that
De France himself drove the coupe
in which Perrien was spirited away.
Early this morning De France was
taken from his cell in the Grand River
avenue station, heavily ironed, to the
central station, where he was fully
identified by j. K. Wagner, president OF
the First National Bank of Kalamazoo,
and Sheriff Vosburg, of the same county,
as the man who on Nov. 90, 1891, swim
died that bank out of $4,000 on New
York draft for $4,000 in exactly the
same manner as the Minnesota
banks were swindled later. 1t
was decided that De France
to leave the state. The Perrien abduc-
ton was of the first consequence, and
he must be held here at all hazards to
answer to that In case of any hitch in
that direction he Will be turned over to
the Kalamazoo officials as having the
first claim on him, but such con-
tlngency is not expected to arise.
There is no longer any room for
doubt that the details of the whole plot
have been placed in their possession
within the last few weeks, and that the
arrest of De France is the first result of
that important information. Others
who are implicated are being closely
Swallowed, and their arrest may occur at
any moment.
About De France personally there is
very little known, except that he is sup
posed to be in the insurance business.
For about year he has been living in
sumptuous style at 645 Trumbull avenue
with his wife. The house is a we'll
built brick, and De France paid $4,000
cash for 1t. He is also said to own sew
eral other pieces Of property about the
city. He first came into notoriety
some months ago when he was ar
rested at the instance of the Imperial
Life Insurance company, who al
legged that he and his wife had worked
the graveyard insurance racket OIL them
to the extent of several thousand dol
had insured his mother-in-law while
knowing that she was suffering from a
cancer which was incurable, and likely
to cause her death at any time. The
case came up In the police court and
both defendants were discharged. De
France then began suit against the COM
pany in the United States court, claim
Ing $4,000 damages, but the case has
never been tried. De France was not
known in business circles, but he al
ways had plenty Of money, and those on
the inside wondered where he got it all.
He would leave the city for time and
return flush with greenbacks, and even
a European trip did not diminish a
purse. when it is said that he bought
several paintings of no mean merit.
The greatest point about this mysteri-
GUS parsonage is that his real rame is
not De France. but what it is has not
come out, and is only known to a few
persons in this city.

of the Sioux City GirI-Much
Money Spent for and Against
the Prisoner-His Wife Loyal
to the Last.
Dies MONIES, To-, Oct. 1.-THE Iowa
supreme court today handed down de-
ciSion in the celebrated murder case of
Fred s. Grafton, who was convicted in
the district court at Des Moines in July,
1892, for the murder of Mabel Swarts IN
this city on the night of March %, 1892
The supreme court reverSeS the Opin-
ion of the lower court and grants the
defendant new trial on the ground
that the lower court erred in refusing
him a change of venue, which he de-
manded because the community was
prejudIced against him by newspaper
accounts of the tragedy. This is the
first time the Iowa supreme court has
ever recognized that newspaper ac-
counts of crime are prejudicial to de-
PENDANTS to an extent sufficient for
grounds for change of venue. The
defendant, Grafton, Is the twenty-five
year-old son of Maj. Grafton, of Spring.
field, Ill, The girl whom he killed,
Mabel Swarts, was the daughter of ex-
Mayor Swarts, of Sioux City. She was
very handsome girl. and passed here as
Crafton's wife, but after her death it
developed that they had never been
married. Grafton claimed on the trial
of the case that the shooting was acct
dental. He was twIrling a revolver in
his hand when it exploded. Circum-
stantial evidence was introduced.
however, showing that Grafton had
enticed the Swarts girl from her home
In Sioux City. and it was believed killed
her for the purpose of getting rid
of her to avoid unpleasant develop
ments. Crafton's wife, the beautiful
daughter Of Capt. Dufford, of Atlantic,
who married him against her par
entS wishes, pawned her jewels to en-
ploy lawyers to defend her hus-
band, and it was through her efforts
that the case was carried to the supreme
court. Grafton was sentenced to fifteen
years in the penitentiary. and he has
already served one year. He has a
brother living in Kansas City, and was
known throughout many Western
city. He is a very handsome young
man with winning ways, and had
many friends who did all they could for
him to secure his acauittal when his
case was tried. Col. Swarts. the father
of the murdered girl, spared neither
time nor money in prosecuting
his daughters slayer. He employed
the most able counsel obtainable
to assist in the prosecution of the case,
and appeared very much affected at the
disgrace and tragieal end of his daugh-
ter, who, he claimed, was an innocent
girl before Grafton enticed her from
brought her to Des Moines.
The decision of the supreme court is
great surprise TO those familiar with
the circumstance. The court practically
holds that Grafton might have been
guilty of manslaughter, but not murder
in the second degree, as was found by
the jury.

After inquiries, the two banks found
that the drafts were good, and Elliott
