Recently an advertisement has ap.
pesred in the city press soliciting the
privilege of corresponding with an ac-
complished young lady by the adver-
tiser, with the object OF possible matri-
mony.
Answers came thick and fast. and no
doubt many young women were eilly
and foolish enough to mako known their
identity to the rascal referred to, and are
now repentant.
The same fellow was written up in the
HERALD a short time since for insulting
women and young girls in the vicinity
OF the postoffice, where be generally
tramps around. 1t is alleged that he
lives with woman at sort OF q mas
sage establishment. This place has been
located here for some time.
The fellow referred to made bis advent
in the city about two months ago, and
at once made himself conspicuous upon
the thoroughfares near the Westminster
hotel by approaching unprotected wo-
men; young girls in their teens were
also the objects OF his attentions, and
many regret the day they came in con-
humanity was driven out of San Fran
cisco some time ago. He was arrested
time and again in that city, but he al
ways managed to escape felony charge
and avoided serious punishment. The
police OF that city did not, however, for
get to take the individuals mug, and
his picture adorns the rogues' gal
lery OF the Bay city, the number
given this unsavory fellow being
9S44. A copy OF the picture was sent to
under surveillance ever since his arrival
here, and he will soon be compelled to
leave the city or be locked up.
The police betieve he has an accom-
plice, who in some manner ascertains
the name OF q prominent woman who ia
suffering from some chronic disease, and
manages to. persuade her to visit the es-
tablshment. When this is accom-
plished the patient is good for several
hundred dollars blood money, for once
in the clutches of the alleged doctor she
has to produce the necessary amount to
satisfy his black mailing propensities.
On a certain afternoon not many weeks
ago the ''capper" managed to get a we'll
known married woman in his clutches.
stated her complaint, and. OF courae,
was told it was an easy matter to per-
manently cure her. The female who
called into requisition, and the trio
worked their case to perfection. The
unfortunate patient was put through an
alleged course of treatment and was put
to bed. She WAS then given some kind

next morning, when, to her astonish-
ment, she awoke in strange apartment
with an unknown man in the same
room. She made an outery. the doc
tor" rushed into the room, pretended to
him ont OF the house. He accused the
macy with the fellow who was
elected, and with having permitted him
to remain all night. This was all a put
up job. The blRckmailer threatened to
expose the woman unless che paid we'll
for silence. OF course, she paid the
fellow $50 in cash and gave him her
jewelry, and redeemed the articles
shortly aftsrward for 500. This is only
one of many disgraceful affairs. He has
on several occasions openly displayed
women's jewelry, mostly diamonds,
which he claimed he obtained for "med-
ical" services, when it is supposed by
the police they came in his possession
no doubt in the same way as described
above. His career in this city is about
at an end, as numerous policemen and
the entire detective force are on the
alert for this polished rascal. 1t would
be fortunate for the public if some one
of his victims would come forward and
appear against him, for if ever a man
deserved to be put behind the bars it is
this fellow.
