BURNED THE INDICTMENTS.
HOW EPH SIMMONS, THE LOTTERY
KING, ESCAPED PUNISHMENT.
Moses CIark's Scheme Was to Take
Good Care That the Lottery Men
Did Not Get Found Out-Panic
Seized His Clients When He Died.

NEW YORK, May 2O.-The story of
the burning of 5000 indictments with the
evidence upon which they were obtained,
has been narrated 10 an Evening World
reporter by Ambrose H. Purdy. formerly
an attache of the district attorneys Of
fee. 1t occurred fifteen years ago, but
not a word of the story had been known
to the general public until today.
AT the time Moses Clark was a clerk
in the office of District Attorney
Phelps. 1t was in the heydey of lottery
king Eph Simmons's reign. Anthony
Comstock was kept busy. Time after
time the lottery dens were raided after
the evidence had been found against
them. Hundreds of indictments were
found, but strangely enough. few of
them ever came TO trial. The eXplana-
ton Of this condition, according TO Mr..
Purdy's story. is that Moses Clark was
receiving $500 a. week for taking care
OF the indictments against the lottery
men, and incidentally additional sums
for similar service in behalf of other Of
tenders. Clark grew rich. had a palatial
residence at Matawan, N. j., kept horses
by the dozen, and generally maintained
a princely style of living.
At last he was taken i'll, and it became
known he was about to die. Panic
seized his clients who knew the crimi-
mating papers which he had removed
from their proper places in the district
attorneys office were locked up in big
safe in his home in Matawan. Thither
three Of the lottery men went, but when
they reached Clark's bedside he was too
far gone to give them the combination
of the safe. They remained with him
until he died.
Then they tried themselves to open
the safe. They sent in haste for an ex-
pert safe breaker and he succeeded in
opening the great safe. 1t was their in
tention to destroy only proofs against
themselves and their associates, but
when the papers were reached it was
found they were in the utmost confusion.
Too much time would be lost in sorting
them. and so they were all thrown into
a blazing CRATE in the room next to the
one in which the corpse of Moses Clark
lay Mr.. Purdy says that Eph Simmons
was one of the three men who did the
work Another of the trio is dead. The
name of the other one, Mr.. Purdy says,
he may disclose later on.
Anthony ComstOck gives full credit to
the story Of Mr.. Purdy, and says the dis
appearance of the indictments and the
records pertaining 10 them did not cease
with the death Of Moses Clark. Such
things take place even now.

The Romance of the HertzletS
 Rather Brief.
After Doing the Naughty Stare Act in California. Ethel Wants
 Divorce, You Know.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 17.-Mrs. Ethel Barry Hertzlet, the daughter of an emi- nent London musician. has brought suit for divorce against Gerald Spencer Hertzlet, son oi Sir Edward Hertzlet, formerly secretary to the earl of Beaconstield, and at present librarian of the foreign office in England. The wife alleges infdelity and desertion, and asks for the custody of their three children, now with their father in Eng land. The Hertzlets came here ID 1885, settled in Lake county and began to raise thoroughbred stock Their la borers were sons or nephews of titled Englishmen and the colony lived in luxurious style, yachting, coaching, private theatricals and playing cricket, and occasionally farming. In 1892 the Hertzlets organized theatrical com pany and made a tour of the coast. This absorbed most of the fortune Then cable from London was received offering the husband g lucrative en- gagement and offering $l,0O0 for ex- penses of the trip to England. He de- parted, leaving his wife behind. The divorce suit is the outcome, the wife being suspicious of the identity of the sender of the telegram.

A MATTER OF FIGURES.
What the Wilson Bill Cost Apache
 County.

The editor of the Winslow Mail makes a mathematical calculation which proves the correctness of theory advanced by the platform builders at the late Republican convention in Apache county. Says The Mail:
 Some comment has been provoked by the Republican county platform condem ming the tariff agitation and the Wilson bill. and asserting that it has damaged the sheep industry Of this county to the extent of $250, ,00G each year. But if one will stop to figure he will find the estimate is not much of. There are about 2Ja,O00 sheep in Apache county, not counting the vast aocks of the Navajo Indians. If six pounds be taken as the average fleece for the year and figure it at 15 cents, the price prevailing in 1892, then at the present price, we have half the sum named. The depreciation in the value of the animals will nearly make the other half. Figure it out yourselves; do it carefully and be sure you do it before election.
