ERAsTUs wIMAN ARRESTED.
He Has Defrauded r. G. Dun & Co. Out
of $22o,ooo.

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-Erastus Wiman,
formerly manager Of r. Ct. Dun & Cos
mercantile agency, builder of Staten
Island Rapid Transit Railroad, and a
prominent advocate of the annexation
of Canada to the United States, was
arrested to day charged with fOrgeries
amounting to 1929, 900. He was ar
raigned before Judge MARITIME, in
chambers, in the General Sessions and
committed to the Tombs in Default of
$25, 900 bail.
Mr.. Wiman expressed some surprise
at his arrest and then asked if there
wouldbe any opportunity to get bail.
He said he ought to have a lawyer and
he would like to be represented by
counsel. An effort was made by friends
to get bail late in the afternoon, but
without success. Neither did Mr..
Wiman have counsel when he was
taken to the General Sessions by the
detectives. AS soon SIS 1t was known
that Mr.. Wiman had been arrested
Assistant District Attorney Lindsay
made known the complaint on which
the indictments were found. There
was no signature to the complaint Dut
its authorship is credited to ex Dlstrlct
Attorney Delaney NicOll. Summar-
lied. the complaint says that Wiman
was not a partner in the firm of R. G..
Dun & Co, but that he was upon a
salary and commission, and that by
various acts of embezzlement, through
misrepresentation, concealments, and
breaches of agreement, misuse OF the
power conferred in him, and gross
usurpation of powers with which he
was trusted, he succeeded during the
years 1888, 1890, 1891, 1892 and up to
February, 1898, in stealing rom MIR.

him from his employ and has never

seen him since. On learning that his
crimes had been detected, Wiman
offered to transfer to Dun certain real
estate interests on Staten Island of
doubtful value, but Dun, learning that
Wfman was ~insolvent, refused to &C
cept them.
Dun did not submit the proof of
Wiman's crimes to the authorities on
drst discovering them for several
reasons In the first place he was
moved by considerations of sympathy
for Wiman's family with whom he had
been on terms of friendship for many
years, and the .piteous appeals for
mercy which Wiman made to him in
a letter. In the second place. he had
then no appreciation of the extent of
Wiman's embezElement nor of the
length Of the time during which he had
systematically abused his confidence,
and betrayed the trust reposed in him.
The whole history of his many doings
had to be unearthed from the volumin-
Gus records Of the business of four or
five years.

Greytown to Bluefields, where they
were to do sorc work for the navigs-

circulated that she had gone down in

ship were lost in a gale which some
time ago blew terribly across that body
of dangerous water.
While the confirmation of the loss of
the ship is made in the dispatch for

MISS POLLARD DEFENDED.
A Young Kentuckian Who Says He Held
Her in High steem.

FRANKFORT, KY. Feb. 21.-The g
pie OF this city and county are all agog
over the testimony taken at Lexington
in the Pollard Breckenridge scandal
case. The testimony of Catesby Haw-
klns, who lives near the Woodford
county line, it will be remembered, was
very sensational, and detailed an
alleged mock marriage said to have
taken place between Alex. Julian.
brother of Mayor Ira Julian, of this
city, and Miss Pollard at the residence
of Squire Tinsley, at Hardinsville that
after the marriage the pair, both in q
maudlin condition, retired together.
Frankfort people are very severe in
their d-enunciations of Colonel Breckin-
ridges attorneys and of Witness Haw-
kins on account of this testimony,
which people in a position to knowsay
is a tissue of falsehOods manufactured
out of the whole cloth.
Squire Tinsley is said by those who
know him, to be one of the most sober
and highly respected residents of
Shelby county, and the talk of a
drunken debauch being allowed at his
house Is fatty contradicted by all who
know him.
Mr.. Tinsley's S, apparent desire to tell

Of the testimony given made him rather
q good witness for Miss Pollard.
Early in his testimony he denounced
as unqualifiedly false every word
Catesby Hawkins said in a deposition
in this case. He declared that HaW-
kins was not at the Tinsley house at
the time of the mock marriage. nor
WIS anyone else save Mr.. Tinsley's
family and Squire Tinsley, who dropped
in to visit his brothers family.
Mr.. Julian further stated that the
mock marriage vas performed about
II o'clock in the morning. and that he
went to his own home before night.
Under pressure he admitted that he
had kissed her, and was finally induced
to relate the circumstances. They had
taken a walk one afternoon down to q
bridge, and seated themselves on an
abutment.
In some way the kiss came about.
Did you place your hands upon her
personR" was asked, and the listeners
became e~xpeetant. Mr.. Julian hest
tated before replying, as be ran his
hand through his hair. Eyes, sir, I
did"
There was a pause, and just as the
attorney was about to PROFOUND an
other question, Mr.. Julian manfully
blurted out, II just threw n y arm
around her and kissed her right, just
like a girl ought to be kissed"
There was an explosion of laughter
which was not done for some seconds.
Under further pressure Mr.. Julian ad-
mitted that he had kissed er on other
occasions, as he had kissed other
girls, and the substance of bis remarks
is really given in one of his replies,
which was: Il mean no disrespect to
the people OF my community when /
say that l thought her to be as pure
and chaste IS other girls living in my
neighborhoOd."

THE MYSTERY OF A MAN.
The Latest Developments About the
Stranger at the Hospital.

Stranger at the Hospital.
Chief Connolly received another
curious letter this morning in reference
to stranger Droughp, the Grady hos
pital mystery.
The letter, in place of an address,
had Chief COnnolly's picture pasted to
the envelope, with the superscription,
ATLANTA, Ga" The letter came from
Lumpkin, Georgia. and reached the
chiefs Office by means of the newspaper
cut attached to the envelope.
The letter stated positively that the
stranger was none other than Mr..
Hogshead, whose former residence was
thirteen miles north of the town Of
Fayetteville, North Carolina. The
letter stated that the stranger was
reared by a Mr.. McAllister, and went
on to give details of the strangers life
and pedigree. The letter was signed
by B. H. Watts.
AS O as Chief Connolly read the
letter he dispatched Call Officer John
Abbott to the hospital for the stranger,
and in a few moments Droughn vas
piled with questions. He could not be
shaken from the conviction that his
name was Droughn, and all arguments
to the contrary were futile.
Nearly all of the necessary facts
about the man have been determined
with reasonable accuracy. He is from
Murphy, North Carolina. Everything
Droughn has said has confirmed this
view and it is probable that a man viii
be sent with him to morrow to Murphy,
where Droughn claims to have three
horses and 1925 IN money. Droughn
insists that he can go to Murphy by
himself. He wants some n with
him, however, for he Is unable to talk
intelligently.-AhGntG Journal, 2Ist.
By way of explanation, we will say
that the mysterious stranger is the vic
tim of a brutal assault and robbery IN
Atlanta, resulting in a conclusion or
the brain, rendering him unable TO tell
his name or place of residence. lt Is
thought that he halls from North Caro-
lima, however, and on that account We
Dubiish the above. His name rs Brown,

"NoT LAWFUL MONEY"
Olney's Opinion in Regard to Certain
Silver Certificates.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 2O.-As
sietanG Register of the Treasury II. Il.
Smith, of Michigan, conforming to the
request of the President, to-day ten
dered his resignation.
Attorney General OIney to day, in
replay to a formal request dated Feb.
18TH, sent to the Secretary of the Treas
ury an opinion in regard to the legal
status of silver certificates, in which he
holds as follows:
"Silver certificates are just what
they purport to be or their face, and
by their terms-that is, they attest the
fact that the United States had on de-
post so many silver dollars, which
will be paid to the holder upon the pre-
s~entatiOn and surrender of such certlf
Gates. If they can be regarded as
money at all, it is only because the
United States agrees to receive them
for customs, taxes, and all public dues,
and only to that extent and for those
specific purposes"
In my opinion, "lthe Attorney-Gen-
eral adds, "they are not lawful money
within the meaning of section 4, of the
act of June 30, 1874, and section 9, of
the act of July IL, 1882"
The opinion of the Attorney General,
it is understood, was asked by Secre
tary Carlisle because of the d~isinclina-
ton of the National banks to receive
silver certificates in exchange for legal
tenders presented for redemption.
It's effect will be to contract the use
of silver within the bounds specified in
tho decision
