HIS SCHEME DIDN'T WORK.
Christopher Thought the Pruden-
tial Was in His Power.

NEWARK, June 27.-Edward Christie
pher, the young man who yesterday was
arrested on the charge of stealing $4,000
from the Prudential Insurance Company
Of which he was manager, pleaded guilty
this morning to the charge preferred
against him and was remanded for SEN
tence. 1t is thought he has taken much
more money than it was at first sup
posed he had.
President Dryden. of the Insurance
Company, admitted that Christopher
thought he had the Company so much
in his power that Il would not dare
prosecute him for his thieving. He had
In a trunk in his house a lot of papers
OF the company. which he thought were
very compromising. He meant that if
arrested he would make the Company
release him.
Some Of the papers were copies of tele-
grams from people in authority in Tren-
ton to President Dryden informing him
OF the movements of the Insurance bill
before the House.
President Dryden says he would be
Wiling to have all the papers published.
1t Is known that much of the stolen
money was spent on women.

THREE SUITS IN ONE.
Hard Knots in the ates-Dudley-
Lipman Divorce Case.
Justice Bartlett Throws tho Whole
Matter Out of Court.

Justice Bartlett, of the Supreme Court
Brooklyn. this morning disposed OF the
peculiar and complicated Gates-Dudley
divorce case by throwing the whole mat
ter out OF court. He suggests that the
principals begin all over again.
George K Gates married Miss Annie
Dudley in 1855. The couple lived to-
gether a few months and separated.
Gates says that in 1869 he met his wife's
father in Broadway. New York. who
said that Mrs. Gates was dead.
Gates alleges that from that time until
Aug. %, 1890. he remained single, when
he married Alice s. Lipman. They lived
together at s26 One Hundred and Thirty
eighth street. New York, until Nov. TO-
1899. when they separated.
In July. 1893. Gates's former wife ap-
peared on the scene and sued him for
a divorce, naming his second wife as

was not happy one. and he had about

The first wife pressed her suit for
divorce against Gates. Mrs. Gates No.

defense, Gates puts In an answer which
admits all the allegations in the plain

by his first wife into q complaint on
which he can have his second marriage

wife, makes no objection to this remark

against her, and interposes an answer

denial of the alleged prior marriage to
Ornie Dudley. and n charge OF adultery
against Gates. from whom she also de-
mands to be divorced.
upon this answer she asks for a
counsel fee TO enable her to prove her
case"
Justice Bartlett denies the motion for
almony by saying: THE matrimonial
differences between Gates and Alice s.
Lipmon must be settled in a suit or
suits In which they occupy the position
of plaintiff and defendant. and cannot

PASTOR ScUDDER'S VICTORY.
Proprietrcss of the House He Raid
ed Held in Court.

Pastor Scudder is making Roadway in
his crusade against disorderly houses in
Jersey City. Mary Larson, proprietress
of house at 16S York street. which was
raided last night, was held in $1,000
bail for the Grand Jury to-day by JUS
tice Potts. The five women and four
men who were found in the place were
discharged.
Chief OF Police Murphy last night
asked the Board of Aldermen to
revoke the licenses of the following
places: j. ]. c. Music Hall, 80 Montgom-
cry street. Washington Guards, in
Washington street and the Tivoli Thea
ire, in Newark avenue.
This action, 1t is claimed, practically
substantiates the statement OF Pastor
Scudder that many disorderly houses
existed in Capt. Farrers precinct, al
though the latter denied it.
Charles Hutton, who is alleged to have
kept a gambling house in Jersey City,
denies the statement made by Pastor
Scudder that Hutton had said that he
maid money to the police for protec-
ton.
