Captain Lees yesterday received letters
from the East giving further particulars
OF Furneld's past career. In the early
part of 1891 he was night clerk in a lead
ing hotel at Hot Springs, Ark. The pro-
prietor soon got suspicious of him and dis
missed him.
Furuald next appeared in New Orleans,
where be was known as Walter Guy Fur
maid, alias HerndOn, alias Seudder. He
was then % years of age. He had with
him iorgei letter of credit for 1000 francs
on MunrG & Co., the well-known bankers
of Paris, France, in the name of Walter
Guy Furn aid, which he succeeded in cash
ing. BY his courteous demeaDor he sue
ceeded in getting himself introduced into
one of the leading social clubs OF that city
and induced one of the members to cash a
worthless check on the New Hampshire
Trust Company of Manchester, n. a.,
where his father resides. liz November,

run by His uncle. George Mann. While
there he gained the affections of wealthy
young lady from the West and betrayed
her. She had written him several COM
promising letters and after having her
ewes opened to his true character wrote
him asking for their return. Furnald at
tempted 10 levy blackmail upon her by
saying that her letters had been stolen
from him by woman, who refused to give
them up unless she got $1,000 for each. He
was finally induced TO return the letters,
but it was shrewdly suspected that he
kept few of them for future use.
He finished up his career in Boston by
clipping TO Europe with his uDcle's wife,

husband.
