ITS ACCOUNTS n0DDLBD
The Convicted Italian Banker
Testifes in the Suit to Null
a Fraudulent Deed.

The well-dressed gentlemen who usually
occupy the benches at the Court OF
Chancery, and and something to in
terest them in equity practice, save way
this morning to a crowd of dirty tall
ans interested in the proceedings of the
suit to have the transfer OF property
made by he embezzling banker, Mastro-
pietro, 10 his s~en-in-law, Pelango, set
aside. The hearing was before Vice
Chancellor Pitney, and the small room
had an unpleasant odor; Ma%stropietro'o
deposifors being an unusually dirty lot
of Italians.
Mastropietro was brought down from
the County Jail by Deputy Sheriff Lyons
and Charles Fisher. the son Of the Coun-
ty-Clerk. His appearance in the court
caused intense excitement among the
crowd in the benches, none of the Italians
having any idea that the banker was TO
be placed on the witness stand
Yesterday afternoon Counsellor Melosh
who arranged the transfer, was the only
witness examined. There were no devel-
opments of a startling nature in his
testimony, he testifying simply to the
drawing up of the necessary papers IN
the case. He knew nothing of the bust
ness rGill10nS DetNvtetl opASSiO H
his son-in-law. This morning a number
of the depositors who claimed thai the
embezzling banker was not in debt TO
his son-in-law were examined, but as
they could only testify from hearsay and
not facts nothing of n value was
learned from their
CONVICTED BANKER TESTlFlES;
Mastropietro was then placed on the
stand and the greasy books in which ne
kept his accounts were piled up N ar0nt
of the Vice Chancellor. Mr.. Joseph Eli
oramo oficiated as interpreter. MAESTRO
pietro testified that the transfer 81 the
property which was valued at 500, was
made on January 2. 1884, and that ne
the transfer because he was IN
debt to Pelango. who ne claimed had
deposited a large sum of money with MIN
and for which he had failed to pay inter
est. He testified that he RECEIVED the
money from Pelango early in Deceinoer,
'93, but c~ontradicted this in his test
mony later. He said then that he was to
receive the money in December, put
Peiare decided to deposit it later.
MUDDLED UP ACCOUNTS.
The entry of the deposit could not be
found on the books in the accounts OF
December. but on January 6 a mlXed-up
ACCOUNT, of Pelango's was found. a
nurcber of entries of this account were
erased and Mastropietro was unable 70
expiain wig he had erased them. Inc
accounts are in such a confused ftata
that for the remainder of this after
noon the counsel and Court will en-
deavor to discover where they are OF.

WASHINGTON, Jam. 49,, 1Ss5.-The
State Department has received a report
on the wine crop of France for 1879

A HEARTLEss SCAMP.
Baker Leuscheiie Extradicted From
Baltimore for Eigamy.

EE1llHEzIVfc "
A short, stocEy little German, with
blue eyes, fair hair, rosy cheeks and
stubby moustache, peered wistfully
through the barred door of a cell in the
County Jail his morning, n from time
to time refreshed himself at the huge
spittoon in the corridor. He is Charles
George Leuschelle, n stands a remark
ably good chance of spending several
years in State Prison for bigamy OF a
peculiarly heartless character. Leu
schelle had a bakers store in Hoboken
not long g II had lots of trouble with
the S. P. c.. A. when he threw a live cat
into his oven. About that time he met
Mrs. Mary Bostwick, a widow with
So, 500 left to her by her husband. The
baker coveted the money, but could not
separate it from the owner and he was
obliged to marry her. Then when he
got his fingers on the Widows bank it
grew small by agrees and beautifully
less. When all of it was gone he skip
ped away, leaving her destitute.
In the meantime his wife had been
making inquiries n found that the
scamp hae a wife' and two children in
Max Salinger and hired a detective.
After a long search Leuschelle was
discovered in Baltimore working as bar
tender in a saloon.
Extradition proceedings were begun and
last night he arrived in this city IN
charge of a detective. Ills first wife
wrote a letter to Mr.. Salinger, enclosing
his photograph and one representing her
self and his two children, and told the
lawyer that he had three times deserted
her when she was in a delicate condi-
ton and hadn't q sous and she had for
given him.
The Baker denies that he was ever
married in Saxony. He will be tried

The speaker was a prominent medical

INTR0DUOER OF QUININE.
How the Late DIR. Maillot Instituted
a Radical Reform.

a Radical Reform.
An important epoch in the career OF
DIR. Maillot, a distinguished French ply
stefan who died in Paris lately at, the
age of ninety-one years, illustrates the
great timidity of medical science in tax
ing UP a new method of treatment or
abandoning an old one. DR.. MaAlot is
known to the medical world as the prac-
teal introducer into French practice of
the use of %quinine in the treatment of
malarial and other fevers.
In 1892, when the French were conduct
ing a campaign of conquest in Algeria,
the mortality among the troops and
colonists there was frightful. France
was being continually called upon for
this terrible loss, chiefly from fever in
cidental to the climate and the life the
French in Algeria were leading.
Al At that tin time tie practice 3 tsaes of Of bleed Ing
white" was the Injunction which
Broussais, the medical master of the
French, gave his followers when tbs
condition of the soldiers was reported
to him.
At Bone. in one year, out of an effect
i've force of $4,000 men 1,lco died Of i'll,
ness in the hospital. Most of them had
beer stbled to the white"
At this time the effects of sulphate OF
ouinine Were known, but few physicians
ventured to employ it.. Maillot had in
I0r6SteQ nlnlSeIf IN the new remedy
and going to Bone in the medical ser
vice of the Government, he resolved te
see If it would not reduce the frightfu
morality, which was one to every three
and a half men who entered the hopi-
tai.
AT first he employed the quinine
merely as an adjunct to the bleeding
He soon found that bleeding was kill
ing the men and that ouinine was saw.
ing them. Little by little he left off
bleeding, to the great scandal of the
medical profession.
Exactly in proportion as the bleeding
ceased the deaths in the hospital de-
creased. In two years the deaths fell OFF
from one to three and a half of all who
entered the hospital to ore in twenty,
and finally to. one in forty-six.
Maillot, quite naturally enough, be-
came an earnest opponent of bleeding,
but he was SO actively resisted ard SO
ceaselessly viviied by members Of the
medical profession that he became
emrbittered toward his colleagues.
Nearly thirty years passed before Mail
lot saw the complete triumph of his
Ideas. Doctors continued to bleed their
patients heartily for all maner of ills.
But in 1860 Maillot was made command
