HALF CENTURY OF CRIME
Arrest of Seventy-three- Year-Old
Crook at Philadelphia.
Chauncy johnson, Whom Inspector
Byrnes Considered the Shrewdest
Criminal Alive, Again Nabbed. =.

Philadelphia, Oct. 5.-Chauncy johnson,
aged seventy three years, a crook whose
professional career extends as far back as
1852, covering an unbroken record of the
most daring and craftiest OF crimes, was
yesterday afternoon arrested by Detectives
Hanim and EcSstein Just as lie was entering
the elevator of the Continental Hotel.
The two detectives were just on their
way out when their gaze fell upon the well
known form OF the old time crook.
you know that man." said Hamm,
pointing, and Eckstem nodded. A nIoment
later the celebrated crook was i'll custody,
and the arrest for the tine being created
no little CONSERVATION in the lobby of tile
hotel.
Johnson in years gone by, was known
as one of the most daring criminals i'll
the business. Snpt. Byrnes, who made
study of some of the crooks jobs, mentioned
him especially in his book on Grimes" and
designates him as the cleverest thief on
record. Individually" said the great
police superintendent once in telling of
johnson, this man has stolen more money
than any other who has ever come to my
notice." As matter of fact, if Jobnsun's
stealings were counted they would aggre-
gate something like 100000.
In 1852 he began operations with a job
that landed him in Sing Sing for five years.
Nothing daunted, he followed this up after
he had done time with job on the New
England Bank, carrying away with him
sac 900. This amount was recovered
afterward, and Johnson was also caught,
and again sent up for five years. The big
crook then changed his seat of operations,
and came to this city, where he made n dar
ing attempt to steal pile of $50 bills
from the paying teller's window of a big
-nnk. He served three years for this a. nd
after doing his time went back to New
York. There he robbed August Bem ont of
S25.OO0.
His biggest job, and the one that is
spoken of as the most adroit ever perpe-
rated by a crook, is one that the aulhori
ucs could never fasten upon him. John
son, ii is said, watched the Marine National
Bank of New York and studied the habits,
dress, and hours OF one of the clerks.
Copying him closely, he walked into the
bank one day earlier than the clerks
a pen behind his ear, and walked over to
the safe as naturally as life. Noone needed
him. believing all the while it was the other
clerk. That was big haul, and johnson
got out before the other clerk appeared.
With Henry Newman. 1.-THE Dutch Hen
iric," he robbed the Central National
Bark of New York Of s125.OOO, and was
never convicted of this orfense.
In the T0's he was caught stealing val
uable packages at the Fifth Avenue Ho-
tel, New York, and sentenced to ten years.
From that on Johnson degraded and de-
scended to the level OF common pick
pocket.
!olinson's last job was the attempt on
the German National Bank OF Newark,
for which he was sent up, in August. 1894,
for a year He had lust been released.

TWO TILLMANS OPINIONS
Both Members of South Cardinals
Convention, But They Disagree.
Ex-CongressmanTi TiIlman Has a scheme
BY Which Two-thirds of the Ne
= grOes May BE Disfranchised.

Columbia, 8. c., Oct 5.-Neorly all the
delegates have gone to their homes, there
being hut few remaining in the city tonight.
Senator Tillman, when asked ut the depot
for a statement Of his views as to the work
OF the convention thus far and as to the
future, eaid:
'The body has evinced a determination
to closely examine and scrutinize and
thoroughly aDalyze every measure pre-
sented, and to do nothing hastily, and
therefore l am satisfied that the constitu-
tfon II will make will be q durable iastru-
ment."
'.The convention has risen above fac
tiOnal feeling altogether. The one pre-
dominant idea seems to be the future well
fare OF the people Of the State. and whatever
the convention does viii be well done.
Il could not pretend to go into detail.
can only give 1t as my opinion that in the
future We viii have better common schools
and absolute purity and fairness in cleo
tons"
Ex-Congressnan George ID. Tillman said
that the convention reminded him more ofa
debating society Of overgrown school boys
than anything else, talking all the time and
undoing to- morrow what they do to-day. He
did not care to talk about it much.
He said that as far as that proviso sa ying
any hcEIo DiOOu WIS cOuCeIHeu, III WOulQ
be an absolute necessity to change that
and make 1t ''one- eighth part negro blood
or havoc would be played with property in
South Carolina. He says he will bring this
matter up on the third reading.
Speaking OF woman's suffrage. he said,
with wise shake of his head, that there
were many more advocates of woman's
suffrage on the floor of the convention than
any one dreamed OF, and the adoption OF a
wonian's suffrage plank, placed on a prop
disqualification. was notsucha n impossible
thing as 1t is generally conceded to be.
AS to the article of the suffrage com-
mittee, he eaid that the plan could not
honestly accomplish the desired result.
1t was far from getting at the disfranchse-
men: or the negroes by honest and fair
means.
A plan that has occurred to him to do
away with two-thirds of the negro vote
without refusing the ballot box TO any
negro complying with the honest require
ment, is to take advantage OF the migratory
habits OF the negro. By having tow nship
managers and boards and requiring voter
TO live in the same tow nship for two years
to be eligible, tw o-thirds OF the negroes
would he Gisfrapcbised honestly, and no
W bite man would be hurt, for the white
people are chained TO the land.

Pittsburg, Pa, Oct. 5.-Startliig dis
closures are coming to light through the
investigation into the affairs of the city
tttorney's office. W. II. House, of that
office, has been named as the man who
mas obtained interest on deposits of city
money made by him in the name of City
Attorney W. c. Moreiand.
Robert Wardrop, cashier of the Trades
mems National Baak, admitted as much to-
day to the sub-finauce committee and Con-
troller H. 1. Gourley. The sub-cOniInit-
tee visited the banks where Major More
lands accounts have been kept. These
were the First National, Allegheny Ma
.ional, Tradesnleu's National and the
Freehold. The committee consisted OF
Mr.. Bighan. Mr.. Warmcastle, and Con-
iroller Gourley. The officials OF the
First National and of the Allegheny Ma
tional declined 10 give any Information
without authority from Mr.. Moreiand.
Those of the two other banks, however,
gave all the information in their power.
Mr.. Wardrop, of the Tradesmen' s National
Bank, said: when I returned to this bank
four years ago found on the books an ac-
count with w. C. Moreland aggregating
100000. wasinformed that interest was
payable on this account. THE interest was
paid quarterly to Mr.. House, Of the city at
tOrney's office. Some time after that the
pccount was reduced to $40, 900, and. at a
comparatively recent date, the $40 900 was
withdrawn"
