a firm of American lawyers in France
to lawyers in this country. One OF the
letters gives brief resume of her case.
From this IL appears that her father,
James Stewart, was a brother of A. T..
Stewart, and was married in 1843 to
Eliza Wharton, the daughter of the
Paris buyer of the house OF Stewart.
Wharton and A. T. Stewart married
sisters, so that her mother was a niece
of Mrs. Stewart. The marriage Of her
parents. she says. took place in New
York, and they then removed to Paris,
where she was born in 1874. In sup

of a certificate of her birth in the
French capital, which gives her parents
as Americans.

at any other conclusion than that the
opinion of the jury was warranted by
the weight of the evidence. District
Attorney Graham then read the rec
ords of the case and moved the court
to pass sentence upon the verdict of
the jury.
The prisoner was ordered TO stand
up. He arose to his feet unfiinchingly,
and grasped the iron railing of the dock
with firm hands.
After due consideration" began the
judge, "the conclusion has been reach
ed that the verdict must be sustained.
We can only say to you that you should

teen years ago about 1000, 900 deep sea
fish were found floating dead on the

A recent dispatch announced the ar

States Marshal Pearman, of an alleged
swindler. who had eluded the agents
of the treasury department for three
years. The chief operator, who is
known as ]. X. Bell, alias James F.
Swartz. is in jail at Springfield Along
with him are NJ. A. Maginnis and
Thomas Robbins, heretofore respected
citizens OF Neosho who are said to have
become his dupes. Bell claimed to be
a secret agent of President Cleve-
lands administration, and carried an
alleged commission bearing the forged
signature of w. Q. Gresham, secretary
of state, dated August 10, 1894
The pretended mission of the alleged
swinder was to distribute campaign
funds for the national administration.
and he claimed to be able to give out
to favored ones greenbacks that had
been presented to the government for
redemption and cancelled. He claimed
that instead of destroying these bills
the administration stored them in the
treasury vaults, to be distributed by
him for campaign purposes. From each
of his dupes the swindler exacted an
initiation fee of $3.50, and represented
to them that the number of citizens adj
mitted to the brotherhood" was so
regulated that each member would be
given $4,000 annually to distribute.
Notwithstanding the scheme was
clearly fraudulent, the authorities have
