 Fisk prided himself on his keen in sight into human nature.
 Stokes is nice fellow, he would say, a capital fellow, but would not trust him further than that.
 The that was snap of the fin gers.
 The friendship between the men grew until, suddenly. the ties that bound them were snapped by wo- man hand.
 Josie Mansfield courtesan. young and beautiful, drifted to the metropolis from an interior city and with one glance of her eyes won Jim Fisk. He installed her in a hand some residence on West Twenty third street, and there she held re- captions that dazzed that psrt of the city.
 Ed Stokes was 8 guest at one of these receptions and the hostess looked upon him with extraordi- nary favor. Someone told Fisk of the progress Stokes had made in Josie Mansfeld's affections, and in stantly the ties that bound the friends were broken.
 Fisk deserted the woman and started in to ruin Stokes in Wall street. He was doing it rapidly and remorselessly, when-January 1, 1872 meeting him on the grand stairway of the Grand Cedtral Ho- tel-now the Broadway Central Stokes shot and killad his former friend and patron.
 The trial and conviction of Stokes followed quickly and he was found guilty of murder in the first degree. When he heard the verdict Stokes sprang to his feet and cried that Jay Gould had purchased his con viction.
 A new trial was demanded, and after one of the most bitter legal battles in the history of criminal jurisprudence, Stokes was sent to prison for four years on a verdict of marslaughter.
 In 1876 he was pardoned and eight years later Governor Cleveland re stored him to all the rights of clti- zenship.
 After his release Stokes engaged with John W Mackey and others in the up building of the Postal Tele- graph Company and also of the Commercial Cable enterprise. He made fortune in this field and is a wealthy man. He has had many legal controversies over Hoffman 1 House, but has confounded all his enemies and after hard and bitter fight is or top, though sorely stricked in body and likely to sue eunlb from . complication of dis eases.

Word was received here last week
to the effect that W. C. Hecker, who
resides on his claim near Byron, OF,
had had narrow escape from death
by being poisoned. From the partic.
ulars it seems that during Mr..
Hecker's temporary absence some
evil disposed person visited his DOM
icile and put Paris green in his vict.
uals and coffee and also in his drink
ing water. Mr.. Hecker returned
home late that night and retired.
The following morning he arose and
ate a hearty breakfast. Ia a short
time he became deathly sick and be-
gan vomiting. Fortunately he had
taken an overdose of the poison and
UhreW IL up, together with all he had
eaten, thus saving him from a hOr-
rl0le death. Suspicion rested upon a
mail carrier who was seen to 90 to Mr..
Hecker's house during his absence
and remain there for some time. He
was placed under arrest and as a re-
suit of his preliminary examination
was bound over to court. If guilty of
the crime charged, he should be made
to suffer the severest penalty In such
cases. What object the fellow could
have had In poisoning Mr.. Hecker is
not known. The latter is a quiet,
peaceful citizen, always attending
strictly to his own business, and if he
has any enemies he does not know
it.-Milan Press.
