FOR swINDLING WOMEN
Arthur Blair Moody, Swell Young Man,
IL Under Indictment

New York, Nov. 17-Arthur Blair
Moody. swell young man of New
Haven, Conn, is under arrest in this
city, charged with swindling three young
women, two OF them heiresses of New
York and one famous Australian ar
fist, temporarily in New York. Moody
is the son of a prominent New Haven
insurance man, and his mother is a
physician there.
Miss Rosamond II. Owen and Miss
Mary Van Buren, Vanderpool, both of
whom hold high positions in New York
society, are two of the victims. Upon
convincing them that he had met with
an exceptionally favorable opportunity
to secure for his friends some subscribed
mining stock that the subscriber could
and a negotiable bond for s1,175 from
Miss Owen, and a s., 900 United States
bond from Miss Vanderpool.
This occurred in March last, and when
the young ladies discovered their friend
had swindled them, the police were no
titled and Moody's indictment here fol-
lowed. He is out on hail in Connect
icut and Is fighting the movement for
eXtraditi0n.
Miss Ellis Rowen, the artist in water
colors from Australia, met Moody a,
the Buckingham hotel and ultimately
contributed $3.50 for investment in a
scheme unfclded by the young man.
Her money is gone, as well as thirty
pictures which she entrusted to Moody
for him TO raise money upon TO put into
the investment

Man in Georgia Says He Can Produce the
Assassin

Little Rock, Ark, Nov. 1.-THE men,
DRY of the most famous crime ever COM
mitted in Arkansas, the assassination
Of Honorable John NJ. Clayton, has been
revived by the receipt of a letter by
Governor Jones from Pitts, Ga, by a
person signing the name of Luther
Atkins. The writer of the letter recalls
the crime, inquiries about rewards and
states that ne can locate the murderer
and produce proof of guilt.
The murder of John NJ Clayton will
be remembered by politicians and public
men all over the United States. Clay
ton was a brother of Honorable Powell
Clayton, the present United States min
can candidate for congress in 1889 his
opponent being Honorable Clifton r.
Breckenridge. late ambassador to Rus
STA. The canvass was a spirited one
and the contest was bitter. Breckin-
ridge was declared elected and Clayton
filed a contest. While this contest was
in progress, Mr.. Clayton went to Plum
merville to look after his interests there.
While in his room one night just be-
fore preparing to retire, an assassin
crept up in the dark and fired load of
buckshot through the window of his
room, infiicting wounds from which he
died. The murder created a sensation
all over tine United States. Detectives
were employed and worked diligently on
the case, and many persons were sus-
pected of the crime, but the murderer
went UNPUBLISHED. The legislature once
offered a reward OF $1,000 for the con-
viction of the murderer and the reward
is probably vet in force
