YOUNG ENGLISHMAN'S NOVEL
SWINDLING SCHEME.
Used Dead Men First and Their
Widows Afterwards-Has Been
Successful in Iowa.

New York, Feb. 1.-The postoffice
authorities believe that in the man
who calls himself DR.. George T. Sher-
wood, who IS locked up pending ex-
animation in the Hudson county Jail
in Jersey City, they have mail
swindler whom they have been pur-
suing for years under many aliases,
and who, very likely, has made for
tune by his operations. DR.. Sherwood
was arrested in the postoffice in Pas
sale, n. j., on Sunday as he was re-
moving his bulky mail from his private
letter box. His scheme consisted in
following death notices in newspapers
in remote parts of the country and at
once addressing letters to men who
had just died, saying he had attended
a friend of theirs whose illness had
terminated fatally, and that this
friend had left them a small legacy
in the form OF an insurance on his
life, generally amounting to a few
hundred dollars, which he had asked
him as his physician to turn over to
the person addressed. The letter closed
by asking directions for forwarding
the money.
A letter, generally signed by the
widow, would come by return mail as
a usual thing, informing DR.. Sherwood
that the person to whom he had writ
ten was dead. Then the next step
would be to write to the widow, or
whoever had replied to his first letter,
saying that the money would go TO
the widow or next of kin of the bene-
ficiary. He explained, however, that
the policy was in mutual benefit as
sociation and the premiums were a
little behind-perhaps -Sl2 or S15. DR..
Sherwood would inform the widow that
he had enough influence to save the
policy, if the amount of the premiums
were Forthcoming at once. If the
money was sent, and the postofFice Of
ficials say that many complaints re-
ceiyed showed that it often was, that
was the end of the transaction.
When Sherwood was caught he had
in his possession, it is said, about 100
letters he had just taken from his
mail box. All of them We're from Iowa
and more than 80 from the city of Des
Moines. They have not been opened.
Commissioner Rowe thinks from his
manner and conversation that Sher-
wood is a young Englishman of good
family who has undertaken to live by
his wits. He declined to answer any
questions about himself or to discuss
his arrest in any way. and was COM
mitted in default of $1,000 bail until
Thursday morning, by which time the
papers in the case will have arrived
from. WASHINGTON.

relief. The bill recites that General
Grant stipulated that the confederates
would be allowed to retain certain of
their supplies. Notwithstanding this,
the bill states that the United States
despoiled the confederates of about
everything they had. In order to make
good the losses then sustained the
measure directs the appropriation of
the amount named to be disbursed TO
the several claimants when they have
given proper proof to the quarter

The chances of the passage of the
