AGENT HEALY sWINDLED
A New York Promoter Gets in Some Fine
Work and is Now in the Tolls.

With the loss Of $2250 to add interest
to his action, James F. Healy the well
known local ticket agent, goes to-New
York this morning to appear as a wit
ness at the trial Of George f. Millen,
the now famous promoter whose man
ipulation of funds entrusted to him, has
led to his arrest in New York.
Millen's case will be tried in Magis-
trate Wentworth's court on Center
street, and the prosecution will be con-
Quoted by District Attorney A. B. c.
Gardner appearing in the interests Of
the state. The claim of the prosecution
win be that Millen is guilty of grand
larceny, and no stone will be left IN
turned to convince the court Of his
guilt. If a decision is rendered in favor
Of the prosecution it viii go hard with
the defendant, for in New York state
the law permits of imprisonment for
grand larceny, for terms Of many
years.
The other witnesses against Millen
will be #. Lingane Of the Providence
Telegram and William H. Church of
New York. Mr. Healy's testimony will
cover his meeting with Millen last
which the payment of S2250 was made.
To q Spy reporter, yesterday, Mr.. HealY
explained the circumstances leading up
to Millen's arrest.
II met him in New York" said he;
"all business was done there. l was
introduced to him by Mr.. Lingane and
then made the payment of $2250 Mr.
Lingane paid $500 and Mr.. Church
$3.50 Millen was to raise the balance,
but Mr.. Lingane claims to have posi-
tive evidence that he never attempted
to do so and now we are looking for
satisfaction"
Millen himself is not thought to
have much that could be utilized in
the way of satisfying the claims Of the
three men interested in the charge
against him, but he has friends and
relatives who, rather than see him
go to state prison for a long term of
years, would hustle around and try to
adjust matters in a satisfactory man
ner. Millen was hired by William H
Church to assist in raising the $40, 900
necessary to complete the purchase be-
fore February, 1898 of the New Or
leans Of the Cromwell line to be used
in Klondike traffic. Mr.. Church had
secured an option on the steamer by
the payment of $4,000. Messrs. Lin
game and Healy gave the respective
sums for which they are now seeking
to recover, and Mr.. Church also paid
the promoter S2750, with the distinct
understanding that the balance would
be made up from other sources.
From the statement made by Millen
at the time of his arraignment, it is
thought that his line Of defense will
be that the handling of the negotiation
was transferred to the Marine Convey
ance Company of Warren, R. l. He
showed the receipt of this company for
the amount conveyed, but Mr. Lingane
claims that Millen was the president of
the Conveyance company at the time
the alleged transfer was made and
that the company was insolvent at the
time

w as the Story
Told
OF YOUNG WESSON.
Had Every Chance in Life
But is Now a State Pauper.

Stuart Wesson, or Andrew Carroll
as he was known previous to his adop-
ton by J. Edwin Wesson, president and
treasurer of the J. E. Wesson Shoe
Company. was sentenced to the state
farm for an indefinite period at the reg
ular session of the central district
court yesterday morning.
The prospect of a young man bafely
past his majority, sentenced TO a pc
nal institution, is bad enough under any
circumstances, but when a youth who
has had every advantage possible, SV-
erything in life to live for deliberate
Nv casts all aside, debases hlmse1 10
the gutter and wrings the hearts Oh
those who have done all they cOulo Tor
him the picture is indeed a sad one.
stuart Wesson, as he has been known
for many years. has no legal right to
fine name he has borne. as the legal
form attending adoption was never car
ried out. His name is Andrew Car
roll. and it was under this name that
he was arrested and sentenced, lie
was the child of parents in moderate
circumstances, and when quite young
was adopted by Mr.. Wesson.
Instead of Andrew Carroll, the name
under which he was christened, he was
.riven the name by which he has been
known since that time. If the boy
had been of their own flesh and blood,
Mr.. and Mrs. Wesson could have done
no more to make his life happy one
and to guide him to the eventual at
tainment of the place for which he was
designed.
during childhood and youth, he was the
auvy of his mates. Following his ear
~ education, the young man fitted him
self for college, and passing the re-
Onired examination, entered Harvard
His stay at this institution was
short however, as his habits developed
when a mere boy, resulted in his dis
missal from the college.
He also attended Worcester academy
where he earned a place in athletic cir
cles from his sprinting ability. After
ward arrangements were made for him

exnelled for the same reasons as al

on, N. H, celebrated her SOth birthday
yesterday at the home Of her daughter
in-law Mrs. A. Maria Tilden, 223
Chandler street. Mrs. Tilden is spend
ing the holidays in Worcester, and al
though the summers and winters of
four score years have whitened her
hair and left their stamp upon her
features, she is still one Of the young
old women that one delights to meet.
She says that while perhaps she is
not as spry as in the days gone by, she
feels as young at neart as ever. Mrs.
Illden travels alone, and a few weeks
ago came from her home in Lebanon
N. H., to Boston, and after visiting in
that city to Worcester. She enjoys
visiting the stores at this season of the
year, and goes down town shopping
with as little inconvenience as a woman
half her age.
Mrs. Tilden is also D great admirer of
Worcesteri and says there is no city
like the Heart of the Commonwealth.
The family planned for a little celebra-
ton in honor of her anniversary, and
yesterday afternoon and evening an in
formal reception was held in her honor
Miss Anna Tilden, q granddaughter,
anu MI ,. w. II. 1uuCn, WIG OIL neT
grandson, received the guests.
Mrs. ITlden was born in Antrim, N.
H., Dec. Is, 1878 When she was fifteen
| years old her folks moved to Boston.

| ~ excitement and remembers seeing
| Burns, the fugitive slave, dragged back
from Faneuil hall into slavery She
| and her husband, who was a native of
| Marshfield, once visited Daniel Web
| ster at his home. The aged woman re-
members him as a very nice man."
| She heard John B. Cough give his first
! temperance lecture, and treasures it
| as one of her most precious remem-
| brances.
| Her husband died eleven years after
their marriage, leaving her with four
| small children, two of them, Rev. Ma
| than f. Tilden of Lebanon, N H., and
Walter H. Tilden of this city are now

one more attempt in the young mans
behalf, and he was sent to a SANTA
RUM He remained in the institution
for a time, but without benefit. The
officers of the institution finally wrote
his father, saying they could do moth
ing with him. Mr.. Wesson then sent
him some money, with instructions to
the officers to release him from the in
stitution.
Shortly afterward he appeared in
Worcester and took up his old haunts
in the billiard rooms. Of late he has
contracted the morphine habit and be-
came an expert in the use of the in
jector. For some time past he has
been practically without a home, and
but for the kindness of friends and ac-
quaintances would have been obliged
to walk the streets many nights.
Through all, even when he was I'M
able to purchase the necessaries of life,
he managed to secure a supply of the
drug that had such a fascination for
him, and when arrested a hypodermic
syringe, two glass tubes containing
tablets of sulphate of morphia and a
bottle of liquid thought to contain
cocaine We're found in his pockets.
Monday night the young man went
to the home of his foster parents, on
Linden street, and created consider
able disturbance, as a result of which
! ne was subsequently aTT6SleQ IN Jne
Office of the Hotel Pelham. Yesterday
morning, when he was arraigned, on
the charge Of vagrancy, Col Samuel
e. Winslow appeared against him, in
| behalf Of his foster parents, who could
not bear to come into court and testify
against the young man.
| Col. Winslow outlined the young
mans life briefly and stated that he is
without visible means of support.
| Judge Utley then ordered the the ac-
cused be sentenced to the state farm
! The prisoner took the sentence calm

with unfaltering step.\ He spoke pleas
antly to an acquaintance who was
standing in the guard room, and ac-
companied officer Blake to the Union
station, en- route for Bridgewater,
without a word of protest or comment.
| The boy, for he is little more, looks
| a physical wreck, and some of his
! friends predict that he will not live
more than a few months at longest.
Others contend that the life of the in
stitution will be the best thing for

for years, and with perhaps a higher
idea of manhood than he has held here
tofore.
The case against Charles Hustler,

girl, was continued until this morn

Mary Lamb, charged with larceny,
was probated.
