Original Plan of a Boston Swindler for
Raising the Wind"

Original Plan of a Boston Swindler for
Raising the Wind"
Boston, Oct. 21.-Harry Fleming of
Salem. alias Gardner. the black sheep
OF respectable family, is under arrest
on the charge of passing a forged check
for Sl5. To the police he has been known
as a petty swindler for a number OF
years, and has caused them more bother
than a big mob Of professional safe
burglars would.
Up to the time of entering into the
worthless check business Fleming had
an original scheme for making money.
which, the police say. he alone worked.
1t was a scheme " cultivating the ac-
quaintance OF young women, inviting
them TO theaters, calling on them In
their own homes making himself agree
able and breaking off the courtship only
after succeeding in getting possession
of a valuable watch or ring. Sometimes
the watch would be lifted" and some
times 1t would be borrowed. Many
girls feel nattered 10 have their beaux
wear their watch, pins or ring. The
swindler knew their weakness and took
advantage of it. More than one girl
made his acquaintance to her sorrow.
But il was in Chelsea that Flei-.ing
woke up society girls and set their
tongues in motion. 1t was there that he
courted the only daughter of business
man and won her heart Fleming
claimed to be the son OF President Bliss
OF the Boston 4 Albany railroad com
pai V. a. by general exhibition of APP
parent wealth he obtained the consent
OF u business man TO marriage with
his daughter. The day for the wedding
came. The guests arrived. and II was
time for the ceremony To proceed.
Fleming was called one side by the
father for an interview. IL having been
noticed that President Bliss was not
there Fleming made all sorts OF ex-
cuses for not telling his brides parents
that his father was not coming, but
Said IL had slipped his memory. He
smoothed 1t all over by saying that the
old gent" was sick After the wedding
he went home TO his wife's parents to
board His borrowing propensity grew
So fast. however. that the father-in-law
instituted an Investigation which ended
with Fleming being Kicked out and
threatened with bullet in case he ever
entered the hoyss again.

Evidence Was Found Among His Effects That
He Had Piled His Criminal Trade in
Catholic Churches In This City.

Hudson, Mass. Oct. 21.-The arrest and
conviction Of a man giving the name Of
Casper +. Elwick. on a charge OF theft,
lead the police TO believe that they have
been instrumental in sending a profes-
sional church thief to the house OF cor
rection for a couple OF months. Elwick
is accused of robbing women while they
were at their devotions in Catholic
churches, his method being to pick up
purses temporarily laid down while the
owner was in prayerful attitude. He
did this on Monday and Tuesday at st.
Michaers church in this town, and its
detection led to the arrest. In one purse
were s. and in the other 81, while in his
pocket were $50 in change.
After his arrest Elwick told the officers
where he had left some baggage under
another name, and on securing ii the
police found a directory of the Catholic
churches OF the country. many Of the
churches being checked off, these latter
covering cities and towns in the western,
middle and eastern states. A clipping
from St Louis paper described a church
thief which answered Elwick's appear

era House last evening, is not new to
Providence theatre goers, but it is one
of those productions that can be wit
messed with pleasure more than once.
The story, as prepared by Mr.. August
Pitou, is tender in it's interest, full of
pretty incidents. replete with quaint
Irish customs, and has a full share of
clean comedy.
Mr.. Olcott, who reminds one at times
of Boucicault and again OF Emmett in
his personality, received a very flatter-
ing reception and he seemed to join
all that was best i'm that personality.
with "A keen sense of Irish humor, in
the portrayal of Gerard O'Carroll. His
talents are varied and of a high order,
and il is doubtless if any other come
dian of the day possesses as many at
tributes that serve to win the hearts
of the people. In addition to a naturally
graceful bearing and pleasing presence
he has unmstakable dramatic power.
But with all these in his favor IL is
undoubtedly from sweet singing that
Mr.. Olcott obtains his strongest hold
upon his audience for he possesses a
voice which is distinguished by a re-
markable sweetness, and which seems
10 be perfectly adapted for that pecu-
liarly pathetic quality which character
ICES the Irish ballad music. Mr.. Olcott's
vocal work last evening made him a
still greater favorite than he has been
in the past.
Mr.. Olcott is the composer and writer
Of his own songs. and this. of course.
adds greatly to the charming manner
I'm which he interprets them. His rem
dering OF Sweet Inniscarra,' Kate
O'Donoghue." "The Flv Song" "The
Old Fashioned Mother" and Loves s
Sorrow Lost" was delightful. II is not
only as a vocalist. however. that Mr..
Olcott is to he commenced. for as Ger
aid O'Carroll. the hero OF the pretty
story. he displays powers as n comedian
which denote careful study and a most
intelligent conception OF the character.
The company associated with Mr. Oh
cott is a meritorious one and some OF
the members do exceptionally strong
work. The Pat Quinn Of Mr.. Luke Mar
tin was more than pleasing and was an
excellent portrayal of the droll and
witty''lrishman of the peasant class.
Miss Louise Marcelli as Kate O'Dono-
phue won the hearts of the large au-
dience. and Imogene Washburne and
Mabel Tnlliferro as the twins were de-
lightful. The other members of tho cast
were good.
