STEWART EXTRADITED.
Gained Confidence Through
Evangelist B. Fay
Mills.

Pittsburg, Pa, Nov 21.-Charles E.
Stewart, the aged prisoner who is &C
cused Of swindling at Woonsocket, was
taken back to Rhode Island tonight in
charge of three detectives. The officers
were afraid of habeas corpus proceed
ings, bat no fight was made against
extradition. The parting interview be-
tween Stewart and his wife was most
pathetic. She is left penniless, in a
strange city and without friends. The
thought that he was responsible for
this deplorable state of affairs, more
than anything else, induced Stewart to
make an admission which is considered
a virtual admission that he was impli-
Gated with the gang of swindlers ar
rested in New York
The prisoner called for a lawyer and
told him that half of the $1,000 deposit
ted by Bennett, alias Knox, in the
Trademarks bank, this city, belonged
to him. He gave the counsel power of
attorney, and instructed him to secure
this money for Mrs Stewart.
Mr.. Gallup of Woonsocket tells the
story which explains how Stewart was
enabled to swindle people in Woonsock-
ct. He says Stewart assumed the re-
ligious role and at one of the Evangelist
B. Fay Mills meetings in New York,
renowned all former associates and be-
came an enthusiastic convert. He was
such an affable talker that Mr.. Nils
was captivated. The evangelist placed
Stewart in charge of a large amount of
real estate in Woonsoket, and had him
conduct several extensive deals. Stew
art played fair with his benefactor, and
made such a good record that he was
not suspected when the time came for
him to defraud.
