AS far as can be gathered Capt. Kidd
was a stocky, determined man OF few
words. As ! have reconstructed him in
Imagination he was much the same sort
of man physically and In some other ways
as Richard Croker.
He was not a murderous or bloodthirsty
man. His life in New York and on the seas
had been that Of a man entitled q the esteem
Of the community. He did kill one Of the
gunners of the Adventure galley, but II
was not murder a. we class crimes now
The evidence IL that the gunner was one
Of the crew who argued most ardently for
turning the Adventure galley into a pirate
ship and in an argument kidd hit him on
the dead with an iron-bound bucket. crush
ing his skull.
1T is undoubtedly correct that Kidd
lived at Pearl and Hanover streets. The
old records Of the Title Guarantee and
Trust Company show that he owned that
property and there is historical evidence
that Mrs. Kidd picked out that house OF
the several that they owned as her resi-
dence.r
The land around Kidd's house is thick
with historical incidents. Where the ele-

at Pearl and Hanover streets.
Mrs. Kidd must have been Of enga ging
manner, for within two years after Capt
Kidd was hanged in London she took
fourth husband. He was Christopher
Rousby.
As the legal opinion Of the time held
that Kidd's title to his property had been
tainted by his piracy Mrs. Kidd took a
roundabout way to get it and hold II. In
i70a she conveyed it TO Viscount Corn
bury, then Governor of New York, and
received from him a deed in the name
of Queen Anne confirming her in the pos
session Of the properties.
But the property in Pearl street near

Livingston by Kidd as security when Liv-

The uncertainty about the matter is due
to the fact that several pieces of Manhattan
real estate stood in the name of William
Kidd at that period after he had married
one of the wealthiest widows Of the prov

York show beyond question. apparently.
that Kidd's residence, where he dwelt with
his wife and daughter, was at Pearl and
Hanover streets.
II was one Of the finest mansions of early
New York. and an inventory made at the
