INVENTOR OF "GOLD
BRICK" SWINDLE DIES
Thomas O'Brien's Astonishing Career
Terminates at Cayenne

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-Thomas
O'Brien, the nortorious confidence man
and alleged inventor of the gold
brick swindle, is reported dead in the
French penal settlement at Cayenne,
where he had been serving a life SEN
tence for the, murder of his partner,
kid" Waddell, in Paris in 1895. Sew
eral years ago it was reported that
OBrien had escaped from the penal
settlement and was on his way to New
York. The report never was confirmed,
however, and the authorities never got
sight of O'Brien.
O'Brien was born fifty-three years
ago in Chicago and, aided by an at
tractive personality made remarka-
BE record. Many bold swindles, run
ming into the thousands, were credited
to his genius. In 1889 he jumped
bond of $4,000 and fed to Europe. was
reeaptured and sentenced to ten years
in prison. A remarkable plot, con-
Quoted by woman, resulted in his
escape from a hotel In Utica where he
was in charge of a prison keeper.
O'Brien caught steamer here for
Europe, reached Paris in safety and
remained there until he was arrested
on the charge of killing Waddell, his
partner. Money was spent lavishly in
his defense, but failed to save him
from a life sentence.

TEACHERS IN TOWN
Vanguard Arrives to Attend
State Convention

The vanguard of the 1000 teachers and
other educational men and women who
are expected to attend the forty-second
annual convention of the Minnesota Edu-
cational association has reached ST. Paul.
A score or more of teachers were reg
istered last night at the Windsor hotel,
and the main body of the educational
people is expected to reach st. Paul to-
day and tonight.
While the convention proper will not
open until Wednesday morning, the State
Art society will stand sponsor for pre-
liminary meeting to be held tonight at
the Central Presbyterian church, Cedar
and Exchange streets. Prof ]. Q. Adams.
Of Philadelphia, noted lecturer on art
and its kindred topics. will deliver an adj
dress On art and the Days Work. y
Prof. Adams has lectured in a number of
Minnesota cities, and at Winona last
winter gave the same lecture that he viii
give in st. Paul. Music for the evening
will be under the direction of Miss Elsie
NJ. Shave, of st. Paul.
There is little gossip of the politics of
the annual meeting of the educational
association. The new officers will be prac-
tically decided upon by nominating
committee to be appointed by President
George A. Franklin, of Fafibault. In
asmuch as for some years the presidents
have been city school superintendents, it
will not be. surprising if a county super
intendent is chosen president to succeed
Mr. Franklin.

DEATH IN CAR MAY AID
A CHINAMAN'S CASE

CHICAGO, Dec. 26-Because it could

man. was alive when the refrigerating
car in which he was concealed passed
over the line between Canada and the

tempting to import fellow countryman
into the United States in violation of the

ally locked and Loeng Dicks body was

.PLUCKED IN PARIS

PARIS, Dec 26.-Boston visitors to
Paris seem, for whatever reason, to be
more easily duped than those from any,
where else. A few days ago James Hud-
son from the Hub bought French edi
ton Of "the gold brick from man who
met him on the boulevard with the state
ment that he had once known him in the
states. The manager of the Hotel Bed
ford, which is much affected by Boston
ians, reports that another man from Bos-
ton, named F. R.. Hill, came home pen
niless the other night with the statement
that the familiar "cigar trick had been
worked on him, and that he would have
to borrow enough to cable home for more
money.
But the worst story is that of E. D.
Woodhouse, registered at the Grand hotel
as the European agent of well known
shoe concern on Congress street, Boston.
He was dining at restaurant a few
nights since when he noticed that by his
side sat reverend looking old priest,
who finally spoke to him and asked about
the condition of priests in the United
States. The two men strolled from the
restaurant together, the priest remarking
that he was on his way to Rome, where
he was taking a large sum in st, Peters
pence to the pope. Mr.. Woodhouse, glad
to find someone who could speak Eng
lish, offered to accompany him to the
railway station, where the priest bought
first-class ticket and took his seat in the
train On the pretext of going to buy a
souvenir for his American friend, the
old priest stepped out of the railway ear
riage again "Will you hold my pocket
book till L get back?'' he asked. .'It will
be safer here Woodhouse ma aturally con-
sented, and smilingly acceded to the
priests joking request that he in turn
should confide his pocketbook to the 9TH
er ssas a guarantee of good faith !" laugh
ed the priest.
unfortunately Mr. Woodhouse was kept
waiting two hours for both the souvenir
and his pocketbook, which contained no
less than $500 in French and American
bank notes. On looking finally into the
pocketbook left by the priest, hoping to
find some indication of his Identity, Mr..
Woodhouse was surprised to find that it
contained merely tightly rolled newspaper
wads. Then he saw that he had been
swindled, and went to the nearest police
station, only to be told that if he could
be imposed on by that old and moss
grown ruse of the Paris thief he deserv-
ed to lose his money. The priest, who
must at once have thrown off his disguise,
has not been found, and Mr.. Woodhouse
has left Paris a poorer but wiser man.
