suppose. Few men know the depths
that are in them, that may be
brought out by circumstances, and
once the sleeping demon springs
into life he cannot be controlled.
There's many a convict who has the

George Holyobe Chat was not the
name, but it is near enough, and it
gave us so much trouble and caused
so much newspaper criticism and
denunciatiOn of the detective bureau
while it lasted that the temptation
to reveal the facts was strong. They
did not come out at the time, how
ever, and a death-bed promise is a
binding one on any man who gives
it; but as these lines will give no
clue to the mans identity or family
there is no reason why they should
not be told now.
Holvoke came to New-York from
the South after the Civil War and
built up a fine commission business
on the Cotton Exchange. He soon
was recognized as the best authority
on the course of the market in the
city. A group of his customers who
had realized large profits by acting
on his advice gave him a dinner at
Delmonico's, then situated at Broad
way and Chambers-st. 1t became a
Jolly occasion, and the guest was in
remarkably buoyant spirits. He was
credited with telling the best story,
singing the best song and in other
ways proving himself the star of the
occasion. The entertainment con-
tinued until two o'clock, when Hol-
yoke, deciding not to go to his apart
mont up town. set out to walk four
blocks to the Aston House.
He started alone for the big
gray-stone hotel; but he never
reached it. The only clue obtained
of him was from a patrolman on
