WELL MEN.
She Died PcnniIess-All her Prop
crty Went Toward Securing
Their Freedom.
SHE BELIEVED IN INNOCENCE

Muskegon, Mi-h., Dec. ia life
of sisterly devotion that has few
equals in history was brought to a
close by the death yesterday. at the
age of rs years, of Mrs Harriet Mott
sister OF the notorious Bidwell
brothers, who made themselves the
most famous forgers OF the nine
teenth century by the $1,000. 900
swindle of the Bank of England.
Mrs. Mott, who outlived her
brothers, died practically penniless,
although she owned one OF the finest
farms in Muskegon county and valu-
able property in New York state.
All of her property went toward pro
noting the cause of her brothers
freedom.
when Austin and George Bidwell
committed their famous swindle In
1878 Mrs. Mott vigorously entered
into the fight to win the liberty OF
her kin and carried her cause into
the white house and before the no
bility OF England. She went every
where raising funds and made nine
trips across the Atlantic. She re.
fused to look upon her brothers as
great criminals and considered that
their sentences TO life Imprisonment
were miscarriages of justice.
When she at length triumphed
and saw the last of her brothers, Aus
tin Bidwell, leave old Newgate In
1898. the devoted sister returned to
Muskegon and set about raising mon
ey to pay on the debts Of her cam
paign.
The brothers died in the west
while on a lecturing tour. but she
kept on. A book written by Austin
Bidwell on his experience was her
chief asset. She boosted that she
paid back every penny borrowed In
her long fight
