1EE CONSPIRACY EXPOSED

now Eobert Ra Hamilton, the Wealthy Xew Yorker, Was Duped Into Marriage. Carious Sequel to the Atlantic City Tragedy Alleged Plot to Obtain the Kiches-of a Weak-Minded Toun Society Man. New York. Sept 3. Mr Swrnton and her son, Joshua A. Mann, who -were concerned in the Robert Ray Hamilton trouble at Atlantic City, N. J., are prisoners at police headquarters in this city, having been arrested by detectives acting under orders iroin Inspector Byrne. They are charged with conspiracy. At the request of Elihu Root, attorney for Robert Ray Hamilton, Inspector Byrnes List reek hunted up the history of the woman "who is now Mrs. Hamilton. The facts unearthed reveal tho details of a conspiracy, at the bottom of which is the woman who made the murderous assault upon her servant in tho cottage at Atlantic City, and whose object was to force money from Hamilton and to becoaio possessor of the family riches. The investigations of tho detectives have proven her to be a disreputable and tmecrupuloL: rharacter. The fact has baen established beyond doubt that the child which Mr. Hamilton evidently believed ho was the father of has not a drop of his blood in its body. Inspector Byrnes has conclusive evidence that the child "was bought from a midwife for the sum of $10 and palmed of! upon Hamilton as his own. The conspirators in the plot were Mrs. Hamilton and Mrs. Swinton. The latter has made a confession of the part she took in it. On last Thursday Elihu Root reqnested Inspector Byrnes to meet himself and 8.K. Clarke, his law partner, at the house of a relative of Mr. Hamilton up town. After a long talk, tho conclusion was reached that Robert Ray Hamilton was the victim of a black-mailing scheme. The woman he had married had claimed that her child vras born at Elmira on Dec. IT of last year. It wan learned at Elmira that Mrs. Hamilton had lived with Joshua Mann at that place, Pr. Burnett Morse, of Elmira, who, Mrs. Hamilton claimed, had attended her when the child was born, was interviewed by a detective sent from here by the Inspector. He said he remembered Mrs. Hamilton, but said she did not have a child while heattended her. When the result of the detective's Investigations were reported to the Inspector, he sent for Air. Hamilton and told liira what he had learned. Mr. Hamilton said that when he married the woman he thought that ho had merely .. righted a wrong. But if he found that he had been imposed upon he would let the i aw take its course. He was anxious to tave all the facts in the case ascertained, and was willing to have it proved that he had married the woman under false representations. If it were possible. Mrs. Swintjon and Joshua Mann camo to New York last Friday, but were not arrested until yesterday. 3Irs. Swinton, finding that tho game was up, made a confesssion to Inspector Byrnes, which, in substance, was as follows: About yor. 10, of lat year, Eva Hamilton told me she was poind to Elmira and would be back about Dec. 15. Iuring her absence sbe wanted me to make a set of baby clothes. I aaked her what she wanted with thera. 5he replied that she was erolne to adopt a child on Ray's account find brin J It up. Mrs. Hamilton did not come hack until Christmas morals?. Then she brought with her a female child, wrapped In a bl preen fthawl. The tame day I euraged board at No. 103 East Twenty -eighth street for Joshua, Eva and the child. They represented themselredas Mr. and Mrs Mann. Thy remained there one week and then removed to a flat in Fourteenth street, near Third avenue, where they also lived man and wife. There the child was taken tick and we sent for Dr. Kemp, who attended it. Tho child died after a . . few days. .Before It .-was buried ..Eva went to a midwife and trot another child, which fhe broueht to ihe houae. The first child was then buried, and a few days later the second rhild was taken sick. Eva said to pet a doctor. I told her it would not do to get Dr. Kemp again. Eo we sent for Dr. Gilbert The child was removed to my house, where It also died. In the death certificate the name of tho child was given ns Ethel Parsons, and the parents names as Walter and l.ydia Parsons. The death occurred on Jan. 14. The first child died on Jan. 4. The name given was Alice Mann; George and Alice Mann, parents. In both cases the cause of death was given as want of breast-milk. Before the second child was buried Eva went aad pot a third baby. This one was three days old and dark complexloned, and much unlike the others. Eva Bald she hated this one. It looked like a Dutch baby, and he couM never kiss it. JShe told me to take It hack to the midwife and tell her that she did not . want It. Beforo doing o we went out looking Tor another baby. We went to a midwife and Ixmjrtit a child for $10. When we got back home I took the other one away. Eva wanted to have a child in order to make Hamilton believe that he was the father of it. On such representations bhe begged him to marry her, and give the child a name. According to Inspector Byrnes, Mr. Hamilton believed the woman true to him, and also that he was the child's father and finally married her on Jan. 7, at Paterson, K. J. Mrs. Swinton told the Inspector that Eva had frequently represented that she was married to "her son Joshua, aud Bhe believes it herself to be a fact. It has been learned that last March Mrs. Hamilton give Mann a check for 2,000 on the Union Dime Savings Bank. He drew the money and deposited it in his own name. On April 15 he drew it out. Mrs. Hamilton heard of it and it angered her. Rhe went to the bank, made a statement that sho was the wife of Joshua Mann, and that he was demented and had run away. She wanted the bank to make good the money, but Mann had drawn it and the officials could not help her. Mrs. Swinton pays that Eva has frequently told her since her marriage to Hamilton how she imposed upon him, and said she had carried out the scheme in order to get the family Jewels and silverware left by Mr. Hamilton's mother in her will to Robert Ray's wife. When sho got possession of these she said she would make plenty of money. Inspector Byrnes has investigated all the statements made by Mrs. Swinton and finds them to be true. Dr. Gilbert, who attended the second child, told the Inspector that Mrs. Swinton and Mrs. Hamilton begged him to save its life, and stated that its life was worth $100,000 to the mother. . Joshua Mann says he met Mrs. Hamilton eight years ago in a house in Thirty-second etreet. They have been living as man and wife occasionally ever since. During the past year she has given him $3,000 to live on. .He admitted that ho knew of tho deception of which Hamilton was a victim. Mrs. Hamilton Evidently Frightened. Atlantic City. N. J., Sept S. The baby supposed to be tho offspring of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Ray Hamilton was taken to eee its alleged mother at the May's Landing jail to-day, and tho sheriff and those who accompanied the child were surprised at the small amount of attention Mrs. Hamilton pari to the infant. The woman was in a bad state of liervous prostration over the absence of her husband, and her chief anxiety appears to be lest Mr. Hamilton has lost interest in her case, and will desert her.

A Chicago Pastor Narrowly Escapes Bein- , Moiled at the Altar. Chicago, Sept. S. Tho trouble in the Polish Catholie congregation of the Holy Trinity Church, on Noble street, in this city, over the conduct of the temporal affairs of the parish has broken out afresh,and a serious conflict is apprehended. Two years after the edifice was erected the trustees deeded the property to the archbishop. Eight months ago, when the realty was reinsured, the trustees made the policies payable to themselves. The archdiocese did not like this, and trouble ensued. The congregation was divided into-two factions, and tho trustees finally refused to turn the collections and pew-rent over to tho pastor. The archbishop then issued to Father Kobrezynski a letter instructing him to take complete charge of both the spiritual and temporal affairs of the congregation. Sunday Father Kobrczynski ascended the p nlpit and announced the edict of the head of the archdiocease. Immediately after a murmur swept through the audience chamber. Some of the worshipers began to stamp the floor with their feet, others threw their ritnals over their head, while some got up and left the church. In the midst of all this the pastor began to say mass. When it became apparent that no solemn highmass was to bo celebrated, men, women and children liocked down the central aisle of the church in wild disorder. For a moment the pastor, undismayed by the taunts and threats of his flock, continued his holy office. When in the middle of mass, however, tho worshipers left their seats and scrambled pell mell over the sides of the inclosed pews. Father Kobrezynski, fearing mob violence, rushed from the altar ana out through the parsonage way. He was secreted for several hours by personal friends, who feared the excited people would use him roughly if they laid hands on him. .NOT A NOVICE IN CRIME. The Wisconsin ISandlt Said to Have Murdered a Companion Five Years Ago. Milwaukee, Sept. 3. Reimund Holzhey, the Northwestern tram-robber, is not a novice in the performance of villainous crimes. When the Milwaukeo & Northwestern train-robbery was first reported the officials of all the railroads in Wisconsin and Michigan were furnished with a description of the robber. Superintendent Donahue, of tho Milwaukee, Lake Shore & Western railway, says he knows him. Mr. Donahue remembered his name as "Halshauer," instead of Holzhey. About five years ago the Lake Shore purchased of the St. Paul & Eastern Grand Trunk company the road-hed of the line running to Oconto. The former company had not paid off its men for a good while, and, in purchasing the road, the Lake Shore assumed numerous sums due the men for grading. The man who is thought to have been liolzhey had been employed for a short time, and received the money at Oconto with the re6t. Among the laborers was one who had about $400 due him, and after the settlement, in company with Holzhey, he started to walk to Stiles. Shortly afterward the body .of the man who had received $400 was found in the woods under circumstances that pointed almost unmistakably to' his companion as his murderer and robber. Holzhey disappeared and went to Montana about the same time. Demanded as a United States Prisoner. : Bessemer, Mich., Sept. 3. Tho coroner held an inquest, yesterday, on the body of Mr. Fleschbein, of Belleville, I1L, who was killed by Holzhey, the stage-rebber. The jury found a verdict in accordance with the evidence, and recommended that Holzhey bo held to the next term of court. This will begin in October, but a complication has arisen since the inquest. United States Agent Pulsifer arrived here and claimed the prisoner on behalf of the United States. His demand was made on the supposition based on the prisoner's confession that Holzhey robbed the United States mail on the isconsin Central railroad. The authorities here will not listen to this claim. The prosecuting attorney claims he has a certain case against the murderer, and that he can send him down for life. On the other hand, it is said that the killing is manslaughter at the least, and the possible punishment is limited to fourteen years. lleld Up bj Highwaymen. TiiOT, N. Y., Sept 3. News has been received that last Friday, while Mrs. Ralph Brandnth and children were passing over the "Carry," en route from Raquett lake to their summer home in Hamilton county, the party encountered robbers, who went through their trunks, destroying what they did not want to use. Diamonds, jewelry and other articles, amounting to $2,000 in value, were stolen. The thieves escaped. DAILY WEATHER BULLETIN. Local Forecasts.

DEMOCRATIC BOOK-KPI'G. now the Treasury Statements Were Made to Show. a Big Surplus. Epeclal to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Sept. S. Treasurer Huston is considering a new form for presenting the money debt statement to the public He said to-day: "The object of tho change from the old form to the present one, adopted under the Cleveland administration, was to swell the apparent size of the surplus. It is not a fair statement to send out, for by the system of book-keeping there carried out there are a good many things put down as liabilities that should properly belong on the other side,' or; rather, could he very materially reduced. .. For example, there is an item inserted every. month as a liability of several millions of dollars, this being a part of one of the first issues of war notes. Now. it; is known as an absolute fact that millions of these dollars havo been destroyed, torn, burned, worn out, defaced, and in other ways made valueless, and it is positively certain that they will never be presented for redemption. Practically speaking, they have ceased to exist, and yet they are still carried on the statement as liabilities that may. cause a disbursement of funds at - any time. Then, too, there are fully seven millions of fractional currency : still classed as liabilities when it is also an absolute certainty that they will never have to be redeemed. Like the other notes, they have in largo quantities been destroyed or defaced beyond recognition, and the remainder aro in private collections as curiosities, and will undoubtedly remain there. I am confident that at least $15,000,000 now classed in the statement as liabilities might be erased altogether from the list. Yes. I am thinking very seriously of having the form changed," and the treasurer set to work signing checks of the hundred thousand 6izo. CAMTBELL'S REPUBLICAN SUCCESSOR. Views of Hon. H.

CampbeU, the Democratic candidate for Governor of Ohio, has registered at the Ebbitt. Eepresentative Morey, in speaking of the Ohio campaign to-day, said that Campbell would make an excellent run, but Foraker would be elected. 'Campbell," said he, "is a sagacious and methodical politician. He will resort to many tricks and do a good deal in an indirect way. He is the strongest man the Democrats could have nominated." Mr. Morey, changing the subject, said he does not believe there will be an extra session, and that Major McKiuley'g prospects for the speakership are brighter now than they were three months ago. T do not believe." said he, "that Major McKinley is opposed to an extra session on the grounds that it would operate against his candidancy.nor do his friends entertain any such idea." PRONOUNCES IT A FORGERY. General Ben Butler Brings a Serious Charge Against Contractor "Strong:. Washington, Sept. 8. Gen. B. F. Butler, who was counsel for Samuel Strong in the la tier's well-kpown suit against the District of Columbia for compensation for work done by direction of the old Board of Public Works, will to-morrow file in court an affidavit 6igned by himself and his m law partner, O. D. Barrett, accusing his former client of forgery. After the award made to Strong had been finally cut down from more than $200,000 to less than $30,000 suits were entered by General Butler and others to obtain liens upon the award. While Mr. Strong was under examination before an examiner in chancery in the Butler suit, he produced a paper, purporting to have been signed by General Butler, to the effect that; he (Butler) should not receive more than 110,000 unless the original award of $234,793 was sustained, in which event General Butler was to receive $46,549. General Butler declares that ho had never before seen or heard of the paper, and will ask the court for time to produce evidence to show tho falsity of the document. MISSI'0 RECORDS.
