A PAPER

FOR THE

PINKERTON'S NARRATIVE.

The murder of Annie Downey, alias Annie Martinet No, 111 Prince street New York, recently, has recalled to the minds of New Yorkers analagous that have occurred in that city. It is well known to most persons that hun dreds of individuals come to their death throughout the length and breadth of the United States annually by foul means, which.are never explained,

In order to discover facts concerning past and recent cases of crimes of this character, committed in New York, reporter of The Star called upon Mr Robert Pinkerton, of Pinkerton's Na tional Detective Agency, in Exchange place. Mr. Pinkerton said

I never like to talk about criminal cases which the New York police have •worked up- or may be engaged upon The greater portion of the work 1 am employed on consists of matters of importance to banks and other corporations. Still, I do a great deal of investi gation of this kind for places outside this city where no regular detective force is engaged. I also learn from time to time of cases which never come to the public ear through publication in the daily papers. As much that I do is confidential, it is necessarily important that I should display reticence. I consider that the numerous murders by abortionists swell up the number of undiscovered and unexplained crimes in New York to an extent rarely appreciated. Innocent little.infants are killed outright by wholesale,and too frequently alas their unhappy mothers sfeare the same fate. What a mysterious murder was that of Victoria Conners. It was only by chance that Dr. Orlando Brad ford was discovered to have been her murderer. If the btaten Island tragedy, in which Reinhardt played so terrible a part, bad not been discovered, the dead body of Vicky Conners would never have been taken from the grave and her murderer have fallen into the clutches of tho law. Yet I believe such cases occur by hundreds and of which the public never hear."

Do you call to miud any peculiar cases of unsolved murder The celebrated Burdell case in Bond street, which occured about twenty-five years ago, is the most striking. The trial of Mrs. Cunningham, his housekeeper, will be long remembered. Then there was the Nath-m case. Well, I do not like to sav anything about that affair. I won't" give any opinion, for it may bring me into conflict with the police upon occasions when we are mutually working up a case together. The Rogers case, however, one of the most curious. The murderer of the poor old man never came to tho hangman's rope. Rogers was standing, one snowy morning, near the St. Nicholas Hotel, when suddenly there was a great excitement on Broadway. A man rushed up to him and grabbed his watch. The old man struggled with the thief, who gave him a mortal wound. His murderer, however, left a part of his coat in the hands of Rogers, who had siezed it. In the pocket was found an envelope addressed to James Logan. Whether a man of that name did the deed or not, none, but the murderer ever knew. Several bad characters of the name of Logan were arrested and discharged for lack of proof. Then there was the Colt tnurder years ago. Colt committed suicide, and, it is said, the Toombs was set on tire in ordor to permit him to kill himself. The Hull murder might have been a greater cause celebre than even the papers made it out to be, if it bad not been for Chastine Cox's discovery. Tho au thorities were within an ace of having Dr. Hull indicted. There was enough circumstantial evidence to have settled him. The convict's story, the candle grease and the matches all made up a train of evidence that he could nover have gotten away from. The Hull caso is done with now, I think, for over, bv the confession of Cox himself. ~u How many murders are there committed every year in this city for which no cause la discovered or clue to the assassin is found

It's hard to say. The books of the Coroner's offloe frequently tell only half the number. 'Pound dead' is the usual verdict, even In cases where murder has been done. Many cases attributed to suicide are really Instances of assassination. I bolieve there are any number of this kind. I think ttftv a year In this city is not too small a figure."

Mr. John Sparks, chief olerk of the court of general sessions, was seen at the brownstone court house yesterday. In answer to an Inquiry he said There are not many cases happening like the Prince street tragedy. Almost every one of any importance and where sufficient evidence is obtainable to come to the grand jury. The larger portion of such oases, and where a great fuss Is made over them, are suicides, who, tired of life, have committed selfmurder. The physicians are rarely wrong, *nd

MYSTERIOUS MURDERS.

TRAGEDIES THAT ABSORBED THE PUBLIC ATTENTION IN BYGONE DAYS.

MURDERERS WHO WERE HANGED AND OTHERS WHO iSSiOAPED THE GALLOWS.

NEW YORK REPORTER'S TALK WITH A DETECTIVE AB'/UT CRIMES AND MYSTERIES.

decide between a

bouaflde suicide and an assassination. The district attorney's office has no knowledge of such affairs until they leave the coroner, who files his inquisition In all cases of homicide. Throughout the year I do not believe there are more than twelve instances where there is anything like an involved case. Where the mysterious does come in it is occasioned by the lack of evidence. There was the murder of his wife by James Burke, alias Tracy. You may remember that while drunk somewhere in California —Sacramento, I think —he confessed and was brought back to this city. Then there was the case of the colored woman who was burned to death in a Twenty-seventh street brothel. It looked like a mysterious murder at first but after all it was shown to only be an accident,"

Do you remember any oases where the murderer was never discovered!" "Several. Nearly forty years ago, when I was a boy, the murder of Mary C. Rogers used to be talked about. She was an attendant in John Anderson's cigar store. At that time cigar stores were few and far between. Anderson's plaoe was on Broadway next to the hospital in Pearl street. She was a most attractive and beautiful girl Suddenly she was found to be misting, and as

4**H*ir-V :sH rsf 'f

she was a great favorite her disappearance caused a sensa'tion. She had left the store to go home one Saturday and was never seen alive again. On Monday she did not return to the store, and search was tnade to find out where she had gone. On Wednesday or Thursday her body was found floating off the Elysian Fields of Hoboken. There was no doubt she had been outraged, then murdered and thrown into the river. The case excited the greatest- publie interest. The people in those days were not like those of the present, and a bungle was made in tracipg the murder. Suspicion had been directed to one man—I forgot his name, but he is dead now. He was shadowed, and taken into custody, but after an examination was discharged There never was any further clue fol lowed which could bring the crime home t« any one. Although the exrcitement was kept up for some time, the murderer was never discovered, and the Mary C. Rogers mvstery will only be explained at the Judgment Day. "The Colt case was somewhat cele brated, was it not? tho reporter asked

Yes, and it caused a great sensation There are even those to-day who believe it remains unsolved. John C. Colt was a brother of Samuel Colt, the great re volver inventor, aud is claimed to have committed a terrible murder at the corner of Broadway and Chambers street nearly forty years ago. Colt was a professor of bookkeeping, and was the author and publisher of several works on his system of accounts. These were were printed by a man named Samuel Adams, in whose debt Colt had fallen pretty heavily. Adams, it is said, was always dunning him for money, and tho supposition is that he was upon one occasion very presistent for his claims. This enraged Colt, who assaulted and killed him with a hammer. After the murder, ih order to cover up the homi cide, he thrust the body into a dry goods box. He then purchased salt and pickled it. One morning he brought carter to his office, whom he employed to convev the box to a bark lying oft the foot of Murray street, and which was destined for a Southern port. Tfce vessel being detained for several days by stress of weather was the means of discovering the murder. The box con taining the body had been laid in the hold, but was afterward brought on deck "A terrible smell having been per ceived to emanate from the box, the Captain ordered the box to be opened and discovered the body. Suspicion was directed to Colt, and the story of the carman came out. He was advertised for, and having been found and having been brought face to face with Colt, asserted positively that the latter was the men whe hired him to remove the box. Colt was arrested and tried His counsel were the noted lawyers Dudley Seldon and ex-Mayor Morris He was convicted and sentenced to be hanged on Nov. 18, 1842. I remember the day well, for I went to see the exe cution. There was a wooden cupola on the Tombs then, and which was set on fire. During the attendant excitement the Sheriff went to give Colt notice and found him with a long knife driven through hia heart," 'Of course you are well posted on the Burdell mystery?" "Indeed, I am. Harvey Burdell, the Bond street dentist, was mysteriously murdered 20 years ago. For this, his housekeeper, Mrs. Cunningham, and man named John J. Escles were indict ed. Coroner Connery conducted the investigation. Mrs. Cunningham was tried and acquited. Eccles was never put upon his trial. Oakey Hall was the district attorney. It was supposed that Mrs. Cunningham had murdered Bur iell in order to get possession of his money. She claimed she was his wife and that the marriage had been perform ed by a clergyman. Burdell is said to have bees personated by Eccles. What a sharp kind of a woman she was is shown by the fact that aftor the trial she pretended to be enceinte. Dr. Uhl, doctor whom she took into her confi dence and who betrayed her to the dis trict attorney, agreed to have a child brought to her house in a basket, which was to be asserted to be the heir of Burdell. For this conspiracy she was indict ed, but never tried. Burdell's property, however went to his natural heirs, his nephews and neices. Not long ago her counsel received a letter from her from California making inquiries. He told me that he learned she had married clergyman who had since died and left her a vast property, the result of mining speculations." "Helen Jewett was said to have been murdered in 1836 by Richard P. Robin son, in the brothel of Mrs. Rosina Townsend. The weapon with which Helen Jewett was killed was a hatchet After the murder had been consum mated, her bed was set on fire to hide the traces of the crime. Robinson was suspected and arrested, but escaped by the eloquence of his counsel, Ogden Hoffman, and peijury of the witnesses for the defense. One of these, Furlong, a respectable man, swore to an alibi by testifying that Robinson was sleeping on a lounge in his store when the murder of Helen Jewett took place. Rob inson's character was unexceptionable with the solitary fact of his having kept the murdered girl as a mistress."

CALCRAFT, THE HANGMAN.

THE ROMANCE OF HIS DAUGHTER— ONE WOMAN THAT HE HANGEB

London World.

"1 suppose I am the only person with whom the late hangman had any relations approaching friendship. Some twelve, years ago I used to fish every Saturday afternoon in the Lea, near Sewardstone. Afternoon afternoon there was wont to oonfront me on the left bsnk a littleold.man with a long whiteboard. We began to converse on fishing topics, and gradually grew quito intimate, always, however, with the stream between us. "At length, one day a sudden thunderstorm came on, and refuge bad to be sought. I counseled the old man to mske for a bridge, get to my side ao company me to tne Fountain, a well knowu fishing public hoase. As we were approaching the public house, he stopped, and said be would rather that I went in alone. I pressed him for the reason. Finally, with some emotion, he told me who be was, spoke of the possibility of his being recognized, and tbe embarrassment the recognition wonld cause me. 'I always take a man as I find him: and if Titus Oates were a man of social tendencies, I should not have the slightest hesitation In standing him a dinner at the Continental. Calcraft, I think, was touched, and we became almost friends as we sat and drauk while the thunder storm spent itself. Then afterward be told me some curious anecdotes of his professional career.

Mrs. Manning, he said, was tbe worst subject be had ever worked off. She was somehow a sort of distant cousin of his, and when on the scaffold he spoke to her soothingly. Her return was to make her teeth almost meet in tbe ball of his thumb, as he pulled the nigbtoap down over her faoe. He promised to give me whole sheaves of anecdotes, and never saw tbe old man afterward.

"There ran through Calcraft's nature a curious vein of romance. When I knew him he had an only daughter, just grown up, on whom he doted. She bad found a sweetheart, so he told me one day in our cross stream gossips, and she asked her father to be allowed to bring him home. Calcraft compelled the girl to be candid with her lover as to her father's 'profession'—the expression was his'own but tbe girl could not bring herself to speak out, and she successfully entreated her father to keep the gruesome secret also. The lover was an assiduous visitor to the mansion Calcraft up the New North roadway, and tbe marriage day was actually fixed." "He owned that he wft,s miserable with the sense of false pretence and tbe presentiment of impending misfortune. One night, after the lover had said good bye to his girl a genial neighbor stopped him—a woman of course, Calcraft bitterly interpolated—and revealed to tbe lover who his impending father-in-law was. The feilow went away and never came back. The girl was miserable, and the poor hangman was doubly miserable, partly In sympathy for his child's suffering, partly in remorse for his own share in bringing it about. Here is the theme for a tragedy in the hands of a man like Mr. Wills,"

When once used will retain its place forever.

It Is celebrated for its advantages, in that it is one of the largest sewing machines manufactured—adapted alike to the use of the family or the workshop. It has the largest shuttle, with a bobbin that holds almost a spool of thread.

Theshuttle tension is adjustable without removing the shuttle from the machine. This machine is so constructed that the power is applied directly over the needle, thus enabling it to sew the heaviest material with unequaled ease.. It is very simple in its construction, durable as iron and steel can make it, all its wearing parts case hardened or steel, and ingeniously provided with means for taking up lost motion so we are justified in Warranting Every Machine for 3

Tears.

It is the lightest and easiest running machine in the market, it is, also, the most aborately ornamented and prettiest machine ever produced.

With all these advantages, it is sold from 815 to $25 less than other first-class machines
