Boston is aghast at the developments
from day to day of the enormous forgeries
of the Rev. and Hen. Kara D. Winslow.
Fresh evidences of his duplicity are con
tinually coming to light, all of which tend
to strengthen the belief that as a shrewd,
artful, calculating and unmerciful rogue
he has not a superior on the criminal cal
endar. The full extent of his forgeries will
not be known for some time yet, probably.
It is thought that the amount of forged
paper will foot up nearly $600,000. At
least twenty national banks have been bit
ten by him, and a number of savings banks
in different parts of the State have been
victimized. The following particulars of
the career and crimes of this remarkable
swindler are gleaned from the Boston pa
pers :
Winslow’s first forgeries, as far as ascer
tained, date back to May of last year.
■Since that time he must have negotiated
paper to the amount of half a million, for
there is still almost half of that in the
hands of those who will lose the full
amount on the face of the notes. Some of
these have single endorsers, and some four
or five, his favorite endorser having been

moment, and then said : ’*1 will pay it

Mr. Winslow brought the money in, and
as he handed it to M r. Potter and received
the note, he said: ‘ You need n6t count it>,
for it came from the Exchange Bank.”
The money was counted and found to be
correct.
WINSLOW THFN BURST INTO TEARS,
and said he had been sorely pressed, but
he thanked God he was now out of his
difficulties. Mr. Potter then said to him :
“Winslow, how much more of this kind
of paper have yon put upon the market ?”
Winslow assured Mr. Potter that was the
only piece, saving: “Ido not know why I
did such a thing, but I supposed it would
not be known, for l have made arrange
ments with a savings hank for a loan, and
at last I am now out of all my difficulties.”
Winslow was very much excited about
the matter, and after assuring Mr. Potter
that this was the first departure from vir
tue’s path, urged him to keep silent about
the matter, and to write to Mr. Poland
and enjoin secrecy upon him. He asked
Mr. Potter if he thought his intended
visit to New York was with a view oi get
ting clear? to which Mr. Potter replied
that he had not thought of it in that light,
but he was determined he should not go
to New York that day if the note was not
taken up.

Winslow’s plausible manner did much
for him in his business transactions. He
was a great borrower, and had a faculty of
obtaining money from quarters where oth
ers could not. A citizen of Newton, since
deceased, lent him $500, and shortly after
wards he was told that Winslow was noi
“safe,” and advised to collect the amount
and lend him no more. Acting upon the

day, the 17th, Winslow again referred to
his intended departure, and on Wednes
day he said that he should go on to New
York that night. Sheldon replied that he
had just telegraphed to R. Hoe & Co.
about the new press they were building
for them, and Winslow said he would go
in and see them, and have the business
attended to. On that evening he, with
his wife and son and wife’s sister, took
passage for New York. The next day
(Thursday) Sheldon received a dispatch
from him, about II o’clock in the morning,
as follows: “All right; will be back to
morrow.”
THE RASCALITY DISCOVERED.
Winslow did not return on Thursday or
Friday, and on Saturday, to the astonish
ment of Mr. Sheridan, the business man
ager, Mr. Porter appeared in the office,
allowing him a complete bill of sale of the
whole establishment, and continued him
in his place as business manager. Later
in the day a gentleman informed him that
he had his indorsement on one of Mr.
Winslow’s notes for $55,000. Mr. Sheldon's
astonishment was only equalled by that of
the creditor when told that his indorse
ment was a forgery. Finding that Wins
low was gone, no one knew where, he was
by no means calm enough to keep his own
counsel, and, by Monday, rumors had be
come certainty, and every one knew that
Winslow had committed forgeries to an
enoimous extent. Winslow’s claim to he
considered
THE “SMARTEST MAN IN YANKEEDOM”
will hardly be disputed. The history of
his successful schemes for money-raising
shows that education has helped one man
to be a most consummate rascal. Every
thing was planned to prevent any discov
ery of his “little game,” and when by ac
cident it was revelled to one or two, the
means of preventing any disclosure were
never wanting. Those gentlemen whose
notes were often on the street, and w hose
sign-manual w as recognized as valuable as
that of Treasurer New on State street, were
used very liberally, but yet with muci.
discretion. Mr. Winslow, however, found
that even his persistent persuasiveness
could not induce every acquaintance to
give or take a note ; and he resorted to
very ingenious devices to raise money. A
good deal of paper has been in circulation
purporting to be that of the Hon. Francis
B. Hayes. The business acquaintances of
that gentleman know that he is not given
to circulating paper bearing his name,
and, in fact, Mr. W’inslow knew this as
well as any one else. Bnt, with great
shrewdness, the arch forger set about his
work. He would go to a man with an air
of great secrecy, saying that Mr. Hayes
did not wish to have his name appear in
connection with his plan to borrow, that
THE NOT* WAS GIVEN AS A GREAT FAVOR
to himself, Winslow, and that he felt that
the recipient of the note ought to recognize
the fact that the favor was extended to him
also. In most cases Mr. Winslow’s plausi
ble statement was accepted without a de
mur. At one time one of these notes was
refused by one from whom Winslow tried
to obtain the needful, who possibly suspec
ted that there was some deception in the
matter. Bnt he was led by Winslow's ur
gent request to say nothing to Mr. Hayes
about the presentation of the note. And
so it happened that the secret of the for
gery was locked up in the bosoms of Wins
low’s victims. Not an intimation that any
of his paper wasin circulation reached Mr.
Hays until the denouement of the great
farce, when he was astonished by the .pre
sentation of the notes bearing his name.
Not a scrap of paper purporting to be sign
ed by him and put upon the market is
genuine, and had it not been fur the im
plicit following of the forger’s advice by
his victims, the truth might have been
known weeks ago.
HOW WINSLOW WAS CHECKMATED BY MR.
POTTER.
The details of his operations on Mr. A.
P. Potter, president of the Maverick Na
tional Bank, are as follows: Several
months ago a note of Winslow’s, endorsed
by Mr. Chamberlain, was discounted at
the bank for $1,200, and was paid at ma
turity. Mr. Winslow frequently made ap
plication to Mr. Potter for money, who re
fused him on the ground that he was not
acquainted with the financial standing of
the endorsers. On the 12th of this month
he offered several pieces of paper, but Mr.
Potter declined them. The next day Win
slow called again and said he wanted
$6,000, and he would give his note with
D. E. Poland's endorsement. Mr. Potter
said that he would take it, but Winslow-
added that he had not yet obtained the
endorsement, as Mr. Poland was very par
ticular about the collateral which he was to
receive for signing his name. Mr. Potter
said that when he obtained the name of
Mr. Poland it would be all right. Mr. Pot
ter, meeting Mr. Poland on the street on
the same day, made the inquiry if he was
GOING TO ENDORSE WIN8LOW a NOT*,
to which Mr. Poland replied ti at Winslow
had urged him to do so, and had prom
ised to give him security. On the 16th,
which was Saturday, Mr. Winslow brought
the note for $6,000, endorsed with the
name of D. E. Poland. The interest was
a matter of some dispute, and Mr. Wins
low was strenuous for a low rate. Mr.
Potter having been assured by Winslow
that Mr. Poland had at last accepted his
collaterals, was not even suspicious of any
thing wrong. Mr. Potter took the precau
tion of letting Mr. Poland know that he
had discounted the note, and placed the
note in his pocketbook, and on Monday
called at his place of business. He was
not in. On Tuesday be called again, but
Mr. Poland was absent. On Wednesday
he addressed a line to Mr. Poland asking
him to drop into the Maverick Bank as he
went home. Mr. Poland called about 2:30
on that day, the 19th instant, and was in
formed by Mr. Potter that Winslow had
been fortunate in satisfying him as re
gards the collateral, for he had discounted
the note. The note was produced and
the endorsement was at once pronounced
a forgery. The astonishment of Mr. Pot
ter knew no bounds when
his friend met again, and the inquiry
was made if Winslow had returned the
money, to which the gentleman replied
that he had seen Winslow and had had an
hour’s conversation with him, and that he
said it would be a very great accommoda
tion to him il he could have the use of it
a short time longer. “But did you get the
money ?” said the friend. “No,” said the
gentleman, “hut Winslow succeeded in
getting $1,500 more out of me.” It is now-
suspected that much of what is called
“forged paper,” negotiated by Mr. Win
slow, has genuine names upon it. It is
known that in some instances men have
been induced to sign notes because other
strong names were upon them, and it is
quite probable that much of his paper con
tains both forged and genuine names.
Bo much for Winslow’s business rela
tions. His method of living was certainly
extravagant, even ii the way in which he
raised money is considered. His house at
Anbumdaie was insured for $17,000, and
was considered one of the linest estates in
town. That the furniture was of unusual
elegance may he seen from the fact that it
was insured for $20,000, and there was no
charge of over-valuation. The house be
longed to 3. N. Pulsifer, who had all the
policies of insurance on it. Some oi toe
policies on tiie furniture had been adjusted
by the companies in which the risks were
placed. One of these adjusted claims he
obtained the money for, but, not content
with this, he hypothecated the same claim
as security to a private party. Another of
these insurance claims he sold to two dif
ferent parties. Winslow was a man of
quick intelligence, of ready and entertain
ing speech, and a genial manner which
had

In the pulpit he spoke with fervor and an
easy eloquence of the kind tiiat has its
spring in the sentiment. Although he has
not for several years been settled over a
parish, he frequently appeared in the pul
pit, and two or three years ago was active
iu the organization of a religious society in
Brooklyn. Why he left the ministry to
engage in business ami politics we do not
know. It could not be on account of
physical disability, for not one minister in
fifty does so muefi work as lie has done to
accumulate a fortune and obtain political
honors. In politics he belonged to the
class of men w ith numerous personal fol
lowers whose services they can command
whenever they want an office, without
much regard to what use they make of
power.

as a preacher was at Auburndale on Sun

who heard it as a masterly production, full

HIS ESCAPE.
As already announced by telegraph, it
has been definitely ascertained that Win
slow has left the country and is now safe
beyond the reach of the criminal authori
ties of the United States. It was suppos
ed that he intended going to some port in
Brazil, probably Rio de Janeiro, as some
weeks before tiie expose of his swindling
operations he told a friend in Boston that
he intended spending the winter in Brazil
with his family. He had also consulted a
celebrated lawyer in Boston, who is known
as authority on international law, as to
what countries in Europe and in .South
America a forger would he free from mo
lestation owing to the non-existence of ex
tradition treaties with the United States,
giving as a reason for his desiring such
information that he wished to write an ed-
torialjn reference to the case of Lucius
W. Pond, the forger, of Worcester,
Mass., nowin prison. The detectives in
New York on Wednesday last learned that
the steamer itotterdam sailed for Rotter
dam on Friday morning, and that Win
slow and his family were passengers on
the steamer. Mr. Fitz Morris, who has
charge of the list of passengers sailing in
the first cabin, stated that on Thursday a
man answering in every particular the de
scription of Winslow called at the office
and desired to engage passage on the
steamer Rotterdam for himself, his wife,
son, and a sister-in-law, and asked partic
ularly if the steamer would sail positively
th it afternoon, but was informed that the
steamer would be detained until early Fri
day morning. Winslow appeared very
much disappointed when he heard this,
aud left the office without engaging pas
sage. In the afternoon he returned and
made further inquiries about the steamer,
asking among other things if she carried
the Dutch or American flag, and whether
he could take his family on board at once
and be allowed to remain until the steam
er sailed. He was told that the steamer
CARRIED TUB DUTCH FLAG,
and he Could go on hoard as soon as he
pleased after engaging and (laying his pas
sage. Ha thereupon engaged passage for
four persons, aud during the afternoon
went on board the steamer, and remained
there during the night. The steamer sailed
for Rotterdam at 7 o’clock on Friday morn
ing, and is due at her destination on Feb
ruary 2d. Detective Dearborn had in his
possession a photograph jf Winslow, and
to make sure that lie was the man spoken
of as having sailed in the Itotterdam, the
picture was shown to Mr. Morris, mixed
tip with ten atbef cartes de visites of dif
ferent persons. Mr. Morris unhesitatingly
selected the photograph of "Winslow as that

As there is no extradition treaty between
the United States and Holland, tiie fugitive
is perfectly safe. It lias also been ascer
tained that on the day Winslow engaged
passage on the Dutch steamer he pur-
cliased at a banking house on Broadway- a
draft on Rotterdam for 3,700guilders. He
bought the passage tickets, and also the
draft, under the name of John Clifton. It
is also stated that Winslow had with him
a box containing $200,000, chiefly in gold
coin, which he nad placed in the specie
room on the steamer before sailing.
is to the persons to whom they were dis
posed of, as unlike registered bunds

ing been required by law, no regular
record have ever been kept of the persons
Applying for exchangeor purchase.” Since
the date of that reply no specific informa
tion in regard to the disposition of said
bonds have been received by me, until
about the time of removal of the late
Treasurer from office. He then informed
me that he had found in the vault of the
Treasury a book containing a partial state
ment of the sale of said bonds.
Upon the receipt of the resolution to
which this is an answer, inquiry was made
of the Treasurer for said book, but it
cotild not be found. Learning that
it was in the possession of the late Treas
urer, the Treasurer has requested its re
turn to the treasury. This request was
complied with, and examination of this
record shows that of the $1,200,000 bonds
issued, $1,089,250 sold to various persons,
and $50,000 was sent to the Fourth Na
tional Bank of New York. Of the remain
ing $60,750,00, the names of purchasers do
not ap|>ear. The enquiry for wiiat they
were sold, can best be answered by the
following extract from the annual report
of the Treasurer submitted to the Gover
nor January 1st, 1874:
Referring to the sale of bonds issued
under authority of the act, approved Feb
ruary 19, 1873,the Treasurer said: “These
bonds were advertised but a few days
when the demand for them ca«ie up from
our ow n people, and before they w ere pre
pared for issue the funds had been re
ceived and certificate issued for near
$200,000, and this a little over a month
after their advertisement. Holders of old
bonds of the State past due aud unpaid,
seeing the confidence with which
these bonds were taken at home,
began to send in their bonds tor
exchange in terms of the advertisement,
and before tiie end of the summer full
two-thirds of the new bonds had been dis
posed of at par. The announcement of
this fact, as well as the acknowledged ex
cellence of the securities, increased the
demand at home and elsewhere, and 1
have now the sincere pleasure to report
and show to your Excellency- ttiat they are
all disposed of—that they have been sold
at par, and that the expenses of their sale,
from the engraving and printing of the
bonds to the postage and express fees in
negotiating and •miding them away, have
scarcely exceeded three-fourths of one per
cent. The book does not contain, and I
have not been able to ascertain from any
other source the dates of the sale or ex
change of these bonds. The record is
quite voluminous, but it has been deposi
ted in the Treasurer’s office, and is subject
to the order of the General Assembly.

A raw-boned youth of 16, with a prefer-

with a mysterious air : “Here, boss, don 1 '
you want to make $10,000?” The city ed
itor said he did, if the method of doing so
should prove consistent with honor.
“Then,” said this young man, as he spat
out a grown man’s tobacco ration, “you
justgim uie a ticket to Philadelphia. ^That
snouzer at St. Taibans was a darn fraud
I’m the real article. I’m little Charlie

Gen. Tyler, whose death at Boston we
recently announced, was closely identified
with the theatrical history of this country
His lather, Royal Tyler, wrote, it has heett
said, the first American play ever per
formed. His uncle. Col. John 8. Tyler,
once a commander of the cadets, conducted
the old Federal Street Theatre, Boston, in
1795, ou behalf of the stockholders, from
desire to advance the drama rather than
from any hopes of pecuniary advantage.
The General was at one time associated as
amateur manager of the Tremont Theatre,
and also one of the directors of the Boston
Theatre for several years.

against the government.
Week before last a “raid” was made in
Gilmer, commanded by Captain C. B.
Blacker, deputy marshal and special col
lector, supported by his special deputy
marshals, Juan Anglin and Eblin, Captain
Ware, deputy collector, and Sergeant
Wells, with three United States soldiers,
Win. O’Grady, Newnan and Lyon, and
gnided by parties named Auiiey and
Early.
The first attack was on the premises of
Thomas Jones, on Boardtown. Jones was
arrested, his dwelling house searched, two
teacups of whiskey found, seized and
drank hv the raiders. Thomas Jones, who
was sicl, in bed, was carried off, although
no distillery or whiskey was found on the
premises, except about a pint—liis wife
and daughters insulted by ruffians enter
ing their bed-rooms at night when they
were in bed aud asleeo.
From there a squad proceeded to Mr.
John Emory’s, where they found four
neighbors in the still house waiting for tbe
moon to give light so as to go ou home.
These citizens, Haliford, Leatherwood,
Rogers and Bission, were arrested with
out warrant or authority of law, because
they were found sitting by the fire, but
not engaged in running the still. These
citizens were s-arched for arms, aud al
though they disclaimed anv interest or
connection with ti e distillery, and told
who the owner was, they were placed un
der guard and not allowed to move or get
off their seats. A guard was then placed
at the door of the still house, Mr. Emory,
whose dwelling was about fifty yards dis
tant, was at once notified by a neighbor
that the revenue officers were in the
neighborhood, and ran to his distillery,
and was shot dead without being challen
ged or notified that anv one was in his
distiller except his neighbors. The life
less coi jise was dragged into the creek, and
brush and logs thrown over it. The stiff
was then thrown down, beer and mash
tubs cut to pieces, aud Mrs. Emory’s wash
pot broken to pieces. Haillord, Leather-
wood, Rogers and Sisson were handcuffed
and marched to Emory’s house. Sergeant
Wells cut red the house, filled two jugs
with brandy from a keg holding less than
five gallons (am? it was all that was in the
house), burst the keg and wasted the re
mainder in the floor, cursed and swore
and left. The following is another extract
from the proceedings:
On the mornii.gof tbe 15th, Mrs. Emory
was led to tiie body ol her dead husband,
by seeing his fiat flouting in the creek. An
inquest was held and warrants issued for
the arrest of the criminals. As law-abid
ing citizens we have appealed to the law,
and by the decision of the law will we
abide, hut this w ill give us no relief un
less the leaders and instigators of this
horrible tragedy are checked. To this end
we appeal to the General Assembly of
Georgia, now in session, and ask them to
take such steps as will afford us protection.
We appeal to our members of Congress
and ask them to bring the matter to the
attention of the Federal authorities and
ask protection for us from the Federal
government.
The foregoing facts we gather from the
proceedings of a large meeting held last
week in Elijav, comprising some of the
best citizens in the county. We can not
doubt the truth of the statements made It
is a sad reflection upon free government
where the execution of the public laws are
attended with such acts as those recited.
The revenue collectors are bound to en
force the laws, but they are not bound to
insult and murder in the performance of
their duties. They are not bound to en
ter the bed-rooms of respectable ladies in
the night time for such purposes. Such
ruffianly conduct ought to be repelled by
the people if tliev can have protection in
no other way. It is a shame and disgrace,
and an outrage upon a free people to sub
ject them to such outrageous conduct on
the part of Federal officials and soldiers.
If the Legislature, now in cession, does
not take proper action in regard to such
conduct, it will not deserve the respect of
au honest people. It is an outrage upon
private rights and public liberty tiiat ought
to meet the sternest condemnation and due
punishment, and we hope to see the viola
tors properly dealt with.

with her wholly as a nun, the father ami
mother finally yielded, anil six months
ago Mademoiselle de Reszke made her
debut at the Grand Opera in the role of
Ophelia. Her success was immediate and
incontestable, and, in fact, she has been
hailed as the only rising star in that gal
axy of waning luminaries, the company of
the Grand Opera. Owing to her birth, har
beauty, her unspotted reputation and her
rapidly increasing fame, all the fashionable
salons of Paris have been thrown open to
her, but she refuses to mingle with society,
cares nothing for amusements, and Is
wholly and solely absorbed in the pursuits
oi her art. She is an indefatigable student,
and is never discouraged or distressed by
adverse criticism, but takes it, on the con
trary, as a valuable Indication for future
improvement. “If the critics say that I
failed in such or such a passage,” she is
wont to Bay, "there must be something
wrong, and I will try toset it right.” There-
unon she shuts herself up with the music
of the part in question. Mile, de Resxke

with the loveliest arms and shoulders im

piquant, her eyes are large and dark, while
her profuse tresses, or at least their stage

Her voice is a clear, powerful, resonant
