WAS HE A DEAF MUTE ? The Mysterious Case of George Mor rison. the fioston Globe. Xu the issue of the Journal of Education of June Si. A. i’ Marble furnishes an article under the title of “The Murder of a Mind,” which recalls all the mystery and strange associations in the caso of Caspar Hauser, the man who 50 years ngo was the puzzle of all Europe. Mr. Marble’s story deals with a fuse under his own observation, which he alleges oc curred in Massachusetts within a few years. In the details of the ease there is described the murder of a mind, unlike in many re spects that of Houser, but nonetheless atrocious. The victim appeared for a short time, was studied, like Caspar Hauser, to no end, and the perpetrator eluded all attempts at discovery. The victim, too, disappeared and left no clew as to who were his persecutors; the ob ject of their scheme, however, was apparent. Beyond a doubt there was but one motive, that of preying upon the benevolent, making deaf mutes the victims and instruments of fraud. It seems that late in the fall of ISS4. Mr. Marble received a slip from a Pittsfield paper, describing one George Morrison, who had gone about the town, bearing a letter with his (Mr. Marble’s) name attached, com mending him to the charitable. He was deaf and dumb, and claimed that he was raising funds with which to educate himself. Mr. Marble had no recollection of writing such a letter, but at the timo paid no atten tion to the matter. Again in the spring of 1885 Mr. Marble heard of this same Morrison through Mr. Flint, of Palmer, who wrote asking whether he had furnished the letter of commenda tion. He could not remember having writ ten any such letter, though in the pres sure of business such might have been pos sible. He made answer to Mr. Flint to this eifect. Soon Mr. Palmer, a sheriff of Hampden county, called on Mr. Marble and told him the circumstances. Morrison had called on Mr. Flint, and presenting the letter bearing Mr. Marble’s signature he had received lib eral aid; further, Mr. Flint gave him a let ter to a uumber of his friends. Armed with this the hoy visited North Adams, Pittsfield, and other towns and re turned to Mr. Flint saying he only lacked $8 75 of the SSOO necessary to send him to school. Mr. Flint gave him the remainder, but was much surprised within a few weeks to hear of the boy in Connecticut, still so liciting aid and for the same avowed pur pose. He began to grow suspicious aud CAUSED THE BOY’S ARREST, he being brought to Palmer. Mr. Marble was present at the prelimi nary trial, not without misgivings as to the treachery of his memory. When the lad was produced he was found to be about lb or 17 years of age, pale of countenance, but by no means full of anxiety. He was dressed in common clothes, checked shirt, without collar or cravat. He evinced no surprise, intelligence or anxiety. He looked upon those about him as a chimpanzee might upon the crowds at the menagerie. When his gaze rested on Mr. Marble lie showed no sign of recognition. Could it be possible Mr. Marble had forgot ten both the meeting with him and his face likewise? The case was called; the charge, obtain ing money under false pretences; the prisoner pleaded not guilty. Someone com municated the proceedings to him in writing and guarded his rights. The witnesses bore their testimony, and Mr. Flint produced the scraps of paper on which were his conversa tion with Morrison. When Mr. Marble was called, the pris oner seemed not to know his name, or ever to have seen him. The letter was produced, and it was found to be not in tlio handwrit ing of Mr. Marble, nor was the signature genuine. This vindicated Mr. Marble’s memory, but his interest was excited. It appeared that Morrison had attended school at Worcester, had been in the institu tion at Northampton, and again in the asylum at Portland, Mo. It was shown that he had at times sums of money reaching into the thousands, but when arrested he had only $3 or $4 and a bunch of keys to five Yale locks. Whence he came, no trace could be found. The schools which he claimed to have at tended knew nothing of him. There he was with $3 in his possession, the keys and noth ing more. Where did the keys belong? What had become of the money lie had collected? All was a profound mystery. The boy would answer with great prompt ness any question about the schools ho at tended, and when he made any inconsistent statement he quickly framed an explanation. Ho was cunning and as cool as if he wore used to addressing courts. Finally he was told that ho would be sent to jail unless he told the truth. Ho said: “I tell the truth; I have not cheated.” Mr. Marble asked him who was his friends. He said; “Let them find out, they are so smart. ” At last he said he had an uncle in Hya cinth, P. Q. This led Mr. Marble to think he could speak French, and so asked him. He replied: “Non, je ne par la pas, mais je, l’ecris” (No, I do not speak it, but I write it). He knew something of two languages, he knew of several schools, he was quick witted, ho had much money at times, and the STORY ABOUT BEING ROBBED was inconsistent. About the letter over Mr. Marblo’s name, he said it had been given him by someone at the Waverley House in Worcester. The lad was committed to await the ac tion of the grand jurv, and lay in jail in Springfield during the summer and until late in the fall. It was found he had been at one of the hotels under four different names, had played at billiards and went about soliciting money, always inquiring when he cainebaek whether any one, par ticularly the police, had beeu looking for him. On hearing of the boy Mr. Snell said he knew of a similiar ease occurring in Tren ton, N. J. Morrison, however, did not corre spond with the man Mr. Snell hail seen. Again, a similar incident, a deaf and dumb l)oy soliciting money in order to at tend school was heni'd of in New York State, but he could notrbo identified as Mor rison. The only other incident during the sum mer that hoars upon the subject was that a stranger stepped from a train at Springfield anil inquired for Morrison. This was the guilty party whom Morrison’s imprisonment was to bring to light. Finding Morrison was in jail, he boarded the train and was never seen again. The Eerson whom ho addressed did not know the nportance of causing his arrest. While in jail Morrison had been surprised once or twice in uttering sounds, which led the keep ers to believe ho could hear'and speak. In the main, however, he was as a deaf and dumb person. He neither wrote nor received any letters nor were any inquiries made for him, save luone instance. Ho was cheerful and contented and took his confinement of six months with a display of indifference and unconcern. He was brought to trial in November, and watched the proceedingsnsone would u play upon tile stage. He was depressed only when he saw the prisoners, who were sentenced, removed and he was left alone. A Miss Ilarton, whom he claimed to know, principal of the Portland school, came to the trial. She pronounced him a deaf mute, and showed great sympathy in his case. She sought to find out his antecedents without success. The district attorney had sufficient evi dence to show that he was the tool of some man or men who used him for their gain, llr. Flint hud died since tho preliminary trial, and tile forced letter could not. bo found among bis effects. The copy that Mr. Marble had made of the letter was ruled out as evidence, and as no other evidence could be produced the prisoner whs set at liberty. He left the court room, and no ono interested in the case has board of him since. Beyond a doubt this mute and the others were working under tho direction of the man who made the inquiries at Springfield, and, too, there is little doubt that they are working the same game in another part of the country. It is impossible that a boy could conceal his identity so absolutely 'unless he was trained to it. He hod been taught in Can ada, for he could use neither the sign lan guage nor his voice, after the manner of the New England trained pupils. At that age, top, special training was necessary to ac quire twi i languages. The last doubt as to his being a tool of some conspiracy is removed by his own con fession that he could tell who were his masters were he convicted of fraud. This had been his lesson, to keep silent until con victed, and perhaps he had further means to cover the principals so that they might not suffer the punishment they deserved. This certainly is a strange case of a mind turned into an infamous channel —of im pulses strangled that the man might become the instrument of fraud and deceit. A cer tain portion of his intelligence had been cul tivated—-his mind as a whole was a wreck. Of truth and honesty he knew nothing. He had no idea that he was defrauding, as Mr. Marble says. His conduct had no moral quality—the mind had been murdered; and this murder of mind is no better than tho crime against Caspar Hauser. INCINERATED. Dominick Steinbauer’s Body Reduced to Ashes. FVoni the Cincinnati Enquirer. The first thorough test of the workings of the new Cincinnati Crematory was made yesterday with the body of Dominick Stein bauer, who was burned to death in Gerko’s Brewery on last Tuesday. The wife of the unfortunate man is desirous of returning to her home in Switzerland and wanted to take her husband's body with her. The cost of transportation is too heavy and so she con cluded to have the corpse cremated. Mrs. Steinbaeur applied to the officials of the cre matory and, although the institution is not yet completed, they agreed to accommodate the woman, who said she would take her husband’s ashes across the ocean-to their former home. The incineration was set for 2 o’clock yesterday afternoon. It was in tended to make the affair AS PRIVATE AS POSSIBLE, and only a few invitations to witness the strange, spectacle were sent out. However, a crowd of perhaps two hundred gathered about the door of the building, but were not permitted to enter until the ceremonies had been concluded. Shortly after two o’clock an undertaker’s wagon arrived at the cre matory, which is located on Dixmyth ave nue, Clifton. The body of the victim was removed from the coffin in which it was in cased and placed on an iron cradle carriage. A white sheet saturated in alum water en veloped tho entire body. Mrs. Steinbauer, attired in deep mourning, entered the build ing, and present on the occasion were Mr. Benn Pitman and several ladies, Dr. T. C. Minor, ex-Mayor Charles Jacob, Mr. Mein inger and most of the officers of the society. At nine o’clock yesterday morning Mr. R. Conway, engineer of the crematory, lighted the fires and work of heating the retort be gan. He used coke and perfumed oil in combination, which produced an intense temperature. The walls of the furnace were so thick that no heat was radiated into the rest of the building. A window six feet square discloses the upper partjof the retort, but the body cannot be seen. At three o’clock everything was in readiness and the inanimate WHITE-ROBED FIGURE was rolled into the retort on the iron cradle carriage. The spectators maintained a pain ful silence, but in about two minutes a beau tiful blue flame was seen in the retort. It was caused by the burning of the alum sheet, for the heat had reached 1,800 degrees Fah renheit. While the little company gazed in awe mingled with admiration at the gor geous coloring, Mr. Bonn Pitman relievea.the stillness by a few remarks. He said that his wife’s body was the first ever cremated in this country. He told of the great preju dice against cremation existing then and now, but he spoke glowingly of the advan tages of it, and predicted that the time would come when incineration would be the only means of disposing of the dead. Mr. Pitman spake for about five minutes. In the meanwhile a bright, red flame lighted up the retort and the body was burning rapidly. As the mica window at the front was above the retort the spectators could not see the body, but through the small mica window in the rear where Engineer Conway was standing, the process of annihilation was observed by two or three gentlemen. When the remains were first put in the enshrouded body looked like a piece of white marble. Then a blue flame arose leaving a halo around the corpse. It was A WONDROUS SIGHT, and not in the least revolting or harrowing. Then tho figure seemed to bo caught up in a fire and a glow like that of a glorious sunset pervaded the retort. Presently the flesh was almost burned away and the skeleton was visible for a few minutes. The bones were very white and there was absence of the ghastliness which usually attaches to cadav ers in the medical colleges or in doctors’ offices. It required some! time to burn tho carbon out of tho liones, but the form of tho mau disappeared twenty minutes after being placed in the fiery retort. The livid fire kept up until tho body was reduced to ashes. Then it died away The widow and those sur rounding her felt not the shock or feeling of horror which follows the dropping of clods of clay upon the coffin of tho beloved dead. Mrs. Steinbauer showed the grief she felt in her face, but there were no moans or wails or cries. It was to most of those present a surprising revelation of the advantages of cremation. The little group at the rear mica window, which was on a level with the retort, watched the process of incinera tion oagerly. Tho bones parted impercepti bly, the rills holding together longer than any other part of the skeleton. The work was accomplished in just one hour and NOTHING BUT THE WHITENED ASHES of Dominick Steinbauer remained. He weighed at the time of his death 180 pounds. Owing to the extreme heat of the retort, and at tho request of the widow, the ashes were not removed last night. They will lie taken out to-dnv and turned over to Mrs. Stein liauor. The incineration was an entire suc cess and highly satisfactory to those who witnessed it. When the cremation had been finished about ono hundred and fifty people from the outside were admitted to the build ing. They inspected everything and gazed curiously at the small heap of ashes in tho retort. The iiros in the furnuce were al lowed to die out, but the retort will not bo cool liefore to-niglit. It is a noteworl hy fact that there was no odor arising from the ixxly and no sound whatever from the burning flesh. The ladies who saw the novel spocta clo, among whom was Miss Pitman, declared that their experience wus not at all unpleas ant. It didn’t affect them with the same sense of horror us standing by a grave in the cemetery. One fault which has been found against the crematory is its inaccessi bility. It is located on the topof a hill some distance from tho street car terminus, but the directors hope to have fine driveways made and induce the street car company to .extend its lines to within a short walk of the building. THE FURNACE OF TIIE CREMATORY is of the most improved pattern and the body in no way comes in contact with tho fuel. As soon as the arrangements are en tirely completed the board of directors will give a public exhibition of the successful operations of the institution. They were not expecting such a crowd as was present yesteraay, and it was impossible to oliey strictly trie request of Mrs. Hteinhauer, who wished to have only half a dozen present. When the crematory is completed a blower will be used to remove the ashes into a box, which will not cause the delay and Incon venience necessitated by waiting for the re tort to cool. It was stated that tho crema tory dh-ectors paid the expenses of the in cineration, but this is not true. Mrs. Steir.bnuer paid the $25 fee. Her husband, who was 65 years old, left an insurance of $6,000 on his life for her benefit, and she will have sufficient funds to take her back to Switzeriaud. HIE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, JULY 7, 1887. A KING OF COUNTERFEITERS. Tho President Sets the Noted Thomas Ballard Free. Regarding tho pardoning of Thomas Bal lard, the counterfeiter, already reported in the Morxing News, the Washington corre spondent of the New York Times says: The President’s pardon sets at liberty a man who was m his day unquestionably the most skillful counterfeiter who lias ever operated in this country, but whose present condition is such that Mr. Brooks, Chief of the Secret Service, who never before recommended the pardon of a counterfeiter, favored his re lease, and when the fact of tho pardon was announced to the Secret Service Bureau this afternoon there was a general and hearty exclamation of pleasure. Thomas Ballard was born in New York State m mo. His parents were from Bos ton, and all their associations were thor oughly respectable, except that after the boys took to counterfeiting a sister of the mother was for years mixed up with them. There were five sons and every one of them took to counterfeiting. The father was a carriage painter, and when Thomas was 18 he went to work for a carriage builder in Now York named Uinman. Hiumuu was connected by marriage with Joshua Miner, a powerful politician and a rich city' con tractor. Miner saw that Ballard was a remarkably bright fellow and had him spend four years in one of the bank note engraving concerns in New York learning engraving, and be also enabled him to ob tain a good deal of information about tho way things were managed in tho treasury. From 18(52 to 1870 a wholesale manufacture and distribution of counterfeit money was carried on by Miner und Hhinian as capi talists, Thomas Ballard as engraver, paper maker and general scientist; John and some other Ballard boys as assistants, and Cole and others as agents and general distribu tors. Thomas Ballard solved the mystery of the fibre paper used by the government. He could make the paper, engrave the plates, make the ink und print the notes, and his engraving is said by ex ports to have been equal to and often supe rior to any that in those early days was done in the government Bureau of Engraving. His fibre paper was just as good as that made for the government. This concern was ready to counterfeit anything. Bal lard’s first work was a plate" for the $1 greenback: then followed a 82 note on tho Shoe and Leather Bank of New York. Then came plates for $lO bills of three national banks in Poughkeepsie; $2O Shoe and Leather bills, and finally plates for printing $lOO and $5OO Treasury notes, and this is not an entire list. Ballard married an estimable woman, the lady to whom tho President makes such a graceful reference, and who supposed tor years that her husband was a reputable car riage painter, working in Hinman’s shop. Ballard never drank or smoked; he was per fectly regular in his hours and fond of his wife. Her suspicious wore never aroused till the detectives got after him. Every morning he left his houso, 225 West Fifty-third street, ostensibly for Hinman’s shop, but went to 256 Rivington street, where the counterfeit money was made, There he shut himself up in his room, and staid there till toward night. On Rivington street he was understood to be a night watchman in the custom houso, who of course slept all day and went to work as evening ap proached. Ballard lived this double lue for years without exciting suspicion. Ballard was arrested in October, 1871, with some of his confederates, and was locked up in Lud low street jail, but the next month he escaped, whether by his own ingenuity or Miner’s money and influence is not known. Miner was afraid of his testimony. For nearly throe years Ballard was a fugitive from justice, and no trace of him cpuld’be found, although a reward of $5,000 was out for him. Finally the police of Buffalo got hold of George Ballard, and by threats and by promisos of immunity they induced him to point out the houso "where his brothers, his aunt and another woman were carrying on their business. The house was surrounded and all the occupants oap tured. In the house was a scientific library, a fine chemical laboratory, quanti ties of plain and fibred bank note paper, and every appliance for counter feiting on a large scale. The plates were not very good, far inferior to the work of Thomas Ballard, except one extremely fine plate on a Canadian hank that Thomas was at work on. Five men divided the reward between them, among whom was Reed, who had distributed the “queer” money, but whose daughter had been betrayed by Ben Ballard, and who wanted revenge. Ben Ballard was sent to Michigan; George was allowed to go West free; William Ballard had, about the same tune, been arrested ill Lock port, N. Y., for passing counterfeit money, and Thomas was taken to the county jail at Auburn. He picked tho lead out of the settings of a grating, cast a key, opened the doors, and walked out of jail. 11c telegraphed to Miner for money, and Miner sent it, hut when Ballard went to tho express office he was arrested and taken to the county jail in Albany. In January, 1875, he got out of that jail, but was very soon captured. He was tried the same month before Judge Wallace and sen tenced to two terms in tho Albany jieniteii tiary of fifteen years, one to begin as soon as the other was completed. Martin I. Townsend, the Prosecuting Attorney, thought tho sentence too severe, and is one of tho persons who recommended the pardon. In prison he has been perfectly docile, has worked bard, and never made any trouble except that lie has twice made savage efforts to kill liimself. In 1878 lie tried to eviscerate him self ami to bleed himself to death, and in 1879 he partly cut his throat. His health has failed greatly and his melancholy has deepened till fears were entertained that his mind would give way entirely. All these years his wife has strained every nerve to secure her husband’s pardon. When Bul lard was tried lie said that ever since he passsed from Ludlow street jail he hud been trying to get an honest living at his trade, but the detec tives had dogged him, and he had had to keep moving constantly. He said that in the house where he was arrested, ho was simply experimenting witli a view to discovering a way of making paper and printing notes that would defy counterfeit ing, ami when his work was completed lie meant to offer it to the government as a means of settling up the old account against him. At various tunes since his incarcar pe ration he has made overtures to the Troas urry authorities with a view to trailing his information for a pardon, but no attention has been paid to these offers. There are no estimates of fho whole amount of counterfeit money that Thomas Ballard and his associates put into circula tion, blit John Ballard h-stifird in court that lie worked with his brother in the Kiv ington street establishment for three of the eight or nine years that concern was in operation, and while he was there the output was usually about 810,000 n month. The .Secret Service people estimated that tho Buffalo establishment, with which Thomas hod little to do, had inflated tho currency $250,000 and when the place was raided $115,- 000 in bank notes some finished plates and some in various stages of progress, were seized. Of the counterfeits the flve-hun drwl-dollar Treasury notes printed from the plates Thomas Ballard • in Kiving ton street passed through several hanks and were finally redeemed without suspicion, and this fact was only discovered when the history of the genuine notes was traced through the Treasury books. One of those notes ws> redeemed in 1875 by a United States depository in Chicago. On tho petition for the iwirdon of Thomas Ballard the President to-day wrote the fol lowing indorsement: “This prisoner was sentenced for thirty years in 1875 iqion a conviction of counter feiting. Ho wns sumxwod to he one of the most expert counterfeiters in the country. He has now been in prison equivalent to more than fifteen years, allowing tho deduc tion he has earned for good behavior. His conduct has tjeen such as to cause much in terest to be felt in his case by many good citizens of Albany, a* I personally learned while residing in that city. The prison offieials, the officers concerned in his con vietiou, the late district attorney and officers from the Department of Justice have visited the place of confinement and acquainted themselves with tho cir cumstances of the case anti many other humane and sulistantial citizens pray for his pardon. His wife, who has clung to him with a true woman’s devotion all these vears, and who has almost worn herself out in her efforts to support and educate her daughter, just now reaching womanhood, pleaded for her erring and penitent hus band's release. There is a universal belief on the part of those acquainted with the ease that the prisoner’s reformation is coin ple'e, and that in no circumstances could this broken down man, whose mind is fast giving way with his body, be a menace to society if liberated. lain of lhe opiniou that in this case the law has been fully vin dicated.” THE VOLUNTEER IS OFF. Launch of the Beautiful Steel Sloop at Wilmington. A Wilmington dispatch to the New York Star says: When the whistles announced knocking off “timo” last night in factories and ship yards near Christiana creek, every mun and woman, as if by common consent, quickly made their way to the I’usey & Joil* s shipyard, where Gen. Paine’s new stool sloop the Volunteer, was to bo launched. Everybody in the quaint old town was in terested in and proud ot the handsome yacht that tho strong arms of Wilmington’s mechanics had fashioned into anew defender of tho America’s cup. The gates of tho yurd were thrown open to the public before 6 o’clock, and at 0:80, when Mr. Pusey gave the orclcr, “Wedge up!” a couple of thou sand people surrounded the Volunteer. The scene was an impressive and picturesque one. Women and children in holiday at tire, perched high up on plank or scaffold, sat in rows one above the other, forming a semicircle around the yaeht, while men standing in groups below, with folded arms, discussed the study in steel in front of them. From the rail to the water line the Vol unteer was painted white, and below thut, a dark rod. lu shape she differs radically from either the Mayflower or Puritan, hav ing the appearance of greater soil-carrying power. Her bow, with its saucy clipper stem, is higher than the others, the rail making a graceful sheer aft to tlio stern, which in its pronouneed overhang is some what like the Mayflower. No flags floated over the sloop's deck, and the only persons who were launched in her were her designer, Edward Burgess, who came on from Boston for the purpose; Mr. Fairman Rogers, owner of the stenm yaeht Magnolia, and Second Mate Kennison of the Mayflower, who will accompany tho Volun teer to Boston. “Take down your shores,” shouted Mr. Pusey at 6:85, and five minutes later four men with a cross-cut saw were sawing in two the plank that held the big cradle-in place. Everything had been done methodi cally and quietly. It was just the top of high water. Two tugs with spring lines waited in the stream to check her. The plank was sawed apurt, and the thousands ashore in silence breathlessly waited. A couple of turns of a “jack-screw” under her “fore foot” was enough. “She moves!” “There she goes!” “Splendid!” was heard on all sides at 6:45 as the largest American sloop ever built plowed a white furrow in the placid creek, throwing a wall of water above her sliajiely stern, and a moment later floated majesti cally in her native element. Tlie multitude cheered itself hoarse. The crowds rushed to the shore and climbed up on the ways the Volunteer had just left to get a good look at her afloat and every word spoken was a compliment to the noble looking craft. As she lay still after the launch she was “down by the stern,” but it was evident that with her anchors on tho bow and spars aboard she would “set just right,” as an old sailor on tho wharf put it . The now sloop was not christened ns she left the ways, but Mr. Burgess assured the reporter that Gen. Paine hail decided to call her the Volunteer. She will probably be christened in Boston, where she will lie towed to receive her spars, rigging and in terior fittings, leaving Wilmington on (Sat urday. Tho following comparisons of the princi pal dimensions of the new candidate for the defense of tho America’s cup with three of the other big sloops will prove interesting to all: New May- Puri - Allan- Pris sloop. flower, tan. tic. cilia.

Strictly speaking she carries no out side ballast, as none of it is below her keel, hut her keel consists of steel plates three quarters of an inch thick, curved upward into a trough-like shape, and into that fifty tons of melted load wore pound. Besides that she will carry twenty tons of pig-lead as movable ballast to regulate her trim. Her centre-board is 80x22 feet, and as it will have a drop of about twenty feet, tl e yacht will draw about thirty feet with it down. Gen. Paine gave the builders the order for the sloop on April 5, and in just eighty-six days she was completed. Mr. Burgess says he is well satisfied with her, but lii-s love for the Mayflower is yet very strong, anil will probably remain s<> until the steam sloop takes first, place in a race with tho wooden yacht. In tho Volunteer the cutter Thistle will have a yacht very hard to lieat, and no American yachtsman believes that .(ho stranger can take the cun back to England. BROWN’S IKON lUTTEKS.
