2 A DETKCTIVE’S STORIES. THE DIFFICULTY CORPORATIONS have in getting justice. Some Interesting Cases-The Cause of Ireland The Mar Who Dignifies it in This Country Late National League Arrivals. New York. Oct. B, —A large, thick-set man. whose dress and branng mfL wtol great prvwpertty. sat at a tanie in the M r ton House the other evr .Bg. He doesn’t look it. but lie is a detective, th- very an tithesis in apgiearan -e of the gaunt. k ~-n eyed. reticent indiv.dcai that the average w.-.ier Ynakm> i. • ty: aU detective f -s Btnry. He taikal freely, bat n-ver in-lu cr'-etly. “How about that case of an organize! here in New York to bi. kmail a prominent Boston man C was avksd of the detective. “Its a great 'as I .' sail be. •' There has been nothing much more important since the time tbat that '*.. ow g A his life insured with nearly every .mpany in New York, and then pretea-wsi to ae at a iittie country town near here H hai secured a corjao and left it m hi- reran at the bote!. It was regular! v certified that the corpse was that of the man who had taken the room, an 1 his relatives bore the ixidy away. Tbe fellow, however, was indiscreet enough when be had gone away to write to his gir!—it - this writing to his gir! that usually leads to the detection of a criminal —awl by im-an- of those letters we traced the man to Houtu America, where be now is. “The most troublesome cases detective* have, who work for corporations, are those known as accident suits. There are now pending more than 6,000 suits for damages against the elevated rood* of New York. Jlere is a sample: One day a laborer vra* going to work, and w hile passing under the Third avenue elevated road a <-arcless, work man on the latter line let a niece of timber fall and hit him on the head and shoulder. He got a scalp wound and a bruise of the shoulder, but sustained no serious injury A lawyer got hold of him and persuaded him to bring suit against tbe c unpany lor $30,000 damages. Contrary to the lawyer's instructions, he went out on the street to enjoy his leisure. His counselor found him and hustled him up into the garret over a saloon,and practically made him a prisoner. We found out where he wa* and I set out to get at him. I went into the saloon under b:s lodgings one night, drank vile whisky until along toward morning, pretended to be very drunk and was earned into an upper room directly under tiie apartment* occupied by the claimant. When my com panions of the sal' on liad left rue I climbed up a ladder, forced open a trap door and found the man 1 was after. I was disguised as a sea captain, and the man, not suspect ing my identity, told me how and why he had been made a prisoner. 1 ]>ervuaded him to descend with me down the fire escape, promising to take him to sea with me and pay him liberally. Once outside I con ducted him to the offices of the railroad company, arid there he was offered SSOO if he would sign a release from all claim against the company. He readily gave his signature to tbe document and w ent home happy. If he had brought suit he might have’gotten nearly all that was demanded in his action.” i.re , l - L it . ll l it: n Dul DOW Lilt* uw., persisted the listener. „ Wil get at that bv and by,” said the detective. T>-t me tell you more about ac cident suit* One night a man was going home along Fifty-second street and fell part way through the hatchway in front of a house owned by a woman of comparatively modest means. He went home and at once instituted proceedings for heavy damages, claiming that he had been totally iaralyzed in his lower limbs by tbe accident. I was employed by the defendant to ferret out the case. ’1 hired a physician to examine the man. He turned the battery on him and secured ample evidence that lie wa.* :-.mu laiing paralysis. I hired a room directly opp*siite that occupied by the alleged invalid and watched his movements with a field gias* I -aw him walking about his room and ay tertifi-'id at tb- trial. Thedoctor eorroiio rated my story, but tlie man had employed attendants to carry him into the court room and he acted his part so well that in spite of ail the evidence we adduced the plaintiff got $3,500 damages. I promised to prove to the ilefenilant that the suit was a fraud or to demand no pay for my services. In or der to convince her 1 arranged that a ser vant girl shouid go to work in apartments adjoining those occupied by the claimant, ribe discovered that two days after the trial he was able Pi walk down stairs and get his brer. When I nail proved this I accepted the stipulated fee for my s -i-viees." “Let me remind you that you haven't told me yet about the blackmailing case,” said the detective's listener. “Pause a moment,” responded the detec tive. “To prove to you that a corporation has no chance with the average jury, let ine tell you a case tliat once occured in Detroit. A man liad Ix-en struck by a Michigan Cen tral locomotive and injured. He brought suit, claiming that the engineer hail not sounded his bell as a warning while the en gineer averred that the bell hail been con stantly rung. The claimant won in the lower court and the case was taken up to a higher tribunal. The .Superintendent of the road then determined Pi try an experi ment. He boarded an engine going down the line through the city, and stood in the <ab with a disinterested witness. He rang the bell as fast as possible, and saw to it that the locomotive made only six miles an hour. Officers of the company were stationed at. several of the crossings and they summoned witnesses who hail seen the engine go by. Of a large number of these only three swore that the locomotive's bell wa* ringing. Home testified that the engine was going forty miles an hour and none of them fixed the rate of speed at less than fifteen miles an hour. They all, no doubt, intended to be sincere, • but the case illustrated the unreliability of the ordinary w itness against a corporation. The company offered this evidence, but it was defeated, nevertheless. You may not lie a friend of the corporations, but it may interest you to know that the Lake Shore ■road was defrauded of more than $350,000 in fraudulent claims for damages on ac count of the Ashtabula disaster. You know many of tbe laxlies were so completely con sumed there that not a truce was left of them. The false claimants set up fraudu lent claims, and the company, unable at the time Pi resist without occasioning too much public indignation, compromised the suits, but its claim agent discovered later that they were groundless. ” “Now please tell me about the black mailing case,” insisted the listener. The detective smiled, and said by wuv of evasion: “Do you know that New York is the most difficult city in the world for a detective to shadow a man' The elevated roails, for one thing, make it so. You start out to follow a man. You must lie careful not to let him see you. He takes a train on the L road, rides to the first station, and gets off Pi throw off his trail any supposed shallower. Ho waits until the next comes along, and then boards that. He may change thus three times on a journey, and if he wa s anybisly following his example, he is pretty sure that lie is being shadowed, and he skips out of sight. Try to follow him on Broadway, and he can give you the slip with the utmost ease as tie dodges in and out of the crowd, or mukes his way through side streets, only to emerge again on Broad way a block or two away. It is quite the custom to criticise the detective when n criminal gives him the slip. I remember the case of two eminent criminal lawyers In the West who haul seen a great deal of life. They were employed P> defend Mollie Matches, one of the most adroit pickpockets that, ever lived. They cleared him and Mollie gave them a dinner. At its conclusion the lawyers said: 'Matches, you arc pretty good at your business, but you couldn’t pick the pockets of two old timers like ourselves.’ Matches smiled, but did not meet their toasts with any declara tion One of the attorneys wore a valuable diamond duster pin oo bis shirt front. and the .tb-r had several bill* of large der. m.- naikms in hi- re a! pocket. As they were . about p> leave tbe dinnr room Mti 'hti a=- Pmisised toe f Tuier bv returning tbe pin. which be had removed from tbe lawyer - shirt front wtu> talking with kiru. and by handing lack to the latter in* bpis that h*- hai aict.--. ted fre :r. his insuic coat pock-t without giving the lawyer tbe least intima tion f w hat be was doing. ” "Bat b w aLxit tbe b-sckmaiiers V urged tbe listener. "Not ti..- evening, wait till some other ' evening, -aid tbe detective with an aggra vating <.i..e ts be arose and Mipixxi away aiterLavmg talked all around the subject without iivuiging a -ingle secret. Anos J. Ccmuxes. iT Any careful observer of New York life v*. . and I think, that the Irish cause -readily coming up m popular estimation, while the cause of the Anarchists is drop ping lower and lower towarlthe gutter. Whether the big lexim that the thieves, murderers and cotfaroai renegades of Euro pean anarchism ikiw in this country will receive wiien seven of their members are hanged in Chicago on Nov. 11 will succeed in lifting the tribe into prominence again is and tibtful. Two wi-kely different cause* led to the reversal of popular sentiment which is n .w going on. Eugene Kelly, the tanker. Is in the main responsible for the dignity which the Irisn question now maintains, w hile a dirty old bedstead in an East Hide tenement was the keystone of the fall of the Anarchist structure. The structure con sisted of bornljast, dirt, thievery, murder, beer, squalor arid fanaticism. Looking it over carefully, tbe old East Hide bedstead looms up a- about the only substantial and finite element of tbe entire “movement.” Herr Must s belligerent taik and spre-adeagle oratory unquestionably created a deep impression, but when he was found under the bed, the humor of the situation was too strong for even anarchism to bear. Mr. Eugene Kelly Is a man worth a great many million dollars and the head of an im portant down town bank. He is self made and as patriotic as Irishmen of keen intelli gence and strong business sagacity often are There have been numerous scandals aud no end of quarrels in the land league on this side of the w ater. as there have in vari ous other American branch's of Irish schemes. In every crisis Eugene Kelly has tnen appealed to, and his sturdy g‘ssl sense and business rapacity have enabled the jatnots to pull through. The influence of one eminent man of sincerity and broad comprehension of events is of inestimable value in a struggle like that of Ireland. Mr. Kelly lias gradually gathered substantial men around him. and is to-day the strongest arm of the whole system of Irish agitation in this country. Trie arrival of Sir Thomas Henry Grat ton Esmonde, Bart., and his fellow traveler, Arthur O'Connor, lias suddenly directed at tention to the new tactics of the Irish |>artv. These twi > men stand at the very head of the Parnell-Gladstone combination, and it may be taken for granted that th.-v could not Is- spared from Parliament at this time if it were not recognized on the other side that the American interests are paramount to all otfcers. Sir Thomas, or "Mr.'' R*- fnonde, as he prefers to be called, is a man of 20 vears. slenderly built, with a fair complexion and modest manner He dresses quietly and talks with a set jaw and tbougntful eyes. O’Connor is a b-footer, with an imtssung presence, a black beard and a deep bass voice. His manner is hearty amf direct. Both of these noted arrivals were leaning against the railing of the Hoffman House this morning, chatting quietly ami apparently unrecognized by the mob Even those most devoted of Irish patriots, the hack drivers, did not know them. Most people glam-ed at the men a second time, however, for there was no question of their distinction of liearing. Mr. O’Connor wa-> as mellow as a sailor on his first ashore. "I look forward,” he said, during a short talk, “with f'-eling of the utmost pleasure to our trip through the country, aside from the fact that we will be of assistance to the party on our pilgrimage, but will have an opportunity of seeing every section of the country from ocean to ocean. We begin in ti e extreme east and speak constant !y in the different cities until we arrive at San Fran- Cis- 'I “You will find some queer represen tatives of Ireland's cause in the smaller towns.” •‘Oh, we are quite prepared for that, and we have a full comprehension of how the lesser politicians have been gaining their own ends by trailing on Ireland’s griev anco*.. We hope to place the w hole question in anew light i—tore the American people, and that is the sole reason of our presence here. ” The importation of these two brilliant orators anil distinguished leaders of the Irish party will do more to lift the prospects of Ireland’s success through America than any other recent move of the part}-.

A DOZEN WEALTHY EDITORS. Tbe Way They Came Into Possession of Their Money. Nkw York. Oct. B.—All the chief editors of the leading daily papers of New York are men of vast wealth, and yet nearly every one of them is a hard worker in his business. The richest of them all is doubtless Mr. Bennett, of the Herald, who is still spoken of as “young Bennett,” though he is hastening toward the fiftieth year of his life, most of which is spent, in Europe. The one who lias the largest in come at this time is doubtless Mr. Pulitzer, of the Word, whose fortune is the result of four or five years of enterprise. The wealth of Mr. Dana, of the Sun, will be increased this year by the revenues of his new evening issue, Mr. Reid, of the Tribune, has grown to be a rich man during the past ten years from the income of his paper and of the immense building in which it is pub lished. Mr. Jones, of the Times, who has a lieutenant in the chair of editor, is a mil lionaire. Mr. Ottendorfer, of the Staats Zeitung, ranks among the richest editors of tbe city. Mr. Albert Pulitzer, of the Jour nal, has been raised to fortune by his paper within a very few years. Mr. Godkin, of the Post, is a rich man, and so is Mr. God win, of the Commercial Advertiser ; and so is Mr. Htone, of the Journal of Commerce ; and so is Mr. Field, of the Mail, who dele gates the duty of editor. It is probable that Mr. Dorsheimer, of the Star, is the least wealthy among the editors of important dailies in New York, but if his patxir should find the pathway of success only a brief lieriod of time will be needed to fill his coffers. One of these editors got his wealth by in heritance; four of them got theirs by mar riage, and the others “made it for them selves.” The most elderly of them are God win, Jones, Htone, Ottendorfer and Field; the youngest of them are the brothers Pulitzer, and among the gray beards are Dana, Reid, Bennett, Dorsheimer and God kin. Four of the editors here spoken of are foreign born, and tile other eight are native Americans. Mr. Dorsheimer is the largest of them in size, and Mr. Jones is the small est. AU of them are men of strong and striking faces, and several of them are positively handsome. It would doubt less raise jealousy in their ranks to divide which is the best looking in the eye of an artist, but any one who knows them all will at once pick out him who bears the closest resemblance to tiie Olym pian Jupiter. The only daily pa[x*r in town that ha* passed from its founder to his son is the Herald, and of the dozen here named, ten have been wrenched out of tiie hands that hold them at the close of tha war. All the chief daily editors now on the stage here have heirs to whom they expect to bequeath their papers, regardless of such vicissitude* as have overtaken their nr* b •rossors of recent times.
