THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1887,
THE CAFFAREL LIMOUZIN CASE.
The Story of the Downfall of a Proud
French Officer.
From the Sew York Tribune.
London, Oct. 10. —The Caffarel-Liinouzin
ease in Paris is a sad scandal. Mme.
Limouzin is a vulgar adventuress. She is
41 years of age—a little, yellow, wrinkled,
limping, humpbacked creature, with small,
piercing eyes, extreme, volubility of speech
and opnsiderable elegance of language. Last
year she lived in the Boulevard Beaumar
chais with a companion who called herself
Comtesse de Boissier, Baronno do Beaure
gard, or Marquise de Clemenea, and whose
real name is Henriette Boissy, a eocotte of
the commercial type, who used to keep a
house at Parts where you drank tea, played
baccarat and placed a louis under a
candlestick each time you took the
cards. Mme. Limouzin also has a husband,
ail adventurer of smaller calibre. This
trio carried on the business of an “influence
agency'’ for the benefit of persons desiring
employment in the ministries, promotions,
government contracts, etc. Well in view
in the draw iugroom were'visiting cards of
eminent i>olitical personages, on which were
written a few words, cards and writing
being forged if necessary. The dupes on
entering were struck by this niise en scene
and the first interview ended by a deposit
destined to grease tho palms of the Minis
ters, Senators, Deputies and other notabili
ties, with whom Mme. Limouzin professed
to be on the best of terms. In reality Mme.
Limouzin and the “Comtesse" passed their
time writing politicians—notably M. Thi
baudin and Gen. Boulanger—let
ters containing flattery, threats,
calumnies, offers of service
and pro|>usitions of a most compromising
character. Both M. Thibandin and Gen
Bouianger finally warned the trio, through
the police, to cease their manoeuvres. Then
Mme. Limouzin and the “Comtesse’’ quar
reled, and the former removed to a gor
geous suite of rooms in the Avenue Wagram,
where she continued her agency and entered
into relations with Gen. Caffarel, an officer,
who was overwhelmed with debts and had
no longer any sense of honor or decency.
The “Comtesse,” first of all, denounced her
former accomplice to the police; then fol
lowed complaints from various sources, and
at length the police proceeded to watch
Mme. Limouzin, thinking it was simply a
question of one of those innumerable Hash
agencies which abound in Paris, that para
dise of adventurers. The inquiry led further
than was expected. A detective sent to en
trap Mme. Limouzin was taken by her
to the Ministry of War and introduced to
Gen. Caffarel, to whom the detective
handed a sum of money in return for which,
it was understood, he would receive the
cross of the Legion of Honor. This sur
prising discovery brought matters to a
crisis. The Minister of War in the presence
of M. Rouvier interrogated Gen, Caffarel,
who confessed. Time was then implicitly
given him to blow his brains out, but he dill
not have the courage to take advantage of
this supreme privilege. He was arrested
and is now in prison with Mine. Limouzin.
The case will be u formidable washing of
dirty linen in the facts and personages in
volved. Even the son-in-law of President
Grevy, M. Daniel Wilson, is involved in
many of Mine. Limouzin’s tried tripotages.
With such a case as this before us, shall we
say that corruption in the republic is less
interesting than the depravity of the
empire?
WHO IS THAT REPORTER?
Capt. Black’s Strange Story About the
Bomb Throwing.
From the Sew York Times.
Chicago, Oct. 10.—A dispatch from Nor
folk, Ya., printed here this morning made
Gen. A. R. Parsons, brother of the con
demned Anarchist, say that lie had proof
that the bomb was thrown at the Hay
market by Pinkerton detectives. “Iu No
vember, 18X6,” says Gen. Parsons, “the
Hon. John Hays wrote me to send to Room
15, 79 Broadway, New York, lor informa
tion concerning my brother's case. Capt.
Black and I asked Mr. Louis F. Post to see
wha t was in it. Mr. Post was told by one
of the best lawyers in New York that a
newspaper man who had worked for the
New York Star, but more recently in Chi
cago, bad exhibited, while flushed with wine
at Delmonico’s, a large roll of bills, saying
that certain Chicago papers were paying
him well to stay away from Chicago be
cause lie alone bold evidence that would
clear the accused Anarchists of the bomb
throwing charges. The law yer told Mr. Post
that he saw the bills and heard the young
man’s statement.”
Capt. Black was asked to-day what ho bad
to sav on the subject.
“The statement is true. Mr. Post, of New
York city, investigated the matter and re
ported substantially what is stated in tho
dispatch.”
“ Will you produce the professional report
of Mr. Post?”
“I do not feel at liberty to do so without
first obtaining the consent of Mr. Post.”
“Who is the reporter referred to?”
“I cannot give you his name at present
nor that of the man who heard the reporter
make the statement in question. It would
not be proper for me to do so until I have
obtained Mr. Post’s permission. We never
got into communication with the reporter,
and ilo not know what iiis knowledge was.
Wo did, however, substantiate the fact that
there was such a reporter; that he was in
Chicago at the time the Limb was thrown;
that he left very soon afterward, and that
he did work for a time thereafter on the
New York Star.''
THE GREAT BOND FORGER.
Brock way is Free Again After Three
Years Imprisonment,
i William E. Brockway, the well-known
\ bond forger and counterfeiter, who, since
j March 5. IXB4, says the keening World, has
I tieen serving a sentence in Sing King for
! forgery in the second degree, was set free
\on Tuesday. The term of his imprisonment
i was tor five yen's, hut lie only served three
! years and seven months, the remaining sev
enteen iu"t!i ns huviug been deducted n0..:
! his sentence as commutation for gisid be
havior.
Brockway, who is (15 years old, is a man
of striking appearance on account of Ins
height and extensive thinness, bring H ’ et
1 inches tall. He has blue eyes, gray hair,
ami light complexion. He was born in Con
necticut and i- nii < ngrai er by trade.
It was in 1850 tbht lie first became a coun
terfeiter and torg-'T. and an inc unt of his
exploits since that date would tiii volumes,
lie has operated in uil the principal cities of
tile United States, and in order to make
himself more proficient in his art, he took u
course in chemistry at Yale College, and
afterward took up the trades of printing
ami electrotyping uud thoroughly mastered
them.
The most important criminal undertaking
in which Brockwii;. ever engaged wa. the
forging of N-X'-I.GM United HLutes govern
ment ii per cent, isiopou bonds, of the de- :
nomination > C st.(KK), and a number <>i
Treasury notes in isso, in 'smnection with i
Charles iSmythe and James B. Doyle. The ;
bonds and notes were found in Doyle's jns- !
session wbe i lie wan arrested in Cuicugo, j
ami he was sentenced to ten years’ itnpris- I
omneiit iu IXBI. Brockway and Hmyt.be i
were arrested ii Brooklyn by the United !
States authorities on Oct. 22, 1880, und j
Brock way being convicted on the evidence of !
Kill} tiic. was sentenced by the Unit'd K ates j
Dist rict Court to thirty years' imprison- J
meat. Brockway, however, made the offer
if sentence was suspended in this case that
he would deli ve 1 over to the authorities
nil the plate- for forging bonds and notes
and all the counterfeiting apparatus of
every kind which he bed in his possession,
or of u hich he knew, and also to disclose to
the authorities all schemes on foot io de
fraud the government. Upon his carrying
out this proposition to the satisfaction of
the court, Judge Benedict discharged him i
from custody with tue understanding that j
if he were ever detected in another coun- j
tericithig scheme against the govermne.it ‘
tbe suspended sentence would go into effect
immediately.
The particular crime for which he has
just t<een serving sentence was the forging
of a number of Morris and Essex railroad
bonds. He was arrested for this in New
York city on Nov. IU, 1883, pleaded guilty
and was sentenced March 5, 1884, to five
years’ imprisonment in King Sing.

Matters of Money and Management
About Various Lines.
Northern settlers are flocking to Florida.
South bound trams on the Savannah, Flori
da, and Western Railway go out loaded
every day.
The Central railroad pays, perhaps, the
largest tax of any railroad corporation in
Georgia, it being approximately between
$23,000 and $25,000. The tax for 1887, due
by the East Tennessee, Virginia and Geor
gia road, and paid Tuesday, amounted to
$17,800, and is, perhaps, the next largest
amount paid by a railroad on property
owned in Georgia.
Tennessee Central and Alabama.
This road will reach to Sheffield from
Trenton. Tenn., where it makes connection
with the Mobile and Ohio. At Milan it will
connect with the Illinois Central and Louis
ville and Nashville systems; and crossing
the river at some point in Decatur county,
will run through the western part of the
iron ore field north of Sheffield. Between
Trenton and Milan the road is about com
pleted, and it is expected that it will be in
full operation by Dec. 15. East from Milan
the right-of-way is being cleared. Its early
construction to Sheffield is considered fixed.
