REGAINING STEWARD’S body.
Now in the Cathedral Crypt Re
markable Story of Its Recovery.
Front the Xew York Tribune.
Ex-Superintendent of Police, George TV.
Availing, in his book just issued and entitled
■•Recollections of a New York Chief of
police," extracts from which are published
elsewhere in the Tribune to-day, devotes a
chapter to the history of the robbery of the
grave of A. T. Stewart, and an account of
ihe effort to recover the body, and the final
success of the endeavor.
The narrative opens with the exclamation
“My God!” uttered by Frank Parker, the
resistant sexton of old St. Mark'a church,
“an hour after dawn one wet amt gloomy
Wednesday, in November, 1878,” when he
discovered that the body had been stolen.
Parker summoned Sexton Hauiill, who
hastened to Judge Hilton's house with the
news.
■ The vault has been robbed, sir: Mr.
Stewart's body has been taken away. lam
sorry.”
This was thirty months after the burial.
Judge Hilton called on Supt. Walling and
the famous search for the body was begun.
Inspectors Murarvand Dilks were put on the
cs'-e On the following morning a reward
of $25,000 was offered by Mr. Hilton at
\[rs. Stewart's direction for the return of
the body and for information which would
lend to the conviction of the guilty persons.
A liberal reward was offered even for infor
mation.
A lawyer name Gen. Patrick H. Jones,
of No. 150 Nassau street, called on Mr.
Availing, professing to have information
w hich he would impart on “proper encour
agement.'’ Judge Hilton, the writer says,
• declared that lie would never pay one cent
lor Mr. Stewart's bones unless they came
accompanied bv the thieves in irons.'’ Jones
next produced a coffin-plate said to have
been sent from Boston. The engraver re
cognized it as “the very one” which had
been on Mr. Stewart's coffin. Mr. Walling
went to Boston and found that the package
containing the plate had been left by “a
lady muffled up to her eyes,” but no further
information in that direction was obtained.
The robbers next sent a piece of paper that
exactly fitted a hole which bad been cut in
the velvet cover of the coffin. Sexton Ham
ill now has this and the coffin-plate remains
at Police Headquarters.
THU EXACT STORY TOLD FOR THE FIRST
TIME.
The exact story of the recovery of the
body Mr. Wailing next says he now tells
for the first time. It is set down as being
narrated by a gentleman “in a position to
know the facts.” Judge Hilton had re
mained firm in his determination not to
• c ompound a felony,” as he expressed it;
but Airs. Stewart's nights became almost
sleepless with anxiety.
“She was well-nigh driven insane.” Cor
respondence robbers was there
fore resumed, but lisf trade of the body or
the thieves was foftur.until feen. Jones
called at police headquarters. The writer
goes on:
“He brought with him a parcel and
showed me the contents. They were the
silver knobs and several of the handles be
longing to the coffin in which the body had
been buried. He also showed me some let
ters which he had received. They purpoi-ted
to have been written in Canada and were
signed by ‘Henry G. Romaine.’ With the
first letter a hundred-dollar bill was inclosed
ns a retainer for him to act as attorney for
the return of the body, upon the payment
of #250,000.”
A LETTER DESCRIBING THE BODY.
The letter purported to give an exact ac
count of the theft of the body at midnight
on Nov. <5, and its being taken in a grocer's
wagon to a graveyard at One-hundred and
Sixtieth street, whence it was tranjjorted
to Pit tsburg and thence to Canada, where
it was buried. The letter went on as follows :
"Except, rhat. the eyes have disappeared,
the flesh is as firm and the features as natu
ral as the day of the interment, and can
therefore be instantly identified. The in
closed piece of paper is exactly the size
of the piece of velvet taken from the cof
fin, while the small strip sent you will prove
to be of the same piece as that on the
coffin.” %
This letter explaining how Gen. Jones
had come in possession of the piece of
paper contained also suggestions relative
to the use of “personals” in a daily news
paper of this city by which to carry on ne
gotiations. The" coffin-plate was to be sent
in answer to a certain form of personal.
The personal was inserted, and the next an
swer, signed by “Romaine,” purported to
come from Boston.
FIRST TERMS OF COMPROMISE.
Another personal was inserted by Mr.
Jones, who again wrote to “Romaine,”
agreeing Anally to act as counsel and say
ing that Judge Hilton was anxious to re
cover the body. Then the following de
mand was made on “Romaine’s” part
through Jones:
•‘l. The amount to be paid shall be $200,-
000.
“2. The body will be delivered to your
self and Judge Hilton within twenty-five
miles of the city of Montreal, and no other
person shall be present.
“3. The money to.be placed in your hands
or under your control until Judge Hilton is
fully satisfied, when you will deliver it to
mv representative.
“4. Roth parties to maintain forever
an unbroken silence in regard to the trans
action.
"These are the first, last and only terms
which will ever receive attention.
"Having communicated the contents of
this letter to Judge Hilton you will await
his decision.”
Judge Hilton refused the terms and de
clined to have anything more to do with
•‘personals.” “Romaine” then ordered
Jones to close negotiations with Judge Hil
ton and open them with Mrs. Htewart.
No notice was taken of the request, but
Judge Hilton next made an offer of $25,000
for the body. “Romaine” “respectfully but
firmly declined” the offer. This closed the
correspondence.
MRS. STEWART OPENS NEGOTIATIONS.
Mr. Walling concludes the narrative as
follows:
"But the distracted widow and her rela
tives without the consent of Judge Hilton
opened negotiations on her own account.
I he lawyer was still the medium of com
munication with the ghouls. Foiled in their
first attempt to secure money, they had
become partly discouraged, aud now, in
stead of expecting $200,000, were willing to
dispose of tneir dreadful booty for half that
sum.
"Mrs. Stewart, after a wakeful night,
gave orders to have the offer accepted: but
her representatives obtained a reduction of
'he price to $20,000, which sum they agreed
to pay. The conditions of the delivery
were made quite as severe as those which
S' ''omnanird the negotiations for the return
'>f Charley Ross. The criminals declined to
lake any chances. They did not demand
'hat the money be flung from a flying train
in a leathern bag without any guarantee,
but the man with the money had to sur
lender himsglf absolutely into the hand
of the robbers, trusting to their ‘honor.’
"He was to leave New York city at 10
o'clock at night alone in a one-horse wagon
and drive into Westchester county along a
lonely road which the robbers indicated on
a map which they sent marked. ‘.Sometime
oefore morning,’ if the man was acting iu
good iuith and was not accompanied or fol
lowed by detectives, lie would bo met and
given further directions.”
MEETING THE ROBBERS AT MIDNIGHT.
\ young relative of Mrs. Stewart under
i ook the hazardous errand and drove out
into the country. Two or three times dur
ing the night ho became certain that he was
watched, hut it was 3o’clock when a masked
horseman rode up, gave the signal agreed
on and turned the buggy up a lonely lane.
Hie strange visitor here left him. directing
him to drive on. At the end of another
inde he became aware that another wagon
was blocking the way. He paused. A
masked man promptly appeared and
brought forward a lwg to his buggy,
laying: “Here where's the money r
' Where is the proof of identity:" asked
the messenger, a the bag containing the
mortal remains of A. T. brew art was lifted
into the bu.gy.
"Here*" gaiij holding up an ir
regular bit of velvet, and opening a bull's
eye lantern pon it with tt click. The place
was compared with a bi. of paper of the
same shape which the New Yorker hud
brought with him to this lonely scot.
“Come, hurry up I” was the command.
The messenger boy obeyed by producing
the money, and the'robbers retired a few
feet and counted it by the light of their
lantern. Then they moved off with their
vehicle, and the messenger of Mrs. Stewart
drove back the way he find come, glad to
escape from such company.
The next night a freight car went out to
Garden City containing nothing except a
trunk, and on it sat the man who had spent
the previous night in the loneliest part of
Westchester county. An empty coffin had
already been deposited in the Cathedral,
and at the dead of night two men
transferred the bones ‘to it from
the trunk. They then placed the cof
fin in an inaccessible vault beneath the
dome. And now, they sav, if any fiend
should ever again touch unbidden the vault
which holds the bones of the merchant mil
lionaire, the touch would release a hidden
spring which would shake the chime of clus
tered bells in the tower and send an instant
alarm throughout the sleeping village.
The relatives and friends of Mrs. Stewart,
who may lie supposed to know the facts of
the recovery of the body, decline to say
anything on the subject.
CHILI’S RICH WIDOW.
She Will Soon Paralyze the Nabobs of
New York.
A New York letter says that with the
exception of politics, weddings and occa
sional fashionable funerals, there is nothing
of exciting interest in town. We are noth
ing nowadays if not rich. Ho you perhaps
can imagine the intensity of emotion with
which the nobs and snobs of Gotham have
heard that the richest of all rich women is
soon to be among us. She is Seuora Isadora
Cousino, otherwise known as the “Countess
of Monte Cristo” of Santiago, Chili, com
pared with whose wealth the colossal for
tunes of Mrs. Hetty Green and certain other
American ladies sink into insignificance. /
Donna Consino is already making her ar
rangements for her visit here, which will lie
of considerable duration. She will open an
establishment that in point of magnificence
will surpass anything of its kind ever seen
in this city, and, if reports be true, will set
the society world in a whirl of excitement
when she gets settled. The house that Se
nora will occupy will be situated in a fash
ionable part of this city. But it has not yet
been selected. Near Santiago she has the
finest private park in the world with flower
gardens upon which fortunes have been
spent. These gardens will be stripped if
need be to supply the conservatory which
will be attached to Donna Consino’s New'
York mansion. The collection of orchids,
ferns and other rare plants and flowers that
will be here exhibited is intended to be the
finest that can be gathered. Donna Consino
will be accompanied by her two daughters,
Senorita Isadore and Senorita Pacifica, both
young ladies of more than ordinary attrac
tions, aside from the wealth they will in
herit. The story of the extent of this
Chilian lady's wealth reads like a page from
a fairy tale. It is doubtful if she herself
really knows the extent of her possessions.
Even before the death of the old don, her
husband, she was in her own right the
wealthiest woman in South America. He
managed his own estate and she hers, and it
is said that the woman was the better man
ager of the two. Upon the death of her
husband all his vast possessions in the way
of mines, railroads, manufactories and lands
passed into her hands, and she has since di
rected the affairs of this estate personally,
with more shrewdness and success than
most men could display under a similar bur
den.
Donna Consino has more wealth than any
person or corporation in Chili, except alone
the Catholic church. Exactly what her in
come is can’t be told. It is known to reach
several millions per annum. It is derived
from mines, railroads, manufactories, her
plantations and from commerce. She owns
a fleet of ships varying from a,OOO to 3,600
tons burdens, which trade between various
South American ports. From her coal mines
alone she realizes $BO,OOO per month.
The town of Lota she owns outright and
all of its 7,000 inhabitants are her depend
ents. Coronal, a town of about the same
size, is almost entirely owned by her, and
in these two towns alone she pays out
$130,000 in wages each month. At Lota
are her copper mines, and here, too, she has
a mansion that has cost over $1,000,000.
The architect and the skilled mechanics
were imported from Paris, as was the build
ing material, which Donna Consino con
veyed to Chili in her own ships.
Over $1,000,000 more was spent in im
proving the natural beauty of the grounds
surrounding the mansion. There are 300
acres in the private park spoken of alone.
There are artificial lakes, grottoes and flower
gardens, in which half a hundred skilled
gardeners, most of them from Scotland, are
constantly employed.
Donna Consino has a plantation near San
tiago, which is said to be the finest in South
America'. Here are her grain, orchards,
vine gardens, herds of cattle and flocks of
sheep. The vineyards supply the market of
Chili with sherry and claret. There is a
wine cellar here 500x100 feet in size, which
is always filled. There are 400 men em
ployed at all seasons on the plantation ami
1,000 peons are at Senora Consino’s eom-
raand at any time.
In the city of Santiago Donna Consino
has two residences. One is built in the
American the other in Spanish-American
style; the latter was decorated and fitted up
in Parisian style at an enormous cost. But
Donna Consino spends very little time in
either of these houses. Thirty miles outside
cf Santiago there is another large estate
also owned by the donna. Like most South
American men ami women the donna is in
tensely fond of sports, and especially of
horse racing. She has a splendid stud at
Santiago and she backs her horses right
royally. Should she conclude to become a
“plunger” on our race courses here she
might cause some of our big betters to
open their eyas. She is more likely, how
ever, to devote her attention to the pleasures
of society, and if she entertains half as
many here as at home, or during her recent
sojourn iu Paris, society circles will have
enough to talk about.
When in Chili Donna Consino frequently
fits up and decoratas one Of her vessels, in
vites a large party of young men and
women and all go upon a voyage of pleas
ure, lasting sometimes for weeks. On these
trips the guests are entertained in a princely
manner, regardless of expense. The reoep
tions and balls she gives from time to time
are upon the same magnificent scale. She
is particularly fond of the society of young
people and is always surrounded by them.
She is quick to form lilies and dislikes, and
is the jiossessor of very decided opinions.
The senora is still on the sunny side of , r io
and is a well-preserved woman of considera
ble charms. ,
Rhe comes of a Hpauish family and her
forefathers were among those enterprising
adventurers who came over with the con
querors of Peru aud Chili. Senora Consino
has a son of 24. and her daughters are aged
20 and 10 respectively. The son assists his
mother in the management of her estates
and the daughters are just finishing their
education. Donna Consino has magnificent
costumes, made for her by Worth, but, she
is somewhat careless in dress and cares but
little tor her fine feathers.
The advent of the lady hero will be await
ed with interest. That society will open its
arms to her seams certain, since she is
wealthy. With her wealth and her gener
osity she will undoubtedly soon become a
prominent figure in our social world.

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1887.
FROM A GIRL TO A BOY.
Kitty Russell's Queer Masquerade In
Chelsea.
i'Vom the Baltimore American.
The arrest of a young man in female at
tire at Chelsea on Friday afternoon, proves
to be one of the most remarkable cases of
female impersonation ever brought to light
in this country, and the disclosure has been
one of the greatest surprises to the supposed
“female's” friends. When arrested the
suiiposed young w oman gave her name as
“Kitty Russell,” but her identity was sus
pected, and the services of a physician being
called in by Chief of Police Sibley, the
matter was quickly decided, “Kitty” prov
ing to be a man. Yesterday morning Chief
Sibley had the voting man photo
graphed and afterwards rigged her
out in a bov’s suit. He was then
taken to a barber shop, where some
nine inches of hair was cut from his
head. Chief Sibley returned with his
charge to the station, and, after giving th
voting man some sound advice, allowed
him to depart in company with his foster
mother, a Mrs. Peter Cottrell, of 488 Com
mercial street, Boston. Considerable diffi
culty was experienced fitting the young
man out in clothing, as he measured but
eighteen inches around the w aist and wears
a No. 4 lady’s boot. The change in his
attire was by no means an improvement in
his personal apjiearance. A reporter called
at 488 Commercial street and found Peter
Cottrell and his wife comfortably quartered
on the third floor. Upon inquiring for the
“young man'’ the reporter was told that
“Kitty” was out, but would shortly return.
Mrs. Cottrell became very* communicative,
and both she and her husband
said they were perfectly thunder
struck by the revelations made by the police
of Chelsea. They had always looked upon
the young man as their daughter, and what
could have led “Kitty” to keep Yhe secret
all these years from them, was something
beyond their comprehension. Mrs. Cottrell,
in her conversation, always spoke of the
young man as “Kitty,” and as being of the
feminine gender, and told a remarkable
story. She said: “Some sixteen years ago
we lived out at Washington village, and for
neigbbors had a man named Morris, who
married a woman with one child, always
supposed to be a girl bv the neighbors. The
couple did not live happily to
gether. and the stepfather’s ill-usage of
the child was the cause of many a
quarrel between the pair. In the absence of
the mother one day. he was unmercifully
beating the child, when I stepped in and
took the little one to my tenement, and I
have been a mother to it ever since. The
child was ‘Kitty,’ and at that time was but
8 years of age. My husband taking a fancy
to the child, we brought it up, sent it to the
public schools in Washington village, and
until told by Chief Sibley yesterday, had
no more idea that ‘Kitty’ was an an than a
balie unborn. She lias always made this
her home. When she grew up I sent her
out to work, and when she left her situa
tion, she invariably returned to
us.’’ The woman's story was fully
substantiated by her husband, who,
if possible, was more astonished than his
good wife at the way in which they had
boen deceived. He said “Kitty” did not
like the new rig, as she felt like a duck out
of water. The reporter waited for some lit
tle time for “Miss Kitty” to put in an ap
pearance, and, being assured that she wonld
soon arrive, he took a stroll with Mr. Cot
trell around the block, and while standing
on the sidewalk the “Fair Maid,” again in
female attire, walked past and into the
house. The reporter followed, and “Kitty,”
after taking off her bonnet, told the follow
ing story:
“I was brought up by Mr. and Mi's. Cot
trell. They have been father and mother
to me in every respect. When I grew np 1
secured the place of maid of all work in a
family residing in Boston, and have filled
that position in various places ever since,
with the exception of twelve months. My
last place was in Springfield street, with a
Mrs. Morrill, living there off and on for the
past three years. On no occasion have I
been suspected of being a man. About five
years ago I was married to a man named
Frank King, who is now employed as a
driver on the South Boston horse railway.
We went to live in Mattapan. We bad
lived together about twelve months wlien
he began to abuse me, and I left him. He
has caused me more or less trouble ever
since.” On being asked what he intended
to do, Kitty said he should leave the State
as soon as he could secure the funds. It
seemed very little use to try and persuade
him to discard the female attire and adopt
that of his own sex.
THE MONKS OF DEATH.
Two Young Men Guillotined in France
for a Double Murder.
Prom the London Tablet.
A double execution has just taken place at
Aix. The two lads, Esposito, aged 22, and
Tegami, aged 19, were condemned to death
in the beginning of August for burglary
and a double murder, and on Tuesday suf
fered their sentence. Both died cynically
impenitent, cursing the chaplain, who en
deavored to move them to repentance, and
showing a spirit of hardened wickedness
truly revolting in such young men. They
asked for rum, and drank off a large glass
just as tbev were going out to execution,
and then lighted cigars and smoked them
as they walked up to the guillotine. They
were attended to the last by a confraternity
called the Blue Penitents, but popularly
known in Province as the Maine* dr la Mart.
They are not a religious confraternity,
although they were originally, leaving been
founded in the sixteenth century by a holy
priest, Matthieu Arnaud. canon of St. Sau
veur. He was moved with compassion for
the unfortunate convicts, who, when they
had suffered capital punishment, wore left
uuburied to lie devoured by the vultures or
other birds of prey, and entreated some
charitable persons to join in trying, first to
procure spiritual help for the poor creatures,
and then to obtain decent burial for them.
The call was answered, and some good
Christian gentlemen formed an association
to visit the condemned iu prison: they also
assisted them to meet death, and bought a
a grave for them, where they saw them de
cently interred. It is odd enough that so
purely Catholic and medimval an institution
as the so-called Moines de la Mort should
have survived every revolution, and be still
not only tolerated, but recognized by the
local authorities.
When the news of Tegami'sand Esposito’s
approaching execution was made known in
Aix, the gentlemen who Itelonged to the
confraternity assembled in the chapel iu
the Rue dußon Pasteur, and, having
been informed by their Secretary of the
coming tragedy, offered up prayers for the
condemned: tlien two antique lamps were
lighted and placed before the altar, to burn
there until all was over. From the day of
the condemnation until the day of the exe
cution, prayers were offered up for the con
demned, and a mass said once a week for
them. At the end of every religious exer
cise in their intention, the members go in
procession to the foot of the altar, reciting
hymn and prayer. The day and hour
of the execution are then notified to them
officially by the Attorney General of Aix.
Tlio Attorney General mote: “Monsieur
le President de la Confrerie des Penitents
blens\—i have the honor to inform you
that the capital execution of Esposito and
(I’ogami will take place to-morrow at 5:30 in
the morning. 1 know the services your
confraternity have rendered, and may still
render to justice. In inviting you to assist
at this execution I am therefore only con
forming to an ancient tradition.” The Blue
Penitents at once went to their chapel, anil
before the crucifix, surrounded by six
lighted candles, they recited the prayers
for the agonising, stopping at the words,
prafleiscere anima Christiana. Next
morning they were at the prison, accom
panied the condemned to the scaffold, saw
their bodies placed in the coffins, and fol
lowed them to their dishonored grave. A
great manr Free-Thinkers, lam assured,
belonged to tfd* confrjtKtutr.

THE PIANO
For Pure Singing Tone.
The American Art Journal of New York
thus speaks of Mrs. Cecilia S. P. Cary, of
Rochester, N r . who is now recognized as
one of the tF Pian'sts and most success
ful Teachers tn. „ America has produced:
“ill’s. Cary made flying visits to New
York, receiving valuable instruction from
S B. Mills, and drawing inspiration from
those two great tone masters, Thalberg and
Gottsehalk. The production of a pure
sinyiny tone had always been a study with
hhr, and, observing that these two great
pianists used only the Chickeriny Pianos ,
she made a thorough investigation, which
resulted in her purchasing the first Chick
ering Grand that went into Western New
York. Since that time Mrs. Cary has been
a firm and steadfast friend of that Piano
Forte, and it is a matter of conscience with
her to advise the use of these instruments
with her class, over 70 of whom possess
Chiokering Grands.”
A Word to the Wise. —A Piano which
is used and indorsed by such magnificent
artists a.s Thalberg, Gottsohalk. Rivi King,
Teresa Careno, Wm. IT. Sherwood and Mrs.
Cary is certainly a sale and desirable Piano
to buy. Over 74,000 Chiekerings have been
sold, and to-day, as always, the Chickerino
Pianos lead the world.
