A STRANGE INLUSTKY. Pretended Deaths to Get the Lite In surance Money. fro: ’ the .Veio Fort Sum. Within the few years anew and strange industry has -prang up among a certain class of our people, that of beating life insurances. It is comparatively easy to beat a fire insurance company, although fiicy are becoming sharper every year; but to get ahead of a life insurance company there must be a corpse as proof positive that a death has occurred. Only the keenest :a >-als or honest men drive. l to desperation ft,r the want of money attempt this swin dle and it is rare that a company has been beaten. I worked on two notable cases as a defective, and am certain that the details w jll interest the general reader. 4 bout tifteen years ago a merchant in an Ohio town, who was supposed to be a solid business an, took out a policy of SoG.UCO in a well-known eastern life insurance company. He was in the best of health ar d was readily passed by the examiner. Eighty da vs later he was dead. The local seent'called a- a matter of form, the doc tor in attendance certified to the death, and hosts of people attended the funeral. Tue remains were viewed by at least 500 people who bad known Mr. Harris, as we will call him in his lifetime, and the coffin was de posited on a slab in a vault for a week pre vious to burial. There oonld not have been the slightest cause for suspicion, ami it was not uutil several weeks after tiie money had been paid that anything came to the sur face. I was sent down to investigate, and the pointer I got was this: A servant girl in the doctor’s family—the doctor who had attended Mr. Harris—had seen the doctor have lots of money, and the family were making extravagant purchases. They fre frequently quarreled, and during cue of these quarrels the wife said: ‘ You dare not refuse mo monyl Don’t I knowhow you got it t Wouldn’t jv.a be sent to prison it it came out?” 1 got an interview with the girl, and she repeated all that and more. The doctor was poor before Mr. Harris’ death. After that he suddenly had plenty of money and was very extravagant. She did not connect the money' with the insurance, but had got it into her head that the doctor had killed and robbed someone. About this time it was found that Mr. Harris was heal over heels in debts, and that his wife re pudiated every obligation. I believed from the first: that I had a case, but I had to go slow. One hasty' move would set an alarm bed to ringing. I shadowed the doctor un til I found that he was flush. He was also mldic ed to drink, and after u little ina neuvring I got him to the point of his -ash. Ke claimed that he had about $5,000 in ready money. His practice scarcely brought him a living, and 1 felt sure that bis money had come from the life insur- ance. I called, as a real estate speculator, to offer the widow an investment. I found her to be very reserved and uncommunicative. She was nervous and ill at ease, aud I judged she had a fear of me. She did nut want any inrestmeuts, saving that she was thinking of going to a town in Indiana wi.ere -he hud relatives. The doctor had certified that Mr. Han i > died of rheuma tism of the heart. When I began to ques tion the wife about symptoms she was much confused, and made a poor show of answering iny questions. \V hen I left the bouse I knew that she was a party- to the conspiracy, She iad beo i told what to say and what to avoid saying, but the burden was proving very troublesome. My next move was to hunt out and interview people ■who had attended the funeraL 1 did not let my object be known, but reached my point in a round-about way. I soon ascer tained that a number of those who attended the funeral had been surprised at the change in the facial expression ot the de ceased. His whiskers hail been trimmed to a different shape, had more gray in them, and his face seemed fuller and broader. They would not have recognizee; him at first tight, but it was Mr. Harris, of course; who else could It be? I spent a full month in making cautious inquiries, aud 1 was then perfectly satisfied Mr. Harris was alive and iu hiding some where. It was not to be expected that he would write directly to ills wife, but I was satisfied that some agency bad been ap pointed before his death, and that she v-as intoned as to his movements. I could have had the body taken up, but how was 1 to pr ve that it was tuo b dy of s .me oi.e else! To unravel too case l must first find who the dad man was when be was alive. A body had been substituted. Where liwi it c me from? Mr. Harris bad been sick only two days. He bad died at 11 o'clock at night. Oil the opposite side of tae allay from bis barn was another in winch the coachman slept. I went there to asg bis opinion about horses, aud during my vi it the death of Mr. Harris was Lr< night up. ‘•That was a queer night,” he said in re ply. “About 10 o’iock at night someone drove up to his barn with a hor.-e and wagon aud opeued tho side door. 1 heard them fussing around and go. up, but when 1 got out they were driving down tho ahoy. My wife says it was death come to bring a c ilin for the dying man, andl sometmios wonder if I didn't dream it all.” I wa:; now satisfied that tho body was brought there by vehicle. If so, it must have have oniy a short d.s.ance. I got a team nu! drove out to the country house, aud from the moment X set eyes en tho superin tendent I knew no had s >mething to c n ceal. 1, therefore, weat right to the point by asking: “Vi hat was tho name of the subject you furnished to Dr. Lawton on Aug. 14 f’ He turned pale, aud began to tremble. “You know you oau be sent to state prison?” “Ail—all county houses do it,” he pro tested. If i hadn’t sid him, ths doctors Would have dug him up.” “What did you get?” “Ten dollars.” “h 1 ) ‘ u mean to tell mo that you only ?ot $lO out of the $30,000?” “Wnat *3o,ooo f’ “1 he Ihi i is insurance money.” “I did net even snow that Harris was in ‘ - Dr. LAwt >n wanted the body for a ‘•a ton, and I sol lit to him.

Ho took out premiums amounting to $15,000, and thirty days subsequently went in bathing in a river aud was drowned. There were ten witnesses to the tact that ho was seen to sink, having ap parently been taken w ith a cramp, and, though strict search had been made, the body had not been found. Fending the pay ment of the policy tho company sent me out to look over tbe ground. I found, first, that the young man was alone in the world, and that his character stood well. Secondly, the testimony of the ten wit nesses could not be put aside. It seemed as plain a case as one could ask for, and there was oniy one queer circumstance ab ut it. Ho had made a will a few day's previous to his death iu favor of another young man. about bis own age. Tho two were room mates, but I could not find that Wakeful, the policy holder, was under a .y gro it ob iigations to Scotten, who hud been made his heir. They simply passed for chums. Seotten’s exp.aoations were very smoky, and after my talk with him I was quite sa - isfled that there was a plan on foot to beat the company. The spot selected by tho bathers wns a portion of a deep mill pond near where water was taken into a flume to run a grist mill. This mill was owned by Scotten’s father, but munaged by hired belli. I had several of the boys go down with me and locate the spot whero Wakeful went down. It was 40 feet above the gates to the flume. Tho body had been dragged for in vain, aud the idea was that the current had car ried it over the dam and down to tiie lake. I ! ouifd upon quiet inquiry that \Vakeful was considered the besi swimmer and diver in tho neighborhood. I experimented a lit tle my.-elf, and although ouly a fair swim mer, I found that by diving at the spot where the young man went down I could remain under water almost to t e gales. I was perfectly satisfied now that I had the plan. Wakeful had reached aud passed under the gates, gone and wu the fiume, and then climbed out by' the beams of the miii. He had skipped out, to wait £ r tho money to be paid to Scotten, and then both were t > gooff together, i had this theory alldown line, when lo! a body was found ten miles down the river and identified at that of W akeful. I was willing to surrender, and I went about feeling that I deserved to be kicked. A strange feeiing drew me to the mill, however. If Wakeful had not worked the game ho could have done it, a <1 I somehow wanted to see the route he would take. 1 swam down the flume, dodged to the lett of tha water wheel, and caught a brace. Pulling myself up ou t ie timbers I walked along uutill found a pair of stairs and an opening iending to tho first story of the mill. It was after hours and the mill was closed. I had been standing quietly for a few minutes, when a side door which I had not noticed opened and young Scotten ap peared. He did not look about him at all, but started upstairs, aud 1 saw that ho had a parcel under his arm. 1 followed him to the garret of the mill, and there sat Wake ful as big as life. The plan was just .'hat I ha l surmised, although all but cue two conspirat rs were honest in their declara tions. Wakeful was to remain until the money .was paid a-.d then th ; a r were go ing to Europe. In-tea iof going there they weat to prison for live years apiece. A" Fatal Affray. Winchester, Va., May 29.—James Swartz, a farmer of this cou ty, on Satur day beat and kicked George Ambrose a farmer of Berkely county, 'Vest Virginia, so badlay that Ambrose died to-day of his injuries. Both men were about 50 years old. Tha aiSray occurred at Ambrose’s home. Scrofula is a form of blood poison which descends from parent to child; sometimes it omits one generation to appear in the next. It is a taint which mu-t be eradicated from the system before a cure can be made. Swift’s Specific drives out the virus through pores of the skin, and thUR relieves the bio id of tho poison. Mercury and potash mixtures drv up the sores of scrofula and other blood diseases, only to bottle up the p i-ou in toe system, which, of course, is certain to break out at some weak spot, as the throat, nusal organs and luugs. Judging from what I have seen I regard Swift’s Specific tho king patent medicine of the day. I know several persons who hare been permanently cured of serious cases of blood poison by its use after prolonged and unsuccessful use of various other remedies. James C.
