Judge Fullerton appear. M the counsel of
tbo English holder, or confederatOBocuritlc*,
and no one questions the honesty of his action
in the matter. But there 1. a strong suspicion
thst a sharp game hss been played In connec
tion with the sudden and unexplained demand
for con federate bonds which obtained a few
years ago. According to this explanation, and It
la the most reasonable one yet offered, a few
abarper* In the north worked np a sensation
In England on the pomible value of confeder
ate securities. Ingenious stories appeared In
tbenewspepersonbothaldMof the water re
lative to th* existence of a largssum of money
which tho EuropMn agepts ot the confederacy
bad in hand at the closo of the war, and which
then carafolly concealed, was still within tbo
retch of th* creditors of tho dead government.
These nowspeper stories were backed up by
the work of shrewd agents in London. Finally
ir confederate securities was ad
vertised In New York, offers rapidly rising
from $2 to $15 and Anally to tlH
thousand. There offer* were
cabled to London, end instantly the
unsuspecting English speculator swallowed tha
halt. Agencies for the purchase of tbo bonds
wars established In New York with corres
pondents In Iondon. Orders poured In. In
almost every city and town In the south tho
. demand for confederate bonds was advertised.

long neglected bonds In the sura
faith that their valns would

"On two different occasions I ate dinner at
the cabin of old Bender, the Kenere (lend. On
the first occasion;the old man was away, and I
•aw only two women about tho place. Six
months later,when I called again, It WM about
11 o'clock In the forenoon. Then I saw old
Bender for the first time. I have heard him
described M a pleasant-faced old man whom
no one would suspect, but I tell yon the very
first look st him put me on my guard. For the
first time in a year 1 fait that my life wri in
danger. The same two slatternly women were
about tke house, and there wm a yreni
whom I took to bason Bchder’* His young
man disappeared goon after I arrived,
bnt whether ho hid In tha boom
or redo off aeroM tha prairlo I
never knew. Bender’s woman purchased
about $2 worth of notion* aad tha old man
dickered with me for an hour over a gold
watch. It sesma that he had but a small
stock of cash, but bo offered me personal prop-
erty in exchange. Ho had three or four sll*
ver watehc* all of which had been carried,
two or three revolver* two bosom pin* made
of lumps of pure gold, and three or four pairs
of valuable cuff button* We had nearly
effected an exchange when he suddenly de
cided te leave toe matter open until after din
ner.
"Months afterward, when the discoveries of
his crimes came out, I thought the matter over,
-and could remember just how nicoly he play
ed me. Without seeming to interrogate me
for Information, he asked how long a trip I
bad made, what succcm I had met with, who
1 waa, where I lived and whom I knew in
that locality. Th* old murderer wsaflguring
np the chances of my being missed In cam h*
nut an cad to me, and ha bad a curiosity to
know beforehand what tho horvost would be.
Wbilo I told yon that I did not like hit look*
and that I had a creepy foaling In hispresenoe,

"Dinner wm announced eoon after 12
o’clock. I took my pack with me Into tho
dining room, whore I found tho table set for
one. There were three rooms In the hone*
Tho front room wm a general sitting room
and offleo combined. Bender kept a sort of
tavern, you know, and travelers had thin front
room. The next room back wm tho dining
room and family room comblntd. Thera wm
a bedroom leading off. On th* walls of this
family room were a few old-fashioned prints
In old-fashioned framee, a shelf on whloh
stood n clock, and a few leant evidences of
women’s presence. Tko back room wm th*

the othrr doors to my right and loft,
while there wu no window behind me
Tho younger woman waa ta the
room, and she looked at me In a queer, strange
way as 1 upset the arrangements she had per
fected. Bender did not look Into tho room fur
two or three mlnnte* and then retired with
out aptaklng. A minute later he passed around
th* bouse and ontered the kitchen by tho
back door. While I could not see him, I hoard
him and ta* woman whisporlng together, and
I caught the word* as epoken by her:
“ T tell you did It himself!'"
"I could not catch a word from him, and

“ ‘Ob, don’t mind. I'm not aungry andehall

“Khe g*v~me one of the queerest look* I
ever got, first flushing up and then taming

get my back to the kitchen door. I suspected
It then; a few mouths later 1 had plenty of
horrible proofs. Before the meal ante finished
old Bender looked in from tbo kitchen door
and drew bark, and when I shoved away and
entered the offleo he wee not there and did not
ehow up for five minutes. When I went to
dinner n double-barrelled shotgun stood

BURR’S LAST CONQUEST.
From the New York Journal.
The New York papers recently contained
accounts of the final sale of th* remainder of
the'Jnmel property for some $350,000. , There
is a romance of which thb ealo b tho closing
chapter. The story of Mm* Jumelandher
estate at Fort Washington beggars the wildest
dresms of fancy.
It will bo a century, come six years, says the
Ban Francisco Argon*ut,since ayoung French
man named Btophen Jumel fled to a word com
manding a view of tho sea which anrronnde
the Island of Ban to Domingo, to escape tho
fory of the insorgent negroes. A passing vessel
saw hb tignal of dbtree* sent a boat for him
and carried Mm off to a placo of Mfoty. He
became a merchant In Nsw York, made a great
fortune and married a beautiful YankeegTrl of
more than common strength of character. With
her he retired to Barb to enjoy hb wealth, saw
her hecome a reigning hollo at tha court of tho
Beetoratlon, and led a Joyous life until some
unfoituutto investments curtailed hb re
sources.
It became necessary to give personal atten
tion to hb New York property; it wss tho wife
and not the husband who undertook thb task.
Mm* Jumel retained to thb country alone,
and so skilfully administered bar hneband’a
estate that in 1828 he joined her In New York
