STARTLING STORY WHICH

DlMppccre. and Bciergea In California
m a Mi-Uonalra Under the j.'aae
of William K. Hozera—Tbo Yacta.
Nrrw Yoi'.K, April 3.—[Special.] —The history
of William Kiunano, who now turns out ti bo tho
millionaire railroad director of tho California
railway under tho name of Willivm K. Rogers,
t nrpas %8 the conception of even tho moat reek-
I ere of novdtios. Now that his idouity has
Urn established, his lawyer, Colonel Hart, tells
thoMoryas follows:
"I first knew William Ki.ssane," said he, "in t ...
Cincinnati in lni9. He liccame interested!^ ho
with some others, in transporting provisions,
etc., to New York, and for this purpose the
6fcamer Martha WaHhington was used. The
fcteamer left Cincinnati on the night of Jsnnary
7th, lfc*J2, for New York, with a car^o in which
Kissane was interested, and which was insured.
Near Island No. 64, near Helena. Ark., the
sUumer waa found to ho on fire, aod she was
burned. One man, a dock hand, who was
drunk and could not swim, lost his life. At
tho instance of the insurance companies,
Kiesane, tho captain of the
steamer and others were indicted in Cincin
nati for conspiracy on au indictment
which will cover anything and everything.
Tho trial resulted in favor of tho defendants.
Bubfeeqacntly the insurance companies had all
of thess men indicted in Arkansas on the
charges of murder and arson. The records
9how that tho stato made a nolle prosequi on
tho charge of murder, which tho defense ob
jected to, whereupon, on motion of tho state,
Cummings and the others were dischargod on
the seen nation of murder.
The Martha Washington case bears a pi
culiarand interesting relation to tho note fo
gerlcs committed by Kissane. At the time of
tho forge rles he was In Cincinnati. I have
since asked him what in the world lod him to
that criminal act. His answer was this: "I
had made a large venture in sending goods to
New York In tho Martha Washington.
It was one which, if tho
steamer went through til right,
would have rosdo mo rich. I insured the cargo.
I had to raise money. I did it on the notes. I
intended to havo them mado good, and would
havo dono r.o, but for the burning of the
steamer." That ia Kissane’s explanation. It
docs not excuse the act, but he was only twen
ty years old. He was rash, and ran tho risk.
JHo did not get his iosiirance, and the
notes coming due disclosed what he had dous.
Ho wts ruined, and went to work on a farm.
He saved $500, and, to show his animus in the
mattor, ho put that in with all tha rest he
could scrape together, and paid $10,000 of the
$14,000 on the notes. He was tried and convict
ed, but he mado a stirring appeal to the judge,
aetting forth the facts aa 1 have statol, and he
got a light sentenoe. He served nino months
in Bing Bing, and there wu pardoned. It is
not (rue that Kissano wu pardonod, as stated
by 1 >arr and the Chemical bank, because ho
promised to testify for the prosecution in the
Martha Washington case. He was pardoned
on tho petition of influential peoplo. Ho has
led a perfectly straightforward life at
Bonoma, California, and his credit is such
that .Senator Hearst would today, I believe,
lean Rogcra half a million dollars; so would
half a dozen other woll known San Francisco
men.”
"Ilss General Darr offered to settle hU
claims against Mr. Rogersf ”
"liehas offer npon offer. You spoak of
claims. Ho has no claims on Mr. Kimno.
Kieaane nover had any shoe factory, or any
other kind of factory in Cincinnati. Ho was
a pork packer."
"But did not some buildings of his burn?"
“No, sir. Tho story is altogether without
foundation. There was no Are; there wsi no
factory. Dsrr will have abundant opportunity
to BobsUntiato his charges in court.
As to Darr's animus in his pursuit of Kis
sane, Mr. Hart said that would be shown in
due time. Borne wine producers of Sonoma
county had formod n company for
*ie manufacture of wiues, Mr. Hart
id, and Darr, who was taken in
i certain representations, was
finally induced to got out for $10,000. What
tha reason for that was, said Mr. Hart, may
dnly appear. Darr hod an idea, I presume,
that Rogers, who was in tho company, hod
been influential in getting him out, and there
fore began this prosecution."
Tho truo story, however, Is better told by
some of tho victim*.
“When all tho fa ’ti about Kissane come out,
tho papers will have a genuiuo son nation,’’ said
President GeorgoG. Williams, of tho Chemical
NaMonal bunk.
Tits history is oue of tbo most remarkable
ever heart. Ont o tho companion of tbo moat
noted criminals of this city and guilty of nu
merous crimes himsolf, he is at presont living
in luxury at Bau Francisco. Tho Chemical
lank will oppose tho niotiou of his counsel to
have thin old indirtmont against him dropped.
It Is preteuded that ho has mado good all the
money ho unlawfully obtained from the hank,
but that is not true,and is tbo very reason why
tho raso will not bo dropped. Some
months ago Kissano opened communication
with us ou the subjoct, aud triod to have us
withdraw our opposition. Until that time we
hud no idea of what had become of him. Now
we shall iusht ou tho return of the money due
“Kissane’s forgeries created a tremendous
finer in Now York. Ilia trial inodo more of a
m illation for these days than evoti the ’boodle’
aldrtnmu trials now. Thoro is no reason why
tho hank should lose anything through hmi,
ilnro ho bn.* been so prosperous."
Bahl bookkeeper Parsons, who has been cou
rted with the GhoniKAl bank for years: "We
recovered $10,500 of tho $1 M»70 that Kissane
got from tho lank. The balance of $ 1,000 with
roropouud interest, which wo claim, now
amounts to about $25,000. ne was very fool
ish not to have sottlod with tho bank,'for then
he might have avoided an expoaufto. But ho
was given an opportunity to make good the
less, but refused. Proper steps will be taken
to recover this aiuonnt.
GUI I T Y OF A KOOW AWD Ml'BDKR.
Klw*up's record is a very bod ono. He was
mixed up in tho affair of the burning of tho
Martha Washington in 1853. She was a large
Mississippi river boat, which Lyman Colo, who
wss known to all the old detectives of
this city, and Kissane got possession of in some
way. At Cincinnati they loaded her up with
bricks, chips aud worthless stutT in boxes and
bands, and got ilia cargo insured for a Urge
•mount, proicluting it was merchandise. At
Helena, Ark., the boat was set on fire. Al
though twenty lives were lost, the Washington
was not entirely destroyed, re that the
scheme was d^covered. Kissane and Clip

suimice companies, fonia of the best lawyers
of the country being engaged iu the c»«e.
They cscaperi on a technicality, and than th*

hia and the $4,Oh) th -t C -U- bad waa all tho

which KisKine is known iu S»o Francisco ”
Chief ‘ itk Sparka, of tho court of general
I Eissions, lidded these later ohaptora to Kissaao'a
history: "Last fall General Francis D.irr wrote
nnd asked me to scud him a record of Kissano'a
( rime and trial. J did as bo requested, and
the genual informed mo how ho came to dis
cover the identity of K insane. He said they
wore brought up together in a little Ohio town
near Cincinnati. The families of bosh hod oil
ai d randio factories, and a sharp rivalry exist
cd between them. One night tho Darr factory
was leveled to the ground by lire, aud as there
WHscnly a small insurance on it, the family
was rnlncd.
Kissane, who waa then a young man just
approaching manhood, wss suspected of having
started the fire, for be waa seen in that vicin
ity on tho night in question. He left his home
and commenced his career of crime. Darr
went to West I’olnt, was graduated, and was
a general in the federal army during tho war.
Later ho came to New York and was on gaged
in the oil business. A year or more ago
ived a flattering offer to go to Cali
fornia to act as chief engineer of a railway
there, and accepted. In this position it bc-
nttc necessary for General Darr to confer
frequently with tho directors of the com
pany. On one occasion the general wai str ick
by the likeness of one of the directors seated
opposite him at tbo table to Kissane, whom he
had not seen in years. Meeting him on the
street ono day, the general went up to him and
said: How aro you. 'Bill Kissane.'
"The director was very indignant at what
ho termed the insolenre of the eugineer. But
tho latter gave him to understand that he
know who he was and after that the accused
man shunned him at every opportunity.
"General Darr also charges that while Kis-
sane was living in Miasonn tho latter quarrel
ed with a man, whoso dead body was found,
nnd Kissane disappeared at tho same time
Kissane is said to have married in California
twenty years or more ago and has several
children. It was a reckless thing for Kissane
to send a lawyer bore to toko up that old in
dictment, for all the facta are bound to come
out now, and I don’t seo how an exposure can
be avoided."
HE 18 THE MAN.
An associated press dispatch tonight from
Ban Francisco, says:
There seems to be no doubt among those in posi
tion to know, that the statement published yester
day in a paper of this city regarding Kissane, and
telegraphed east last night, Is strictly correct, and
thut William Kissane and Colonel William K.
Rogers, a wealthy citizen of this state, living at
Bonomo, are one and the same person. This Tact

Who’s Just peeped In her looking glass.

E'er bent a beach or leafed a larch;
Or tinged one day with summer prime,
And fringed tho next with white frost rime: -

In tones like a wayside tavern bell,
The latest gossip, just from-Sheol!)

Or ttretig with corals bright, wood bines;
Or e’er inspired the mocking bird,
Whoso melody o'en now is board.
From yonder blossomed apple tree. I

Of fcucli a song in such an hour?;

And this sumo bird into it down,
Methlnks that all the Tempter’s wile
Had failed, fair Eve to then beguile.

The curse her children all have shared;
And her descendant* would not now?
Through yon broad fields thus “speed tho plow;"
Nor yonder maiden (uot “forlorn,")
Milked yonder cow, with the nimblo horn;

The terms on which man eats hia bread!
The farmers arc “done planting corn;’
Hoping to reap In Plenty's horn.

And grant their corn—o'coplous wlfeh!)

With loam aud leaves, “joanna" mixing
Denting the earth with many a crease,
To hold the seed of the precious tleece,
And this pro-sccdlng much I fear.

Of the hope tho farmer rest-* In it.

With blooms of gold and blooms of rose.

Frcnt the Boston Transcript.
There was one woman among the throng of
sfgbt-yeers at Forest Bills who was particularly do
riious of knowing whether any judges were passeu*
gers on the wrecked traiu.
“Judges? No, madam. Did you suppose an*
judges were on board?"
“Well, I didn't know but there were. There ard
a good many judges living In Dedham. Dedham’S
a great town for judges. You say that they were
mostly clerks cud shop girls who were killed?"
“Yes, hut their lives are Just as dear to them."
“Oh, I know It," answered Ihe woman, “Iknoff
it. But if we must have an accident, I think it is
well to have some distinguished person killed. It
makes other UiMingtiishcd people realize their rc«
sponhlbilitics, and tenches people that a man may
be celebrated and yet be liable, same as others. I
thought if a Judge or two were killed It might havo
a good effect ou the young."
She went xwny looking the disappointed philoso
pher in every Hue of her face.
