This mornings Constitution prints the following interesting story about “the only lord that some people ever had ” even Beresford : A decidedly interesting chapter w added to the case of “Lord” Beresford yesterday, and it is a chapter that inay have important hearing upon the lord’s aspirations to freedom. In the governor's mail was a package of official documents which proved to be a copy of a New York indictment against Lascelles or Beresford that is hanging over his head, ancHhe affi lavit of a promi nent New York attorney, which gives some interesting facts con cerning his past. If the statements made are true, that career has been a decidedly checkered one. Not only has Las celles sown wild oats in large qan tities, but he is wanted by the po lio 1 authorities in more {daces than one. THE RICHARD K. FOX CAS E. Tw indictment, a certified copy "Mich is furnished by John F. toll, clerk of ths co irt of gen ifi!sessions, and also of the court ofoyer and terminer, New York city, charges that Walter S. Beres ford as guilty of grand larceny in the second degree. In giving details of the charge, the indictment gpes on to say that on the 3d of July, 1891, “with force and arms with intent to deprive an I d°fraud one Richard K. Fox, if the proper moneys, goods, chat tels and personal property herein after mentioned, and of the use and benefit thereof and to appro priate the same to his own use, •aid WalterS.

THE BAZAAR. papers of New York and Philadel phia a sensational and scurilous account of certain members of this family. Mr. King tells of his efforts to secure Beresford’s arrest through the cith detectives and some pri vate detectives whom he employed, ‘‘because said Lascelles was too shrewd and wily.” Subsequently however, Lascelles went to Albany, and there he was arrested. The penalty for such an offense is not to exceed five years in the penitentiary. This charge, so Mr. King says, has never been disposed of for the reason tnat Lascelles was at that time wanted in Rome, Ga., for forgery and Mr. King, be lieving that it was better that Las celles should serve the state Geor gia, co operated with the Georgia authorities in having him brought here. THE WIFE WANTS A DIVORCE. Mr. King goes on to say that he is well acquainted with Maud Las celles, the wife of the “lord;” that he saw her frequently during some weeks prior to the arrest in Albany and many times afterward during the next few months; that she was in great fear and terror lest she should suffer great harm or in jury from Lascelles if he should be angry with her or if she should take any steps to have him ar rested or detained in prison; that she repeatedly told deponent, who was her attorney in certain litiga tion in which she was involved, that she very much wished to ob tain a decree of divorce from her husband, but she feared taking any steps because she thought if he got out of prison he would be very an gry and would injure her. Furthermore, she was threatened with numerous suits inJGeorgia for debts contracted by him and for which his creditors claimed that she had made herself personally liable. She was in an extremely nervous condition and much brok en in health", and greatly desired to avoid the litigation which would be brought against her if she re sumed her residence in Georgia in order to obtain a decree of divorce there. Subsequently, when her hr sband had escaped from the penitentiary and had been discovered in a house of ill fame, she endeavored to ob tain evidence by which she could secure a divorce in the state of New York upon the grounds pre scribed by statute in that stat;*, and has now retained special attorneys for the purpose of obtaining a di vorce. It would, he says, be n groat hard ship upon her to hnVe him par doned, because thus far the attor neys have not been able to secure the evidence to prove adultery, and her suit for divorce will now have to be prosecuted only on the ground that her husbaad was con victed of a felony in Georgia. Mr. King throws other light on the divorce fia'ure. He says the marriage contract was entered in to in Pennsylvania, and by the laws of that State she resides there i a year before she can obtain a di vorce on the ground that her hus band was convicted of felony. She has already lived there several I months, and if he is all .wed to serve the State wgia a while ((•QXTTNVFD ON I AST f*A«I 1 THE HUSTLER OF HOME.

FRIDAY EVENING JUNE 7 1895 on returning from a trip in the suburbs to-day, said that while walking along the road he saw a cat some distance from a dwelling looking intently at somebhject.
