Nathan Makes an Acquaintance.
‘ The industrious little tailor was sew-
ing away in his shop and meditating
on life in general when the door was
darkened by a shadow. The tailor
looked up and found the stranger to
be a man, who proceeded to unreel
quite a section of ad'abillty. all of
which. of course. was part of his plan
to get into Edison's confidence. in
due course of time, he put Nathan next
to the secret that he owned a big jew-
elry store in Hartford and was down
here looking for a jewelry store to
purchase. The city appeared to be
rather quiet for him. but he would
like to get a store if he could get one
right for his brother-in-law.
Puts Up for the Night.
The stranger. Nathan says. was ‘i'ld-
dish. and talked with him in his famll‘
iar tongue. lie had no shadow of
doubt at the time that the man was
trite gold. 80 well acquainted did they
got. in fact. that“ the‘upshot of their
meeting was that Nathan took him to
his home in Day street for the night.
The next morning. the stranger wsnb
ed to pay Nathan for his keep and text
dercd him a. dollar. Nathan protested
that this was too much. but was finally
prevailed upon to accept the amount.
the visitor declaring that he had been
as well treated as if he had gone to a
hotel.
They Meet a Stranger.
The stranger also accompanied Na~
than to his shop the following morn-
ing and they renevved their conversa-
tion about buying a jewelry store. The
big prosperous Hartford jeweler had
heard that H. S. Road's jewelry store
ln'South Main street was for sale and
he was so magnaninlous as to offer Na-
than a fat commission if he would no-
gotiate the sale. Nathan thought this
was easy money, so he bit beautifully.
The two started out, but their jour-
ney was interrupted. Hardly had they
reached the wcst end of the Washing-
ton street bridge before they met a
strangcr who wanted directions to a
NEW“ shop.
‘ The Game Progress“:
Nathan's friend and lb“. other man to
all appearances had never met before.
The stranger N0. 2 tried to get. into
conversation with Nathan. lultdhe late,
for did not speak the msu‘ a language.“ -
Polish Stranger No.1 volunteered to
be the intermediary. it was gradually
unfolded that the stranger whom this
two met had some jewelry. ~lle wanted
Nathan to let him have some money
on them. Nathan declined. He did not
want to get in any trouble. ThOfb the
Hartford jeweler explained that he
would take the goods. ‘He was not
afraid of any trouble. The man with
the jewelry wanted $800 at first. hilt
finely came down to also. The sup
posed Hartford man had $85 and sug-
gested that if Nathan would advance
the remaining 3355. he would take the
jewelry.
Nathtn’a Fatal Vision.
Now. Nathan had still a vision of
the commission he was going to make
on the jewelry store sale. so he came
up in great shape. He didn't have the
money with him. but he went to his
savings bank and drew it out. in
keeping with the whole game's secrecy.
the man with the jewelry explained
that he wanted to go to New York and
thence to Chicago. He uttered Nathan
310 to go with him to New York and
purchase the ticket for Chicago. be-
cause he did not understand English.
Here Nathan balked just a little. He
said he could not close up his shop.
The jewelry was handed over to Edi-
son and the newest met stranger made
his getaway. Just a little later. the
other stranger also explained that he
had an errand and would be back in
half an hour.
Nathan Sees thePfllcs.
Nathan got to thinking a little later
and‘aftor a time it dawned on him
that he had been duped. when'a furth-
er examination of the jewelry was
made its made a call a the police

slain at Crescent City, last Sunday
night. were simple. and did not include
the presence of the widow, who, with
Dr. W. 14. Miller, the slayer, is in jail

Up to inst night. is is said, Mrs.
Saylcr had not shed a tour, but she
bloke down when she received a call
from Thomas Baylor, a bmthcr‘iu-law.
who lives in Chicago. According to
her visitors. she wept bitterly. and ex-
pressed a desire to attend the funeral
today. Her request was refused by
Shcriif Hollies.
‘Foeliug against Mrs. Baylor and Dr.
Miller in Crescent City, while un-
friendly, has lost its 'iolent aspect.
and it would be foolish run the risk
of reawakening it by the sight of the
woman." said the sheriff today.
it was at the request of tile dece-
dent’s brothers, Willis and Thomas.
that no public funeral was held. Close
friends only were admitted to the SI!-
lcr home at Crescent City. Golds, the
banker's only child. was the principal
mourner. it was for her. it is said,
by the decedent's friends, that Mr.
Sayler maintained silence over the al-
tentions of Dr. Miller to Mrs. Baylor.
The intimacy between these two ls
said to have bad its first growth ill
their mutual love for hunting.
"That's what brought them loncillcl'
111 the first place." said Willis Saylcr
today. “Mrs. Skyler was passionately
fond of hunting, while her husband.
my brother. had no use for it. Dr. Mil-
ler. on the other hand, liked nothing
better than to range the fields and
woods with a fowllng piece or ride.
Mrs. Sayler was often his companion
on these expeditions."
it is believed that the only possible
piece of evidence in the case which re-
mains to be investigated is the sealed
packet said to be in Mr Saylers pri
vato strong box in the vault of the lit-
tle bank at Cmscent City. During the
last two years it was the habit of Mr.
Sayler, when leaving the city, to leave
sealed instructions in this box, with ill-
struclions to W. R. Nightingale; cash-
ier of the bank, to opcll only in case of
death. The packet left sometime ago.

wife. of Dr, Miller. now being held
on a charge of killing Vice-President
J. H. Sayler. of the First National Bank
of Crescent City, lll.. last Sunday
night. told her story of the affair to
Thc Associated Press today.
“i have known of my husband's in.
timacy with this woman for two years.
and. like Mr. Sayier. rather than let
the world put shame on my boy. I kept
silent. I pleaded with this woman to
let my husband return to his family
and was laughed at for my trouble.
For two years Mrs. Sayier ran after
my husband and turned him away
from his family. The couple went
away together on several trips. telling
me of their experiences afterwards.
Two years ago. or shortly after we
removed from South Sharon. P9... to
Crescent City. my husband one day
told me he wanted me to have Mr.
and Mrs. Sayler call at our home. I
trust Mrs. Sayier. For months my bus
band insisted that i call upon Mrs.
Sayler even after I had been warned
that my domestic happiness was in
jeopardy. Rather than let the friends
we had made in Crescent City see that
I was even cognlssnt of my husband's
fondness for this woman. ”out up my
social duties with her.
"However, after a year of hypocrisy
on both my part and this woman's
part i told her that the scandal had
gone far enough and that I would tell
the world what I knew. i love. my
husband still. and stand ready to go
to him in his trouble. l wired the
shsrlfl at Wall“: coda! that I stood
ready to coins at once if needed. "

Swsrms of Them About This Section
of the Stats Last Evening.
The mosquitoes at lloton Point. and
in fact. all along the seashore. were
so thick that sitting on verandas or
other outdoor places became almost
an impossibility last night.
The orchestra at Rotdn Point had
the time of their lives when they tried
to play in the midst of a swarm of
the little pests. The ’cello player had
newspapers tied around his ankles to
protect himself, and in the midst of
the. Hungarian Rhapsody the piano
player would pause to give a side
swipe at a bunch on his neck.
The flute player liliil most of the
trouble, however. “(lot-t but he) was
sore." Why. when he was in the
midst of a good long run up the scale
and down again you could see mosqui-
toes shoot out of the end of the flute
in clouds. The violin player tried to
scratch his bites with.‘a penkniic. but
only succeeded in cutting a couple of
strings.
The limit was reached. however.
when the following incident happened.
Eddie Learnsn. the singer. vouches for
the truth of this story: Eddie says
that as he was singing a song three
mosquitles. which must have been of
some considerable size—as .big as
eagles. Eddie said—snatched the inn-
sic out of his hands and flew away
humming “Over on the Jersey Side."
