the Burglar Identical.
LILACS LED TO HIS CAPTURE
Real Occurrences Which Surpass the Sup-
posititions Doings of Jim, the Pen-
man—Chafl‘ey, the “Friend,” Now
Accuses Mrs. Barrett.
' NEW YORK, Nov. 16.—-—The mystery sur-
rounding the dual life of William Barrett,
who for nearly 20 years kept his wife in
luxury in this city while he carried on a
career of desperate crime in Massachu—
setts, is gradually being cleared up, though
there are still many, points upon which the
police have been unable to throw any light.
The facts that have been brought out
have been mainly learned from Chafiey or
Barrett, whose animosity toward each
other has now reached such a point that
each’ is trying his utmost to implicate the
other in all the crimes possible.
As it stands now, Chafi‘ey is in jail un-
der $25,000 bonds, charged with burglary
and receiving stolen property. It is like-
ly that the first charge will fall through,
as the evidence in the possession of the po—
lice is very Weak. '
Chafley protests his innocence of the
latter charge, and says he did not know
. the goods which he received from Barrett
Were stolen. Barrett says this is a lie, and
that Chafiey had full knowledge of the
way in which the property was secured,
andh many cases assisted in removing
the marks of identification from silver
ware and other valuable plate.
Chaffeyds doing his utmost to show
that Mrs. Barrett had full knowledge of
the crimes of her husband, and that she
was aware of the source of the money
which he sent her. By this he hopes to ex—
tricate himself from his difficulty.
His story in this regard is not substanti-
ated, and people in this city, who knew
' Mrs. Barrett while she lived inthe Dun-
ham apartment house at 353 West Fifty-
eighth street, place no credence whatever
in his statements.
Mrs. Barrett lived in the flat for eight
years, and was well known in the neigh-
borhood. Even now there are few people
near there who cannot remember her and
her han deome horses, though none of them
will admit that they were ever on friend-
ly terms.
Barrett’s Weekly Visits.
Perhaps this is because they do not care
to be associated in any way with the wife
of a burglar and convicted murderer. Per-
haps it is because Mrs. Barrett kept very
much to herself while in New York and
made comparatively few friends.
Barrett was. seldom seen in the city,
and his comings and goings were some-
what mysterious. Buthe visited his wife
and son every week, and usually remained
with them for 24 hours. Sometimes he
would be in the city for days.
One peculiar feature which was noticed
about his visits and which was unexplain-
ed until his arrest in Weston, Mass, was
the fact that he never arrived in or left the
city during daylight. He always took a
train from Boston which landed him at
the Grand Central depot after dark.
A carriage would be in waiting for him,
and hurrying into this Barrett would be
driven to his wife’s home in Fifty-eighth
street.
His departure from the city would be
made in much the same way. Early in
the morning, usually before sunrise, he
Would reach the depot in a closed carriage.
From this he would hurry to the train. It
is now believed that he feared recognition
by the police who are nearly always watch-
ing the incoming and outgoing trains.
Barrett was always richly but quietly
dressed, and when in this city looked like
a prosperous business man. He Was pas-
sionately fond of flowers, and his wife,
knowing this, always had her home pro-
fusely decorated with them, spending
hundreds of dollars every month with the
florists in the vicinity of her home.
Strangely enough, it was this love of
flowers that had much to do with Barrett’s
arrest and his subsequent murder of J amcs
Forrar while trying to 'escapo ‘from his
captors. _ .
Identified Through Lilacs.
When Barrett entered the Farrar resi-
dence in Weston, Mass, the lilac bushes
were just in bloom. Like many other
semirural places, the Farrar grounds con-
tained dozens of bushes. Barrett was at-
tracted by these, and as soon as he entered
the ground he gathered a big bunch of the
blossoms.
In doing this he tore the bushes some-
what, in some places long strips of the
tender bark being pulled away,
Before entering thc house he laid the“
bunch of flowors near the gate, and when
the alarm was given and he fled he stop-
ped long enough to pick up the b ossoms
which he had gathered. -.
His pursuers found a spray or two near
the gate, and on examining the bushes
say that dozens of twigs had been broken»
off. Following the tracks left in the soft
earth by the fugitive, they finally came
upon Barrett, who was warming himself
by a fire he had built in the woods 3 mile
or more from the Farrar house. By his
side lay the bunch of lilacs which he had
gathered. ’ ' .
After he had resisted arrest and had
killed arrar the lilacs~ were taken as evi-
dence t at he was the midnight burglar.
A careful examination of the flowers found
'With Barrett was made, and thcylwere
Identified as having been torn from the
bushes on the Farrar homestead. The torn
bark upon the twigs was found to fit the
mutilated bushes perfectly. This fact was
sworn to by a dozen witnesses and had
much weight with the jury which found
the accused man guilty of murder and
sent him to. prison for life. .
For more than eight years Barrett. kept
up his New York home, to which he paid
his Weekly visits. The flat which he so-
cured for his wife was an elegant one, and
cost him $1, 200 a year.
Mrs. Barrett was fond of making pres-
ents to her friends and was extremely gen-
erous. Nearly all her presents were of dia-
mgndg, anda‘ peculiarity‘wag 111g; jgall
c‘ases the étoiieé were unéet. She'éxplfiinmn
this by saying that her husband was an
expert in the matter of judging diamonds
and never missed an opportunity to buy a.
fine stone. He always boughtthem un-
set, sho said, and let her have them
mounted to suit her taste.
' Had Plenty of Diamonds.
Her supply of diamonds seemed 130/ be
endless, and while she gave many away
she had jewels of her own that made her
the envy of her neighbors.
The police now believe that while he
was carrying on his long career of crime
Barrett stole jewels and plate valued at
$500,000. Among the articles recovered
from Chafley, and which are known to
have been stolen by Barrett, are pieces of
plate secured in 38 different burglaries.
In each one of these goods valued at
from $500 to $520,000 were taken. In some
instances Barrett’s connection with the
crime is shown only by the finding of a
spoon or some other trifling piece of jew-
elry.
The police argue that if the odds and
ends of Barrett’s boot-y, which they now
have, is worth $80,000, the main portion
of it must have been worth a huge sum.
As a consequence they are inclined to hold
him responsible for all the mysterious
robberies which at times during the last
20 years have puzzled them so completely.
During all the time that he carried on
his system of robbery Barrett lived in
rooms at 2 Eliot street, Boston. These
were furnished in a luxurious and artistic
manner, though none of the goods were
stolen, all having been bought. .
Among a certain class Barrett passed
as ahorse dealer,‘and accounted for his
frequent trips into the country by saying
he was buying animals. To others he rep-
resented himself as a' dealer in old gold
and silver, and was thus able to sell large
quantities of the metals to jewelers with—
out arousing suspicion. '
BARGAINS IN HANGING.
“Teller the Terror,” Makes a Job Lot Offer
to the Governor of Kansas.
TOPEK'A, Nov. 16.-—Among Governor
Morrill's letters was one from Creede,
0010., signed “Cyrus H. lleyrie, alias
Teller tho Terror, ” saying the author had
read in the flewspapors that the governor
proposed to order all the prisoners in the
penitentiary to be hanged, and he wanted
the job at £6.10 per capita for men and 8'5
for women. He also makes a job lot prop-
osition as follows:
”Mining is dead. There is no work for
ahardworking man. Am hard up and
will take the contract to hang all in the
penitentiary and all the state officials—
bargain—for 81,000. Telegraph me at
Creedc.”
The newspaper story referred to was the
account of the petition presented by the
citizens of Kinsley last week asking the
governor to order to be hanged the two
men who murdered Mayor Marsh 3. year
ago, which the governor, under the
law, has the power to do. In all there are
46 “death” prisoners in the penitentiary
who may be hanged upon the governor’s
orders.
Schools In Korea.
WASHINGTON, Nov. iii—Minister Sill
has reported to the state department a
royal decree promulgated in Korea for the
establishment of a system of government
public and private schools. In the schools,
says the decree, “children shall be taught-
in order that the people may be educated,
that a general knowledge may be diffused
and that men of ability'may be raised up
to fill the various professions.”

A Concession to Germany.
‘ LONDON, Nov. 16.—A dispatch from
Shanghai says it is positively stated that
China has agreed that Germany shall oc-
cupy one of the islands near the entrance
to the seaport of Amoy for the purpose of
establishing a naval yard and a cooling
station. It is feared this step will be fol-
lowed by complications, as France and
Russia will seek similar privileges.

MONEY MARKET Is STEADY. .
Wheat Is Still the Perplexing Element to
Everybody—The Output of Pig Iron.
The Cotton Crop Report—The
Failures of the Week.
NEW YORK, Nov. 16.—R. G. Dun &.
Do.’s weekly review of trade says:
The scare about gold exports had no
Jaal significance and although 82, 250,000
more will go out, the stock market has
been recovering. There was and is a sub-
stantial cause of difficulty in the fact that
exports of products have been too small to
meet the greatly increased imports of
merchandise. ‘ The collapse of Kafiir spec-
ulations abroad has forced many to realize
on Americans held,-and the impression
that our government may have to borrow
again also operates to our disadvantage.
But there is no local disturbance of money
markets, stocks are over 80 cents per share
stronger than a week ago, commercial
loans are not large, and the demand for
moving crops has been remarkably small,
so that on the whole the money market
has shown very unusual strength and
steadiness for the fall season.
The government monthly crop report
has caused, as usual, rather more uncer—
tainty as to its interpretation than pre-
viously existed as to crops. The cotton
statement, lacking account of acreage on
which it is based, was of only speculative
value, and the mere rumor that Mr. Neill
had reduced his estimate of the crop actu-
ally weighed moro than the official esti-
mate. Receipts from plantations, 25 per
cent less than last year, if of value, Would
indicate a crop over 7,300,000 bales, but
organization to hold back the crop renders
the comparison of less use. The bottom
fact is that even a smaller crop than any-
body cxpects, with the 3,000,000 bales
carried over, will assuredly prevent any
famine in cotton. Meanwhile the exports
decrease 36 per cent in quantity, but, ow-
ing to higher prices, only 9.5 per cent in
value.
The Wheat Puzzle.
Wheat perplexes the oldest inhabitant.
There is really little reason to expect a
yield larger than last year’s, but western
receipts, 8,202,864 bushels against 4,026,-
639 last year, do not mean scarcity of
wheat. Probably it is trite that "the at-
tempt to induce farmers to keep back
their wheat in July has ended, as usual,
in much bigger sales at lower prices in
November, and prices have now declined
so far that, for. the first time in many
months, Atlantic exports exceed those of
a year ago, having been for two weeks, .-
flour included, 3, 260, 384 bushels against
3,193,111 last year. The decline, nearly 1
cent, is not much, but does not mean con-
fidence in renewed advance. Corn is
scarcely lowor. but without the aid of gov-
ernment all know that the supply will
largely exceed all home and foreign de-
mands. -
The output of pig =iron, Nov. 1, was
217, 306 tons Weekly, about 10 per cent
larger than ever before, and continuance
of the same production for six weeks more
would make the'half year's output 5, 350,-
000 tens or more, about 450,000 tons
greater than in any other half year. The
startling fact is that the demand for prod-
ucts of iron and steel falls off, notwith-
standing thc increase in output of pig,
and, though only a few concerns have
closed or reduced work or wages on ac-
count of: lack of orders, prices are sink-
ing, having declined 2.7 per cent for the
week and 6.4 per cent from the highest
point. Bessemer pig, billets, grey forge,
bar, tank steel plates, structural angles
and wire nails have all sold lower within
the past week, though quotations are kept
up .as 'far as possible by associations. Mi-
nor metals are on the whole loWer, though
tin has stiflenod a little, but lako copper
sold at 11,14 cents and is Weak, and lead is
decidedly weak on account of the con-
sumption of foreign‘ and is quoted at‘
3.17% cents.
Various Industries.
Shipments of boots and shoes, according
to The Shoe, and Leather Reporter, are
58,818 cases for the week against 72,452
last year. Because buyers expect lower
prices many of the works have closed and
manufacturers are offering considers blo re-
ductions. The woolen manufacture has to
meet this year with two difficulties, the
remarkable demand for Clay worsteds,
which has_encouraged an advance of 10
per cent in price, and the heavy imports
of woolen goods, which have amounted
for nine months of the current year to
58, 456, 402‘ pounds against ‘ 12,907,068
last year and 30,398,465 in the same-v
months of 1892. But sales of wool
continue large, for two weeks of N ovem-
ber 12,192,950 pounds against 12,289,600
in 1892, in spite of the fact that part of
the works are closed or working only part
force. The cotton mills are running Well
and find a. very good demand for products,
though it is not of late fully sustained,
and are beginning to consider the possi-
bility that raw cotton may not be as high
hereafter. Print cloths have declined a
shade. . '
The volume of damestic trade appears
from clearing house exchanges 17 per cent
larger 'than last year, but 11.4 per cent
smaller than in 1892, and it is the more
noteworthy because in some departments
the movement has been unusually large.
The earnings of railroads, 2. 6 per cent
greater than last year for the first week of
November and 2.9 per cent less than in
1892, are better than for the previous four
weeks, andtonnage movements are 12 per
cent‘ larger than in any previous year.
Failures in the .first week of November
amounted to $2,791,475 against,_$2,844,-v
445 last year, and'for October show liabili-
ties of 516,637, 921 against $11,127,290
last year and $24,954,132 in 1893. For the
past week failures have , been 283 in the
United States against 270 last year and 49
in Canada against 38 last year.
