EDWARD S. STOKES.

fore the New York public for a quarter
of a century principally through the law
courts, civil and criminal.

He was born in Philadelphia, where
his father was a merchant of high
standing and where he received a. high
school education.

As a boy he was an athlete, a bright
scholar and a favorite with his fellows.

When he left school, he went into a
stock broker’s ofiice and quickly devel-
oped talents as a money maker.

Philadelphia soon became too Small
for the young broker’s clerk, and he
came to New York in the early sixties.
Wall street was in a whirl of wild and
exciting speculation at the time, and
young Stokes plunged into the whirl-
pool boldly. >

He swam straight as an arrow in the
boiling sea and kept his head well above
water.

It was at this time that Jim Fisk,
then perhaps the boldest and most suc-
cessful of the Wall street plungers,
made the acquaintance of Stokes and
admitted him to his friendship._

The king of Erie and Stokes soon be-
came intimate, and where one went the
other was always seen.

Popular \Vith Women. '

At this time Ned Stokes was a strik-
ingly handsome man—he has always
been such for that matter—and his
grace of body and actual beauty of face
made him very popular with women.

He was a. young god of “the street”
in face, figure and conduct, and he won
his way into men’s affections and wom-
en’s hearts'with equal ease.

Fisk put chances in his way, and
Stokes was quick to profit by them,
and piled up the dollars rapidly.

He accepted all favors, was discreet,
a. royal good fellow and a. sharp, acute
financier. Fisk, a rare judge of char-
acter, knew Stokes thoroughly.

“He is a. nice fellow,” the Erie king
would say; “a capital fellow, but I
wouldn’t trust him further than that!”

The “that” was a snap of the fingers.

The two were fast friends, ever be-
coming more and more intimate, until
suddenly the ties whichbound them
were snapped by a woman’s hand.

Josie Mansfield, young, beautiful,
came upon the scene and with one
glance of her eyes won Jim Fisk com—
pletely. He installed her in a. hand-
some brown stone house onWest Twen-
ty-third street, and there she held
nightly receptions of much magnifi—
cence.

Ed Stokes was one of the guests at
these receptions, and the hostess looked
upon him with extraordinary favor.
Some one told Fisk of the progress
Stokes had made in Josle’s affections,
and instantly the ties which bound the
friends were broken.

Murdered His Benefactor.

Fisk threw the woman into the street
and started in to ruin Stokes in Wall
street. He was doing it rapidly and re—
morselessly when came the tragedy
which resulted in Fisk’s death and the
conviction of Stokes for murder in the
first degree, the penalty of which was
death on the gallows.

Jan. 4, 1872, Stokes shot Fisk in the
Grand Central hotel, on Broadway—
now the Broadway Central hotel—as
the latter was descending the grand
staircase.

The trial and conviction of Stokes
followed quickly, and he was found
guilty of murder in the first degree.
When, he heard the verdict, Stokes
sprang to his feet and cried, “Jay
Gould has done this!”

The lawyers secured a new trial, and
finally, after one of the bitterest legal
fights ever seen in our criminal courts
—a fight that cost the Stokes side a
great fortune—E. S. Stokes was sent to
prison for four years on a verdict of
manslaughter.

In 1876 he was a free man again, and
then he was taken by his friend, Cas-
sius Read, to live at the Hoffman
House.

He met John W. Mackay, the mil—
lionaire, and became associated with
him in great business schemes, 'among
them the Postal Telegraph company.

Stokes made money fast, was always
in litigation, was a. power among a cer-
tain class of politicians and had the
handsomest’ barroom in the United
States.

Today, after a hard and bitter- fight
In the courts, he is on top and his cn-
emies are at‘a standstill.

MISS BREWSTER IS DYING.

The Girl \Vho Eliot Anna 'i'iheel'er Will-
Never Be Brought. to Trial.

Montpelier, Vt., June 24.--3I‘ildred
Brewster will never be tried for the
murder of Anna “Theeler, and the pros-
ecution will probably not issue a com-
plaint against the young woman. Miss
Brewster is dying. She has been past
all hope of_recovery for a week, and
the physicians at the Heaton hospital
anticipate her death at any time. The
shooting of Anna Wheeler by Mildred
Brewster and her’ attempted suicide oc-
curred on Saturday morning, May 29.

It has been impossible to extricate the
ball from Miss Brewster's head. The
young woman is conscious nearly all
the time, andls able to converse intelli-
gently. She suffers constantly, how-
ever. . ~

Miss Brewster shot Anna Wheeler
and put a bullet into her own head in a
fit of jealousy aroused by the knowl-
edge that Miss Wheeler had .become
engaged to John Wheeler and that she
was going to Barre with him on .Me-
morial day. She has told her father
that when she dies he must publish in
the newspapers the letters which she
received from Wheeler and which are
now locked in her trunk.
