LONDON, March 4.—At the Marlborough
Street police court this morning Walter
Selwyn, said to be one Of the most clever
crooks in the world, was charged with \con-
spiring with Frederick Pemberton’ Peach,
now awaiting trial, to defraud George Wil-
lis Sears, of 104 Regent street, W., out of
£800 by false pretenses. Mr. St. John Wont-
ner prosecuted on behalf'of the treasury.

A Romance of Crime.

This is a continuation of the famous crim-
inal case known as the “Great Bond Rob-
bery,” and is one of the romances of crime
in England. In brief, the “Great Bond
Bobbery” was plotted and carried out in

‘ the following manner: '

Turkish priority 5 per cent. bonds, after
having been insured in Paris in January,
1890, for £8,500 with the representatives of
the Marine Insurance company, were in due
course dispatched to this country. They
were put on board the Steamer Mary Bea-
trice, one of the Southeastern company’s
fleet at Boulogne, but on reaching the Eng-
lish shore they were missed from the safe
and no trace of them could be found until
the summer of last year, when a number of
them were traced by Chief Inspector Ab-
berline, of Scotland Yard. o

Peach, who had had money transactions
with Mr. Scears, a. gentleman of independ-
ent means, residing with his wife in Regent
street, obtained a loan for £890 on a certain
number of the bonds on behalf, as he said,
of a Mr. Melville, of Merryvale House,
Eastbourne, who is charged with Peach with
participating in the conspiracy, and when
the coupons were sent on to the Oriental
bank for payment the “bubble burst” and
warrants for the prisoners’ arrest were ob-
tained. Soon afterward Peach was taken
into custody and charged with having de-
frauded Scears of the amount named.

How the Conversion “'as Efl‘ected.

Mr. A. K. Filey, superintendent of the
coupon department of the London agency
of the Imperial Ottoman bank, Throgmor-
ton street, said that on the 10th Of March,
1890, he received instructions from the coun-
cil of administration of the Imperial Otto-
man debt, and after that date all bonds and
coupons of the 5 per cent. priority bonds
were examined when presented. In May,
1890, the 5 per cent. loans were advertised
to be converted into 4 per cent. loans. Wit-
ness produced a prospectus of the conver-
sion. The holders of the bonds were re-
quired to exercise their right in the conver-
sion on the 22d of May, 1890, or at a date to
be subsequently fixed. The bonds were to
be paid Off at par up to the date fixed upon.
The date ultimately decided upon was the
12th of July, and after that date interest
ceased to be payable. The fact was pub-
licly advertised on the 18th of June.

In November, 1891, some of the coupons
of the bonds which they had noticed
had been stolen were presented by the
Union bank for payment, and notice was
returned to the eifect that they had been

. stopped. Notice at the same time was
given to the Marine Insurance company.
In July, 1891, all the unconverted bonds of
the 5 per cent. bonds should have had at-
tached the coupons of and from September
of that year. The presentation of those
coupons would Of course cause inquiry to
be made.

 

The Testimony.

Mr. J. H. P. Bland, chief clerk to Messrs.
Bristow Bros, stock and share dealers of
Austin Friars, said that on the 13th of

‘ January advice was received as to the dis-

patch Of a certain number Of bonds by Mr.

Raffaele, of Paris. One Of the parcels was

to come by registered post and the other by

the tidal train. The Turkish bonds were of
the value of £8,500, and besides these
there were twenty-five Mexican bonds.

None of the bonds arrived, and notice was

given the following day to the Marine In-

surance company of that fact.

M. Paul Henri, clerk to Messrs. George
Dunlop & 00., 38 Avenue de l’Opera, Paris,
agents to the Marine Insurance company,

. produced an insurance order from M. Raf-
faele, dated the 11th of January, for bonds
for the value of 260,000 francs. The order
was numbered 233. There were two other
orders, numbered 231 and 232. Witness pro-
duced the policy and the receipt from M.
Rafiaele. The insurance was not only for
the railway t0 Boulogne, but for the whole
journey from Paris to London. It was an
indefinite policy as to date.

M. Antoine Pomper, deputy chief of the
financial department of .the Chemin de Fer
du N 0rd, produced a book containing the
signature of the guard of the train for the
bonds.

Frederick Carpenter, an employee of the
Chemin de Fer du N 0rd at Boulogne, said
he received a leaden basket containing the
bonds at Boulogne station and carried it
to the quay, where it was opened in the
presence of the sous brigadier of the custom
house. He took the larger of the four par-
cels which the basket contained on board
the Mary Beatrice and put it by the side of
the safe in the presence of the second Officer
of the vessel. The other parcels were put
in the same place afterward.

Frederick Downs, arailroad reporter at
Folkstone, said he remembered the arrival
of the steamer Mary Beatrice on the 12th of
January, 1890. He conveyed the iron safe
from the ship to the baggage room, and
there saw it opened in the presence of Mr.
Ledger, now, deceased. It contained only
two instead of four parcels. '

Chief Inspector Abberline, of Scotland
Yard, said he heard of the theft of the
bonds and saw the notices issued. After-
- ward, in March, 1891, he went to Calais
with aview to watching the steamers as
they arrived. He was there on the morn-
ing of the 9th of April, accOmpanied by De-
tective Sergeant ~Lowe. -He saw four men
leave the steamer Breeze on its arrival from
Dover. One of them was named Powell,
and another St. Clair, the other two he knew
v, by the names of Red Bob and Shrimps.

He knew the four well and suspected them.

Arrested in France.

At his instance they were arrested by the
French‘police, and at their bureau a ticket
Powell tried to swallow was taken from
him by a powerful oilicer. .Powell ap-
peeled to witness, saying that it was noth-
ing; but the mass was handed to Wit
ness in a state of pulp, and on its being
pawns- itprovedtto be, a cloakroom
ticket fora hat box left at the Victoria sta-
tion. The number was ‘-destmyed, but the

was,“ 21th of Hard), 1891,,was intact.

Dover, was also taken from Powell’s hand.
Witness saw three keys found upon St.
Clair. One was a master key and fitted all
the safes on all the steamers of the London,
Chatham and Dover company. He also had
two small padlock keys, one of which fitted
the padlock on an outer box on board the
steamer Wave and another padlock at the
station at Dover. An impression of the
key that fitted the padlock on board the
Breeze was also taken from St. Clair. Wit-
ness saw “Red Bob” press something to-

. gether with all his force, and on its being

taken from him it proved to be a piece of
Wax on which had been the impression of a
key. The four were detained by the French

police. .
A Case of Substitution.

On returning to this country witness went .

to the cloakroom at the Dover station, and
in one of the bags there he discovered a
dummy parcel, done up neatly in oilcloth
and sealed so as to resemble exactly in its
appearance a parcel of real bonds. ' The par-
cel was to be substituted for the real bonds
after they had been stolen, so that the loss
would not be immediately discovered. In
the hat box at Victoria Winn witness dis-
covered within the lining a_. all seal packet.
containing sixty-tWO coupons Of the missing
bonds. . The box also contained a couple of
old shirts. The French police were informed
of what witness had found, and the four
men were kept in custody until August,
when they were ordered to leave the coun-
try under a decree of expulsion.

Peach and Melville were eventually con-
nected by the police with the man charged
today known as “Walter Selwyn,” “Cap-
tain Selwyn” and “Lord Fairfax,” who, in
1888, was charged with attempting to Ob-
tain $150,000 by means Of fraudulent Amer-
ican railroad bonds, and who has undergone
sentences of imprisonment and penal servi-
tude. He will now most likely be tried
with Peach.

Mr. Thomas Girdler, managing clerk to
Mr.‘Chancellor, house agent, of Richmond,
said that in November, 1889, they had the
selling of a house, 2 Park hill, Richmond.
They had negotiations with a man named
Walter Selwyn, and the lease was sold to
Mrs. Selwyn, his wife, for £480. He had
seen the photograph in the possession of
Chief Inspector Abberline, and from that he
identified the man.

Constable Hammond said that he had
charge of an empty house in Park hill,
Richmond. Captain Selwyn, with his wife
and sister and two children, lived at NO. 2.
Witness when they were absent had taken
care of their cat and bird for them. The
photograph produced was that of Captain
Selwyn.

A Big Attempt at Fraud. .

Detective Inspector Stroud said that he
had a case in 1888 in which a person of the

name of Walter Selwyn, or Fairfax, was

concerned with a man named Johnson and
four others in a gigantic attempt at fraud
in connection with the deposit of a large
number of Hamilton and Western railway
(American) bonds. They had attempted to
obtain £30,000 on the bonds, which proved
to be fraudulent. Selwyn called himself
Lord Fairfax. and the pair were tried at the
Old Bailey, and 'were convicted and sen-
tenced. Selwyn had suffered eighteen
months and five years’ penal servitude.
When he had Selwyn in custody he wore a
large black mustache, but next morning it
had turned brown. He recognized Selwyn
by the photograph produced.

Inspector Sager, Of the city police, said
that he was present at the central criminal
court in November, 1890, when two men
named George Johnson and John Phillips
were tried for forgery. He saw'Selwyn
there, and he recognized him from the
photograph in the possession Of Abberline.

Detective Sergeant Lowe, of Scotland
Yard, said that he was present with Abber-
line at Boulogne and elsewhere, and he cor-
roborated his evidence generally.

A Elan of hIany Aliases.

“Lord Fairfax,” alias “Captain Selwyn,”
charged as “Walter Selwyn,” vowed that
he was innocent of any participation in the
conspiracy, but - the police had a surprise in
store for everybody, and when the prelim-
inary testimony had been given fully iden-
tifying Peach’s connection with Melville,
they proved, to the satisfaction of the mag-
istrate at least, that “Melville” and “Lord
Fairfax” and “Captain Selwyn” were one
and the same person. This the prisoner in-
dignantly denied, but- he was remanded un-
til Monday in order to enable the police to
complete their chain of evidence. “Lord
Fairfax’s” name has frequently been men-
tioned in connection with Peach, but until
today nobody except the police had any
idea that he and “Melville” were one and
the same person.

MAHERISMHAMI’ION

Lanky Bob Fitzsimmons Whipped
‘Him in Twelve Rounds.

THERE WAS N0 KNOGIIOUT.

“'illiam Madden’s “Irish Chamfiion”
Proves u Chopping Block for the
New Zealander “’ho Vnnquished
I Dempsey —The BIen's Methods.

 

i NEw ORLEANS, March 4.—Bob Fitzsim-
mons, late of New Zealand, in defeating
Peter Maher, dubbed by William Madden
the “Champion of Ireland,” won the great-
est victory Of his life, and which marks him
as one of the greatest of living prize ring
generals. NO battle has ever been better
fought on more scientific principles, and to
Fitzsimmons’ science his victory is due.

A comparison of the two men showed an

Fitz had the advantage, but only a slight
one after all. As to strength, the general
judgment of all the experts present was
that Maher was far ahead of the New Zea-
lander. His blows in the first round, which
so nearly knocked Fitzsimmons out, proved
this.
The Important “If.”

If he could have got in a few more like
that it would have given him an easy vic-
tory, but it was here that Fitz’s strategy
and generalship came in,-for after that first
blow he did not let the Irishman get in a
second like it. Maher only succeeded in
landing a dozen good blows.

The New Zealander had a clever trick of
nipping his arm so that it cauoht most Of
the blows intended for his s1 es. Fitzsim-
mons hit out far heavier than he did in the
Dempsey flight, and proved himself much
stronger than he was then.

Fitz’s llIetbods.

Fitz’s plan of campaign became evident
from the first. He made up his mind that
body blows would have little effect on his
opponent. Having made up his mind on
the point, Fitzsimmons concluded to fight
for the face. He started Maher’s nose and
mouth bleeding in the first round, and he
kept it up to the end, getting in over fifty
blows in that region. Maher’s lips were cut
in a dozen places, and there were bad cuts'
around his nose and eyes.

The Hood flowed profusely from these
Wound. rind Fitz’s gloves were a bright
crimson when he had finished, while Maher
‘ ‘lS con-red with blood to the waist. His
eyes also were affected, for each time that
Fitzsimmons struck him in the eye the
blood on the glove left the Irishman half
blinded.

The Irishman’s nose was completely
closed so that he could not breathe at all
through it, and his threat was almost in
the same condition. This made him very
- groggy toward the end.

Agile Fitzsimmons.

While Fitzsimmons was tapping Maher
on the mouth and nose, he was dancing
around the ring avoiding punishment. The
Irishman got him into the corner several
times; but he always managed to get away
without injury. His movements were as
quick as lightning and his dodging was
wonderful.

Fitz’s fighting was very much like that
of Charlie Mitchell’s, whereas Maher stood
in the center all the time, over ready for
attack. '

Maker’s Style.

Maher’s principal blow was a vicious drive
with his right at close quarters for the ribs
or heart. He exhibited great cleverness in
the use of this. Fitz appreciated this early
in the fight and he kept the Irishman at a
distance. He seemed to have the power to
land when and wherever he wanted. Maher
showed himself weak on the defensive and
was able to ward Off very few Of the Aus-
tralian’s blows.

The first seven rounds showed Maher d 0-
ing most of the leading, although Fitzsim-
mons often rushed in. After that round,
and particularly toward the end, the Aus‘
tralian did most of the fighting, Maher re-
maining stolidly in the. center Of the ring
and defending himself, while Fitz fought all
around him, growing more and more effec-
tive and landing heavier blows on him. In
the twelfth round it looked as though Fitz
might knock the Irishman out, and he
seemed disposed to do so.

Maher Asks for Quarter.

Maher was heard -to say something to
Fitzsimmons, which could not be heard at
the time, but it Was learned afterward that
he asked the New Zealander not to knock
him' out, as he (Maher) intended to quit.
He was still able to strike good blows and
there was a possibility of his catching Fitz
another such blow as he landed in the first
round, which might have won him the vic-
tory on a fluke. _

The general verdict was that Maher did
right in retiring when he did, and that it
was not through any cowardly spirit he did
so. The fight was a lost one, and Fitzsim-
mons could easily have knocked the Irish-

Maher was very groggy toward the end,
and more and more at the mercy of his
clever Opponent.

Both Fair Fighters.

Both men were clean fighters all the way
through, and only once was the cry of foul
raised. Fitzsimmons had had his backto
Maher when he swung around his right
arm and gave the ,Irish boy a crashing jab
in the stomach. The blow was a peculiar
one, but not in the slightest degree a foul.

Maher acknowledged in the‘ ring that

. Fitzsimmons was the better man, and said

that the trouble was that he could not hit
the New Zealander.

“If I could have hit him,” he continued,
“I might have done something, but it was
impossible. I don’t believe any one can hit
him.”

Madden attributes Maher’s defeat solely
to lack of training.

The attendance was the largest ever
known. Although the Olympics had pro-
vided accommodation for 6,000 persons they
were forced to turn a large number away.

The club will make a very handsome profit
on the afi’air, as there was §35,000 in the
house.

Sarsapariila

It would be difficult to find a man

better known in the vicinity of Burling-

4 ton, Vt., than Mr. R. D. Wheeler of

Winooski Falls, the efficient Deputy

Sheriff Of Burlington county. He says:
“C. I. Hood 85 Co., Lowell, Mass»:

“Dear Sirs: If Hood’s Sarsaparilla cost

$I0.00 a Bottle

I should still keep using it, as I have
for the past ten years. With me the
question as to whether life is worth
living depends upon whether I can get
Hood’s Sars arilla. I don't think I
could live witiout' it now. certainly I
should not wish to, and suffer as I used
to. For over ten years I suffered the
horrors of the damned with

Sciatic Rheumatism

for if ever a man suffers with anything
in this' world it is with that awful dis-f
case. It seems to me as if all other
physical suffering were compressed into
that one. I took about everything man
ever tried for it but never got a-dollar’s
worth of help until I began taking

Hood's Sarsaparilla

I have taken it now pretty regularly for
ten years and have no more pain and
can get around all right. I have
advised a good many to try Hood’s Sar-
saparilla.” R. D. WHEELER, Deputy
Sheriff. Winooski Falls, Vt.
