New Tonic. Oct. 14, 1370.
Nt Tkal tTMM, bm lithr U'tnii,
- Yesterday I had occasion to mention tbe name
of a woman who for months past had been em
ploying in and around New York the arts of a
tyrcn, for the Bake of making a comfortable
and pleasant living. I now discover, to my
Lorror, that it was not that woman, but another
woman, and that the other woman is divisible
Into three distinct personalities representative
of three distinct degrees of crime.
It has come to light that the real name of the
woman whose death I yesterday mentioned is
Mrs. Rebecca C. Jones, and that she was known
as the W illiamsburg Adventuress. The three
personalities who appear, npon sifting the story
to the bottom, may be specified as follows:
First. There was this Mrs. Jones, who appears
to have beeu merely a vulgar sort of swindler,
poescesing no great attractions of person, mind,
or manner, and employing no arts that were
liiuch above those of mediocrity.
Second. There is a Mrs. Patterson, whose real
ramc is Smith, and who possesses considerable
good looks and a good deal of giace of manner,
and a rather piquant art of Improvising and
lending her hearer to believe what she tells him.
She is a little over thirty years old, well
formed but not very well- informed. Whatever
means she uses to deceive with are those with
which nature alone has provided her. She has
no culture aud no accomplishments. Still, her
Batnral flow of language Is great, and her
natural cunning enables her to make use of this
gift usually to her own advantage. She Is far
from being a first-class swindler, however. She
does not adhere to ore line of falsehood; she
does not possess the unspeakable advantage of
possessing an Invisible accomplice; she reck
lessly encumbers herself with luggage which,
when a crisis comes, she is compelled to aban
don and sacrifice, unless Eke remains and sacri
fices herself; and she does not tell a perfectly
straight story, and is easily 'cornered" by any
one resolved to fathom the fraud. Each of
these women, smart though she is, is incalculably
Interior to
Number three, whoso favorite alias Is als
Mrs. Patterson, but who 1s known as Mrs War
ner as well. Mrs. Patterson-Warner is one o
the most accomplished frauds that ever lived
She has most of those natural aud artificial grace.
that "go down" alike with woaien as well a -men.
She has, behind the scenes, au decompile I
who never for a moment comes In sight, bu I
who apparently keeps her accurately posted with
respect to every movement made by detectives
to her disadvantage. She is well educated, con
verses charliilngly, has an air of innocence,
respectability and frankness, not to say Chris
tian virtue. She adheres absolutely to one line
of operations, and sticks to It through thick and
thin, no matter what the obstacles may be. 8he
moves from place to place encumbered with no
useless baggage. When the moment for flight
arrives, no time is lost in pining over cherished
articles that must be sacrificed. Her self
possession is wonderful. Her stories are told
with such confidence and adroitness that to trip
tcr up in one of them In an Impossibility. In
her you have a confidence woman in whom
ewindling amounts to gonius, and the enormity
of whose sin you losa sight of In your admiration
of the artistic perfectness by which that sin is
rendered of use to her. And so I drop the confi
dence woman question for the present.
Crowban and fold Potatoes.
The cafe of Mr. and Mrs. Bablngton came up
yesterday In one of our courts, and presents
several points that are peculiar enough to de
eerve mcntionine:. Mrs. Bablngton is the plnln
tiff and Mr. Jablngton the defendant. The
plaintiff briogs the action to obtain a decree of
separation aud separate maintenance. They
have been married about fifteen years, and con
tinued living together until the fall of 1868,
when Mrs. Bablngton left her husband because
of his cruel treatment of her. His cruel treat
ment took the form of getting drunk, and, while
he was in that condition, of subjecting her to a
rain of crowbars and cold potatoes. Why
marital, violence should Lave atsumed this
particular form is not satisfactorily set forth in
the complaint. Perhaps Mr. B. objected to
potatoes with the skins off, and in that case, if
Mrs. B. had devoted the same attention to keep
ing her eye "peeled" that she did to keeping
the potatoes so, it would have been better for
her in the end. Mr. B., on his side, avers that
It was JJrs. Bablngton, and not he, who got
drunk; that she called him all sorts of abusive
and indecent names; that as a mild endeavor to
frighten her off, he once picked up a crpwbar,
which, dropping out of his hand, rolled over on
the floor and touched her ankle; and that he on
one occasion threw at her oue potato when she
had been abusing some young ladies who were
visiting the family, and who, she insisted, should
get from the table "and get." 'Man and Wife"
is the same old story being told la all degrees
of life. In this case the parties seem to occupy
a respectable position in society, and to have
been very comfortably off so far as money is
concerned. Perhaps, indeed, that is what' the
matter.
Mlarellaaeons mention.
The division of the city Into three police dis
tricts is talked of. The peculiarly significant
death of Superintendent Jourdan has suggested
the propriety of this division, since the duties
that have hitherto devolved upon the Chief of
Police are too arduous for oae man to perform
without injury to his brain aud body.
Miss Netta has been "put out" of the Sales
women's Early Closing Association. The rea
son for her being put out is that she perempto
rily refused to hand to the association, until it
Ehuld be more permanently and securely es
tablished, such money as, through her personal
exertion, she has collected from Mayor Hall,
Commissioner Tweed, Sheriff O'Brien, and
County Clerk Loew.
Flsk's body-guard has been busy recelvlug
three antique military delegations from New
England, namely, the Newburyport Artillery,
the Amoskeag Veterans, and the Putnam Pha
lanx. Tbe men composing these delegations
are extremely staid and solid-looking. What
there can be in common between them and the
conscienceless Proteus of opera and railroad it is
not easy to understand. Perhaps it is to be
accounted for on the old principle of extremes.
The approaching arrival of French artists in
this city is mentioned. Among those spoken
of as about to arrive are Itoea Benheur, Jerome
Meissonier, Salntrine, and Galaat. At present
Earls it closed to art. The muses never flourish
among the accoutrements of war. Canons in
art and cannoa la artillery have little sympathy
with each other. Some of ur millionaires
might, by giviag orders to those artists, da a
great deal for art at horn by recognizing the
art which comes to us from abroad.
