SATTJHDAY EVENING, AUG. 20. 1881. WITH ELEYEN WITES. ARREST Or AN INDUSTRIOUS BIGAMIST AND SWINDLER. Bis Exploits During the Past few Years Eight or Nine Women Married and Deserted. Arthur Jlerritt, alias A. B. Morten, Themas A. Marvin, A. T. Marvin, J. B. Lindscy and J. B. Matthicsen, is the man who lately deceived a young lady of Rich mond into marriage with him as a rich widower aud then basely deserted her, af ter reaping the profits of several forgeries. It will be remembered that Miss Turpin, aged tit, amiable, accomplished, pretty, and of high social standing, answered his advertisement for a governess in a church paper. He proceeded te give a ' dignified aud well written acceuut of him self as an American gentleman of wealth and a widower with one child, who spent his time mainly in travelling in Europe and who was new about te go te the Het Springs of Arkansas for the benefit of his health. He gave as references Judge Cowan, of Gcrmautewn, Pa.; William A. Tayler cx-member of Cengrecs, of Camden, N. J., and the Rev. Jehn Dan forth, Media, Va. He expressed himself as highly pleased with .Mrs. Turpin's letter, and al though her terms were rather Inch he thought he would like te engage her and would come en te sec her as seen as he had ccttlcd some business affairs iu New Yerk. Miss Turpin wrote te the three personage Mr. Marvin had named as references and recieved the most satis factory replies. The writcis united in speaking et Mr. Marvin in the most flat tering terms. They said that they had known him a great many years ; that he was a gentleman of great culture and re finement ; of the highest honor and iu tcgrity and possessed eflarge means. The clergymau wrote that his daughter had been Mr. Marvin's first wife, and that he had ttcatcd her with the utmost kindness. Miss Turpin expressed her .satisfaction with the result of her inquiries, and se in formed Mr. Marvin, who canto te Rich mond te see her, and their interview re sulted in her partial engagement as gov erness for the daughter, whose sudden ill ness, he explained, called him away before the contract was closed. A few days after Mr. Marvin's depar ture te attend te his sick daughter Mrs. Turpin received a letter from Mrs. Tayler, the wife of the Camden congressman. making an interesting and romantic dis closure. The writer could net resist the temptation of betraying Mr. Marvin's con fidence in a geed cause. He had called en iter since he left Richmond aud told her that the young lady whom he was about te etigage as governess was the most charm ing woman he had ever met in his life. He was in leve with her, and would be the happiest man iu the world if he thought Miss Turpin would consent te be his wife. The writer strongly advised the latter te consent if Mr. Marvin should offer himself, sayiug that she had known him thirty years, that he had bceu a devoted husband te his first wife, and had nursed her ten derly through the long illness which ter minated iu her death six years age. Twe days after this a letter came from Mr. Marvin formally proposing for Miss Tur pin's hand, ami saying that he could net bear te think of employing her as a mere governess. A day or two after he presented himself in person and was accepted, He again had te leave hurridly en business, and en his return settled $39,000 for life en his prospective wife, and en the- 20th of July last the couple were married, the groom being iu haste te get te the Het Springs for his health and thouce go abroad. The happy couple started en a honey moon trip at once, but before leaving, through the identification of Mr. A. M. Brewncll, a Richmond business man aud brother-in-law of the bride, Mr. Marvin cashed the draft for $765, drawn by David & Bradley, through the First national bank of Madisen, "Wis., en the First na tienal bank of Chicago Out of this he teod $230 in money and the balance in a draft en the Merchants' national bank of New Yerk. Mr. Marvin had net left Richmond a week before it was known that the draft which he had presented was a forgery, and wheli it was discovered that he hajl steeped te the small business of borrowing $13 from the minister who had married him. it was realized that he was a scenndrtl and an adventurer. Miss Marvin's friends at ence took meas ures te discover the whereabeut of the -man who had se meanly deceived them. Through the letters of his trusting young wife, who had net yet discovered that she was the victim of au unprincipled villian, his whereabouts were traced, and Pinker Pinker ten's detective agency was communicated with Fer several days it was impossible te obtain any clew te the scoundrel's whereabouts, for he was adroit enough te have all his wife's letters "mailed en the wing." They wcre all posted en railroad trains or stepping places en the read, se that his wife could net be communicated with. A lady friend of the Turpins and Mr. Brewncll had by this time come te New Yerk te aid iu the search and te take the young lady te her friends as seen as she should be found. At length en the 2Gth ult. it was learned by the detectives that the couple were iu Albany, but he was tee old a bird te be caught there, and only stayed long cueugh te get a werthtlcss draft cashed for about $450, by Spencer, Trask & Ce. This draft was the one he had procured in Richmond, under the name of Themas A. Marvin. He indorsed it te A. B.Morten, was identi fied at the bank by a man who knew him as "General Jlorten, a very prominent and wealthy railroad man," and procured the money, a portion of which the detective learned was in the form of drafts payable te Henry C. Beach and a Mrs, Kenny. About this time Marvin determined te get rid of his wife, probably knowing that the detectives were after him and that she would be in the way, and having made it a rule apparently te live with a woman net mere than a week or se. The method he adopted displayed characteristic ingenuity. He was in Rochester, sent his wife en te Albany en the pretense of having business te transact and affected te have missed the train. He wrote a news dispatch pur porting te ceme from Richmond, Va., an nouncing that Mrs. Turpin, nis wife's mother, had been thrown from a carriage and seriously if net fatally hurt. By some sharp practice he procured the publication of this item in a Rochester paper. Then he telegraphed his wife that her mother had been bedly injured and she had better, proceed at ence te Richmond. He for warded-the newspaper cutting by mail with railroad passes te Richmond, and said he would meet heratHarrisburg, Pa. Having thus rid himself of his latest mat rimonial victim Marvin was better able te elude the vigilence of the detective His unfortunate victim proceeded en her way, was overtaken by her friends and taken te her home, where she found, of course, that 1 the dispatch was a hoax and her mother I alive and well. I Meantime the detectives had proceeded te New Haven, where they found that Mr. Beach and Mrs. Kenny te whom the drafts had been paid, were creditors of Marvin. They are respectable and worthy people, and knew the adventurer as Gen. Morten. Under this name Marvin has bearded for three years past in the house of Mrs. Ken ny, with a lady who is believed te be his real wife. The New Haven police have long regarded the se-called General Mor Mer Mor eon as a suspicious character. He seemed te travel a great deal and always came back from his frequent trips with plenty of money. But he paid his debts and lived quietly. A close watch was theneferward kept in New Haven by Pinkerton's men, as it was evident that that place was the headquarters of the adventurer. Other instruments were also at work weaving the nets in which the wily scoun drel was destined te be caught. One of the peculiarities of the Pinkerton detec tive agency is its valuable system of re cords. By the aid of these Mr. Rebert Pinkerton was led te bclieve, and the be lief was seen strengthened into positive certainty, that Marvin was no ether than David Lindsay, who, about five years age, deluded two young girls into a bogus marriage and by means much resembling in their devilish ingenuity these employed in the Richmond case. One et tnese vic tims he deserted in Washington, after ob taining $500 from her, and the ether he, in turn, abaudencd iu Chicago, after rob bing her family of a considerable amount. The young ladies in question were of the highest respectability and both are new happily and legally married. Their names are withheld for obvious reasons. In these cases the Pinkertons were cm cm pleyed, aud they secured the man ; but he was released because the victims shrank from publicity. Continuing the investigation by the aid of the Chicago agency of this detective bureau and from ether sources a great part of the previous history of this man was revealed. The record is one which may truly be called as tonishing. As a catalogue of successful villainies prolonged through a half score of years it has never been excelled and rarely parallelled. Uudur the name of J. B. Lindsay about a year age he obtained $G,509 from a pri vate banking lum m .hulala, Alabama, ou some forged notes for cotton, causing the ruin of the firm aud escaping with his plunder. A year age last spring he was identified in St. Leuis by Majer Sergeant, prominent citizen of Missouri, as having iu 1878 swindled him out of $2,000 by a clever forgery in Joplin, Me. He was ar rested bv the St. Leuis police and a full kit of counterfeiters' aud forgers' tools were found iu his luggage. Evidence was also found te show that he obtained rail road passes all ever the country as an of ficer of various railroad companies, whose letter heads he counterfeited. This prac tice he has since ceutiuued. He has lived "en the wing," but rarely had te pur chase railroad tickets. It was also found that he was just en the point of issueing bogus checks of the Planters' bank, of Owensboro, Ky. The counterfeit plates, rubber stamps, letter beads, &c., were found among his effects at the time of his aircst in St. Leuis. The prisoner was placed under $10,000 bail and was plaus ible enough te deceive a prominent law yer who became one of his sureties. He jumped his bail and was never afterward arrested until captured yesterday. Among Mcriitt's ether victims wcre the Mining batik, Dcadwoed, te the extent of $2,000 ; the Fourth national bank, St. L-.uiis ; the Joplin, Me., bank, $2,000 ; I. 1. Lockwood, Fert Smith. Ark., -$300 ; Fit st national bank, Sedalia. Me., $1,200 ; Beleit, Kau., bank, $3,000 ; Exchange bank, Aelten, Kan., $0,500. Among his numerous wives, in addition te the four already mentioned (the two New Yerk girls, the New Haven lady and his latest victim, in Richmond,) was the young lady in Lakewood, N. J., whom he married en July 16, only four days before his marriage te the Richmond lady. The adventurer at that time called himself Al bert P. Marvin, and claimed te be an at at tache of the United States Legation a!; Paris. He deserted his victim in Wash ington, after obtaining money from her father, a clergyman. His hasty departures from Richmond were owing te the neces sity of his keeping this wife from suspect ing his plans while he was arranging te marry Mis.s Turpin. About two years age he married a lady in Carthage, Me., aud deserted her iu a week. He then appears te have visited Philadelphia, where he was united te an other the seventh se far as known. In Little R-jck, Me., he next turns up as the husband of a daughter of a former Gover Gover eor of the State, whom he quickly aban doned. Mrs. Nellie De Hart, a young widow, was his ninth bride, and two ethers are known te. exist one recently married in Painesville, Ohie. The names et the ladies, net given in this article, are sup pressed at the request of their friends, but are known te the detectives. In nearly all case.) Marvin's mode of procedure seems te have been about the same. He would advertise" for a governess, and then propose te his confiding charge te marry him. Marvin was taken into custody at Lynn, Mass., where he was traced by skillful de de tcctive work. He was living obscurely at the Sagamore hotel, under the name of B. F. Adams. Mr. Brewnelf, the brother-in-law of Mi-s Turpin, fully identified him as the man for whom they were in search and he was taken into custody aud locked up te await the arrival of a reposition from the governor of Virginia te the executive authority of Massachusetts. The prisoner will be taken at ence te Richmond. The feeling of indignation in that city against Marvin is said te be very slreug and threats of lynching him have been heard. It was ascertained that when Marvin had deserted his last "wife" he went te Canada aud swindled a Terente firm out of $1,200 by a worthless check drawn on'tke Chicago branch of the Merchants' bank of Canada through t be First national bank Madisen, Wis. Marvin, te call him by his most recent alias, is described as a mau of 5 feet, 9 or 10 inches in height, weighing 143 or 150 pounds, of fine appearance and very gen tlemanly and dignified manners. He is about 60 years of age, but well prescrved and has a fierid complexion, white hair aud side whiskers, geed teeth and large mild gray eyes. He would easily-pass for a wealthy banker or a man of refinement and elegant leisure. . It new turns out that in the interval, while Marvin was absent from Richmond, in July last, he went te Lakewood, N. J., and thcre married a young widow Mrs. Nellie Dc Hart, daughter of the Rev. G. L. Hevoy, the bride's father performing the ceremony. Before the ceremony he tried te get Mr. Hevcy te cash a draft for $5,000 for him, bnt the minister did net de it. After the marriage, however, Marvin borrowed 100, giving Mr. Hevcy his note, payable one dayafterdate, fortheameunt. Theu Marvin went en his wedding trip. Arrived at Washington he left Mrs. Mar vin De Hart in that city, saying that he was going te Fredericksburg te visit his sick child, but iu fact he went te Rich mond aud married Miss Turpin. On his way north with her, en bis second wedding trip, he stepped off the train at Washing ten aud Miss Turpin was carried alone toward Baltimore. Marvin telegraphed te her ou the train, however, that he had missed the train at the Washington depot, but would fellow en the next train. Going te the hotel in Washington where he had left Mrs. Dc nart, the Lakewood wife, he brought her with him en that "extra train," sending her home from Philadel phia, and bringing Miss Turpin, whom he overtook en the way, te Jersey City. As te Presidential Gifts. Kinsley Twining in X. Y. Imlepemlcnt. Our corporate editorial "We" has, in a previous number, expressed a qualified approval of the gift proposed te be made te His excellency the President of the United States, through his wife. The en tire fieedem and confidence which reigns among us m tins office permits me te say that the part of this editorial " we " which is represented by my own substantive "I " is moved te exercise its liberty of dissent, and te give our readers another whiff of independent opinion as te presidential gifts. Te name the lower reason first, I con sider it below the dignity of a great people te make its commemoration of such an oc casion for gratitude a private affair, te be celebrated by personal gifts, and below the dignity of a great magistrate te receive them. There is nothing national aud net much that is representative iu the contribution proposed. A few large givers make it, aud there are always enough such te be found te raise, whenever called for, a sim ilar amount and divide the glory of it among themselves. I was living in Dres den when the hand of an assassin struck the Kaiser William. Germany felt as we de, and wished te express its gratitude ; but no one ventured te let down the com memoration se low as te make a personal gift te the beloved Kaiser or te his wife. The only thiug fit te be thought of was seme pubiir mon ument. -Te make it national no one was permitted te subscribe mera than a few pence. During the reign of Napeleon III when France was burdened with the cost of the public works, a pri vate citizen came forward with the colossal sum and offered it te the national treasury te relieve the pressure of the time. It was declined, with the gracious politeness of which only a Frenchman is capable, and with the further explanation that a great state cannot permit itself te be assisted in its public burdens by private generosity, but must meet its own obligations. The president is net a private citizen. He rep resents the state and cannot stand in per sonal relations te private citizens without injury te the dignity and impartiality of his office. Sums contributed te the state for hospitals, museums and definite pur poses belong te another category. They are net given te discharge public burdens, but iu creation of trusts, which the state may or may net consent te administer. When the death of Castlcreagh brought Canning into view as the head of the new ministry, the ebstinate teryism of the king" resisted. "Arthur," said he te the Duke of Wellington, "I cannot deit. I have pledged ray word as a gentleman net te have him." " But," replied the duke, te the astonished sovereign, " the king is net a gentleman." Private interests and personal relations de net exist iu such sta tions ; or, if they de, only confound justice and endanger liberty. I dissent, however, chielly en the larger ground that personal gifts threaten the independence and impartiality of the mag istrate and embarrass his relations with the people. When Admiral Feete com manded our flotilla in the Chinese waters, at the Lime of the attack en the forts, he was made the recipient of many gifts of great value. He received them net for himself, but for the nation, and with the honor of a soldier and of a national rcpre scutative, made them ever te the govern ment at Washington, where I suppose they may still be seen. TI113 has been the rule in our service, and there is liewheic as much reason for it as iu the president's case. It was nevcr shown that Lord Bacen re ceived a bribe ; but only general gifts. It was net even charged that his judicial opinions wcie affected by the gifts. A congressman cannot take large gifts with out ruining himself before the people. They compromise him. They bring him into dangerous personal relations. In view of the baseless charges pressed during the election, there is mere reason than ever against giving the gratitude of the nation the dangerous and objectionable form of a personal gift. His friends especially should abstain from compromising him in this way. If it is said that it is net a na tional act, but only the act of a few pri vate citizens and friends, the objection will then rise in full force : that a presi dent should net allow himself te be put in relations of large aud serious obligation te a cempauy of friends aud private citizens. A noble and generous impulse lies back of this movement we will even call it patriotic ; but it is all the mere te be re sisted, for there is a reduplication of mis chief in a bad precedent set up by stainless men ou an innocent occasion. It may be supposed that in ether' circumstances the corrupt promoters of a corrupt scheme would desire nothing mere te their purpose tban the weight which such a precedent as' this would derive from its unquestionable purity and unselfish generosity. The president is net yet in a condition te speak for himself ; we hope that his friends will net force him te de se ; but, se seen as he can, he must put an end te their ill-advised projects, or they will de him an injury which all the wealth of New Yerk would net repair. Rules Fer the larlj Au Argument A gainst Senatorial Dele- Kates. llarrlsburg Patriot. As every county in the state is repres- cutcd in tue state convention ey u ilele- gate or delegates chosen en the basis of its representation in the popular branch of the legislature tlie election of senatorial delegates would seem te be unnecessary and superfluous. It cannot be argued that the senatorial delegates are a check upon the representative delegates, for they de net constitute a separate body and never act independently of the latter. If the only object of the election of senatorial delegates is a3 it seems te be te increase the membership of the con vention, there might for the same reason be added te the body a cengrcs sieual dclegate elected by each congres sional district. But the election of dele gates te represent large districts does net carry out the Democratic idea, which is that local communities shall be heard by their deputies rather than that a few per sons shall speak for the mass. Therefore, if the convention is te be enlarged beyond the number jf delegates corresponding te the number of representatives in the pep ular branch of the legislature it should be done net by assigning delegates te sena torial or congressional districts but by giving each representative district double its present representation. Tke election of senatorial delegates has net worked well in seme instances. Fer example when delegatcs te a national con vention are chosen they are named by the delegates from the several congressional districts for each respective district. It has happened that a senatorial delegate after voting for a delegate te the national convention for his own proper congres sional .district, resigned his seat in the state convention and substituted in his stead a person residing in another congressional district bat in the same senatorial district who also voted for a delegate te the national convention from his congressional district. Thus one senatorial delegate virtually cast two votes iu uie election ei ueiegaies w tee uaweuai convention. This sort of thing occurred at the state convention of last year and caused a contest te be carried te the na tional convention. This shows that a sys tem which blends the representation of senatorial and representative districts in one body is net only complicated but sns- -. ceptible of perversion te fraudulent pur poses. On the whole it may be reasonably concluded that the party can get along quite well without senatorial delegates. A Geed Enough Story. There is a very pretty story told hew a lovely Jewess in a Russian town saved her property and her life during the recent at tacks upon the Jews. A great, hulking ruffian entered her shop and bought a leaf of bread. After swallowing a couple of mouthfuls, he threw himself en the ground outside the shop-deer and began te howl piteously, that he was poisoned the Jews had poisoned him. Of course, an infuriated crowd instantly assem- sembled, and it would have fared ill with enr Jewess if she had net dashed out of the shop, and snatching the bread of the imposter's band, begun te cat in sight of them all. The ciewd stepped, thunder struck ; then a bread grin dawned en every countenance ; then oue of them called out te her, " Alesha, lend me your knout, will yen?" Then the imposter started te his feet and scudded off, pur sued by a mischievous but no longer san guinary crowd. Indigestion.
