Then lie Married a Young Woman front

to Forget Illm-Iiccn In Scran
ton Since September 12.
Thomns A. Lucas, age 29 years, was
arrested at Wyoming avenue and Mul
berry street yesterday morning at 7.20
on the authority of a warrant issued
by Governor Pattlson in response to a
requisition received from the gover
nor of Tndinna. Lucas is wanted at
Valparaiso, Ind., for defrauding Mrs,
Lydla H. Johnson, of that place, of
about $3,000, a sum of money she had
saved us a dower for her grand
daughter, Miss .Lillle Irving, whose
home Is in Perry, Iowa. At this time
Lucas was a resident of Chicago and
says he was acting as the principal of
the Haven school of short hand and
typewriting.
Three months ago he left Chicago In
response to a message from his home
at Howard, this state, Informing him
of the death of his mother. He at
tended the, Inst rites and after his
mother had been burled wrote to Miss
Irwin stating that he thought he would
go south with his sister who, he said,
was In feeble health. He remained
at his home three weeks and then, in
stead of going south, went to Massa
chusetts and married a young lady
with whom lie hud been acquainted in
Chicago. After the marriage ceremony
was performed Mr. and Mrs. Lucas
swung around the circle as far as
Chicago on a- weding tour, and on
Sept. 12 arrived in Scranton.
Settled in This City.
Mr. Lucas obtained a position In the
School of Mines conducted on Wyoming
avenue by the Colliery Engineer com
pany, and with his wife went to board
at 4:IH Wyoming avenue. In the mean
time Mrs. Johnson hud a warrant is-
used for his arrest and the authorities
of Valparaiso traced him to Howard
and then to this city.
A week ago a letter was received by
the editor of The Tribune from Attor
ney Grant Crumpackor, of Valparaiso,
asking if Lucas was In the city. A pho
tograph and accurate description of the
man accompanied the iletter. Lucas
was readily located on Wyoming ave
nue and the matter was put In the
hands of Chief-of-Police Simpson and
Mr. Crumpacker notified that his
man was here. Thursday the latter
gentleman, accompanied by Deputy
Sheriff Green, of Porter county, Ind
arrived in the city with requisition
papers, and yesterday morning the ar
rest was made.
Lucas was thoroughly surprised but
made no objection to accompanying
Ollleer David Roche to police head
quarters, where his wife visited him ti
short time later. She wns much over
come and broke down and cried when
she saw her husband under arrest.
At 10 o'clock Lucas was taken before
Judge Gunster to have the requisition
papers properly indorsed. The accused
was represented by Attorneys Joseph
O'Krlen and W. H. Jessup, jr. An ap
plication was made for a writ of habeas
corpus in his behulf which Judge Gun
ster issued nnd made returnable at
1.30 in the afternoon. Lucas' pretty,
tear-stained wife sat beside him, but
appeared to have the fullest confidence
that her husband would vindicate hint
self.
Tho Afternoon Hearing.
Lucas was taken back to police head
quarters and at 1.30 made his appear
ance in court again with his attorneys.
Mrs. Lucas was also present, and her
face showed that she had spent the
interval between tho hearings in cry
ing. Attorney O'Brien asked for the dis
charge of the accused from custody on
the ground that no copy of tho Indict
ment on Information accompanied the
governor's warrant. This Mr. O'Brien
contended constituted a defective rec
ord, and on the strength of it he asked
for the discharge of Lucas. District
Atorney Kelly opposed the motion and
said that the governor's wnrrnnt issued
in pursuance to information filed with
him constituted a prima facia case
against the licensed so far as the court
here was concerned.
Mr. O'Brien said thnt n cerlifieir copy
of the Information should accompany
the warrant, and he also held that they
had a right to go into a hearing as to
the merits of the case. Judge Gunster
decided to hear testimony bn the ques
tion of whether or not Lucas was a
fugitive from justice, which he decided
was all there was for him to consider,
and the accused was called to the
stand.
He admitted that he frequently vis
ited Mrs. Johnson's homeat Valparaiso,
Ind., to cull on the lady g grand
daughter, and said that on these visits
Mrs. Johnson repeatedly asked him if
he could Invest some money for her.
At length he decided to do so, and re
ceived from her sums 'aggregating
2,400.
Lucus Gave His Nites. '
By the agreement between them
Lucas was to Invest the money as he
saw lit and pay Mrs. Johnson one-half
of tho amount earned. To protect her
from possible loss he gave her his notes
for the amounts received. One of these
notes, lie said, became due several
weeks ag.t. It has not yet been paid.
Lucub Bald that he realized $400 from
the Investments made and Informed
Mrs. Johnson that he hud $200 ready
to pay over to her. She said she did
not want It then and that he could
keep It and pay It to her with the rest.
He honored her wishes.
District Attorney Kelly asked Lucas
If he did not court Mrs. Johnson's
granddaughter. This was for the pur
pose of proving that Lucas had made
love to Miss Irwin for the purpose of
obtaining the money of her grand
mother. Judge uunster refused to
allow the question, but Lucas volun
teered the information, as he glanced
ut his wife, that he had never prom
ised to marry Miss Irwin.
Judge Gunster, In disposing of the
case, said that he did not see his way
clear to release Lucas. In his opinion
the warrant of Governor Pntttlson
wns sutllclent evidence on which to
make the arrest, and Lucas had admlt
teq thnt he was the man named In the
requisition paper, nnd alio that he !md
llimnclnl dealings with Mrs. Johnson,
the lady who accused lil-n.
"As to whether or not lie is gtil'.ty."
continued Judge Gunster, ''we have .o
lAiwer to Inquire. Thnt question must
be tried out In the forum where the
crime was committed. I remand Mr.
Lucas to the custody of the sheriff."
Lucas' attorneys filed exceptions to the
rullnus of the court.
Off for Iitdlunu.
An hour after Lucus was remanded
to the custody of the sheriff by Judge
GunBter he was turned over to Deputy
Sheriff Green, of Porter county, Ind.,
who took his man to police headquar
ters and kept him there until 12.10 this
morning; when they left for Valparaiso
on the express over the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western rnllroad.
Mrs. Lucas will go to Massachusetts
today and endeavor to have her rela
tives take an interest In her husband's
case and secure his release. The fol
lowing statement comes from Val
paraiso concerning the actions of Lucas
at that place:'
"About one and one-half years ago
Mrs. Lydla Johnson, 72 years old, the
widow of a Methodist mlnlstor, was liv
ing at- this ptos with her grand
daughter, IJlljjTWln, a prepossessing
young !udy of J a companion. Mrs.
Johnson's th Vablts had enabled
her to save f V.000, which she In-
B
tended as a dower for Lillie. At the
time the World's fair was In progress
Mrs. Johnson determined that the girl
Should have every opportunity to be
hold the exposition that has passed
into history as one of the wonders of
the world, and accordingly placed Lillle
in a boarding house close to Jackson
park, Chicago. There she met Lucas.
He is handsome and accomplished, and
his evident admiration pleased the sus
cepuuie gin.
Promised to Marry Win.
"She says she promised to marry
him and acquainted him with the finan
cial affairs of her grandmother. He be
came a frequent visitor to the John
son home at Valparaiso, and according
to the old lady's statement called her
grandma' and Lillie 'honey. Hfl told
them, sho alleges, that he had large
Investments in real estate In Chicago
and Denver, being there connected with
two multl-mlllionalres, Hall & Plerson.
who would buck him for anv amount.
He further told them thnt he was a
reporter on the Chicago Tribune, and
an ollicinl reporter In one of the crim
inal courts of Cook cotinty. III. Mrs,
Johnson further states that Lucas told
her that when he married she should
be until death an honorary member of
the housenom.
"About this time, his accusers allege,
Lucas whispered to Mrs. Johnson that
money could be made by Investing in
Chicago lots, and he soon had about
$3,000 of her money for that purpose,
giving her his note as security there
for, with his friend Hall as endorser,
Some time later he notified Miss Irwin
that he could never marry her and
ceased to visit Valparaiso.
"Then an Investigation was made and
it was found thnt there was no such
firm ns Hall & Plerson In Denver; that
Lucas owned no real estate in Chicago,
and that he had not been employed on
the Chicago Tribune as a reporter.
Mrs. Johnson at once determined to
prosecute Lucas and swore out war
rants charging him with larceny, em
bezzlement and obtaining money under
false pretenses."
Lucas said yesterday nt police head
quarters that he had no Intention of
detruding Mrs. Johnson and that he
would have married Miss Irwin had not
the young lady's conduct made it lm
possible.
