New York, Deo. 32. The whole story
ot the Wiechera' family oonneotlon with
tho wrecked Arm of Field, Ltndley,
Wlochers & Co. is slowly coming out,
and promises to be exceedingly Inter
esting when nil is told. It is now said
that the members of the family who
lire in Germany are actually so
destitute through tho operations of
Field that they havo not-money enough
to pay their passage to this country,
even though less than two years ago
they were heirs to s million and a half
dollars worth of property. Georgo V.
Wlechers, of Porto lileo, is said to still
possess some moans of his own.
The money of the Wlechers family
came, bo the Btory goes, from n rich
relative, William A. Wlechers, who
dying n few years ago, loft something
liko $1,003,000 to his relatives. A
large portion of thlt moaoy, it is now
said, was put into tho hunds of young
Wiechors, aud by him invested In tho
Fleld-Llndley enterprise.
John T. Wiechers became acquainted
with Field th-ottgh his German friend,
Hlllmyers, afterward a mombor of the
firm, and, having plenty of money,
i was auie to loin witu t'told in the ex
1 pensive pleasures of yachting and other
sports.
There are now four indlctmonts
against Edward II. Field; one for for
gery and three for grand larceny, two of
tho latter having been presented yester
day. Of theso two tho first charges that
on Nov. 4 Frank J. Snracue borrowed
of FleU, Ltndley & Wiechors the sum
of $25,000, for which he gave as collat
eral 300 shares of General Electric stock.
On the same day Field instructed the
firm's brokers, Howard Lapsley & Co.,
to dispose of the stock for the firm's ac
count. Tho stook was sold, and then
Field, through the same brokers, bought
up 200 shares of the stook In his own
I name.
The following day Spraguo was asked
to put up 50 more sharos ot the stock
as collateral, and these additional
shares, according to the second indict
ment, were feloniously taken by Field
after the manner of the first Instalment.
When Mr. Gould will be able to make
a public statement of the condition of
the firm's affairs is a matter of groat
uncertainty.
At the Ludlow Street Jail this morn
ing it was said Field had acted moro
llKe an Insane man yesterday and to
.ijr th.niat. arm tlnio'slncohe was locked
up. lueld refused to touch food ot any
kind yesterday, and up to 10 o'clock
this morning had taken no nourishment
Bince Saturday. Ills only drink is ice
water, which he takes in small quanti
ties at frequent Intervals.
All day yesterday and again this
morning he complained of pains in his
head, lie is constantly rubbing his
head with his hands. He does not talk
and Booms annoyed when anyone speaks
to him. Ho answers all questions with
a simple yos or no or a shako of tho
hend. He slept very well last night,
but did not nppear refreshed this morn
ing, and complained of tho pain in his
head.

THE CHAVES TRIAL,
Testimony of tin. lien Upon Whom th
1'rnsectltlon Trusts Its Case.
Cuicaoo, Deo. 22. Mrs. Florenoe
Cuthbcrtson, a former soolety belle of
Chicago, was granted a divorce yester
day at Sioux Falls, 3. D. Her case is
remarkable. Sho was young, beautiful,
wealthy, and the wife of William Doue-
lass, a member of the Board of Trade of
Chicago.
About a yaar ago, Douglass, in look
ing throngh his wife's desk, found, he
pretended, some vory ardent letters
from a young real estato d ealer, Sidney
Cuthbertson. He hired a lawyer, and
the two conferred with his wife and
nttempted to browbeat her into a con
fession. They locked her in a room and
labored with her for several hours, but
without success.
A few days later Mrs. Douglass re
ceived notice to attend Judge Horton's
court and sign a deed. She wont, and
found In full progross a suit by her hus
band for divorce. This was her first In
timation of his lntontlon, and having no
time to employ counsel she wont on the
stand and denied tho charge of Infideli
ty. Cuthbertson was then called and
admitted It. Judge Horton promptly
granted tho decree, and ordered tho
wife and oo-respoudent to be married at
onco or bo punished to the full extent
of their alleged orltne five years in tho
penitentiary.
Mrs. Douglass, with tear?, pleaded
for froedom, but tho ludce. Cuthbert
son, Douglass, and the latter's attor
ney, tnreatenea hor until sho compllod,
to escape disgrace and secure posses
sion of her child.
Sho declared, however, that sho would
nevor live with her husband, and ex
claimed against the injustice of th
forced marriage. She lived undor Cuth
bertson's roof for four months, but
nevor ns his wife. At length his per
suasions becoming Intolerant she wont
to Sioux Falls and applied for a divorce.

New Yohk, Dec. 23 Edward I
Stoddard's forgery mill In tho Hudson
County Jail, where he has been a prls
otter since last August, has been very
busy of late, but the boldest effort that
he has made to raise money by the skil
ful use of his pen was tho scheme which
has just como to light to raise $1,300
by forging tho name ot Gov. -elect Mc-
Klnley, of Ohio. The victim selected by
Stoddard at this end of the line was El
llott F. Shepard, and the plot came
near bolng successful.
hBoveral days ago Col. Shepard received
a letter uoaring tne postmark: Uauton,
Ohio, and marked "private and confi
dential." Before reading; the letter he
looked at the signature and was flight
ed to see the bold signature of William
McKInley, Jr. After a few personal
matters the letter stated that Mr. Mc
KInley had become greatly interested in
a very bright young man, James S.
Wolfu by name, now confluod fcln tho
Hudson County jail for forgery.
Mr. McKinloy did not know tho boy very
well, but was intlmntoly acquainted
with his fathor, who was his school
mate.
The boy had ruined a bright prospect
of success as a lawyer br hard drinking
and association with thieves. Ho was
ou the stool of repentance now, felt
sorry for his misdeeds and had ex
pressed an earnost desire to reform. He
had been away from home for sovoral
years and hU mother mourned for him
as dead. Sho was surprised to get a
letter from him a few days before, In
which ho stated that he had tnado up
his mind to live honestly, and had
turned his thoughts to religion and
would hereafter take tho Bible as his
guide. Mrs. Wolfe could not stand her
son's piteous appeal for assistance, and
she called i.;ion Mr. McKinloy and do
posited 2,uj; : be sent to her son in
Instalments
Mr. Shepard directed to call up
Wolfo at the Hudson County Jail and
examine Into tho alleged reformation
of the young man. In order that there
should be no mistake made, a dozen
questions wero given which would make
tho Identification positive. These re
lated to Wolfe's birthplace, tho names
ot his parents and ancestors, the towns
In which thoy had lived, und the date
of birth and death and the burial place
ot some of the members ot his family.
In case all the questions were answer
ed correctly, which would bo a guaran
tee that Wolfo was the right man, Mr.
Shopard was to give him 1,200, which,
the latter hinted, was to be used in
bribing tho guards and jailor, so that
he could make his escape from the Jail
and from punishment for a crime that
he did not commit.
The letter dlrocted Mr. Shepard to
call upon Judge William D. Daly of
Hoboken, who would accompany him to
tho jail, but under no circumstances
wns Mr. Daly to bo told of the lottar or
receive tho money.
Iho letter was so plain and tho signa
ture of Mr. McKInley so porfoct that
Mr. bhepard was Inclined to send tho
money to Wolfe without further in
quiry, but on the following day he tele
graphed to Mr. McKinloy at Canton
asking if tho lotter was all right and
received a reply which indicated that
Mr. McKInley was puzzled and did not
know what Mr. Shepard was trying to
Und out,
Mr. Shepard gave the lotter tol his
lawyer, Robert C. Alexander. Mr.
Alexander could not see auy flaw In the
letter aud went with it to Judge Daly's
oflico in Hoboken. Tho judge did not
know anything about it, aud ho and
Mr. Alexander went to tho jail.
The prisoner is not known ns Stoddard
there. Whon arrested he gave the name
of John S. Wood, nnd two months lator
chnnged it to John S. Wolfe. Mr. Alex
ander was surprised at Stoddard's ap
pearance. Ho is over six feet high, aud
very well built, has an intellectual face
and a refined manner.
He was very shy at first and would
not talk, but finally admitted that he
had written to hU mother for help. Mr.
Alexander asked StoUdurd all the Ques
tions to Identify Wolfe, and ho answer
ed them all correctly. Mr. Alexander
tried to trip him up bv n severe cross
examination, but Stoddard was equal
to the test, and tho lawyer left with the
Impression that the letter was genuine.
He retained Judge Daly to look out for
tho prisoner's case and said he would
send him a chock for $200.
Judge Daly refused to acoept it, as he
