A Fool who Wanted a Wife.
Mr. Jessop is a widower residing tu
Prlncton Ind., and lie wanted a wife,
This la nothing ttrnugo a many men have
tlie same desire, but Jcaaop believed in the
power of a furtune-tellor. lie la a good
Dittured man, and possesses aufllolen mon
ey to mnko him eligible aa a victim to such
aohemo aa waa laid for him. lie told his
atory to the Court :
" When I first mot Mra. Worton last fall,
she wanted to tell my . fortune and aald
that she would tell me many things that
would benefit me. First she aald she
would charge me 9-0, but If tho fortune
did not suit she would not oharge me any
thing. She explained, however, that It
waa necessary to bold In bor band a cortaia
urn of money tn ordor to portray and de
velop my whole fortune to me. Hlie named
the sum of f 0,000. I told ber I did not
have bo much money on hand. She then
went awAy and stayed a month or two.
When she came back she met me in my
woollen faotory and aald alio might get
along with $3,000. I told bor I could not
raise so much ready money at once and ahe
went away again. Bhe returned on a third
visit and said ahe could probably get
through with the fortune if I could let her
hold 2,000, but that it was very desirable
that I should add something to that sum.
This last conversation was in December.
In January she called again, and then I
agreed that she might tell my fortune.
I went to the bank and got $2,000 in four
packages of $300 each. I afterward added
f 125 to it on her assurance that it would
make the charm work better. I bandod
this money to Mrs. Worton at my mill.
She then aekod me if I had a handker
chief. I bandod ber oue and ahe wrapped
the money up in it, tied it up with a pecu
liar kind of knot, aud then went through
some strange maneuvers, peculiar signs,
made strange gestures, and talked to her
self in a language 1 could not understand.
Bhe did not tell my fortune. Bhe aald it
would require time. It was a bard case,
and the perils hanging over me were great.
She gave me the handkerchief containing
the money, and told me to keep it and not
look iuto it niyBelf nor Buffor any one else
to do bo. I took It, kept it in a trunk un
til she came back about a week afterward,
and then I gave it to ber again. She open
ed the handkerchief; I aaw the money. She
went through the same mancuuvers as be
fore, tied up the money again, and told me
to keep it as before. This was repeated three
or four more times after this. The last
time she acted more strangely than at any
previous time. She opened the package,
went through some strange sort of talk,
then arose from her Beat, went toward the
door, then north, then south, all the while
holding the package in her band. As yet
Bhe had net told my fortune, but at each
time she promised to do so at the next
meeting, after our last meeting I kept the
handkerchief as usual until after the time
she bad again promised to return. I be
gan to suspect about this time that all was
not right, I opened the handkerchief and
found strips of brown paper the Bame size
as bank bills. Our last meeting was on the
0th of February last."
On the cross-examination Mr. Jessop
added : " I might have said I would pay her
well if she would bring about a marriage,
but I did net agree to pay her $2,125. I
had great confidence that Mrs. Worton
would use the money for my benefit. It
waa understood that she was to get me a
woman."
The next time Mr. Jessop saw tho
woman was in Brooklyn after her arrest
She there told him, he said, that she had
not stolen the money, aud that Intended to
return it. He recovered $1,200.
Deputy Sheriff R. T. Tingle testified
that after he had made the arrests in
llrooklyn Mrs. Worton admitted to him
that she had got the money, but that it
was on a contract with Mr, Jessop that for
that sum she would procure a wife for him
and that Bhe was to have till May 1 to do
this ; that she would have returned to Indi
ana before that time, and would have carri
ed out the bargain, bad she not been arrest
ed. Mr. Jessop, said in court that she wholly
failed to tell his fortune, and that he yet
did not know what it was.
The jury retired at 9 o'clock at night,
and did not render a verdiot nntil the next
morning. They declared Timothy Worton
not guilty. The verdict in regard to Mrs.
Worton was as follows :
We, the jury find the defendant guilty,
as charged in the indictment, and assess
her punishment at a fine of $1,00, and
that she be cent to the penal department of
the reformatory for five years.
A motion for a new trial is to be argued.
The names of the two widows were care
fully kept out of the proceedings at the
trial.
Mr. Jesaop's account to his friends of the
manner in which the brown paper slips
were substituted for the money is that
after the gypsy bad come out of ber trance
on her last visit, with the bundle of money
in the palm of her hand, she said :
Now, Mr. Jessop you roust turn around
and get on your knees and pray. .
lie is not a professor of religion, but he
did as she requested, and be thinks that It
was at this time that she probably made
the exchange.
