All thee tranvtctions were made with a man who waa conxtantly gathering money to bolp him ont of his chronic financial state. G. The Foard intimates, if it docs not clearly declare, that Mr.

These are propositiona which should at tract profouud attention. They are not made by this pepcr, but by an official l'oard, and are, therefore, legitimate for publication.

STICKS TO THE STORY The Sensational Abduction of Mamie She Still Swears That Shela Telling the Truth. Eitrj Effart to Hake Her Weaken Faila, And Little Light Has Tet Been Thrown on the Mystery.

Her Conditio Takes a Serious Tarn For the Worse. 8Tral Convulsion- Glva BUe Serious Fears. to Detectives Trying to Trace Her Uovs- menta Since llonday.

Headquarter detectives are working act ively in the case, and to them yesterday she related the same story she told when she fell fainting across her mother's doorstep on Thursday morning. All etlort to make her change it has proved in vain.

Kbe was too nervous to talk much yesterday, and aa she laid back among tbe pillows SOBWSO AMP OROAXISO It could not be expected that she would be clear about all things- When asked to scribe tne men who abducted her she said that she did not see either one of tbem. but that tbe man who drove tbe cab bad a slight German accent, while the one wbo seized her spoke in a deep, harsh voice, with the slight est Irish accent. Tbe police busied themselves looking for some clew which might lead to a solution of the mystery, bat tbe more ther probed into the matter tbe more mysterious it became. bereral contradictory statements were turned up until it became evident that either the girl was concealing facta of which she bad knowledce. or that some persons were endeavoring to do her injustice.

At the cigar factory on West Eighth street. where Mamie worked, it was learned tbat she had left there Monday night at about 5:20, which was at leant a half hour earlier than she was accustomed to leave. She asked tbe foreman to allow her to turn in ber work and go. aa she was in a hurry. To a girl companion who usually accompanies ber home, she excused herself, saying it would be some time before she would be ready to go home.

Police Judge Ermston listened to a strange story yesterday. fie was convinced that la the absence of k. aentenna man worth 170.000 to thirty days' imprisonment for loitering. After having satisfied tbat injustice bad been done His Honor consented to give tbe victim a new trial, and issued an order for him to be brought into Court this morning. He is a young man.

24 years old. and bis name is Seymour D. Trowbridge. About two months sgo he came to tnis eity with about S150. lie made Lis headquarters at Sanders' saloon and boarding bouse.

No. Central avenue. He TALKED YIBT UTTLB About himself, and it was only recently tbat the people in the house learned that ha was connected with a wealthy family in the northern part of tbe State. Last week young Trowbridge disappeared. Nothing was known of bis whereabouts un til yesterday, when a messenger from tbe Jail came to Sanders' I place to get Trowbridge's clothing.

It waa then learned tbat tbe young man nad been arrested for loiter ing, convicted in the Police Court and sen tenced to thirty days in JaiL Last Saturday Lawyer Foster, a prominent attorney of Cleveland, came to tbe city to see Sanders. He told a story which not only corroborated Trowbridge's claims that be was wealthy, but threw light on the young man's peculiar conduct. Foster said tbat be held in trust for Trowbridge property and money to tbe amount of fully 170,000. It had been left to tbe young man by bis grandfather, a rich old farmer who lived near Paynevilie. Ohio.

A similar amount had been bequeathed to bis sister. who was married to a prominent citizen of Cleveland. It seems that a streak of in sanity runs through tbe family. Young Trowbridge is the most pec uliar of them all He took a STRAKOk PI8LIKB TO BIS RXLATIVg. And would not only bare nothing to do with theril.

but would not touch a cent of the money left by bis grandfather. Iu order to provide for his wants considerable du plicity had to be used. Foster would get persons to hire him and ray tne wages nut of Trowbridge's income. He bad started him in business, but tbe young man proved so erratio that nothing could be done with bim. Foster said tbat if a respectable young woman could be found who would marry Trowbridge be would place the letter's en tire estate in her name.

His mental afflic tion waa such that it could be only cured by matrimony, and the family was willing to give a fortune for a wire who would look after the young man and care for bim. Fos ter was greatly worried when he learned of Trowbridge's disappearance, and made arrangements with Sanders to soars no ex pense in finding and earing for bim. It was through representations to this ef fect tbatjudtfe Ermston consented to give tbe young man a new trial. When convicted his condition was such tbat the Judge exer cised bis power to send him to Jail ins tead to the Work House. Trowbridge's mind is evidently unbal anced, but his mania certainly is most peculiar.

Attorney Foster has left instruc tions that be be provided with every luxury but. owing to the young man's infirmity, the money has to be conveyed to him as if be earneo. n. i ne very s.sui ot m. or 'n'm "row.
