A Pennsylvania Forgor I'ecognizcd l)j Ills Photograph?His Career inColitinbin Hnsiness Ciicles and in Columbia Society?A Clmreli-floer and a Lady's Man?Married, hut Passes as Single-He Escapes and is Kccaplured. The News and Courier Bureau, ) 103 Main Street, Columbia, May 19.f In the early part of last winter a young man calling himself C. A. Hrockford came to Columbia, llo looked intelligent and sharp, dressed well and did not work at any thing in particular. On the 23d of February he called at the Branch Oflice of the JVckw and Courier and paid for an advertisement to the effect that ho wanted good lumber in any quantity and that the highest market price would be paid for it. He stated that lie had come to Columbia from his homejn Pennsylvania in order to restore his health, which had been impaired, and had found the climate so beneficial to his lungs that ho thought he would remain here permanently. He saw "millions" in the lumber business, he said, and intended to work it up. fvuuiii h nioniii ago Mr. u. A. lirockford's advertising attracted tho attention of Messrs. Lorick & Lowrance of this city, who entered into an arrangement with him whereby they were to pay hiin a commission on all orders for lumber lie obtained for them. After this he used to write his letters in their oflicc. They found him very intelligent and business-like, and paid hiin commission on several orders. CHAl'TEU TWO. Yesterday 07ening City Petectivo Ogg was sitting in tho piaz/a of his house glancing ovov a circular he had received froin a detective bureau giving a description of a forger for whom a reward was offered and bearing a photographic representation of him. While so engaged a hack passed the house and the detective, looking up, beheld in it the original of the photograph lie held in liis hand. Tho person in the hack was Mr. C. A. Brockford, lumber broker, with headquarters at Columbia. Ull A I'TER TJIUKE. Detective Ogg preceded to the store of Lorick it Low ranee, where lie know that Brockford was u frequent visitor, lie found him there, and induced some one to engage him in conversation that tie might note peculiarities which had been referred to in t'ie circular. These peculiarities were that when in conversation Brockford had a nervous manner and constantly put his hnnd up to his chin. Observing these traits, the detective waited until Brockford had entered Wright's Hotel to get his supper. lie then walked up to him thrust the photograph in his face and told him that he was ''wanted." By bis agitated manner Brockford betrayed himself. He declared, however, that the photograph represented u cousin of his. Then he asked leave to take his supper, the detcctive watching below. Permission was given. On his return from supper Brock ford asked to be allowed to go to the closets at the rear of the hotel. Believing that there was no rear exit to the building, Mr. Ogg let , him go. As Brockford did not appear after a few minutes the detective hunted for him and found that lie had escaped through a door in the rear of the hotel- , Ho went to his boarding house and found ; that Brockford had anticipated him by a few minutes, having reachod tho house, , changed his hat and departed with his gripsack. . , CHArTKIl FOt'R. i About 10 o'clock this morning a negro I iiackman cainc to the store of Lorick it I Lowrance with a note from Brockford 1 ulrlmeerwl f a \T Will ***** - v _ .v...vaavu ?v? itu. urn, muir casnier. ( l'hc note had no date or signatruo. l'hc fugitive asked Mr. Hill not to lose confidence in him, as he hud got into t .his difficulty by trying to protect . ;omc one else, lie would, lie said, go iway quietly and straighten up things ind it would be all right again before ^ ong. He asked Mr. Hill to tako n jigned check, which ho enclosed, to the Uentral Bank, draw the balance he had ! >n hnnd, and send it to him by the Siackinan. The amount was $517. Mr. Hill replied that as thing9 looked pretty lark about him he must decline to implicate himself in the fugitives doings, , ind Kent tho check back. The hackman, it seems, was not followed, so that , Brockford'H hiding placo was not ascertained. There was a great deal of critijism of Detective Ogg on tho streets, ind he was cited to appear at the mayor's jourt to-morrow morning. CHAPTBB FIFTH. / . I 8heriff Rowan, when he heard of tho DRcape, thought ho wonld try his hand. So this morning with Deputy Maguire ho droyo about tho outskirts.of tho city' looking for traces of Brockford. IIo^ was unsuccessful. This afternoon he renewed hts search and about 4 o'clock stopped near a house which he suspected and tho city. MWWW , Pretty soon ft hack from Columbia stoppod nt the house and after a pause at the door proceeded on its way toward the railroad crossing beyond tho junction. It passed close to where the sheriff and his deputy were in hiding and they stopped simultaneously out of ambush and halted the hack4 taking position one one on each side of it. Sure enough llrockford was inside. lie stopped out without a struggle. 11 is mustache had been shaved off and lie wore a pair of gogles. When he recognized the sheriff, he said : Jts no use to dodge any longer; I've got to tho end of my rope; 1 haven't long to live anyhow. Do bo easy on me." And then he collapsed and ihoaned in utter despair while ho was being taken to the jail. At tho jail, acting under the advice of Mr. W. It. Monteith, who will bo his counsel, he refused to bp interviewed, lie is in a state of great mental depression. On a card found in his pocket he had written "Life's dream is o'er.'' On his person were found a f-handful of morphine pills and a bottle of opinm, tho ^ 11- ?- .1 ?? ? ? " ? - |)iiih inducing uie ocuei tnat He whs addicted to tho use of opiates. Silver to tho a., u.it of $2 40 constituted nil of his cash. Ho declared that ho did not know where he had intended to go although he must havfc4 meant to hoard one of the afternoon trnins at the crossing. He did not state where he spent last night. OlIAPTEU SIXTH, Although he has been alumher broker here Iirockford has ever since he came to Columbia done soino business as n piano and organ agent. For a long time ho boarded lit Mrs. Tieatlcn's but latterly had a room at Capt. Lowranco's and took his meals at Wright's Hotel, lie was quite a churchman and it is said presented an organ to tho Chapel of the , tiood Shepherd, alluding to having given a thousand dollars to a, New York church, llu passed as a single main and his manner was very gentlemanly he had society opportunities. On Friday evening he took a young lady to the College fete champetro and on Sunday night joined sweetly in a duet nt ( Wright's Hotel. He spoko of having n . plenty of money. The circular on which the arrest was made came from the Perkins Union l)e- j tective Agency, Pittsburg, Pn. It oftVr- , cd one hundred dollars reward for the apprehension of Charles A. Uoyd, charg- . ed with forgery. No details of the offence are statod. The circular, which is , dated May 12, goes on to describe Hoyd as a piano and organ dealer, nge 30, height five feet six inches, church Protestant ) Episcopal, eyos dark, small and deep ( sunken, hair and mustache dark, weight ] 115 to 120 pounds, small foot, No. 5 shoe, pale, sallow complexion, slender build, nervous and quick spoken in conversation, with a habit of picking at his chin i while talking. | This is an exceptionally accurate de- 4 scription of llrockford. The circular proceeds to state that his wife's parents ( resided at Coxsackie, N. Y., and that his , former home was Greenville. Green County, N. Y. He was sent to Clinton State prison for two years, having been convicted of forgery. On his release he went to Watertown. N. Y., working for a music store, thence to Whitney & Currier, Toledo, Ohio, next to (J. K. Cook's, Byran. Ohio, next to 1). II. Baldwins & Co., Cincinnati, next to Hamilton's music palace, Steuhenville, Ohio. His wife left Steuhenville, in the lattor part of November, 1884, 'for Brooklyn, where she is now bcloivcd to reside. Boyd was last heard from in Washington, 1). C., October li), 1884. Brockford's trunk ind his small balance in bank were attached to-day at the instance of the proprietors of Wright's Hotel to pay for one month's board. N. u. a. The Hero of the Dime Novel in Ileal Life. C. A. Boyd, or Brockford, becomes on further acquaintance even more interesting than he was bofore. He occupied in ordinary cell in tho jail last night jnd was restless and sleepless. To-day tie spent bis time pacing up and down the corridorjot drooping helplessly in u j small rocking chair ho had procured, i To a meinher of the Bnr to-day ho i made a pretty full confession, lie had i col lapsed from tho first and remain id r utterly broken down, dojected, haggard i und shattered. This is the substance of < his Btory as it has been furnished to me. lie is a professional forgor and since < liis early youth has beorl connected < with a number of other professional 1 forgers. The members of the combina- i tion have understood each other in all < their dealings, havo worked together at times and havo afforded each other as- \ sistanco when detection cifaie. The mem tiers have boon bound not tooxposo L'?ch other, hut to bear alone whatever puuiKhmont tliey rer.oived. Boyd-bos boon cbricerru>d wl tb oth6r:s*irtkv<?ry lirgo i forgeries amounting to over $40,000; j The requisition'papers when sunt here* will not give any indei to the amounts he has obtained by tbia means. The particular offence for which be ia want c?l by the Pittsburg Detective Agency is "j a forgery fo?* several thousand dollars ( perpetrated 011 tlie Merchant's National Hank of Steubenville, Ohio. He .said to my informant that men like him, who had f been at war with the world, had no ex- j peetation of favor or sympathy when ( caught and might as well t;iko what came philosophically. Boyd told l)r. ^ Butler, who attended him this mommy, ^ that through taking morphine for a chronic stomach trouble he had become ( addicted to using it, and was in the habit of taking twelve grains a day. Being ^ deprived of the narcotic yesterday had t prostrated him. Dr Butler recommended that he he allowed for the present three grains a day decreasing the allowance by degrees, and he was according- ^ ly given three of his pills to-day. Under the provisions of Section 2,(520 n of the General Statutes, Sheriir Rowan 'j to-day applied to Justice Marshall for / a warrant for Boyd, charging him with j] forgery in Pennsylvania. Boyd was 0 brought from jail by the sherill' and n ( deputy, and taken to the justice's offico. He was verv feeble and had tn lw? i supported. lie was represented by Mr. i W. S. Monteith, and waived exnimna- (] tion. He was, therefore, committed to <1 jail for twenty days to await the arrival g of the Pittsburg officer with no neces- <| sary papers. He seemed scarcely able t to walk back to the jail, even with the f assistance of an otlicer. e I called on the prisoner this evening, 1 ond told him that the columns of the 2Yews and (,'ouric: were open for any s statement or interview he desires to s imiKi! lioyu was sitting in liis rocking 1 chair in the corridor, his head leaning " wearily against the bark of the chair. 8 lie recognized inc and spoke very faint- 1 ly. Thanking ine for the oiler, he ^ moved his head limply and his ej'es fre- s quently closed as if he were drowsy. 1 This is what lie said : s "i am here and everbody knows it. K I've played my game and lost. It was a ' bold position I took, but I took it with l1 open eyes and I don't expect any svin[?atl?3*. If 1 were to say anything it * ' would be construed into an appeal for ^ sympathy, ami i don't deserve any from the people of Columbia. So I don't think it is worth while for me to say Anything. People wouldn't believe it M von know. I went nito mi* mmlo ?f b lifi: with open eyes, and I must take s what I get. I shan't live lur;; anyhow. 11 What I (lid was for a good purpose, and 11 in a short time I would haw realized it. ^ So, 1 can't tell yon what the purpose P was, but I'vi not done harm with what 11 [ made. I've given freely to the poor, \nd 1 mean't to do good. What hurts inc worst is the elfect this will have on the people here who have hcen very l> kind to ine, and I fuel it very surel}*." n At the remark that he seemed to he a T philosopher, lloj-d's face showed a tj .light smile. "Yes, I believe I am. a: I've been too much of a philosopher for g: Ti}' own good." Before I left him he tl (aid that he heard that there was a re- tl jort of his having been specially atten- If ive to young ladies in Columbia. UI gi ivan't you, please, if you hear anything p )f the kind, to say that it is an entire p nistake. I have never allowed xiyself ;o ue so. i only mingled cnough'in so- u riety to disguise my i?lcntity and there <1 [ stopped." Boyd's drowsiness seemed, el ,o increase and I left him. ei There is reason to believe that during u [ioyd's residence in Columbia various l< 'orgeries have been committed by him, f( jut lor various reasons the fects arc ji vithheld for the present. They will V loubtless be made public in a day or v wo. The operations nro understood to si lave been connected with his nro-mi n: - - 0 igcncy business. u Sheriff Rowan lias received a dispatch ai 'rora the Pittsburg detective agency is itating that an officer had left on the w rain with tho necessary papers and re- r< vard, and instructing him to hold lioyd it all hazards. This officer will prob- t< ibly arrive hero to-morrow. There will b loubtlcss be some interesting proceed- fi ngs. The limit of punishment for for- s1 jcry in Ohio is much wider thun that in a south Carolina. ir Even if lioyd had not collapsed and w idmitted guilt, evidence discovered this w norning would have made his identity ;lcar.

An eight ounce baby, alive and kickig, was a thing so uncommon in the oetor's practice that he sank back in n hair astonished, then arose disappointil and laid the child by the side of its lother.

A PKKTTY M l it DURESS A Highly Sensational Trial At LouIh* villc, (in. liOinsvn.i.E, Ga., May 15.?Tho Superior Court of Jefferson County is at pressent engaged in the trial of a scnsatianal murder case, iu which a young woman is standing at tho bar of justice. Miss Elvira Ivey was at one time a leaderin Jefferson society, but an indiscretion closcd the doors of many people aerainst her. A suit was pending against Solomon Jones, the object which was tc conapol him to restore Miss lvey's good namo by marriage. The suit was to be called in court on Monday morning. On the Sunday morning proceeding, however, the community was thrown into intenso excitement by tho news that the doad body oT Mr. Jack McCauley, one of the wealthiest farmers of Warren, hud been found under tho window of Miss lvey's room. A bullet had pierced his temple* In his loft hand was clutched a bundlo of bank bills, amounting to $1,500. When Miss lvey told the story of tho dead man's presence their excitemcnt was greatly increased. She alleged that McCauley was a friend of Jones, and that the object of his visit was to induce her to withdraw her claim against his friencL Aon < ' '* ' * jin n iuv.-iiii.-i id iicuuuipiisn mis lie protested his own lovo for hor, showed her tho rolls of bills, ami urged her to fly to Texas with him. As McCnuley had r living wife and seven children, Miss Ivey reminded him of his duty toward them. With an oath the desperate man declarod that he intended that Miss Ivey rdiould either elope with him or suffer death, at the same time making a motion to enter tho window. Instantly the bullet from \tr ?- - ; ' ? . miss iwj s pisioi compelled mm to release liis hold from the window, nnd ho foil hack dead. To her father and brother, who were brought to the spot by the pistol's report, she tohl the story and declared that the whole movement was >i plot to save Jones in the approaching trial. The discovery of a package of letters, however, in the posession of McCauley did fiot accord with the girl's statement. In these letters, covering a period of over, a year proceeding the killing, and contemporaneous with her tntamsiy with .rones, phe writes in the most endearing use among loves are used, and cominj?. manner to TtlcCauley. All tho terms in from a single girl to a man whom sho know to l>e married, they are very damaging. In one of these letters, supposed to lie the last, though not dated, assent is given to the proposition to elopo to Texas, and the night upon which the killing took place is designated as the time. Why, then, did Miss Ivey kill him Instead of flj'ing with him? This is the mystery. Her letters establish her intimacy with him. That ho was not on speaking terms with Jones owing to their rivalry, was well known. Tho only explantion which has been given, and one which has been widely published through the State, is thatMcCauley wan an expected caller at the window that night ; that the noise of the couple in removing articles through the window awaked a third party, who, seeing a man in an improper place, fired, killing him ; and that, seeing the mischief done, Miss Ivey assumed tho crime as a shield for the third party. Kver since the crimo was committed the community has been stirred up with sensational reports, in which names have boon variously used. Miss Jvey, as she sits in the court room, is an object of decided interest, boing a woman of great beauty. Louihvii.i.k, May 16.?The jury has brought in a verdict of voluntary manslaughter against Miss Elvira Ivey, charged with the murder of Jack Mc Oauley, in this County, on the night of the 12th of December, 1884. Sinco Thursday at noon, the court aoom has been crowded with spectators from Jofferson and contiguous Counties. Much of the time was taken up in argument on the admissibility of certain letters v claimed by the prosecution to have been written by Miss Ivey to McCauley, expressing Affection for him, and avowing her roadiness lo skip with him, though a innrricd man. The letters wero admitted as evidence, though containing no address or signature. Mrs. McCauley heavily veiled with the deepest black, testified as to said letters being in posea?ion of hnr husband at the time of his donth. Miss I voy, in her statement, confessed that she did the shooting, bat under fear thnt the murdered man intended to kill her. Sol. Jones, who is now being proaccuted in Warron Superior Court for the alleged seduction of Miss Ivey, appeaared as witness in court.
