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 "

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:

(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

There was an increase in the mini

hysician by the ohl fashioned scales,
ulled down just eight ounces.
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. It was scarcely inches

set, fully developed. It cried lustily,

Such a chubby little face, with sparkng,

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. Few'hare
