was At the of his sudden and distressful taking some people what I hereafter all udo tlie impression that somebody in the Nathan household was responsible for death of this as revolting as the murder itself came this shocking Think of one of his oun flesh and blood had perpetrated the that the the brothers and sisters of young Washington knew in their heart of hearts that Washington Kathan as no more guilty of the murder of his than his father was guilty of the murder of his and so manifestly expressed themselves in the strongest yet some newspapers from time to time continue to make some allusion to this unwarranted and it is for this reason I think the at present the Lest to stamp as absolutely false in conception and equally false in the story that was so cruelly invented at the 1 do this from the standpoint of actual and this is my sole excuse tor what Nathan family lived in a handsome house on Twenty-third street New York next to the The extension to the parlor was used for a sleeping in the back stood the safe in which were kept only the family silver and but also a large sum of money and many valuable for there were no Safe Deposit Companies in those It was in the month of 1870, that the murder The family were out of town Long I believe old Nathan tiad returned to New York to take in some ceremonial which his He retired at bis customary hour to his bed in the which I have and early the next morning his body was found lying close beside the great safe in the middle He had been murdered during the for the body was and the carpet was stained with blood which flowed from a ghastly wound in his Reside him biy an iron an instrument used by heavy in the and tapering olf to a sort of prong at either It was covered with blood and had used to crush the old The police were notified at as the news spread through the city that the wealthy and highly respected Nathan had been found brutally murdered in his own the street was almost immediately besieged by a crowd of eager who tried in vain to pass through the cordon of policemen who were stationed on the sidewalk to guard the Superintendent Jourdan was summoned and came at He made a careful inspection of the body and its and Indeed of the whole and each one of the domestics to a searching and rigid cross-examination as to his or her whereabouts on the night of the At the inquest very little could be Washington the son of the murdered testified that he had not been at home at all that and then admitted that he had been at a disreputable house kept by a certain Irene McCready at 104 East Fourteenth a house in which two or three hideous tragedies had already Young Nathan was at this time one of the best known ot the young men about He had an extremely handsome face of the Hebraic soulful eyes and was enjoying life with all the zest of accordance with the old established Jewish all the members of the and their connections were summoned to the house of as is the custom with orthodox they literally rent their garments and for three days sat in sackcloth and in ashes in token of their sorrow and abject It was during this period of self abasement that a certain reporter called at the house and t/f denied When he endeavored to force his way inj the door was unceremoniously slammed in his He went back to his the next issue of the paper he represented contained a long and sensational article which sough t to prove th at lien jam in Nathan had been killed by his Tho fact that the young man had spent the night in question at a notorious had already strong against that a many people were only too ready to accept this theory as the correct There were wh o that his beind there at the nave to almost any lu the and if he had een privy to his father's and aware of the fact that he was liable to be called upon to prove an he would have taken particular pains to be found in good company and in of unquestioned the story spread as if it wore the seven league boots attributed by tradition to and in spite of all that could be done by Mrs. Nathan and the other members of the family who know tho voung man to be and in the absence of any proof positive to the young Wash Nathan was very many believed to be his father's It is more for the purpose of righting an innocent man than for anything that I have consented to give this narration to the every effort was maae to find the real Superintendent Jourdan took the case in but although innumerable arrests were made and innumerable clues followed the affair a complete the anxiety and trouble incident to this murder were the cause of Superintendent Jourdan's death in October of that It was perhaps a fortnight the murder that Mr. Jourdan into our and handed me a letter which he had received in his morning's It was from a convict named George who was then in Sing and who declared that if he could bo brought to the city he would establish the identity of the Nathan To do this it was necessary to act with the greatest secrecy so as not to allow the criminal or any of the reporters to find out what we were tinti too uring tue matter before the and any action by the District Attorney's would have the same at Mr. Jourdan's I applied for a writ of habeas corpus on the grounds of some informality in his Ellis was brought to the city and lodged in tho basement of the Sixth Precinct at No. 9 Franklin a by the from which Matt Inspector himself and a dozen moro famous police and detective have told us that if Ave show him the carpenter's dog with which the was committed he thought he could identify the then sent to the hardware stores and junk shops and procured about twenty-five iron all shapes and he smeared with blood and threw them on the table where real instrument Ellis was into tho room and without an hesitation picked with which Nathan had been Then ho said that sometime before his t to he and a certain burglar named George Forrester had planned to rob the Nathan Murder was no part of their for they had intended to commit the crime in tho summer during the absence of the and it was a mero accident ho which led his pal to select a night on which the old happened to be at His theory was that finding himself surprised at his work by Nathan and fearing that he give the had killed him with one vigorous the He knew the he because it was one with which they had often worked Mr. at once put two expert detectives on Forrester's but he was to be had not been seen in any of his accustomed haunts since the night of the and for two years his whereabouts remained an impenetrable but authorities never relaxed the of their and at was sometime in 1S72he was hunted down in a remote part Of Texas and brought back to the city by Detective Phil He was taken to police headquarters and heid for on the morning succeeding the night of the Nathan a young Catholic on her way through Twenty-third street to early saw two men come hurriedly down tho steps of tho Nathan mansion and disappear with a

the court room when she was brought in and asked if lie wore the man that she had seen running the steps of the Nathan house on that August morning in 1870. 1 have never seen greater agony depicted on a human face than was his as he stood up in the crowded court room and subjected himself to her searching The perspiration stood out on his forhead in great beads and his hand the back of a ch air before him with a force that almost shattered the frail The girl looked at him for fully ten minutes and then shook her head in a hesitating way and said that although she believed him to be the still as two years had elapsed since the morning that she saw she could not be As soon as this ordeal viras Forrester sent for me and confessed that he owed fifteen years in 111. He me to send him back and so instigation I notified the authorities of that prison and he was brought to Illinois on a requisition from the Governor of that It was the first time in all my criminal experience that I had ever seen a man go with absolute relief and contentment to fill a fifteen sentence in States have never heard of either him or Ellis since that Washington Nathan is still though I understand that ho has never been quite the same man that he was before the shock of his father's death and the false accusation under which he has Irene McCready grew rich in her nefarious retired vate life and died some years Her house is now used as a The Nathan house remained for many years after the torn down make way for tho great express building which now pies its In I speak fully without i say that from I learned from Washington Nathan had no more to do with the killing of liis father than 1.
