We did not like the appearance of things and telegraphed to tli¢ Pinkerton de- tectives in Ohicago for their opinion. While awaiting this we made an inves- tigation, * During my absence from the office Dr. Meyer and Mrs. Baum called to collect the $3,500 of our indemnity, but on finding that we were making an investigittion they hurriedly left the city, leaving a check for §1,000 in the Etna company's office, just across the street, which they wight have had for the asking. We made up our minds that we would wait for them to call again, and had they done so I think we would havé paid thew the §3,500, as up to this time we bad no basis for our suspicions. But our suspicions were first substantiated by their flight from the city, and soon after that the head of our department stopped in Chicago aud visited the office of the Piukertons, who showed lim through the rogue's gallery, and he at once re: 1t was further found that on May 1, Dr. Meyer had visited the Chicago office, cleaned out everything nnd left for parts tnknown, We then had the body of Badin, alias Brindit, exhumed. A photograph and specimen of his handwriting was sent toa Norway and i dns To who made a carefal analytical autopsy of the remains, finding unmistakable evidence that the deceased was poison- ed. The character of tlie poison is so 'toebthmoti that I doubt if it 'has ever been used before. Bit as to that fact Dr. Doremus will testify in court. It was only after a long search that the proof as to the poisoning was fully established, but six weeks ago, having our evidence compiete, I started on a hunt for Dr. Meyer, 1 first went to Ohicago; and after being there for two in Toledo. I went to Toledo, and, exhibiting photographs of Dr. Meyer, he was identified as Hugo Weiler and girl named Mary Neiss, and tried to insure her in our company as Mrs Weiler, but it fell through. Then Mrs. Weiler took Mary Neiss to De- troit and got her insured in the Equit- able Life for $6,000. Weiler then went from Toledo to South Bend, Ind., and started a bucket shop. He arrang- ed with his partner to defraud his customers, the plan being for the part- ner to skip out and Weiler to announce that he had taken the funds, This the partner did, but before leaving Mary Neiss was taken sick, and he warned ber that she was being poisoned. It was doubtless only a well-founded guspicion, Lut was suflicient to effect the purpose, and Mary Neiss escaped from the doctor and his wife. The doctor was imprisoned for one month at South Bend on account of his bucket shop crookedness, and on being liberat. ed, about Ohristmas, went first to Chicago and then to Indianapolis, In the latter city in January, 1893, he hired a girl whose name I have not been able to ascertain and took her to Toledo, where she figured us his wife and Mrs. Meyer ds his sister. «This girl was stricken and died. The doctor made u deroand upon the Equitable tompany for the $5,000 in- surance that had been placed on the life of Mary Neiss, expecting to be able to substitute the unknown girl for her who was frauduiently representing Mrs, Meyer. The Equitable cade an investigation and found that the women ce hired a horse'and buggy in Toledo, and, taking his wife, disappeared, It now appears that he csme to De. troit and has bell here ever since, T did 'not believe it possible that he would come to Detroit after his experi: ence with the Equitable of this city, and 80 I looked elsawhert Lil here. 0 very boldness of the mdn stitggers go the rdn hy "Det close and full view of the docfor with: out exciting his suspicions. The card in his window announced rooms to let. On pretence of engaging a room I went fn, saw him and talked with him, I thet securet the sbivices bf the local Bfficers, who effected liis arrest in a very skilful and creditable manner.' THE HISTORY OF MEYER, The history of Meyer is that of the consummate and crafty villain, so shielded with the cloak of romance that he has for years baffled the skill of the shrewdest detectives in the freedom, and while officers have been scouring the country in out-of-the-way places, Meyer has been living uncou- carned!y - inn the neighborhood of his operations, where he wils least shspect- ed to be. His career was opened in Ohicago uuder the most favorable cir cumstances, where he was respected as a physician in good standing. For séberal years he lived on the North side, and had a wide acquaintance, baving attained more than ordinary success in the treatment of children: The awful skill of the man can be understood from the fact that other physicians were unable to diagnose the symptoms of his patients, All the years of his hard study had been devot- ed to find a poison that would effectual- ly carry off his fellow-beings under the guise of a natural cause. The five Dr. Doremus, the celebrated chemist, weeks I found a somewhat similar case of Dennis Oswald, and in Toledo was ed him, as he became too Lold and victims that he is known to have pei- soned tell of his success, and it was only after manths of toil'that two of ed. It was his intention to do so, but establish the difference: mail that Detective Julian finally locat- became less cautious. Meyer's iron nerve was one of his chief character- istics, and even when arrested he never for a moment appeared disconcerted. When the insurance company insist: ed that the body at Toleda should be dug up he readily cousented, and even went so far as to be present when the body was taken .from the grave. Things then becawe too hot for him, and he quietly and mysteriously disap- peared, only to begin operations in another part of the conmtry. His heartlessness is apparent when the facts of the poisoning of Brapdt are looked into. Brandt was employed by him as a collector, and was a willing tool to the doctor's schemes, going so far as to enter intd> a mock mmarringe with his wife. The scheme was then unfolded to him that he was to get apparently sick, and at the proper moment a dead body was to be sub who died in Toledo was not the one who was insured: The company stop- ped right there. They did not even per appearing-as Mr. and inform the police, but one of the two doctors who attended the unkno®n|lure young girls in his death-trap. He girl some time after her death told the polige it looked like a case of murder. It was then that the matter became for his wife at I public. On April b last Dr. Meyer Scores of poor stituted for him, in order that the in- surance cculd be collected. But his ¢illainy in its trae light is sean 3h connection With his scheme to and voniting.

To his boldness he owes his country answered the advertisement, and a personal interview with the, doctot only strengthened their wish 0 enter his employ, With a most suave manner be would look his inteRHbA, victim over, and was most careful to select those whom he could mold to his views. Perljapi {he fiibst Benrtioed H56 : of all bis doings was the poisoning of, r girl do, who went t then asked her to carry Rer be and, be known as Mrs, Weiler, der the pretext that she was younger and sts ter looking, and would bettet nssieh the doctor. The unfortunate girl, not suspecti g finything cofisented, and thereby sign- ed her death warrant. = She was Mrs, Weiler just long enough for the neig' bors to become acquainted with that fact when he began to administer the deadly poison. It was a slow death but a sure one, and the poor girl went to her grave dn inkho¥n person. Some fond mother is looking for a letter froif her child who was forced away fromy her to earn a living and who promised, to write just as often as she could. Teo the mother her daughter simply disap peared and it is hardly possible that she can suspect the horrible fute with which she met. Perhaps the joother, still fiids comfort in the thought that her daughter will return or write to relieve her anxiety. E To the Mutual Life Insurante Sols, pany is due the greatest praise for funning down Meyer and his wife, x They lost nd thioney by his operations; but found that he was a daiigirbiy man, and decided that he should bs put where he could do no harm, De- tective Julian, who worked up the case, comes in for the greater share of thi praise, for it is due to his shift that, Meyer is now behind prison bars, officer started out a year behind him and in six weeks bad the satisfaction the most eminent chemists of the coun- s 3 -B neglected to have "the body of Baum, whose real name was Brandt, embalm- circumstanbes were such that he had to harry the buimal, and that important fector, which will undoubtedly lead him to the chair of electrocution, Was neglected. It has been proved beyond a doubt that the drug is a deadly metallic poison, but, as it wil! ba used as evidence, the authorities refuse to divulge the nature of it.

Toledo, Ohio, July 12.-- Hugo Wel- ier came to Toledo from Indianapolis last June. He wad of miedinm size, had light hair and ticdstdthe and bright blue eyes. He was unasually well educated, speaking English Gers wan and Latin fluently. He seemed particularly well versed in medicine and chemicals, frequently expluining to those with whom he talked what the properties of various herbs wergg and how they might be affected by chemitals; ete: Mr. WelltF was ne- sompatied by a woman whom he inf troduced as His wife.
