Sptdat OiaoaUh to The CMcago 7V(l»«»w.
Louisville, Ky., Sept. 2.—Tbo city baa boon
excited to-day over a first-class iusauo criminal
fiasco. Early in the morning, Itchra,
Toiler of tbo Planters' National Lank, presented
himself at tbs police-station with his clothes
tom la various places and pretending to be
severely wounded, entirely exhausted, and unable
to speak. Ly pantomime, and with the aid of a
slate, bo informed the officers that bo bad been
awakened at 2 in tbo morning by lour masked
men, who bad previously chloroformed bis wife,
and who compelled him, with many threats,
to accompany them by a circuitous
ronto to tbo bank, and, on ar
rival there, to open tbo door and unlock
(ho vault; that ou bis entering bo demanded
that they should not rob (bo bank, or, at least,
that they should bo content with a part of tbo
cash on band; that tbo robbers then became
furlons, and savagely attacked him with
knives, bo exhibiting, in support of bis
statement, a scratch on tbo boon and
a wound in tbo abdomen, which two
doctors, on tbolr arrival, found to be only skin
deep.
Bhom was carried homo la a market-wagon,
but, suspicion becoming aroused, was soon
brought to the Oalt House by tbo bank ofllcors
aod detectives. Ho was closely interrogated by
tho President and # Directors of
tho bank and tbo * detectives, but
until 3 In tbo afternoon continued
to adhere to tho original story with variations.
At last his pluck gavo way, and ho begged to be
allowed to sloop, promising to toll more when ho
had rested, lie slopt soundly somo time, and
then confessed that he himself had been
the robber, but requested until night to
return tho stolen property. 'Xbo request was
refused, and bo, after brief parley, yielded, and,
accompanied by tho Prosidont of tbo bank, bo
raised ouo of tho boards of his floor, aod, taking
from under It SOO,OOO In original packages and
SIO,OOO in bonds, handed them to tho President.
Ithom is now in lull, and public opinion is
divided os to whether be will bo sent to prison
or to a lunatic asylum. lUvom has been re
garded as a sober and reliable man, with a some
what reckless manner aod predisposition in favor
of amateur theatricals and muscular Christian
ity. His salary was only $1,200 a year, and ho has
boon speculating to somo extent, and is said to
have loot ou Investments in tho now Albany
street-railroad. President Duuoau, of tho
Planters’ Bank, states that be is yet unable to
tell tho exact balance* which should have
been in tho vault last night, but believed that It
cannot have greatly exceeded tbo amount recov
ered, and that tbo hsuk, which bos been closed
during tbo day, will have its doors open In the
morning.

a bloody episode in the quincy scandal.
■Sj-cesal to Thr Chtntga TrilMrtf,
Quincy, 111., Sept. 2.—Although for some tlmo
pant (ho feeling between (ho parlies to the
lloiTraan-Pronliefl scandal cauo and their re
spective paitiaaue ban boon rising to a pilch of
inteueo bittarncaa. nothing Uwl trauopiicd till

blood would bo tilted os a consequence of the in
vcotigation. Tho community wan accordingly
startled at an oftrlf hour this morning by tho
report that Judge T. J. Mitchell had boon Eliot.
As already telegraphed to Tun TmmrNC, Judge
Mitchell loeliCod yesterday that Mrs. Chattcn,
wife of E. P. Chalton. City Surveyor
of Quincy, had confessed to him
(Mitchell) that HolTraan had made Indecent pro
posals to her, mid U was on account of thib to*-
tmiony that Chattcn assaulted Mitchell txlay.
From tho statements of penman who wili.t-mat]
tko shooting allrsy this morning. U appears that
Chullon drove into tho business part of tho
city about H o'clock, and fur a short tlmo en
gaged lu conversation with Mr. Mr. Frank B.
Weber, n pander, doing business on Mam street
between Hixtli and Seventh street. Whiio
they wore talking Judge Mitchotl stepped off u
street-car and started north, Mr. Chattcn follow
ing. As they reached the corner of
Hampshire street Mr. Chattel) struck Judge
Mitchell with a driving whip, which he carried in
hiii hand. Tho latter caught tho whip with ono
hand, at Ihn same lime drawing a revolver with
tho other. Uo lived once*,when it was ascertained
that both rmm were armed, ns Mr. Chattel) also
shot, the ball taking ollect. Tills ho followed
up rapidly with tiro other ahots with equal stic
coas. Judge Mitchell also attempted to tiro sev
eral times, hut the caps snapped, aud ho was
omtipelled to seek protection by run
ning upon tho opposite side of a
farmer's wagon standing ' near. ‘lt
isolated (hat tlm Judge tvus, when attacked,
bargaining foro load of wood with tho farmer
who owned the wagon. It appevs. also, (hat
Mr. Chattcn continued to empty (ho contents of
his revolver, and that one of tho bullets entered
tho left log of Mr. Louis Vickers, the farmer re
ferred (o.
At about this juncture Mr. Alfred CbaUeu, a
brother of the City Surveyor, came to bis assist
ance and struck Judge Mitchell a blow ou tho
head with a stone or dome heavy instrument,
which made an ugly wound. Tlio Judge, al
though faint front loan of blood, turned
upon Alfred CbatUm and ondoavorod to strike
him with the whip, which ho still hold ia bis
baud, and with this purpose pursued him a
short distance.
Immediately after tbo shooting, Judge Mitchell
was conducted to » surgeon's office, where his
wound was probed and dressed, and where It was
ascertained that ho probably was not fatally in
inrod. lie received a iovoro wound In the loft
ujp, another ball entered tua abdomen, and n
third passed through tho fleshy port of bib right
arm and entered bit right breast. Decides these
ho ban two gashes in the bead. Although ho
minors great pain, the only wound which is at
all likely to prove dangerous is tho ono in his
hip, and hopes are euioitalnod that this will
heal ranldly, and that on fatal result will emmo,
Mr. Chattou gave himself up to tho police, as
did also bis brother Alfred, and Frank JL Weoor,
who was proaent and witncHScd tbo shooting.
Mr. Chattel* nworo out a warrant against Judgo
Mitchell for assault with iulunt to kill, and
bo gave bail in £3OO, The Judge
also swore out a similar warrant against
tbo Mosmt. Cbatten nud V/cbor,
and Judge Hutton hold them in £I.OOO each. Tho
trial is sot for nest Monday afternoon at 3
o'clock.
Louis Vickers, tbo farmer who was shot in tbo
leg. him brought suit In tbo Circuit Court against
Enoch 2*. Chatted, Frank 11. Wobor, uud Alfred
Ohatteu, laying bis damage* at £3,0(111, Tho
tragedy to-dav has lent additional Interest to
tho Huffman-Prentiss affair. It is reported that
Glutton threatened Mitchell yesterday, and that
it is for this reason that Mitchell was armed.
Tiro testimony in tbs Uoffmau-Treutitm ttlal
this afternoon was unimportant, with tbo excep
tion of copies at letters purporting to havo
passed between Hoffman and Mrs. Chattel).
These documents aru of tbo Lroaklvn stylo of
gush, and. if their identity can bn fully estab
lished, will prove very damaging to the parlies
concerned. There was a good deni of acrimony
exhibited during the investigation to-day.

AN INTERVIEW WITH
JESSE POMEROY’S
MOTHER.
Jopse Pomeroy's mother has boon laterviDwed
by a reporter of tho Boston JVnuv, tvhodosoribea
her as living in plainly-funjialjod rooms, and
earns her bread by plying * l»u“y noodle from
early morn to lato night. In poraonal appoar
nnco eho is a email woman, with a delicate and
rciinccl cast of coantenanao, ami a nervous, Uilli
dent dct'orlmouU Tlie linen of her faco aro
»:harp and angular, and her light gray eyoa aro
buried deeply nndor overhanging brows, and
look full of sorrow. Him was attired entirely in
black, and taken altogether would soom to bo
tho very model of an American working
woman, struggling to Ilro by benefit ami
independent niduulry. Being allied if sho
desired to inako any mure extended state
ments direct to tbo people of Boston *ho
replied, " Z should if I thought it would do my
poor hoy any good, but I am afraid it wouldn’t,
liver fliuco I gavo tho Times tbo writing which
Jesse did in jail, they have rnfused to let mo
hoo him, ami 1 auppbao I shall never see him
again alive, if 1 nay anything now I don’t
know what they may do to him. inm afraid to
apeak, and that is tlio|honost truth,” Hho Anally
conaontod, however, to write a utatomont. In
which sho taid that Jeeso woo 15 on thn 2bUi of
November lout. bo that at tho time
ho committed tho Arst crimen r.t Chelsea,
If ho did commit thorn, ho was not more
than 111 years of age. When tbo policeman
cauio to tbo bouse and told bor what ho was ar
rested for she was thftiidorsirnck. Jc?po had
alwofti been a liind, affectionate boy, good to her
andtwniH brother. Jorso was brought up and
tbo clmrgcs road over to bin). 110 lodged bovril
darod. and did not pomu to her to bo listening to
tbo charges Hho did not boliovo thou that ho
was guilty of thooo deeds, r.nd sho does not now.
It wan all Uko a ’dream. There waa no who of
talking about it now, eho uaid, but liar belief
was that if SSOO had not boon paid for his con
viction ho never would bavo gone to tho Koform
School at all.
After ho wont homo from tho Koform School,
and till ho Wus aircuP.'d fur killing little Mitten,
Mrs- Pomeroy noticed nothing straugo about
him; iio ww always good nud kind. As to tho
story of prenatal lufluoncvi'. Gtio said: “To my
knowledge Joasq has uo birth-mark whatever.
His father never was a butcher, and therefore I
could not h&vo watched him kill hcaate. At tha
time Josao was horn Ida fathar whs working at
tbo naw-yard. Tho oidv thing lie over had to do
with moat in his life was carrying hoof from
wagons on his ehooldoru into I’oneuii Hall Mar
ket. Hho didn’t bobuvo ho over killed on animal
in his life. During the period of her pregnancy 1
with Jeeso sho mu*, she thought, more secluded ;
than two-thirds of tho women of Boaton. There
were timeu whon sho did not go out of the houRO
for two mouths. Tbo whole story about (ho
prenatal influenced on Jesso woo & malicious
blander.
Mrs. Pomeroy coraplaina that nho was uot
allowed to sou liar sou fur U-n »voeLj, and bo*
linvou that in that tim« his mind was worked
upon till ho was ready la confess anything. Bho
was uot allowed to speak t/> him mtvo in the
prosecco of an officer. nor to carry him hooks.
Slio concludes: “ 1 foci that I ought to ha allow*
od tu boo Jcsso, boluc bis mother, when Sheriff
CJaik makes an exhibition of him to poopla
who have no Intercut in the boy ox*
oopt curiosity. X say this on good
grounds. When the Do Molay Corn*
mandery of Knights come to Poston from llich*
mond, Sheriff C/arb gave them a banquet at hlu
lioiiho at tbo Suffolk Street Jail, and whou the
festivities wore going on Jesse was brought out
of his coll at J» o’clock at night, and taken
around tiro room as a curiosity for tho Richmond
Knights to stare at. They ruaclo remarks on him
just as they liked, and then ho was tot go back
to his coll. I suppose it Is the law of the Slate,
but It scorns hard to hoar. On another occasion
quo of Ilaruam'a agents. I am told, was let in to
soo Jesse, and sated him how ho would like to
go around with o circus and show himself to the
public. I suppose it la all right and lu accord*
coco with Jaiv, but It does eeonr strange.”
