ONCE FAMOUS FOR HEK BEAUTY Woman for Waaee Make Jlm" Flak Waa Milled Reveals Her Idea tlty la Soath Dakota Taw a. i . A letter from Watertown. S. D., pub lished in aeveral papers, assert In a posi tive fashion that Josl Mansfield, the woman for whom Edward 8. Stokes shot and killed Jim Fisk. Jr., in the Grsnd Cen tral hotel. New Tork, In 1ST J, haa been a resident of Watertown for seven yeara. under the name of Mra Mary Lawler, and that her Identity became known only re cently. According to tha letter, the woman Is TO year old, penniless and a paralytic, and I seeking entrance to convent. For aev eral month she haa been living on th bounty of friends, and money for her sup port baa been raised by card parties and voluntary subscription. Th woman who waa th causa of one of th greatest tragedies In the history of American finance is ending her daya In harrowing obscurity. There waa no sus picion of her Identity when she waa brought to Watertown In 1S0S by M. D. Flint, at that time on of th most prosperous bus iness men In- Watertown. Flint waa her brother, but there w nothing In public knowledge to connect him with the soman whose beauty had led to the estrangement ot Flsk and Stokes and the death of Flsk by ths hand of hla former friend. Flint lived In the largest house In Watertown, and cloae to it he built a small cottage for his sister. He gave her two servsnts, and for flv year ahe lived ther In ease and comfort. Flint never even hinted to his most Intimate frienda that the old woman waa Josle Mantfleld, and he died without disclosing the secret. When ah first came to Wstertown the woman waa almoat a helpless paralytic. 8 he gradually recovered atrength and vigor, however,- and gave, herself, to deeds of charity. She went about In a carriage, helping th poor. For that work aha was supplied liberally with money by her brother. Two year ago Flint died. He had failed to asalgn the cottage to hi later. Hi estate waa (ound to be In volved and only a amall amount remained after all creditors had been satisfied. Ths woman lived sparingly on that remnant un til about three months ago, when she cam to th end ot her resource. She had mad many friends here and they offered as sistance. At first she refused, but finally ah wa forced to accept. Ska I Recognised. Her Identity waa mad known by an old commercial traveler, who recognised her by the traces of the beauty that cost Flsk hla life and blasted the career of Stokea Deaplt th effect of the paralysis, which has been growing on her steadily for the last year, she stilt preserves distinction of tac and an attraction which seam to defy time Itself.. She broke down when Informed her story waa known and ex pressed the hope she would find shelter be hind th wall of a convent. Thla I th first time It ha been revealed that th woman' real nam la Flint. When before the public ahe always asserted her full nam waa Josephine Mansfield. On report gave her real nam as Warrant, but ah put all doubt at rest th other day by saying Flint la xsallty waa her, brother. . 1 8ha made her first appearance on th tag In California In 1856. She wa about It yeara old, extremely lovely, but ignor ant. She became' the wife of Frank Law fence, an actor, and they came east and lived In Boston until 1887. In that year She obtained a divorce, and went on the New Tork stag. Sh could not act, being cold and emotionless. After appearing In sSveral companlea without success, ah found herself without money. 8h sought an audience with Flsk. It wa said she told him sh had only her beauty to com mend her, but that wa enough. Flak Her Slav. Flak became her slave. Her skin was fair. Her silky black hair was arrayed In clusters around her broad white brow. Her ar were amall and finely modeled, and from them depended a pair of large gold hoopa, which gave her a gypsy attractive nee. Her eyes were light, but luminous gray. Sh flattered Flsk until she met Stokes, when ahe promptly transferred her "affection" to the younger man. Th effect of hi betrayal embittered Flsk all the more, aa he had boasted In publio ot th woman. He had given her a house on West Twenty-third street. It waa at a feaat In that place he vain gloriously declared that he held th legis lature In the hollow of bis hand, and thought he would have It change the nam of New Tork to Flakvlll. Flsk tried to ruin Stoke flnanolally. He bad Stoke arrested on a charge of em bexslement. Josl Mansfield gavs away secret of Flsk' Ufa to Stoke, and th war between th man grew until It at tracted th attention of th country. Fi nally Stokes went from th side of ths woman to Walt for Fisk and to shoot him down on tha stair of th Grand Central, now th Broadway Central ho tel. Stokea thought that by thl act he would asaur a permanent place In th womkn'a affection, but tha minute shs heard ot the death of Flak she turned her back on th murderer forever. Stoke was tried three time. Th first trial resulted In a disagreement, the sec ond In a conviction of murder, tho third In manslaughter In tha third degree. In 1877 the killer waa released after serving four year. On December 1, 18S4. Graver Cleveland restored him to cltlsenshlp, and he died November 1. 1901. Following tha Flsk murder Josle Mans field sued the Flsk estate for 1200,000. The caae War thrown out of court. She went to Boston and waa hooted. She fled to Paris, and In 181 In London was msrrled to Robert Livingston Reade, of New Tork. After a few yeara they were divorced. Tan yeara ago she was living In Boston aa Mr. Josl Welton. Then alia went to Philadelphia, and finally ahe waa brought to Watertown by her brother. UNITED BY CHILD AND WRECK InJary af Haabaad aad Illness of Daaa-hter Cans Divorced Caapl ' to Reasarry.
