MR. August Belmont, the well-known banker and representative ofthe Rothschilds in America, died suddenly on the 24th of November, was a leader of American society, and a leading
patron
of the turf and of the fat arts. He went to New York for the Rothschilds in 1838, and married the daughter of Coramodore Parry of the U. S. Navy. His son Perry Belicat was Chair man of the Foreign Affairs Committee of Cop- ress under President Cleveland, and for a short fima. Minister of the U.S. in Spain. Me. August Belmont's death was attributed in New York, partially to excitement is connection with the semi-panic la American securities.

They threatened to kill him if he resisted. He did not see how they put the cloth into deceased's mouth. The pieces of cloth and wood produced are the articles they put into his. (witness's) mouth. They led his hands with cord and thep made them fast to his legs with bandages. The burglars had two candles with them which they lighted as soon as they got into the house. He did not know дру of the men but could see their faces distinctly. They were dressed in ordinary coolie clothing, One of them he could easily identify. He was the one who tied him up. None of them spoke at all, except to threaten him and his feki with instant death in the event of resistance being offered. The thieves took away all the cloth ing and money is the house. The eleven dollars, which they took, was the sum total of all the money he had on the premises. Ever; too, pieces of old clothing, valued at about 30 centr, they look away. His foll shouted out "thieves" before they gagged him. The burglars were very quick about the whole thing. They searched in the flower pots, and tore up some of the flooring. The deceased had the eleven dollars in his possession for about two weeks. While in occupation of the house he heard them say “this man is a corpae," menning the deceased was dead. After that they hurtled out of the house. He (witness) did not know his foki was dead until he heard the thieves say 10. The deceased was treated in a brutal manner, being bound band and foot and knocked down on the ground. They did not intend to kill,bis foki, be thought, because when they found it out, one of them said, "that is his own luck." He did not hear them say anything nhout being disappointed at not finding more money in the house. He had not idea who the men were and could suspect no one in particular.
