Support Herself. Boston, Sept. HO.—A shrewd attempt to defraud the government out of $3,030 or 13,000 pension money has been frustratsd. It la one of ilie neatest schemes that has y*t come to light, and but for a fatal conflict of dates it would hare succeeded. Thomas L. Alston was first lieutenant in the Twelth United States Infantry. He died in Junuiry, 1878. After sereral delays a pension certificate for over $3,000 was granted April 13.1S78. The question now arose as to the rightful ownership. His wife had died five years previous, and his son, aged 16, was disqualified on account of his age. Maria Good all, who was employed at No. 575 Main street, Charleston, claimed that some time before his death Alston had made her his wife. The woman was of negro descent, but was so nearly white that she would pass for a white woman. She said they were married in Providence. R. I., and that Alston had given her the maiviago certificate. She could not rend it, and showod it to two female friends, who vouched for Its genuine nejs. This certificate had disappeared, but the two women testified that they had seen 't. At Providence the discovery was triads that Thomas JL Alston and Maria 'Goodall had been married March 9, 1870, or ever a year after Alston's death. The Goodall woman was confronted with that fact, and finally confessed that the scheme was a fraud. Thomas Smith, of Newton, was second cousin to Alston's wife. He told Maria, it is alleged, that if she could get a marriage certificate and show it to some friends and thon lose it, she could get the money. Smith had a wife with him at Newton, yet it is charged that he loaned himself for the occassion and was married to Maria Goodall in Providence; he per* sonating Thomas L. Alston. Neither noticed the discrepancy in the date, Smith did not live with the woman. Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Parts of Canada and West Virginia Feel the Shock—No Lives Lost.
