those with whom she came in contact with the
truthlulnesj ot her representations. She is not
good looking, but her sharp intelligence, chafm;-
ing conversational powers and gr.^at Beenmig sincerity oflife and purpose have been Stifficienily
potent to accomplish her mischievous ends, unaided by the charm of female beauty. She &wle
her appearance in Philadelphia about a year ago,
aud remained there eleven months. On her arrival there she put up at the leading hotel, and accompanying ner who a Fretumnnni some aWu
years older than herself, whom she represented to
be her servant, and whom she called by the republican name of Martin,- She did not stay at the
hotel long. Ordering a carriage, sb-e drove to a
sumptuous private renidence, conspicuous'on the
mammoth silver door plate of which is the name
of G. U. Htitter.
Forged letters of introduction were presented
(o Mr. Hntter—it was not known at the time that
the lettrsi's were forged—and Mr. Hutter was delighted to be of service to Ms distinguished visiter.
Mrs. Hutter was Charmed1, and the Hutters adolescent partook of the paternal and maternal enthusiasm. In a short time—how could it be otherwise? Mrs. De Gagino was installed in the Hutter
mansion, and uTg'ed to make herself "at home.',
which she very willingly, systeraaiically and thor.
ooglft^ proceeded to do. She acted frith no un
dignified taste: She Spoke very modestly of her
wealth, and by lhe adroit display of foreign
correspondence corroborated-the story about her
iuormods possessions. She negotiated for the
purchase of about $50,000 worth of real estate in
the city, which purchases were not, however, consummated. By means of fraudulent title deeds
she inveigled Mr. rfu'ler out of nearly '$1000 in
cash. One morning Mrs. De Ga'gino was mining
frcm the Hutter mansion. The servant "Martin,"
was also misBing, and so was tbe $1000, a splendid
gold enameled watch belonging to Mrs. Hutter,
a superb gold watch belonging to one of the Misses
Hutter, and a large cross, studded with brilliant
diamonds. Numerous small and some large tradesmen were losers by hep sn-dden dep;ii'li*re. She
took away jewelry enough to open a country jewelry store withal, and silks enough to drive a very*
tforWtffg rural trade in This expensive brauch of
commerce.
The abrupt departure ofhis elegant and accomplished' gueat suggested to Mr. Hutter the very
natural propriety of tracing,-if possib!!;, her antecedents, and-getting a'olu'e lo her movements afler
l*;iv*iiig-liij5 liuBpil.;ilite j uul. By iiitana ul letters
aud tbe telegraph be has beard cf her having en-
acfed- similar swindles as those perpetrated on
himself and'otbers in Philadelphia, in nearly all
(be leading Southern cities. In 1855*—this is as
far ba'cit as lie has been able to trace her—she vtfas
the guest of the Hon. Di. vid "£.-Pbcter, efBellvill
Texas- Her programme of Operations wa." precisely ihe same theu as now. Her accomplishments
and skillfully forged letters and drafts c''■.'pri^eil
her stock in trade. The French servant, who went
by the name of Martin in Philadelphia, boie her
Company, but at tliat lime he waa mire on a pur
with herself, being designated as her husband. He
passed by thename of Eugene G. Constance, aud
she was known as Mrs. Constanee, He wore an
litary costume, aud conducted himse!1
with becoming martial aud military dignity. He
waa portly and fond of port and good dinners.
She dressed elegantly, was full of vivacious talk,
and charmed all by her splendid'musical ubilities.
They remained sevcn'itionths, guests in the house
of Mr. Porter.- She was the business party— her*
husband, like many husbands, being an inefficient
Cypher. She was greatly charmed with the climate and society of Texas, and'determined to make
that 5tate her residence. SLo bought 1750 acres
of land, had the title deeds executed, and made
all the arrangements for the erection of a Kupi-rb
residence. She converted into cash* forged drafts
,u her banker (that uever exisled}'in Paris, iu the
amount oi $3000,,and gave further forged drafts
in payment fur hur laud purcluise, und started on
a travelingjaunt io the Northern States—completing which, she was to leturn and net ffbout th«
immediate completion ofher future residence. It
is hardly necessary to add that she did uot return
to B''lhnlle.
Judge J. Benton Johnston, of Corpus Christi
Texas, Mittered a depletion*of $3,650 at thc hands
of this adroit woman. Forged* draft*.-torged title
deeds, and a smooth tongue effected the pecuniary
draft upon the plethoric pockets oi the usually
sharp Judge. From Texas she went to California'
and practiced several successful swindles in tbe
golden gate cily. Shu 'nt believed to have ri'tnain"
ed iu California about a yenr. SfV. William Frrtiilc-
lin.one of the frsSffltfrf lumber dealers in San
Fraucisco, as far as 18 known, is her kearicet victim, he having been induced to part with $5,000
lu gold in exchange for worthless drafts. By operating with drafts, she prevented pursuit and arrest, as, by the time tlie drafts were discovered to
be worthless, she would manage to have put her-
Belf at a conveniently safe distance frontier victim*
In New Orleans, Mobile. Natchez and Baltimore
her presence has been distinctly traced. For her
abundant brass and musical notes she has rsceived
superabundant gold and bank notes. Her suci'di*
has been most re'^arkablfe. She would invariably
have her victim selected b.'fore she entered a
place, learn thoroughly his antecedents, and by
forged letters of introduction, easily effect her
swindling purpose. Large numbers have doubtless been swindled, who, from personal pride, never
made the fact known. Her male companion has
usually acted :tt iho capacity. Of valet. He is not
servant enough, and his appearance is not sufficiently distingue for him to pass readily for the
husband ofa woman so accomplished, of buc!i vast
possessions, and with so much of noble blood in
her veins. Aside from tliis, It was decidedly more
in keeping with i*i:er assumed■ chGTa'ftf.ei' to have a
body servant to order her carriages, to convey answers to her notes of invitations, and to do* the
general genteel waiting upon her. Another thing
not worthy of consideration : a servant could pick
up any little unpleasant gossip that might be-astir
casting imputations upon the character Of the
leading actress in tbe scene. The aggregate net
results of the swindles of this woman, is believed
by Mr. Hutton and the police to reach a heavy
amount. The man Miirtin formerly woiked at polishing leather for Karmeua & Co., No. 40 Court-
land street/ The presumption is that both have
smuggled themselves on board ifo^e' steirmor
bound to Europe, and that they are now living in
comfortable and luxurious retirement in some out-
of the-way |. lace on the other side of the Atlantic.

such B period of time and with such a successful
escape of the guilty parties, Parely appear*ii'our
