ESCAPE AND RECAPTuRE OF EMILE LETANNEUR.
For the last twenty four hours there has been c1n-
siderable excitement among those OF citizens who
are more or less interested in bringing he parties en-
gagged in the great Lmantour s@indie to justice, by
the mysterious and sudden disappearance OF Letanneur,
one Of the Witnesses in the Crave charges aud
hints were be Ing put in circulation that certain parties
had been instrumental in spritipg him away. IL was
insisted that unless some action was mmefistey taken
by our citizens al the important witnesses would be
induced by Limantours friends, with tue AID OF the
" almighty dollar" TO follow in Letsnneurs wake
Accodpe plans taken 70 irustrate their deep
laid schemes and now have the pleasure OF inform
ing our readers that these efforts have proved sue
eessfpI.

his own reeoenzsnce and while be was In the conf

Of the attorneys OF Lmsntour either Pringe or Felton,
with: How are YOU Mr.. Letsnneurl am your at
torney como with me-" Since that time, until noon
to-day DO dipgs could be had Of Letanneurs where
This forenoon Officers Salisbury and johnson went TO
Letanneurs residence, corner of Dupont and Sscra-
mento streets, and asking for hi were informed oy
Spanish boy said 10 be In the employ OF Limantour,
that he II etanneufl was not there nor did he know
ANYTHING of him. in few minutes there the boy
was observed by tire officers, who still lowered about,
to leave the house. The boy had oook under nus
arm and proceeded toward Clay street; thence down
Clay to KearDy; thence to Washingfon; and thence
through Montgomery TO Sacramento, and then back TO
Washington. All the while be was apparently cautious
in bis ovemenis and evidently intent on evadng any
suspe ced watching On bis route he stopped at sew
erai bookstores. On leaving the French and Spanish
book store on Montgomery street near Jackson he was
observed TO have second book under his arm. from
which note or piece of paper wes protrudiDg After
trayeIsipg several streets as before evidently afraid
that he was being watched, he oceeded to the Man
sion House. on Dupont street, the officers, who had
closely followed him, being still behind.
Officer johnson here stepped into store, addressed
an envelope 10 Mr.. LefaDneur, nclosing piece OF
blank paper. Johnson then went boldly to the house,
showed the letter and asked for Leianneur. He was
admitted into the house snd observing the boy coming
out of re om entered and handed the letter TO the
party whom they were in search Of Letanneur ap
peaIed much confused and on being told that be was
wal ted went with the officer 10 the United States Mar
sbss Office where we trust the proper authorities Will
take the necessary precautions to have him forthcom-
ing when required.
Officers Salisbury and johnson deserve credit for the
tact and judgment displayed in this affair. But for
them, Letaneur would undoubtedly have succeeded In
mai rg good his escape. Although hs has confessed
all before the Grand jury under OATH yet his fears
have been go worked upon by the LmantOur swindles
that be is 10th to testify against his old patron.
The parties most interested in the Limsntour swinde
should be on the alert. Let them watch everybody
and everything connected with the case and bring on
the tIis with the least possible delay Llmantour and
his accomplices have wealth and talent their side,
and win not ecruple at anything which will have ten
dency to carry out their dannsble schemes 1t is
already bned that they retaining some OF the most
prominent lawyers and that even yesterday retainer
Of IS 600 was paid to one Money will yet accomplish
deal in this city Of ours, and We caution the anti
Limantour men to be on the lookout Bulletin.
