The SwINDrFR Ellis AGNS-MoRE COMPLAINTS
AGAIsSI H,M.-Dr. Thomas T. Ellis, now confined in
the Tonbs on various fslse-prete complaints, IN
lengthy card published in OF the morning papers
OF Friday makes a general denial Of all the charges
heretofore brought against him, and alleges that he
Is being most vlainously persecuted Among other
things in his card Ellis says that he has no wife living,
she having died over two years ago. This assertion is
ontradcted by less parsonage than the Mayor OF
ST. CathaIine, Canada. Below will be found copy
cf dispatch having reference to Ellis, and speaking
Of him in a manner more forcible than polite.

The above dispatch was addressed to merchant
doing business in Murray street, in this city, who PIE
fers no. to have his name mentioned in the matter
notwithstanding he vas swiDcled out Of $500 by Eis
5000 in money and the remainder in goods Ellis con-
summated this swinde by coming the " confidence
over his victim.
The gentleman above referred TO has also received
sarous letters from Canada and Boston in relation to
the moral ard pecuniary standing OF Ellis. In one Vi
them the writer says:

The author Of another letter says of Ellis
ellis character Is VIGOROUSLY bad and has been for
wears to my knowledge; indeed, caLnOt think OF any
man who makes any preteDsloDs TO decency VINO mas

sunmste Jeremy Didder, of which you wiundouotedly
ere long have proof positive OF his moral character
Ihaye not yet been able to get many facs-or rather
Ishoud say any definite niormation but the fact OF
his allowing man who boarded in his family to keep

men 10 his last boarding place IN this city, and the
landlady informed bim that he was turned away for

not be candid with yon and do less.
Ellis ia still confined in the Tombs, none OF tho
numerous and influential friends which he claims to
have in this city appearing TO bail him out. Oific'r
Boyle of the Fifth Precinct is still engaged collecting
evidence against Ellis and fresh victims are appearing
almost daily, but many of them choose not to have
their names known in the matter
