not appear a mere device to obtain to de
lay. A company under Captain lie Lery
was in garrison in the town in that com
pany there was a corporal of the name o.
Ruhler, who some weeks before had de-
serted and disappeared from his quarters
All inquiries after him since had proved
in vain. The court subsequently learned
from the report of the officer in command
that he had disappeared in the evening
before the day when the news of the rob-
berry became public. He had been last
seen by the guard in the course of the
forenoon before his disappearance. Some
connection between the events appeared
extremely probable.
But q new discovery seemed suddenly
to demolish the conclusions founded on
the letter. 1t had been laid before the
commanding officer, who at once declared
the handwriting was couterfeited 1t was
not that of Ruhler, which was well known,
nor had it the least resemblance to it. The
evidence of several of his comrades, and
comparison of the handwriting with
some regimental lists. undoubtedly in the
handwriting of Ruhler, proved this be-
yond a doubt.
The letter from Rotterdam thus was
merely the device of some unknown friend
or confederate, and probably resorted to
only to put off the punishment Of the ac-
cused. How, indeed, if Ruhler was real
ly implicated in the robbery, should he
have thus cast suspicion upon himself?
If his object had been merely to preserve
the inn-keeper and his friends from the
torture, he would have assumed some 9TH
er name. In all probability. therefore,
some third party, implicated in the rob-
berry, had availed himself of the acciden-
tai disappearance of the corporal to throw
the suspicion of the robbery upon him,
and to exculpate the guilty parties, who,
if brought 70 the torture, might be induc-
ed to disclose the names of all their as
sociates. To prevent this was probably
the object Of the letter. This, at least,
was the prevailing opinion.
The strongest efforts were now made to
discover the true writer of the letter; and
mean time the torture was put off, when
two other important witnesses made their
appearance on the stage. Neither had
the least connection with the other; nay,
the circumstances which they narrated
in some respects contradictory,
and while they threw light on the subject
in one quarter, they only served to darken
it in another.

TowS Treasurer KILLED WHILE Ar
TEMPTING TO ROB HMsELF.-The Ocono-
mowoc Free Press learns from a source,
which II considers reliable, that the Town
Treasurer of Erin, Washington County,
Illinois, attempted to rob himself Of the
funds belonging to the town. He told
his wife he was going to distant part of
the village, and that he would not return
until the next day. Soon after he had
left pedlar stopped at the house, and as
be was friend, he obtained lodging for
the night. The wife, unvittingly, put
him into the room which contained the
money. About ten o'clock, hearing q
noise, she arose and opened the door,
when three men rushed in with their faces
black and otherwise disguised. Threat
ening to shoot her If she raised an alarm,
they went up stairs to the pedlar's room,
and attempted to break in the door. AZ
ter repeated trials it gave way, and as
the foremost robber sprang in, the pedlar
fired revolver, killing him, when the
other two fed. Upon examining the
body Of the robber, it was found to be
that of the Treasurer himself.
