I Henry Williams, milkman. He was at
once identified by the Post Office clerk, and
also by the clerk of Adams & Co, and further.
two experts in hanlwriting declared his
writing and that of the alteration of the
notes sent to the Norwalk Bank to be in the
same hand. Ihereupon the accused was held
to j in the sum of $4,000 for robbing the

sum Of S 900 for forgery. He stoutly pro-
tested his innocence, but the proofs were
50 strong that his friends began to waver.
At this crisis q second Williams was ares
ted by police officer This Williams had
suddenly risen from poverty t. afluencc,
drove his fast team upon the Bloomindale
road, ana in his drunken moments proved
quite communicative, speaking of bis $4,000
in bank, and drinking mysteriously to the
brightness Of the bank cashiers The facts
since developed indicate that this Williams is
the real rogue, while the first was the victim
Of mistaken identity. for these post-olice and
express clerks not only identity the second
prisoner as the man who took the letter and
presented the note, but his hand writing is
stated to be the same as that upon the note.
This shows that testimony in regard 70
identity shonld be taken with great care and
caution.

a singular case Of mistaken identity Three
weeks since Mr.. F. A. Williams. "a wealthy
omnibus proprietor, applied to the Cashier
Of the Norwalk (Ct.) Bunk, fora discount of

would be forthcoming.
This reply from the Cashier. with the note,
did not reach Mr. Williams. but, after lying
several days in the New York Post Office,
vas advertised, and called for by a person
representing himself as Mr.. Williams, who,
1t afterwards appeared, forthwith altered the
note to two months, sent it to Norwalk by
Adams Express, and obtained the money.
