SwNDLER ARREsTED.--A man calling his
name Charles Hicks, was arrested by Deputy
Marshals Wentworth and Irish yesterday
morning, for swindling people out of money
under pretense of obtaining it for the relief OF
"George Gray, who was prisoner in the An
dersonTille prison for nineteen months and
eleven days, and by exposure and hardship
lost both his feet" as is alleged in the sub
scription paper. The paper is headed with
a recommendation from the Mayor, and also
his name for ten dollars, and several other
names for less sums, all of which were forged
Hicks had succeeded by means of this pa
per in obtaining some fifteen or twenty dol
lars from benevolent citizens. II is supposed
he is the one who has recently been operating
in the same manner in Boston, as he came
from that city Tuesday. 3Itagl'

curing sums from several persons on that
street. But they were too wide awake in that
store to be caught by such signature as the
pretended name of Mayor Mcclellan, and the
police officers were called, to whose tender
mercies he was handed over His career in
