| SINGULAR CAsKs-CIvIL AND CRIMINAL The
goods and effects and real estate of James Fol
som. jeweler and silversmith OF this place, have
been attached within the last few days, by at
tachment process issued by the Circuit Court of
the United States for the District of Indiana, at
the suit OF DR.. Joseph Q. Roberts, of Tennessee;
and said Folsom has been arrested AID taken to
Tennessee. by requistion from the Governor Of
that State, on criminal charge
The many improbable stories in circulation
concerning these matters induce US to give pub
liety to the following version: DIR. Roberts al
leges, that about January. 1854 on the streets of
Pulaski, in Tennessee. be dropped from his
pocket 81 500 in greenbAcks. to wit: six 81 900
| bills, and one $500 bill. That war was then
being waged in Tennessee. making commrnica
ton with the North very difficult that all dill
gent search for said money was at the time fruit
less and that published reward Of 81 900
| failed to illicit any information concerning IT,;
that many months afterwards a negro man in
New Hampshire made public declarations to this
effect: That he resided with James Folsom, at
OF near Pulaski, in January, 1864, aud found
upon the streets OF that place. ST. 500 in green
| backs, OF the denomination stated above; that
he handed tho same for safe keeping. to Mr..
Folsom; that upon hearing OF the 81 900 re
| ward, he desired to return the money to Rob
erts, but he was dissusded from doing so by Mr..
| Folsom, who persuaded him to 60 North, repre-
| sentiDg that as negro be would there enjoy
greater social and political privileges, and
proposing that they should there share said
! money equally, and urging the advantages to
the negro OF the half OF Sc. 500 over said sum of
reward. That be VAS thus enticed by Folsom to
accompany him to New Hampshire; and that
when they got there Folsom faced on the negro,
denied all ABOUT the money, ana refused 70 give
him Uy part thereof. Whsreupon the negro
tells. And this, Dr.. Roberts AYERS, is the first
clue to his missing money. The DIR. further al
leges that he has since learned of additional evil
dence, coroborating the negros statement fully.
and making a clear case against Folsom. Hence
the attachment proceedings, coupled with civil
action to recover said sum of money
