Vive Doztater
The Rochester DamocrGi completes tie
history Of the affair, as follows
The above viii be best understood bv stating /
the fact that Mr.. Doxtater Is keeper Of the coun-
ty jail, 'D0xater's Hail." and that the parties |
above mentioned, are under lock and key, with I
the exception Of Daniel Burke, charged with .
arson. who is out on bail, and James Skelley, /
charged with burglary, who broke jail last May.
DObson, mentioned above, who is also charged \
with burglary, broke jail at the same time with
skelley, but was recaptured For the latter, a
reward of 500 is offered; but II be turns up
at the White House. We presume that bis par
don can be easily obtained.
We may remark that although the above was
go- up as hoax, and is in fact as neat a thing
as was done on the Fourth, it is, after all, not
much more Of a humbug than most Of these
Johnson meetings.
