= URY PLOT. h.

A Remarkable Pretended Robbery
Cleared Up-staiement Of me Mas
querndipg Treasurer.
From the Coshocton Democrat, of tuesday,
Samuel Ketchum, the defallting
Treasurer, has made full statement Of
his defalcation and pretended robbery.
In June, 1857, he was deficient in funds
for about $1,000, for which he couh not
then, and can not now, account. He
went to Brown, who was banke, for
o loan. Brown loaned him three thou-
sand dollars. From that time his toub-
les commenced. Brown harrassed him
for loans of public money, to cary on
his banking business, and hiped
the Treasurer to carry over eve
ry deficit on settlement until hnu-
ary, 1859. On the 22d of that ninth,
o Commissioner was to examin the
Treasury, and he needed money tocov-
