UNFoUNDED RuMoR.-From information rece;vaa
IN the city yesterday, we learn that the rumor OF
ne murder OF R1aas, the Jack Ketch ut the recent
execution, IS entirely unfounded. R1aas has been
seen by several parties since his return to the
country, and his brother, who arrived in the CITY
yesterday, contradicts the different rurnors that
have been a1oat in tho community. The so-called
murdered man is alive, and, from all appearances,
mas no 1ntontlon Of being SO disposed Of.
