Edeinton, the Def.uIter.

The Charlton Patriot of the 2lst inst. /,
leaves us no further reason to doubt that E.
T. Edginton, Treasurer of Lucas county, is
an absconding defaulter, and that some fea.
lures of his crime are peculiarly aggravated.
These are the facts of the case as narrated
by the Patriot:
We are panied to announce the fact that
Edward I. Edginton, Esq, for the last six
years Treasurer of the county, an old and
heretofore respected citizen ofthls place and
well known throughout the State as public
spirited and influential man has doubtless
left the county and the country with all the
ready money belonging to the county, besides
several thousand dollars OF school money
belonging to this District of which he was
President.
The circumstances of his leaving are about
as follows. On Tuesday, July 23rd. he and
Mr.. Woodward OF this place went to Burling,
ton as Committee of the School Board to
complete contract with q MIR. Williams
Co., for the building of a School House in
this place. The following morning Mr..
Woodward came home leaving Edginton to
complete the contract. Mr.. Williams failing
to make the contract Ellington went to Des
Moines to make the contract with Mr. Rich.
0ru. VA FEluayy august Zuu, uc WIotc iet~
ters to his family and to Woodward stating
he had not yet seen Richard but would that
night or the following morning. and could
not return before the Monday evening fol
lowing. No suspicion was aroused in the
min is of any one until Saturday Aug, 18th,
when it WAS discovered he had not seen
Richard. Telegraphlng was done the fore
part of last week and it was discovered he
left Des Mones August 3rd, Chicago August
4th, over the Michigan Central Road aud q
gentleman from Leon reports seeing him in
New York city on or about the It'll inst.
Mr.. Edginton owns considerable proper
ty in this vicinity and unless it should prove to
be encountered or sold, will help to q consid
cradle extent in paying losses sustained by
his defalcation. 1t is impossible to tell the
extent of the losses or who all are sufferers
until the matters are more fully developed,
but enough is known to cast general gloom
over our community and make many man
in comfortable circumstances feel himself
impoverished.
