BOLD ATTEMPT at SWESD-
ling.
A DO ton Sharper Tries TO Did
die the First National, hut
is ThWarted.

On Friday last 3 very g%enteel, Tell-tO-
10 looking gentleman of tsll, hand
some figure, portly mien, easy carriage
aud the Diandest Of address, arrived 10
,ur town from the E" far NcrTud,r as tae
isrkles used to say. he went straight
n the OvertOD and registered himself as
Mr.. r. S. Morgan, from Msssac nusetts,
and was given the b5st the house afford
ed. On Saturday he went 10 the ofice
d n. KrsUs l. Co, aud presented TO M
hrsus a letter OF Introduction from HOr-
ace .. Clsfiin q Co, Of New York. This
.etter wes not cOuched in the usual phrR-
se0lOFy OF q mere letter Of intrOC uction;
& was more OF an irdOrsement, Titbou.
being exactly = letter Of credit. II had,
however, all the weights Of The lat .er with
SIR Kraus, who, on the streng h Of il.
look him TO the First National Bank and
introduced him TO the officers Mfr. Nor
Uis, the Nice-President, SmOng others.
To Mr.. Norris, Mr.. Morgan repre-
sented that be was ia Memphis TO puT-
chase cotton, and wished to negotiate
for money. Mr.. Norris readily prom
ised TO advance him all that he might
want on bills of lsding of cotton. This
seemed TO be satisfactory ct the time,
aud Mr. Morgan went out, TO return,
however, shortly sfterward, with . draft
from the Woons0okett National Bank on
The Suffolk National Bank, of Boston,
for ~thirty-twO thousand dollars 1882 000),
which he wished to get cashed.
Mr.. Norris informed him that be would
be glad 20 accommodate him, but would
have TO send the drSft on for collection
hrst-Cr II he vas In. immediate need OF
the money, he repeated HE offer to adj
vance on bills of lsding. This did not
suit the gentleman, however, and afteR
lettering around tie office awhile, left. !;
From that time on nothing has beeTk
heard OF Mr.. r 5. Morgan. o. icquiryN
at the OgeFt0n it was found tina. he had
taken to himself the wings of tie norm
ing and hJwn sway-in other words, be
bad taken the early morning train east
ward, and had vamosad. Mr. Norris
teiegUsphed to the WOOnsOeEett and SUI
folk banks and received the information
that GDy such draft as the a Morgan
purported 10 hold was q forgery.
Thus the First National escaped bsing
cdoused, but as Mr.. Morgan is as we
have described him a very imposing
parsonage, and has lots of Yankee brass
lthOugh at present apparently cevOid Of
TN, he may impose on SOME less sharp
institution. We advise cur neighb0rs in
Nashville to be Gu their guard.
