The case of forgery and theft of
which we made mention last week

The result of the preliminary trial

we learn to be Frsnklin Monroe, was
committed to Jail in default of bail
and is now undergoing his trial for
grand larceny. During the prelimi-
nary examination the fact of the for
gerry came to light, for which crime
be was also indicted, and plead
guilty. There can be no doubt of
his ultimaium. In addition to the
above crimes, we understand that he
is guilty of bigamy-rumor says
twice over. He has a wife living in
the western part of this county, whom
he left some three months since,
when he established himself in Mari
on township, working q short time
for Jonathan Aurand, the man whose
name he forged. He made the ac-
auaintance of Miss Minerva Marvin,
dsughter of Zerah Marvin, Esq, a
very fine, intelligent young lady, and
after rather brief courtship, they
were duly married. The deceived
girl will have no difficulty in pro-
curing a divorce, and almost before
the expiration of the honeymoon she
will again be free.
