CorToN IN CoURT-A PRISONER WANTING
Henry Doscher, who resides near Monks Corner,
on the Northeastern Railroad, a short time ago
took ba.e OF sea islaKd cotton to Mr.. Davis, the
railroad agent 81 that station, for shipment, and
obtained receipt for the same. A few days after
wards he went to Mrs. Davis, during the absence
of Mr.. Davis, and demanded the cotton. Know
ing that 1t was his, Mrs. Davis gave up the cotton
but neglected to take back the railroad receipt.
Doscher sold the cotton Immediately TO gentle'
man who paid him for it in full, and then having
the receipt OF the railroad agent still IN his pos.
session, he obtained an advance from merchant
Of this city by transferring the receipt to him.
Mr.. Davis upon being sued on the receipt for the
bale of cotton therein mentioned, had Doscher
arrested on Wednesday afternoon. The case came
up before Trial Justice John g. Mackey, who, after
an examination, decided that Doscher should give
bail for his appearance at the next Court OF Gene
raj Sessions. Doscher and constable were sent
out to give the former an opportunityof OF getting
the necessary security but after an hours frutless
search returned to the trial justice unsuccessful
1t was now dark and growing late, and the trial
Justice began to prepare the commitment. While
this was going on Doscher quietly made his exit
from the crowded office and when the constable
looked for his prisoner to take him to jail he was
nowhere to be found. A strict search was insti-
tuted, but Doscher has not been seen since. A
constable was sent on yesterday afternoon TO
Monks Corner, and BY this time Doscher may be
once more in limbo.
