Hnrdyyicke, the SwIndIer and Blga mIsr. Re-
turning 10 the Sceuo of His First ExDiOits.
That adroit and amiable gentleman, Mr.. L.
w. Hardwicke, who has been so extensively
operating in forged papers, has swindled SO
many innocent and confding persons, and whose
conjugal predisposition has led him into a hall
dozen marriages, is on the point of richly re-
ceiving his just deserts Yesterday TIE EVEN
ING TELEGRAPH gave full expose o. his nefa-
rious transactions, together with an interesting
insight into two or three 'love affairs transpir-
ing in various sections of the country.
But it seems that, in addition 10 what was
then said of him, he has been swindling the in
nocent and tender-hearted people OF Little
Rock, Ark, out OF some 1000. When he
was arrested here due notice was forwarded to
that place of his being in custody. Yesterday
Governor Geary received from the Governor OF
Arkansas a requisition for the rascal and an
order granting his removal to the West was at
once forwarded to Alderman McColgan. who
had committed Hardwicke to Moyamensinp
The latter official issued the necessary writ for
his discharge, and Mr. Hardwicke is by this
time on his way to Little Rock where he will
receive hearty welcome unGnes :ionably.
