The latest information learned from official
sources relative TO Genets wanderngs. Is that he was
seen Tuesday last RECALLING himself in the restaurant
at the Hornellsvie station the Erie Railway. The
sheriff received the news yesterday. from a person
who stated that he could not have been mistaken to
the man. This story received with the

The fact cannot be denied that the hope Of capturing
Genet has become very weak, and 1t is deemed more
probable that he will return and give himself up to the
authorities II half OF the rumors as TO his travels
true being positively asserted at time that he
