THE men, Morrison and Drummond,
whose arrest night before last created so
much excitement in the city, had hear.
ing before Judge Bross yesterday morn
lug, and were discharged. Miss Watkins,
tho woman who wrote the letter present.
ed to Judge Bross by the young man
Ruhl, acknowledged its contents to be in
the main false and stated that it was
written for the purpose Of deceivng her
friends in Evansville, and to make them
believe she had been kidnapped
and taken away from home
against her will. Tho story told
by Ruhl that he had been kept on the
boat and watched so closely that hc could
not escape, WAS, according to his own evl.
dence, talse. At Louisville he was sent
out to bay provisions tor the boat, and
spent nearly the whole day in the city, and
uad every opportunity to have the guilty
parties brought to justice, bu, made no
attempt to do so. At the conclusion Of the
evidence, Morrison and Drummond were
discharged, when they and Miss
Watkins left the court together, and
soon after the whole party, except Ruhl,
were on their way down the river.
