WickliGe.
The following, from q late numbe, Of the
Selma Times, tends to- throw some suspicion
On the New Orleans Times account of the
arrest Of Wiekiitfe and the famous Wick
!iffe-Strauss swindle, which our contem-
bOrary laid before it's readers some days
ago. IF Che statements made by the Times
had been true, Wickliffe would not have
behaved the way he did on the Alabama
train:
The notorious individual whose name is
at the head of this has in time given us
several subjects for locals. Once more he
comes upon the stage.

Western Union Telegraph office in this place.

vent to the depot to take the train. While
seated in the car gentleman walked in,
whom Mr.. Nettles at once recognized as DR..
j. Polk Shelby, alias eX-Auditor Wicklitfe,
Of Louisiana. The train left the depot in
moment afterward, and before Mr.. Net'les
could communicate with gentlemen here
whom he knew desired to see DR.. Shelby
Knowing, no matter how, that the doctor
was wanted in Selma to answer little mis-
Gives that had arrived within the last few
days from New Orleans, Mr.. Nettles deter
fnined to keep a look out on the doctor and
ase the telegraph at the first station Shelby,
ever on the OH rtre, smelt mice from Mr..
Nettles' movements and was evidently i'll
at ease.
Mr.. Netttes used the wires at Planters
vile and asked for a reply at Randolph.
When Randolp phi was reached Mr.. Nettles
went to the telegraph office, and finding no
reply, communicated with Selma and in
structed an answer to be sent to Monte
SallO. BY this time the doctor became
wisibly agitated, and visions of a place be-
Mind the bars, fitted before him and he
paced the floor excitedly and nervously.
When tie train reached Montevallo Mr..
Seefles lett IL and repaired to the fele graph |
office, but in the meantime instructed the |
