Theodore s. Hatch, a gentleman trav-
cling for the drug house OF Sellers Il Co.,
Pittsburg, came to this city few days
ago and drew some money from different
houses with which his firm has been do
ing business in the drug line, giving
drafts on Sellers g. Co. The parties he
obtained money from are j. Il G. Reakirt
Is Co., Burdsal Bros, and John D. Park,
the whole amount being near 5000.
The drafts would have been all right,
but, unfortunately, the firm OF Sellers u
Go. went into bankruptcy on the 10th OF
this month, and the money has been ad-
vanced to Hatch since that time. None
of the firms mentioned above have the
least suspicion, save the Burdsals, that
Hatch meant to defraud, as is evidenced
by the fact that none have sued Hatch,
but they, and Mr.. Reakirt, one of the
parties who advanced money on the
drafts, 90 on Hatch's bond Tor his ap-
pearance for trial on the 4th OF January.
Hatch was in Mount Vernon, o., when
the arrest was made, and we learn i@om
MIR. Reakirt that his friend Hatch, whom
he has known for twenty-five years, was
on the point of starting for this city
again when he was arrested to answer
| the charge of obtaining money under
false pretenses.
1t is not likely the case will 60 to trial,
as Hatch is highly esteemed and consid-
cred entirely innocent of any intention
to defraud, and would not be likely, as
Mr.. Rea kirt puts it, 'sto sell himself for
that paItry sum-"

AHandcusfed A skeleton.

On Friday, Nov. 18th, while Deputy
Marshal II. T. Yagger was bringing to
this city VIM. Carter, indicted by the
Grand Jury for counterfeiting, the
prisoner burst from the stateroom in
which he was confinea, and jumped from
the boat into the river. 1t was early in
the morning and quite dark. The offlcer
remembered having put handouts on the
prisoner when they retired for the night,
but could not tell, owing to the dark
ness, whether he had succeeded in slip
ping them from his hands or not.
The prisoner had told Yagger that he
was respectfully connected in this city
and had wife and seven children living
here, on whose account he regretted the
disgrace OF his arrest as he was not a
confirmed criminal, this being in reality
his first offense. He also co M
planned of feeling unwell and fire.
quently during the night had wished
himself dead, but the theory OF
his suicide was little believed at the
time, as all search for the body had
proved unavailing, and 1t was thought
be had swum to the shore and escaped.
This morning, however, gentleman
called on Coroner Maley and informed
him thata body, answering the descrip-
tion of Carter, had been found, though
very little flesh was left on tue corpse,
but on the bones of the wrists was pair
OF handcuffs securely locked. The body
was found imbedded in the sand on the
river shore, near California, about ten
miles above this city.
