His Rendition as n Fugitive from
Justice.
The announcement Of the arrest Of A.
Woodward, at San Francisco, BY Sheriff
Anderson, created quite a sensation
throughout the city this morning. Our
legal reporter visited the Office Of the
Clerk of the Criminal Court and was
permitted TO examine the Indictment
and papers in the case by Deputy Clerk
Dick CaperS. 1t appears that Shelby
county has moved 10 the matter Of the
extradition Of A. Woodward to answer
an indictment for embezzlement. Tho
indictment wal found by the Grand Jury
OF the Criminal Court on the 7th day Of
January, 1874. It was a bill of indict-
ment ex oficiO prepared by the Attorney
General, charging Woodward with m
bezzlement, and that no one will appear
to prosecute. The bill charges that A.
Woodward, laborer, late of the county
OF Shelby, on the first day of November.
1873, in the county Of Shelby, being then
aud there acting as County Trustee.
and by virtue of that authority, having
then and there received the sum OF
81, 1863, lawful currency of the United
States, from George R. Powell, Tax-Col-
Of Shelby county, j.. Harvey
Mathes, Tax Collector on Privileges, it
being taxes collected and paid over to
said A. Woodward; and that the said
A. Woodward, not regarding his duty as
Trustee and intending to cheat
and defraud said county, did then and
there fraudulently and fe~loniously EN-.
bezzle and convert to his own use the
said sum Of $77,563, the property Of
Shelby county, against the peace and
of the State. The indictment ia
