lily to Hillsboro, and during a visit after
wards to the South on business tour,
his wife took up with stranger. Last

by Steve Mead and the Chief, and they
found roll Of money in each shoe, and
being so well encouraged they finally
stripped him and came across another
a manner, and in such a position that
none but the most experienced
scoops" would ever think of look
ing. The whole amount recovered
amounts to 1905. The prisoner
states in his own behalf that he was led
away by a bad woman, whom he was de-
luded into marrying, and that his father
is wealthy resident Of Ashmore, ILL.,
nois. He claims that the money found
on him, however, is his own property.
