A Little Elephant.


Ork Herald.
1t is becoming u seriously considered
question here in Boston now whether the
sanity Winslow is, after all, the terrible
sinner that public opinion held him to be
before his arrest in London. He has, at
least, been a cheeky deceiver, and by his
faculties doubtless succeeded in raising
handsome sums Of money from the unso
phisticated; but the suspicion is gradually
dawning upon the community that he has
not been such u wholesale torger rs he
was originally represented That he has
committed crimes of this description and
is likely to go to prison for them is un
questionably true; but it is quite likely to
turn out that he had accomplices who may
be obliged to share ignominy and punish
ment with him.
While it was believed that NinsloW
would reach Rotterdam, and thus be Sc
cured from apprehension by American au-
thorites, there was apparently great re-
gret among tinanciers and his alleged vie
TINS. Now that he has been captured and
is likely to be brought here tor trial these
same men appear more disturbed than
ever and from their movements it would
seem that Winslow's absence was nects-

in other quarters
The rumors that many of the notes, ut
first pronounced torgeries, have been ad
mitted to be genuine since Wnslow's ar
rest are not contradicted. Four Of them
have already been paid up, the aggregate
amount of them being not less than 500
0O0 How much more OF his paper, alleged
to bear fraudulent Endorsements, will be
found backed by genuine signatures re-
mains to be seen but there is Il general
impression that there will be sufficient dis
covered to materially reduce the number
and magnitude of the Methodist parson' )
crimes The reported astonishment OF
Winslow when informed that he mad been
indicted by the Grand Jury tor forgery,
when taken in connection with his appa-
rent anxiety to be brought to Boston at
once, are facts suggestive OF an impression
that he can make pretty good defense
against the multitude of crimes which
have been charged against him. Indeed,
it is not impossible that his arrival and
trial here will be productive OF even a
greater sensation than was the first an
nouncement of his crooked transactions
MIR. A. l. Kenyon, President OF the En-
change Bank, has resigned suddenly by
invitation Of the Directors; and the fact
that the institution over which he presided
was heavy loser by Winslow (or said to
be) would seem to Indicate q possible diff
fculty on that account The EX-President.
however, may be able to defend himself
against these current liiriois and slispi
cions of the street.
The cable has reported that. when ar
NE;,clo1,r cta tbaf ha Nod loft HI
affairs here in the hands of an attorney,
but that he refused to Indicate who the at
torney was. Various parties have been
suspected. and some of them interviewed
on the subject William &. Green said
that he had done business for him, but
that he had employed other lawyers be-
sides, but he would not give their names.
One of the other lawyers referred to is J.
b. Goodrich, and another S +. f. Porter;
but both of these gentlemen, like Mr.
Green, are not inclined to divulge that in
formation which the public is so anxious to
learn.
How soon Winslow can 6e brought here
is question considerably discussed, for it
may be that before the arrival of the otll
GERS events may transpire to cause the
prisoner to change his mind and decline
to come, unless actually forced to. If this
should be the case, the laws Of England.
according to the opinion OF an eminent
Boston lawyer. are such that a whole year
might elapse before the proper authority
for his extradition is granted. That Wins
low might change his mind is possible
from the fact that there could probably be
a larger subscl iption raised in Boston to
keen him away than to bring him here
