THE Petersburg Sentinel tells OF
sgindler who came to town few DAYS
a,o and made himself familiar with Mr..
Csc. II. White, an OF. and land speculs-
tor of this place. In the course OF few
DAYS he made decided Impression on
White, who entered into business en-
gapement with him and then introduced
MIN to the First National Bank. The
rogue. who went under the name of
Morton, deposited some drafts amount
ing to about 1000 in the bank for col
lection, without asking an advance. A
few days afterwsrd he presented note
endorsed by White to the bank, which
the bank discounted for him. As soon
a he received the money he took his
wife and 'sloped." When White re-
turned he pronounced his endorsement a
forgery. Morton is gone, no one knows
where.
