OHIO'S CHARLEY Ross CAsE.-A special dis
pa Oh TO the Cincinnati Gazette from Chicago
July l., says: White, of Capt. JOhnsOn'S pre-.
tlnct, has just concluded working I'D a case
IN which a Chicago woman attempted a very
bod game, apparently TO eXtort money from
a bereayed parent in Ohio. January 3, 1870.
FIankIe, the six year Old son of Jesse Waters
of GAINESVILLE, disappeared mysteriously, and
under such circumstances as to leave the i'm
preston that he had been stolen by tramps
lie 1aher was poor man, but he did all i'm
his power to secure clue to the whereabouts
OF bis boy. but without success. Last mOath
he received letter dated Chicago. June :
and signed Mrs. 5. NJ. Richmond 699 Fulton
street, in Which the writer stated that she
knew here the lost boy was, and could restore
him 10 his parents. She went into particulars
very infinitely, and wound up by requesting
MI. W alters TO come here The letter was fol
lowed by a telegram to same effect dated
June IS, IS. Mr.. Waters wrote to friend i'm
Tins city, who laid The matter before Superin
ttndent Hickey, who turned it over to Capt
JOhnSOn for investigation, and this morning
capt johnson presented Officer White'e re-
port. The officer discovered that Mrs. Rich
mond IS clairvOyant, and she said she OBJ
tanned the information by virtue of her clair
yoyant and SpiritualiStic powers She alleged
that the boy had been travelling around the
country with horse thief, since September
and IS now in small town on the Alton rail
road, but the spirits refuse TO impart the name
OF the town. If possible, the woman will be
prosecuted for attempting confidence game

The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1878-09-05

NEw York, September 1.-THE Custom
House Investigating Committee continued
its labors to-day.
The first witness was James Hoffman,
cashier OF the Custom House. He said his
department was not so subject to political
changes as the other departments. 1t
would not be safe to change often. He
believed that many OF the formsin use are
considered burdensome by merchants, and
they could be consolidated somewhat: =.
Deputy Collector Osborne related all
about his department, warehouse entries
and Withdrawals, and bonded or general
order goods. He said II the warehouse
owner and storekeeper were In collnston,
they could swindlc the government by re.
moving goods without paying duties. Pro-
lection against that possibility was the re:
spectability OF the warehouse owner and
tie frequent change OF the storekeeper.
Adjourned until tomorrow.
