After his arrest Moses engaged counsel,
who presented to Judge Donohue petition
for habeas corpus, returnable on last Tuesday.
The petition states that the prisoner is arrest

Excellency Wade Hampton. Governor OF
South Carolina, on the Governor Of New
York, for the body of said Moses. charged
with forgery; that no warrant from the Gov
ernor of New YORK accompanies the said re-
QUESTION, and that the alleged forgery is that
of name upon an usurious and void prom
issory note The writ was granted. At the
same time Moses counsel telegraphed to
Governor Robinson, Of New York, asking il
Moses alleged forgery Of a name upon an
usurious and void promissory note was crime,
and if any pecuniary obligation was SC
created.
The history of the crime in brief, is to the
effect that in January, 1877, Moses went into
the jewelry store of Mr.. Allan in Charleston
and after selecting articles to the amount OF
1916, and being refused credit for the same
proposed to give his note, endorsed BY Wood
ruff To this the jeweler assented, and next
day Moses produced note purporting to be
endorsed by Woodruff and the articles were
delivered to the Ex-Governor. A few days
subsequent to the above, Mr.. Allan learned
from Woodruff that he had not endorsed such
a note for Moses, pronouncing it forgery
Moses, on being confronted by Mr.. Allan
confessed and made partial restitution by re-
turning about$lOO worth ofthejewelry. The
balance of the note has not yet been paid.
Proceedings we're instituted last December
and about month ago requisition was Oh
tanned from Governor Hampton and spe
cial agent was sent to execute the warrant
which resulted, as above stated, in his arrest
last Sunday night. Moses will arrive in
Charleston in few days and will be lodged in
Jail to await trial at the June term of the
Court.
