THE FESTIVE MORTON.
ST. LOUIS, May 10.-Another apparently
crooked transaction of Gen. B. A. Morton,
who is in Jail here charged with forgery,
turned up to-day. 1t appears Morton was in
Leadville, Col. last month, where he made
the acquaintance of number of prominent
citizens, among them ]. M. Brasher, of the
leading real estate firm of Brasher &c Gay.
He cut quite figure among gentlemen of
wealth and position, and on April 24th, he
presented to the Bank of Leadville a draft
for S20, 900, drawn by j. b. Drew on the
Fourth National bank, st.
Lonis, payable to order of b. A. Nor
ton. Mr.. Brasher, into whose favor Morton
seems to have specially ingratiated himself,
not only identified Morton at the bank but
endorsed the draft and Morton received the
money and left town. The draft came
here in due time, and the bank, not know
ing Drew, had it protested. When asked
about the affair to-day, Morton acknowl-
edged having received the money,
and said if Drew was here he
could give q satisfactory explanation
of the affair. The bank officers and police
authorities here think Drew a myth and that
the draft was bogus. Application of Nor
ton for redress under writ of habeas COR
pus will be argued tomorrow.
