SWANS CONFESSION. - Swans letter to
Mr.. Hawkes.. his father-in-law, reveals that
he was defaulter, that his dealings as town
treasurer were crooked, that he cheated his
neishbors in order to get money, and had
been going from bad to worse for the last
two years. Of the corn shelter and jewelry
swindles he says nothing, though had it not
been for the danger of arrest on account of
these rascaities he might now be occupying
his seat in the legislature, and making
further raids upon unsuspecting farmers and
hard-working factory girls.
