special attorney, entered suit TO recover the
amount of the above account. and filed with it
the affidayits of A. b. Newcomb and Louis V.
! Caziarc, setting forth that an investigation has
| for short time been going on by the govern
ment into the accounts OF Capt. Howgate as
disbursing officer of the signal service of the
United States army; that such investigation has
developed that the defendant has unlawfully
drawn from the United States Treasury on
checks and appropriated to his own use the
sum above mentioned; that it Is believed that
further investigation will disclose other large
| sums so taken by Howgate. and that he has,
with full knowledge of these facts. and while
the investigation was still going on. suddenly,
and without declaring any other business or
reason for leaving at this time. left the District.
without indicating bow long he will remain, or
when, if ever. he will return: and they have been
informed and believe that Capt. Howgate, be-
fore he leTt, had intended to dispose of some Of

once proceeded to levy on all the real and per-
sonal property and credits belonging TO the de-
fendant.
The statements made that the checks drawn
by HOwgate were made payable to order and

and endorsed by Howgate.

ing In the name of Capt. HOwgate by O'Clock
were in the hands of the marshal. 1t would seem
