visits, by forged letters OF introduction and
most adroit behavior, induced her to marry
bin, meanwhile getting bogus check CASH

he left the city. He deserted the lady ut
Albion, New York, after cruelty ioisting
upon her the story OF a fatal accident 10
her mother, and then fled from the hot anger
OF the country. He was heard OF here and
there. Stories OF his rascalities in several
States appeared In the newspapers. De.
scrptions OF his personal appearance were
sent 10 all the police authorities, but no ex-
act Information OF his whereabouts was for
a considerable time obtainabIe.
Mr.. BR0wYELL TO Mr., DAVENPORT.
Yesterday, however, Mr.. Isaac Daven.
port, Jr., president OF the First National
Bank OF Richmond, received the following
telegram, causing general qualification In
the community as soon SIS the Tact became
known:

have got him shut up here.
Forward requisltion to Robert A. Pink

A. NJ. BRowNRLL.
A telegram addressed to Major Poe was
received early yesterday from Mr.. Pinker-
ton, at New York, stating the fact OF the
apprehension OF Marvin at Lynn, his ident-
idcalion by Mr.. Brownell, asking for a re-
QUESTION, and desiring tbat Major Poe
would have him Pinkerton) appointed
agent OF the State Of Virginia to escort
Marvin back TO Richmond.
PERSONAL AND PECULIAR.
Mr. Alexander NJ. Brownell was lately
employed by The committee OF the House Of
Delegates In the investigation of the Second
Auditors Office. Last winter he was a COM
mittee clerk OF the House. Before that be
had been actively in business here. He Is q
brother-in-law OF the lady who was de-
ceiyed and entrapped by Monster Marvin,
and was the unintentional instrument In the
deiraudlng Of the First National Bank by
Marvin.
On The day Of the marriage Mr.. Brownell
introduced Marvin 10 Mr.. Glover, clshier
Of the First National Bank-a gentleman
renowned here for caution, prudence, and
all the other qualities that 60 TO make up a
valuable bank official.
Mr.. Brownell briefly told Mr.. Glover
that Mr.. Marvin was about TO be married (;
that he wanted to get a check caShed, and,
may be. that Marvin bad settled $4,000 on
his bride. Anyway, Marvin stood by bow
ing. A quiet, genteel.looking man OF about
1ity, smiling pleasantly as the marriage was
referred 10, no suspicion was aroused and
no delay was made.
TIE BOGUS PAPER.
The paper he offered was a check for
t765, purporting 10 be drawn by the First
National Bank OF Madison, Wis, on the
First National Bank OF Chicago, In favor
Of Beard IL Bradley. Beard a. Bradley are
Well.krown loan brokers OF Chicago. Their
names are in all the books OF the mercantile
agencies. and their rating is tirst-class.
Now, here was modest and rather pre-
possessing man, introduced by a cIliZen
well known to all the bank officials. He
was about to be married and TO go Off on q
wedding tour, and, quite naturally, wanted
money. To get 1t he presented check,
having all the semblance OF genuiueness,
drawn by one national bauk upon another
national bank in favor OF a well-known
Iosn. broker, and by said loan broker en-
dorsed TO T. A. Marvin. The money y az
forthcoming, OF course.
That was about Wednesday. On Satur-
day there came q telegram from Chicago
saying that the check was q forgery. Mr..
Glover promptly Informed Mr.. Brownell.
SHOCK.
Mr. Brownell was dumbfounded. He
knew OF MarVin's letters OF introduction
and letters OF credit. He knew that Mar.
vim had signed papers for $4,000 bridal
gift.
That telegram was the first streak OF light
upon the real character OF the villain. 1t
somewhat prepared the unhappy Iady's rela-
tives for the news that afterwards came
That Marvin was probably a married man
already; that his trade was the duping OF
young women; that that business bad been
prosecuted in manv parts Of the country,
and that he bad deserted bis Richmond
bride In New York State and fed, no one
knew where.
THE PURSUIT.
The First National Bank offered no re-
ward by public advertisement, but Mr.. Da-
venpOrt said he would give 5000 to secure
Marvin, or whatever bis name may turn out
to be. 1t seems that PinkertOn's detectives,
assisted by Mr.. Brownell, have been after
him. The result is that he was traced TO
the great accommodating city OF Lynn,
Mass. that there he was identified by Mr..
BrOwnell; that there he was arrested, aud
there lies in jail awaiting the warrant OF
rendition TO be issued by the Governor Of
Massachusetts, upon the requisition OF Gov
ernor Holiday.
DOCUMENTARY.
After the telegrams we're received and
Common ealth's- Attorney Witt notified,
the Governors Office was visited, forms
procured, and the result was the prepara-
ton OF the two following papers:
"To His Exceiiency The Governor of Yir-
ginid Your petitioner, S. b. VIII, Com
lnonwealth's attorney for the city OF Rich
mond, would respectfully ask that reQuisi-
iion be issued upon the Governor OF the

who is charged with felony committed in
the city Of Richmond.
"The undersigned further represents that
he has sufficient evidence to convict the said
Marvin when delivered here to the proper
