Upon the reception Of these papers the

THE OFFENCE.
Marvin Is charged above with getting
money under false preteuces, which is lar
ceny-grand larceny in this instance. The
punishment Is confinement In the peniten-
tiaIy not less than three nor more than ten
years. To convict Mr.. Witt will have to
secure witnesses from the First National
Bank OF Madison, Wis. (supposing that
fharo fu ou,b IN fnstftuffonN oud tuifnaac pa
from some other places, may be.
But Mr.. Witt may, and probably will, In
dict Marvin ube first grand jury is Septem-
ber 20th) for bigamy aud also for forgery.
He would have charged Marvin with
forgery yesterday, but that he had to incor-
porate a c0py OF the forged paper in his
charge. That he could not do. 1t was In
the hands OF Mr.. BrOwnell, having been so
placed by the FIRST National Bank in the
furtherance OF justice. The embeZzlement
charge was sufficient to bring him on the
other matters will be fixed after Marvin Is
safe in Richmond Jail.
TIE PRISONER.
Pinkerton was in New York yesterday.
he was directed TO 60 from there to Boston
after the warrant OF rendition. He will
probably not secure that until today.
Then he goes on to Lynn. SO he Will
very likely not be able to produce bis
prisoner in. Richmond before Monday or
Tuesday.
Several Commonwealth lay claim to the
body OF Marvin, all wanting it for incarce-
ration purposes but Virginia is ahead Of
them all. Thanks 10 hessrs. Pinkerton and
Brownel, Mr.. Witt will, it is believed,
have the first lien upon him.
Mr.. Brownell some time ago thought that
be had found Murvln in or about New
Haven, and steps were taken TO have a
requsition issued upon the Governor Of
Massachusetts, but the thing fell through.
THE NEW HAVEN HUNT.
About the 1st of August Pinkerton's de.
tectiyes were in New Haven looking for
Marvin, and at that time a newspaper OF
that city published the following: 1t has
been ascertained that the suspected man is
none other than b. A. Morton. He Is the
man who was recently arrested ia Missouri
for forgery, who was kept in the Joliet
prison for some time aud recently re-
turned here, released on bonds. AT the
time OF his arrest it was strongly be-
leyed by western police authorities that
be was one Of the most extensive operators
with forged checks the country had ever
seen. IL the suspicious OF the Pinkert0n men
are correct, Mr.. Morton is one OF the most
accomplished swindlers ever followed by
detectives. They are said TO be much cha
gtinned because he was not here. IL will be
remembered that Mr.. Morton came here
from Missouri very much OF an invalid.
Since bis return he has, as far as is known,
remained quietly at his home. The i'm
poster is described as about tifty.five years
old, and OF fine personal appearance and
plausible manners. subsequently it was
said that Marvin and Morton were not the
same, but the fact was not established II
seems.
THE RASCAL IN CANADA.
According to dispatch from Chicago
August 7th to s.. Louis paper, the Mer-
chants Bank Of Canada received draft for
collection purporting to have been drawn
by the First National Bank Of Madison,
Wis, upon the First National Bank Of Chica-
go. 1t is, said the telegram, made payable
to one Thomas Marvin, and was signed by
the assistant cashier Of the Madison bank,
the name being Taylor. The draft was pro-
tested, and II was discovered to be a forgery,
the president OF the Madison bank, y. B.
Vsnslyke, stating that they had no assistant
cashier, and no man named Taylor was cOn-
nected with the bank. The draft came from
Toronto, Canada, and the forger, Marvin.
secured the money at the time 1t was sent
here for collection. This is Marvn's second
appearance in the role Of forger by false re-
presentation"
THE LAKEWOOD, n. j., MARRIAGE.
After the exposure OF Marvin's crimes In
Richmond the fact was brought out that In
June young widow OF Lakewood, n. j.,
daughter OF a minister, answered an adver-
tisement for gOverness. A man repre-
senting himself as Albert T. Marvin, q
member OF the American Legation In
Paris, soon presented himself TO Der, and
shortly afterwards obtained the promise OF
her hand iu marriage. On the Oh OF July
they were married. He took her to Wash.
iugton and there basely deserted her.
The newspaper account OF the money
getting i'm this case is that Marvin casually
stated that although he had adequate re-
sources, he was shor. OF ready cash, and be
presented two drafts-one for $500 and
another for S3,400-to the clergy yman, and
said IL would be an accommodation to have
either one honored. His intended father
in.law interested himself in the matter,
and, as it was not convenient to get
either draft cIshed ia the village, be-
came personally responsible to two
merchants for $100-$70 OF one party
and $50 of another-which Marvin put
in his pocket. giving his personal check
for II. He has so far failed to meet the OBJ
legation. A few weeks afterwards a tele-
gram was received from the Richmond
Chief Of Police accurately describing the
Lakewood Marvin, and saying that II he
appeared his arrest was desired. The tele-
gram removed all doubt as to the identity
OF Thomas Marvin and Albert T. Marvin.
After her return to her home the Lake
wood Mrs. Marvin received letters from the
