That Bigamy and Forgery Case.

AUx6G o1ES&AkAy anu E O1EOIy O6S0Oo Arthur Morton Visited by His Lawful
 Wife i'm Jail-New Charges of Forgery
 Against the Prisoner.
 Mrs. Arthur Morton, of New Haven, Conn, fine looking lady of forty-dve, and hand somely dressed, called at Salem jail shortly before six o'clock on Saturday evening, and was granted permission to see her husband, Budlong A. Morton, alias Marvin, the alleged husband of nine wives. The interview was very brief, and not over five minutes dura- ton. The prisoner greeted his wife cor dialIy, but maintained the same imperturba- ble, suave coolness which has characterized talked freely, and the wife was visibly affected. Morton's serenity was undis- turbed, and he told his wife to keep still and not make a fuss and every thing would come out all right" She said that she had done everything she could for him always, and asked him how it was possi- ble for him to commit the crimes with which he was charged. Morton replied: "They are all false, and I can prove them so." She told him that she believed him and would do all she could for his sake unless the charge Of bigamy were proved against him, and then she could not answer for her conduct. The lady who came to him on Saturday is his law full wife, and the pair have daughter now approaching womanhood. He claims the profession of civil engineer, and says that he has been connected with various railroads,
 but declines to give the names of any Of them He told Jailer Hathaway that he en- tered the Union army as private, served all through the rebellion and came out briga- dier general. The finding of Confederate scrip among his effects has led to the belief that his service was on the other side.
 MT. David J. Preston, of Joplin, Me, for merly of Beverly, also called on General Morton on Saturday, and fully identified him as the man who, it is alleged, defrauded a Joplin bank of about $2,O 900 upon draft which it is claimed was subsequently, found to have been forged. Martin was arrested, as MT. Preston states, and released on bail in SIG, ,O00 for his future appearance, when he quietly gave his bondsmen the slip and left that part of the country. Nr. Preston rode for two hundred miles with him in the same car seat, and is confident that the 'Generar' is the same man. Morton's memory of Pres ton however, is at fault. and he ayers that he has no knowledge of him. The necessary acquisition papers are expected to-day, and Morton will probably take his departure with
 MT. Pinkerton for Virginia tomorrow. There is a second warrant against him from Richmond for alleged bigamy, which is in the possession of MT. Hathaway, who will execute it in the event of bail being furnished on the first complaint. It is not probable that the Richmond author ities would surrender Morton to the Joblin people, as there is enough in Richmond against him, if proved, to give him long term of years. Morton will be taken before Judge Harmon tomorrow. It is stated that bankers in Eufala, Alabama advanced Mor- ton $6, 800 on the alleged forged endorse ment of J. B. Lindsley and the clergyman who married Morton to his Richmond bride. The latter is said to have lent the bridegroom $15. Morton, since he has been in Salem jail, has complained frequently of an affec- ton of the heart, and says he is troubled with heart disease.
 Morton, under the name of John D. King man, figured in Kansas City in 1879 as a rail road man, and was introduced to MT. Sargent of the firm of Moffett & Sargent of the bank of Joplin, Mo. He got draft of $2,0OO cashed by the Joplin bank, and forged the signature of B. P. Wade of Alton, Ill. He claimed his residence as Boston. He was ar- rested in the Union railroad station in St. Louis, in May, 1880, waived examination, and lay in Carthage jail until February, 1881, un- der $10, 900 bonds. He was very ill with paralysis, and Mrs. Morton was with him
 during his term his bail was reduced to $2,- 900 owing to his illness. It was furnished, and he forfeited it and went to New Haven | with his wife, whither he was traced by Da- vid A. Preston, special agent of the Joplin l bank.-B0st01 Ad0ertiSer.

 The Winchester and Clock shop mines played game of base ball at Hamilton Park yesterday afternoon. For the first six inn ings it was everybody's game, but after that the Winchesters had walk over. They are | fine nine and played good game, as their score will show.
 In justice to the Clock shop boys. howev- CT, it is only fair to say that the nine was a | picked nine without organization, and had | never with the full nine that played yesterday had even practice game. There are some | good players at the Clock shop who were l spectators yesterday, and the Winchester | boys will not be surprised if they hear from
 them again this season for a return game. F ollowing is the score:
