about to secure a requisitiOn, which he
did yesterday, and a party supposed To h.
Detective Tucker is now en- route Ia

JACKSON, Tenn. September 6, 1881.
Chief Of Police, s,dalia:
From publication i'm the Police Ga-
zette Of the 10th of September, | learn Of
the presence in your city Of an insurance
swindler calling himself J. VoIney Ryan.
The same man appeared here ON the 18th
Of last month and stayed until the 18th.
He passed here rs II. II. Harmon, and
himself rs the general agent OF
the Mutual insurance company Of New
York. He formed here "iocal board Of
consisting of ten persons, each
having policy of IS 900 in his company
and each paying him one years premium
in advance, in all amounting to 81 800.
With this amount he left here, going to
Memphis, where he remained until
August 30, alter which time
NJ trace Of him can he found.
The gentlemen whom he swindled here are
lble and anxious to adopt some vigorous
means iOr his arrest. This We believe can |
Ne easily and quickly accomplished ii the
proper steps are taken. The first thing !
o be done, it seems to us, is to offer a re-
ward sufficiently large to make the cap
ure certain. We have already offered |
eward Of 500. Ii the parties swindled !
n your city will contribute similar re-
yard, We will make ours $500, thus max
ng the total reward $500. We can then |
'ffer $500 reward, reserve 500 to paw the !
necessary expense I've have already ex-
'ended about SO in travelling and print
ng, besides the time for five or six DAYS
+ the gentlemen interestedj aud We think
re will secure his capture al once. Allof
he time and trouble in the
natter We will give without
barge, and the proposition of the r.
lard agreed upon, We will at once
lace in bank, subject to the order III the
arty making the arrest. Will you place
S in immediate correspondence with the
arties interested in the matter, turn this
etter over to them and ask them to answer
t once? | will be at the Southern hotel in
