New York, October 5sh.-Franklia J..
Moses, formerly Governor of South Carolina,
was locked up this morning on q charge of
swindling William L. Hall, retired hotel
keeper, out OF S25. He secured that trifing
sum by agreeing to recover some property
stolen from Hall, if il were paid him. He
wanted to compromise by paying the S25
back, but Hall refused and will prosecute.
The Times says: Moses plan was to go to
Jefferson Market with his law partner and
procure o search warrant from Justice
Morgan. With this process the property, if
found, could be seized and the party would
be forced to make settlement. Contdinr
Major Hall fell into the trap, agreed to every
thing, and handed Moses $50. Just as
Moses was about to leave he called the Major
aside and asked Hall if he was Freemason.
Major Hall said he was. and Moses gripped
him. Then he said Gnsinuatingly), "Maior,
now that we know each other as brothers, let
me have So more" The money was added
to the $40, and Moses disappeared only to
return as q detected swindler. Moses looked
very gray and shabby. Inspector Byrnes put
stop to all negotiations for a settlement.
