succeeded in deirauding the First National
Bank was exhibited in court yesterday. 1t
has been In The possession OF Mr.. BrOwDell
since the exposure OF the forgery by its re-
turn (unpad) TO the bank. IL has all the
appearance Of genuinene-s, being on
regularly-prnted form Of one bank check
| ing upon another, aud purpOrts TO have
been drawn by the First National Bank oil
Chicago upon the First National Bank OF
Madison. Wis, in favor Of Beard Il Brad
ley, ot Chicago, and purpOrts by that firm
TO have been assigned to Marvin-"pa T..
A. Marvin" il says. Certainly t@o, proba-
bly, three men, bad part in getting 1t up,
Judging from the writing. IL would de-
ceiye any bank officer who did not have
sufficient disirust OF the party presenting II
10 telegraph and inquire about It's genuine
ness. In this case Marviu's plans were so
successfully laid that nad it been for three
times its amount IL would no doubt have
been promptly csshed. Marvin took for

or bill Of exchange on New York.

Colonel Young, that be limped on one leg,
ak d that upon coming back into court from

hasn't even a case of rheumatism.
The CROWD.
The crowd at the courtroom was very
great, and there was great anxiety TO see the
prisoner, but there was no soft OF indignity
offered or suggested either IN or out Of the
court.
Going to isll he walked along slowly be-
tween two policemen, while another fol-
lowed on behind. About twenty-five or
thirty persons, many Of them negroes, fol-
lowed at a respectful distance. Marvin,
however, was suspicious. He was thinking
quite likely about lyuchers. His mind bs:
been considerably burdened on that subject,
for more than once on the way hither be
asked Mr.. Brownell what provision had
been made for his reception at Richmond.
| II was only when be wss within few miles
OF Richmond that he was told that there
would be no trouble, whereat be appeared
to be greatly relieved.
30 THOUGHT OF LYNcHlEG.
The truth is that while some people here
have candidly expressed their opinion a to
what punishment professional betrsyer OF
women deserved, there never has been any
real danger that they would rise up and
take the law into ibeir own hands. This is
sn orderly community, and the people are
content 10 let tbe law take its course, CONT
dent as they are 10 this case that he identi-
| ty is or will be fully established that the
witnesses from other States to prove blga-
my and forgery will be obtained; that there
will be vigorous prosecution, and that,
Il guilty, the prisoner will be promptly
convicted aud properly punished.
MARVIN AT JAIL.
Arrived at the Jail the doors were found
already open for him; Marvin was prompt
IN ushered into the yard and the outer doors
we're then closed upon the crowd.
The handsome gentleman was then
searched by Mr.. Jailer Wren. The most
formidable things found upon his person
were q couple of newspapers. He submit
ted 10 the search quietly and without any
seeming distress OF mind at his approach
ing incarceration. The only remarks he
had to make were in the nature OF an in
auiry as to whether a yaliss or trunk OF
clothing had come for him by express. He
was answered that 1t had not. He was then
nut into the inner yard and the iron gate
was shut upon him.
By the way, among Maryin's effects found
st LYNN was the suit OF clothing worn by
him at The wedding here. IL was identified
by Mr.. Brownel, as was the suit OF blue he
now has on.
