erty of Three Parties Who
Had Befriended Him.
The name of Jesse Heinz IS not un-
familiar to many readers OF the BAzoo.
He is young man abou. % years Of age,
rather good looking. and has the gift Of
CAB in such a degree that the average cir
Gus agent when brought in contact with
him would retire vanquished from the
field. Especially does he pride himself on
his shape and ahable manners, and on ac-
count of these distinguished characteristics
he has become quite prominent in certain
circles
He came to Sedalia in January last from
New Orleans $50 he said in company with
Charles Vase, and the two secured EMPLOY
ment as canvasseIs for this paper. They
were soon detected in crooked work, which
called for their discharge, and for brief
period they were
INMATES Of THE CALABOOsE
While Heinz was the guest OF Marshal
Shy, he enlisted the sympathy of
gentleman OF this city, who Sc
cured his release, and the next
heard of him he was employed as reporter
on the Eagle-Times. Here he had ample
scope to display the unlimited cheek of
which he was possessed, and il took but a
few weeks to win the contempt of all with
whom he came in contact.
During this time he boarded with Mrs.
PattisOn, on ST. Louis street, into whose
good graces he had fallen. Saturday night
would come around, the time when board
bills are usually liquidated, and Jesse fail
ed to respond. He always had some ex-
cuse, and IS he made excellent promises for
the future, he was permitted to remain
until he had run up bill Of $50.
While a guest there all of the boarders
had taken dislike to him, and two of them
LEFT THE HOUSE ON HIS ACCOUNT.
They remained away but a few weeks,
however, when they sent word to Mrs Pat
tisOn that they would return if she would
send Heinz away She had taken COM
passion on him because he was an orphan,
and on account of the promises he made,
but at last her patience gave way, and she
told him he must seek other quarters. He
remained a week longer after this noti6ca-
ton, and then promised TO leave, and the
two boarders who had left on his account
returned.
But he didn't leave-not much. He
had too soft a thing. For two weeks
longer he stopped at the house, slipping in
at night and eating his meals in the so Ii
tude of his own room. At last he did
leave, and the next heard of him was at
the boarding house of Porter Dobyns. on
Seventh street.
He had, in the meantime.
MADE A SIGNAL FAILURE
as a newspaper reporter, and received the
grand bounce. He is an expert penman,
and on this account received little work
in one of TIE county Offices, where, it is
said, he rendered satisfaction. All of this
time he was being continually befriended
by Mr.. F. E. Hoffman, for whom he did
some work, both here and at McAllister
Springs, at which latter place he made
frequent visits.
While working in the county office he
paid visit to BoOnville, where he en-
to secure employment on one of
the papers there, but was unable to do so.
While in that city he made the acquaint-
ance Of a most estimable young lady, to
whom he paid his warmest regards. He
made fabulous statements of the wealth he
was to inherit, and
ASKED THE YOUNG LADY's HAND IN MAR
RlAGE.
She was not to be caught by such noodle
though. An investigation on the part OF
he young lady's mother followed, and
Helms true character was ascertained,
when he was unceremOniOusly bounced.
While in the Vine Clad he had the mis-
fortune to fall down stairs, breaking his
,rm and a couple of ribs, and since that
lime has had to carry his arm in sling,
being unable to do any kind of work, even
mad he 80 desired, which, in all probability,
is not the case. He still remained at Mr..
Dobyns' boarding house, but as far as pay
my his bill was concerned, came the same
lodge that he did at Mrs. Pattison's.
On Wednesday last, show day, he Dor
,owed from a young dry goods clerk re-
7Olver, SAYING he did not care to attend the
night performance without being armed.
On Thursday he
MADE SOME EXCUSE
about returning the weapon, and kept it
in his possession He also borrowed guitar
rom one of our city music dealers, and
bl5 volume of Dickens works from
friend. All of these he took to Cohn, on
Friday, unknown to the owners. and on the
Ot raised $7.l5, which amount he put way
Town deep in his pocket.
On Saturday he met the party from
whom he had borrowed the revolver,
md again made some excuse about not re-
urning it sOoner, but said be would give
Il to him that evening. Instead, however,
ne took the Lexington branch train that
lfternoOn for McAllister, since which time
ne has not been seen or heard of here.
NOTHING WAS LEFT.
He left with the gentlemen above spoken
II the key to his room in. the Ilgen block,
aging all his clothes, guitar and other ar
icles of value were there. On learning
hat he had left, the friend visited the
Dom, but the only thing he was able to
ind was pair of dirty socks and collar.
All of the parties victimized srequite in
liRnant, and unless the matter is straight
