Aloti hldh n SAoA
the Council, and acting as Mayor in the
absence Of Navin, was arrested yesterday
afternoon, charged with completely in the
swindle, he having been in company with
Navin in New York when, as is alleged,
the bogus bonds were negotiated. 1t is
believed here, Notwithstanding the state
ment to the contrary from New York, that
Navin obtained S31 1000. This belief is
being strengthened by the activity dis
played by New York parties to find some
property on which to levy an attachment.
1t was discovered to-day that Navin had
secured the old mans signature to two
deeds Of property worth several thousand
dollars, on the representation that they
were leases of deeds running to himself,
and he had mortgaged property for all
they would carry. He had done consid-
cradle business for the old man before, SO
that he readily deceived him. Every day
reveals some new phase in Nayin's rascal
ity. He is still missing.
