Dukes The Infamous.

n. l.. Dukes arrived in Uniontown or
Sunday night and has not been out of his
room since. He sent out papers Monday
to the Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives, declining to take his seat. Monday
noon notice was served on him to the
effect that if he did not leave town in
twenty -four hours he would have to abide
the consequences. He will not be molested
in his room, but there are threats of vio-
lence in case he appears ON the street. A
committee OF citizens was in session yes
terday and their action will be secretly
kept. He says that he would as soon die
as live, and that he will shoot the first
man who attempts to touch him.
A dispatch from Harrisburg, Pa says
The committee entrusted with the inves-
tigation of Dukes title to a seat in the
House met this afternoon. Among the
witnesses examined was State Treasurer
Bailey, who handed to the committee the
letters produced at the trial of Dukes in
Fayette County. He said that he had a
letter in his possession, written BY Dukes
to Captain Mutt, which had not been pub.
lished. The family did not desire to have
it made public. He promised to furnish it
to the committee, with the understanding
that its contents should not be revealed to
any person except members of the commit
tee. 1t is limited that the letter reflects
more severely ON the character of Miss Mutt
than the published letters. Cashier Bow
man, of the National Bank of Fayette
County, who is expected to prove Dukes
handwriting, did not arrive to-day owing
to railroad wreck near Pittsburg. There
is no doubt that Dukes seat will be de-
clared vacant within a few days, whether
he makes his appearance or not"
