FINALLY LANDED.
7. C. Gordon Delivered to the Turnkey by
Deputy Marshal Hart.

T. c. Gordon, alias B. F. Gardner, who was
indicted with Arthur L. Blue upon the charge of
using the mails for fraudulent purposes, was
placed in Jail here by Deputy United States
Marshal Hart on Saturday evening He was ar
rested last week at Tavares, Fla, where he was
employed as an agent for the sale of real estate
and he has been in the South nearly the whole of
the time since his disappearance from this city
There are several thousand persons in the
United States who will doubtless remember Mr..
Gordon quite distinctly from having ordered
barometers from him at the low price of twenty
eight cents each, and, in that connection, they
are not likely to forget that, although they re
mitted the aforesaid sum, they never received
their barometers. Blue was associated with
Gordon in the operation of the scheme as an I'M
known partner The stamp revenues of the
government were very largely increased by
the business which they did Thousands
of orders from all parts of the country were re
ceived every week, but very few of them were
filed and the cash receipts of the swindlers ag
gregated a considerable sum- When the Post
Office Department discovered that they were
operating swindle the postmaster refused to
deliver mail to them and Gordon disappeared.
His whereabouts was learned a few weeks ago
by accident, and when an Indictment was re-
turned by the grand jury at its last
session Deputy United States Marshal
Hart sent to capture him. After
his arrest Gordon sent telegram to Gen.
Foster. the marshal, requesting him to say to
Blue, Hold the fort for l am coming too, but for
reasons, this bit of encouraging information was
not communicated TO Blue. Gordon refuses to
make any statement regarding the business re-
lations between himself and Blue, but claims
that he had no FRAUDULENT intentions, and that he
would have filed all orders if it had not been
that his business was ruined by the postoffice
officials and competitors He claims, further
that it was stipulated that Hedlnger, who sue
ceeded him in the business, should fill all orders
