Mr.. C. b. Wyatt, who has been for
a number Of years . resident OF King
and Queen county, and who recently
moved TO Richmond from near s.. Ste
yen's church, says shat on Monday the
9th Of February he met Cluverius on
his way to King and Queen court, which
met Thursday, March I'd. Wyatt told
Cluverius that he was going TO move to
Richmond, and spoke Of keeping a
boarding house here. Cluverins said
20 him that he was glad to hear
IL; that he wished him well (;
and told him If he kept a good
house he would stop with him, as he
was coming TO Richmond in week;
that he was on his way TO the Court
house, where he had three cases, and
that he intended TO push his cases so
that he could be able TO get through
them soon. Also said that If he did
not get through with them he would
leave for Richmond anyhow. as the busi-
ness that he had to attend to was very
important. l have known Cluverius
for several years have seen him wear
watch-key. My impression is thatit
was fat. ! remember he had 1t on
watch-guard.
The cut Of the key in the Dispatch
was shown Mr.. Wyatt, and when he
first looked at it he remarked that it
was like it.; but afterwards said that he
thought Cluverius's key was fiat, while
that in the possession Of the Common
wealth is not.
The question was then asked here
If the key that was found at the re-
seryoir were shown him would he be
able to identify it if it should be Cluve-
RUSS. His reply was that he would
not like to swear to any key whatso-
ever.

II is wonderful thing that after all
the publicity given this case; with all
the efforts of the police; all the in
genuity of detectives all the acumen
and industry of reporters, nothing can
be heard Of the yellow boy" who
carried Cluverius's note to Miss Madi-
son at the American Hotel. He is still
"absent and unaccOunted for" 1.-The
old man." if not myth is a mystery,
and while it is tolerably certain that
Lillian came here to 20 to lying-in-
house, not the slightest success has re-
warded the efforts Of those who have
for weeks been trying to find out where
the house is.
Prison life OF Cluverius.
Our friend the interviewing prisoner
has been drunk again and is in Jail once
more. A Dispatch man saw him in the
prison dispensary yesterday and had
the following talk with him f;
Well, --, you are here again?
Yes, for three months; but | expect
TO get out soon.
What is the trouble?
Same old thing-liquor; it is the
cause Of all my trouble.
Well, suppose Cluverius was glad
to see you back TO renew your ac-
quaintance?
] can't say. | haven't felt much
like talking since | have been here. |
tell you don't care about being inter-
viewed no how.
Why?
For reasons best known to myself |
like the prisoner. He treats me good
enough.
But | want you to tell me what he
has to say to you and what he talks
about.
lie has nothing to say about the case.
How is he dressed?
He wears the same suit that he had
on when he was brought here-a grayish
coat and vest, dark pants, and reversi-
BILE overcoat. A woman near here, who
lives in the alley, washes his under
clothes for him aud brings them to him
once a week. He is very careful in his
dress and appearance-always looks
clean and neat.
Does he shave?
Yes; barber comes here twice a
week.
What kind OF hat has he?
a stiff one; | believe they call it
Derby.
bow does he conduct himself in
prison?
He talks to the prisoners some.
When the gate is open he keeps in his
cell so as to avoid the gaze Of the
curiosity-seekers. A number Of peo-
pie call here to see him through
curiosity, but he does not wish to see
them.
Does he see many people?
No; he does not see strangers, but
sees some of his friends.
Has he had much TO say to you since
you have been here this term?
Well, yes f; he talks to me more free
ly than he does to others.
What does he talk to you about?
Well, about things generally; no
thing particular. do not want to tell,
for have a reason for it.
What reason?
Well. | told him / would not. Really,
he has not talked to me this time about
the case.
Does he read the papers?
told you when you interviewed me
before that he read them. Yes, and he
is very particular about getting them.
What did he say to you about the
Dispatch that contained the report Of
interviews had with his father and
friends at Little Plymouth and Centre
villes
have never heard him speak Of it.
Didn't tell you he does not say any
thing TO me about the case.
Does he look as well now as he did
when you first saw him here?
| think he has changed little. He
is not as fat looks little thin, but
that is nothing. Any fellow that is con-
fined in prison would change. His APP
petite is good. Sometimes he gives a
