Two Proinisury Notes Raised Two Hundred
- liars + trh.
Mr. John f. MowbraA, who form rly
Wore Rev instead of plain MIR" be
fore his name. is again in trouble. The
people of this vicinity remember the hot
debate which his case occasioned at the
last session of the NJ. E. conference held
at this place and bow 1t was tlnally set
tied by his name being entered on the
j,ulnal as Withdrawn under charges.
The following is from the Easton Ledger:
About "a week ago Mr.. John E. Now
bray, of Frederick, Del, came to E .ston
from Sc. MicbR's and offered ON the
street for sale two pronissory notes ap
pirently drawn by John G.. Harper 20
John +. Now bray; one at four moaths
for $3.50 and one at SIX mouths for $40.
MIR. W III. NJ. C"ney purchased the first
one OF these notes and Mr.. Charles w
Gibson the other. Mr.. GIbson's note
passed ill cuuIs OF business To MIR. Robt,
b. Dixon, VINO notified Mr.. Harper and
he was dumbfound d at the information.
Mowbray got two notes, one for thirty
and one tor tourty dollars, from MIR. Har-
per in this way:
Last Tuesday night he went to Nj.
H,rper's residence, Beverly. near 81.
MichHFs, at II O'Clock, after Mr. Harper
had retired. He wa called up and Now
bray told him that a note Mr.. Harper
had endorsed for him originally fol 800,
but winch hal beeu reduced to so, was
again du, at the f lsJon bank and
that the bank had refused To
renew il, but that Mr.. l.. Dodson, one
Of The bank officers. mad told HIM that If
he would get MIR. liarper's note for the
amount, he (Mr. Dodson) would take it
and pay Oft the note in bank, aud pro-
posed to Mr.. Harper to lend HIM his note
for $50 at four months aud another for
$40 at six months, saying he would be
aoe to meet them at maturity. Mr. Har-
per had every confidence in Mr.. Now
bray, and his first impulse was to draw
his check for $40 aud pay off the note for
him, but he reflected that Now bray
would perhaps be more careful to pay
the notes at bank promptly than he
would be to pay him debt he owed him
individually, and agreed 10 do it.
Mowurav produced two blank notes
and himself filled them mp with the
-four" and six" respectfully for the
months, and thirty" and forty" re-
spectfully for the dollars, but he wrote
the words on the blank line very close to
the printed word dollars. MIR. Harper
gned the notes and Mowbray took them
and departed. He afterward raised each
note by writing the words Two hundred
and Immediately before the words al
ready written and disposed of them in
EAston as stated.
The matter became public in Z aston
on Tuesday. and the community where
MIR. Mowbray is very well known was
deeply shocked. Mr.. Harper was greatly
greved that his friend, in whom he had
trusted and in whom he had So much con
tdence, should prove so unworthy.
