completing torn in the Florida penitsn-
tiary for forgery During the time Mickle- |
john was under bond of $1,000 to answer |
to similar charge to the superior court at |
Macon, he went to Florida and was con- |
victed and sentenced. His bondsman at |
Macon was A. T. Adamson, his father-in-
law, and he employed Dessau and Bartlett,
who have received the requisition from |
Gov. Gordon, and will send Mr.. Moselv |
after him. When returned he will |
be lodged in Jail to await the
next term of superior court Mr.. Mosely is
IN doubt as to his ability to return to Ma
con at once, owing to the quarantine regu-
lations. He will carry a health certificate
from Macon, which is all very well 80 far as
it goes, and no difficulty is anticipated be-
tween Macon and Tallahassee, where he will |
go first to see the governor. But he goes
from there to Live Oak, where Micklejohn |
is in custody, and then it is a question |
whether he can return at once with his |
prisoner, or be quarantined for the usual
Ten days.
