tional facts bearing on the defalcation Of

the Cashier forged the names of mem
bers OF the House and other persons to
no less than thirty-fve notes, aegregat-
Ing $l4 500. These notes he took up
November 81. 1t is Mr.. Leedom's the
DRY that Silcott's object in paying out
this large sum of money, which he
might just as we'll have carried off, was
to avoid extradition. Meanwhile Mr..
Leedom had been taking steps to cause
the arrest of the defaulter with which
the committee has not concerned itself.
A rumor was current this morning
that Silcott had been captured at Alba
ny, but confirmation was lacking. MIR.

letter from New York saying that Sill

JEFFERSON DAVIS DEAD.
The Light Snufed Out After Ten Days

The Light Snufed Out After Ten Days
Illness.
A New Orleans dispatch of the 9th
inst. says: Jefferson Davis died ut IL AS
this morning. He arrived here from
his home at Beauvoir, Miss. about ten
days ago. and reports Of his illness were
soon in circulation. These, however,
his physician and friends said were ex-
aggerated and the bulletins which
have since been given out have gen.
orally reported him to be improving,
even as late as yesterday. His advanced
age-he was Stand his generally de-
bilitated condition, however, made re-
covery i'm prObabte, and those nearest
him feared that he would never rally.
There was decided change for the
worse IN his condition yesterday, and
last night those about his bedside saw
that the end was near. He maintained
consciousness almost TO the last, and
many of his friends here were with him
when the end came.
Jefferson Davis was born on June s,
1903, in what is now Todd County, Mo-,
his father few months later removing
to wilkinson County, Mo. Jefferson
Davis was educated at Pennsylvania
College, KY, and in 1924 entered West
Point Military Academy, graduating
therefrom in 1928. He served through
the Black Hawk war, and later was
stationed at Ft. Howard and Fl.
Crawford (now Prairie du CHEM,
Wis. In 1885 he eloped with
the daughter of Gen. Zachary Taylor,
afterward President of the United
States. He resigned from the army and
lived in Mississippi for some time. He
entered politics and later returned to
the army, serving through the Mexican
war. In lS47 he was appointed to the
United States Senate, and while mem
Der of that body fought duel with
Gen. Bliss ell, the trouble being over the
value of Davis Mississippi regiment.
In 1853 he was appointed secretary of
war by President Pierce, after PIERCE

the Southern states seeded he resigned
his seat in Congress and Was chosen
President Of the Southern Confederacy.
At the close of the rebellion Mr.. Davis
fed from Richmond, attended bv his
personal staff, members of his cabinet,
near Irwinsville, Ga, when a body of
Union cavalry captured him. He was
conveyed to Fortress Monroe, where he
was confined for two years. In May,
1867, be was arraigned on charge of
treason, and was admitted to bail. A
charge that he instigated the
assassination of President Lincoln
could not be substantiated. In
1867 he visited Europe. The
charge of treason held against him was
nolle6 the same year, and he was in.
Guided in the general amnesty OF
December %, 1868. He subsequently
located at Memphis, Tenn, and later
