SKIPPED OUT.--cNturuay rreo Wotieyf
the man shot by Nightwatch McClain,
because he refused to stop when ordered,
agreed 10 70 10 work for the Frankll
House, recently the Waverly House, ,at an
agreed price, as cook, TO begin business
next morning. Instructions were given
him how to proceed. In the morning he
arose at A O'Clock in response to the alarm,
which went on earlier than usual, proba-
bly, Intentionally, built o tlre IA the
kitchen stove, and, good bye, Mr. Tramp,
he was not heard OF or seen afterwards.
In oil probability, as heretofore stated
by the DEMocRAr, he was not q cook at
all. Who was hep A German paper taxi
en- at the Franklin House gave an ac-
count OF q mans escaping from q jail In
Michigan on Nov. 9th, whose description
corresponded exactly 10 Wotley's, 80
much so as TO have excited comment.
Wotley had seen the paper. When he
disappeared the paper also disappeared.
The man who had escaped had been q
woodchopper. Wotley looked more like
woodchopper than cook. He will not
be seen here again in all probability,
which OF course discontinues the case
against Mr. McClair, as he was the only
witness.
