the notes.
Yesterday Clarke was arrested upon u
warrant sworn out by Eneis Hale, 4
negro woman, who charged that he had
sold her one of the lots for S475, and
producing Il contract of sale bearing
date September 16, or three days before
he purchased the property. The con-
tract in question acknowledged the re-
ceipt Of SO upon its execution. and
upon its back were three other receipts,
one for $l5 and two for $50 each, the
latter bearing date December ). or the

Another one of the lots had been sold
to George Wood, a colored man, who
produced Il contract of sale acknowledge
