superintendent Colbert has received the
looked-for letter from Comanche county,
Texas. concerning the arrest of A. J. CAT
fey, alias Miller, which was made upon q

There are eleven Indictments against him,
charging embezzlement and forgery. one

dictment. Foster requests that Caffey be

anxious TO make q record by bringing him
back TO Texas for trial. His uneasIness in
