shaw's first bail bond, which had been
printed in tho INrILLId GNcER Inst week,
was strictly correct. Tho bond was not
worth tho paper it was written on.
Prosecuting Attorney Howard did not
= like this, and after q consultation with
tho police warrant was sworn out in
Squire Gillespy's court charging Earn
shaw with forgery and attempting to
utter bogus order OF the Wetzel
county court, the aum named in the

to swallow when arrested by Chief OF
Police McNichol in Simpson & Hazlctt's
Office.
Earnshaw was allowed to see several
neighbors and friends in regard to going
. his bail, but did not succeed In getting
"a bondsmnn. lie was brought 10 Bur
ton Monday night and kept thore at n
hotel until yesterday morning, when he
was brought here.
Lieut.. Terrill said the people at Earn
shaw's place treated Thorn as well as II
they had called to do favor instead Of
to mako IN arrest. Earnshaw seemed
Ito have but one regret, and that was
that he had not so arranged that his
wie would not have known OF his ar
rest. His son-in.law, Martin. accom-.
panied him to Burton and then re-
turned homa.
About 0 o'clock laat night Earnshaw
was committed to Jail by Squire Gilles.
py In default OF $1,000 bond. lie had
been allowed to sit in Chief McNichol's
Office up to that time, in hopes that he
would be able to give bond. He got a
telegram last night from his aon John,
saying he would be hero this morning
with parties to 60 on his bond. !.
Lawyer Bruce Hall, Of Now Martins
vile, came up last night on his way to
\ Pittsburgh on business. IIe Is counsel
for Martin, Earnshaw's son-iu-law. who
I has been arrested for completely in the
+ forgeries for which Earnshaw Is in Jail.
I When Mr. Hall arrived here he learned
OF Earnshaw's ro-arrcst and called on
Kim At police headquarters, where he,
z Earnshaw and his attorney, Col. Arne,.,
had a long conference in private.
