THE VERMONT PHGNIX BRATTLEBORO FRIDAY. April

port. Since the young man ialled III ms
plans. found himself under arrest ana
realized that he had recklessly and loonsniy
DESTROYED his prospects, he has undouotedly
been i'm state of great nervous eXclteneht'
with corresponding depression. conultloIi
which is natural and inevitable. Beyond
this little can be said with regard TO the
matter of insanity, and 1t would seem TO pe
very unwise to raise this ISSUE
Those Lost Packages.
The young mans downfall has set aiioaI
various suspicious of wrong doing TO oe
laid at his door, These relate more par
ticularly to the loss of various packages OF
letters containing checks and funds sent
by merchants cup the narrow gauge 10
the Vermont national bank for deposit
Five or six years ago there was mucn eN-
citement over the loss of such package
sent bv Mr.. Winchester of Londonderry.
Some time after this Mr. Muzzy OF Jamaica
sent a similar package which did not
reach the bank. During the past winter
a very singular incident of this kind oc-
cured. Mr.. Sherwin of Jamaica sent a
stout envelope containing a deposit, to the
bank. The bank did not receive it, and
Mr.. Sherwin promptly began an invesii-
CATION. No trace was gotten OF the lost pack
age until one morning, about 10 days after
it was found i'm the receiving basket under
the letter shoot at the post-oilice. rms
basket is always emptied the last thing
at night and the first thing in the morning
When emptied that night the letter was
not there. The next morning the clerks
found it there. This is all that anybody
knows about it except the man who must
have had the envelope in his possession
during this interval. The bank officials
think it exceedingly improbable that
Scott could have taken any Of these pack
ages. The mail is brought from the post
office and placed on the desk of the presi-
dent or cashier without passing through
SCOTS hands, leaving very small chance for
him to have become possessed OF any OF
these packages.
ScOtt's salary at the bank was Sl4OO;
he received a small salary from the cream
cry association; he earned money by writ
ing and book keeping outside of his bank
work, and from this and income from GER
tain investments, must have had an an
nual income approaching $1,000, enough,
without doubt, to easily cover all his liv-
ing expenses.
An impression has been gained from
some remarks dropped by Lawyer Ham
blett, that suit against Scott will not be
pressed in Nashua when the court con-
venes, and he will escape with light pun
ishment.

The Phoenix Extra.

The first news of SCOTS forgery and ar
rest was given to the Brattleboro public in
The Phoenix extra, which was printed
during Friday night, and was delivered by
the carriers early Saturday morning.
Boys were selling the extra on the streets
before o clock. There was a lively de-
mand for it, nearly 600 copies being sold.
The Phoenix was being widely circulated
over two hours before any other paper
containing an account of the proceedings
at Nashua was sold in Brattleboro.
The sale of extra copies was very large
considering the fact that all Brattleboro
subscribers were served with copies con
tanning the account of the forgery and
arrest.

ScOtrs Lawyer.

G. j. liamblett of Nashua, who was re-

boro Wednesday night to visit Scott and
consult with his friends and the bank Of
ticials, and to learn the facts about the
young mans home standing. No state.
ment is made as to whether any line of ac-
ton was decided on. Hamblett. who is
evidently bright, active man, reports the
public sentiment in Nashua to have
changed and grown more lenient toward
the offender. He claims to know il as a
fact that Scott stopped a school boy on the
street in Nashua and asked him if he was
a good penman. The boy said no. but he
could tell him of one who was. This Other
boy he brought up, and Scott had him I'M

From the Washington Post of April oath. J
The executive committee of the
National Republican League met
in Parlor A at the Arlington yes
terday morning at 10 o'clock.
There were present the president of
the League, Mr.. William w. Tracy,
of Springfield, Ohio; the secretary,
Andrew B. Humphrey, and dele
gates or proxies as follows: Ala

Isaac Trumbo; Colorado, William

Columbia, d. A. Ray, Theodore
Cox, president of the college Of the
City of New York, and d. f. Haw-
kins Of Syracuse University, ex-
president of the American Repub-
lican College league were also
present.
The matter of transportation to
the seventh annual convention of
the National league, at Denver,
June 26, was first discussed. Rail-
roads have already given much
encouragement in the matter of
special rates for passengers. A
committee of ten was appointed,
including the president and secre-
tary of the executive committee
and two members each from
the East, West, South and Central
divisions of the country, who are
to make all arrangements. 1t was
decided to start three trains, one
from Nashville, which is to be the
rendezvous for the Southern dele
gates. These trains will be deco
rated, and each will carry brass
band and a cOmmissary, quite to {
Kentuckian's taste. The Nashvill,
train will be known as the Colo
nels' and Generals train. TIL,
Eastern train will start from New
York City, which will be the rem
devious for the New England anC
Middle states. The third train
starting from Chicago, will carr,
all the delegates from the Contra
and Northwestern region.
