which the stolen pouch contained.
This money was in the nature of big bills

pay for months. He is also known to
have passed other money in large de-
nominations, which, although unidenti-
fed, shows that be had a liberal supply
of funds, which fact, under the circum.
stances, would at least demand an ex-
PLANTATION.
