teDced and that the four indictments will
be pushed no further. This is the I'LL
derstanding Of his counsel, and is sup
posed to be shared by the prosecution.
The leniency of the prosecution is
thought to be due to the fact that Scott's
friends proved his previous good charac-
ter. Scott returned home Wednesday
night, and is now engaged as book
keeper in the store where his older
brother is partner.
