 Fraud Exposed.
 The following exposure of a fraud will be read with interest by those readers of the Age-Herald who read the story told by Wilson and printed in the Age Herald a few days ago. It is thought that the man claiming to be w. C. Will son went from here to BiRmingham:
 Last night the Advertiser received n letter from w. c. Wilson of Quincy. Fla, which puts a queer phase on the story told by well-dreSsed, intclligent-lo ing man, who gave his name as w c. Wilson of Quincy. Fla. while here Mon- day.
 In effect the stranger giving his name as w. c. Wilson said that last January his cousin, J. w. Williams, worthy z farmer and land owner living at Dade City, Fla, went to Cuba to look after a plantation he owned there. He was ab- sent for ten days and on his return was astonished to find that his wife and four children. the eldest II years old, were gone. Nobody could tell where. He commenced search for them, hut no trace could be found. His domestic re- lations had always been agreeable.
 For several weeks after his return from Cuba Williams prosecuted his search, but could learn nothing more than that his wife had left town on a northbound train He finally ceased his endeavors to find her. Last week he was notified
  tion of his wife with four children. had been in Ozark, Ala. some weeks ago. Being i'll. Williams sent Wilson, his couS- in, to investigate. Wilson was con- vinced, after searching Ozark. that the woman was Mrs. Williams, and he learned that she had come to Montgom- cry He came here and commenced a search for her. The woman who visited Ozark claimed to be the widow of Ma son and to have some knowledge of the 1t,x.. nf,1 .fr xnifo sohs. Mrs. Williams having taken a side degree, so it is alleged She was said to be 39 years old, extremely handsome and had always been model wife
 This was the strangers narrative and now comes the letter purporting to have been written by w. c. Wilson. the same name and Of the same place. It reads: Quincy, Fla. July %, 1895. Montgomery Advertiser. Montgomery, Ala:
 p..Enclosed please find clipping from the Daily Florida Citizen in regard to a man using my name in Ozark and Montgom- cry. I have not been in either place since 1891.
 II have no cousin by the name of J. D. Williams, nor do know him at all. "The man and woman referred to an- swer the description of parties who were here in 1894. They are husband and wife, his name being G. D. Clemmons; and they have imposed upon the Masonic fra
 
 Mississippi and Texas.
 The man is clearly a fraud and vil- lain, for l have not been out of town for more than week.
 wv. c. WILSON," "P. S.-Please publish the clipping and my explanation. Send me one of your papers,
 According to the police, there is no record of the woman and four children having been in Montgomery nor has any baar r1 rlx al, tl,a matter. The man who gave his name as WIG. Wilson, left here Monday night on the Western of Alabama and has not been heard from. Chief Gerald did not take much stock in him or his story. It fs not known whether he attempted to raise or get any money here.
