CAN HARDLY CONVICT HEwEs.
The Existence of Contracts and n
Directory VIII Likely Help Him.

The probability now is that Morrill,
Ross Hewes, the alleged directory
swlndler, will be cleared when his case
comes uD in the Police Court tomorrow,
as the charge Of forgery, which was first
brought against him, can no longer be
sustained I'm view OF the testimony OF
several parties from whom he obtained
money and II IS contended that the fact
that he has some kind OF a directory"
containing the advertisements OF the
firms, will be a barrier which must be
overcome before a case OF swindiing can
be proven against him. In fact, the New
York authorities will not press the
charges against the accused in that city,
because they not think the evidence there
against him IS sufficient for conviction,
and while Chief O'Brien, in a letter to
Detective Tomlinson, says that Hewes
Is, without doubt, one OF party OF men
who have been operating the same kind
Of schemes in the metropolis, no request
Is made to hold him. Chief O'Brien. in
his letter, states that no such person as
&C. c. Wilbur could be found I'm the
Potter building No. III Nassau street,
but that on the fourth floor OF that
building was found a man who gave the
name Of Phillip Goodhart, and who had a
small office-room. He Is believed to be
in the directory" business. He has been
arrested, but could not be tried, on ac-
count Of some technicality.
Mr.. Arthur Bowen, Of Boston, brother
in-law OF Hewes, arrived here yesterday
morning, and had a conference with Mr.
ID. g. Richardson, counsel for the ac-
cused. Mr.. Bowen says he is a purser
OF steamship plying between Boston
and Nantucket Beach. He says Hewes
Is from Maine, where his parents live,
and that he has no need to go into any
such business as he is charged with, as
they are quite well-to-do He expressed
his willingness 10 help Hewes in any way
he could. and said If he possibly could he
would be here tomorrow TO be present
when the case comes up. He was COM
PEELED TO leave last night, on account
OF his business engagements.
No effort was made yesterday 10 bail
the accused, and Sergeant Tomlinson
swore out and served another warrant
on Hewes In the afternoon, charging him
with swindling Mr. j. Clements Shafer.
This was for contract for an advertise
mont in the Atlantic-Coast Directory,
made with the Virginia Dredging and
Towing Company, OF which Mr. Shafer
is an officer.

MEADoRs's CASE CONTINUED.
Postponed on Motion OF the Com
monveaIth,s Attorney


The case OF William Meadors, the muir
derer Of Maggie Driver. was called in
the Hastings Court yesterday morning,
and continued again upon motion OF the
Commonwealth, until June 9th. The
postponement was allowed owing TO the
absence OF an important witness for the
prosecution. When the names OF the wit
nesses were called all answered but one
w. c. Ellis In view OF the fact that
Ellis did not respond. Commonwealth's-
Attorney Smith asked that the case be
continued for the term. Mr.. Smith said
that II was important for the Common
wealth TO have the testimony OF Ellis In
this case. as he was with Meadors all
OF the time for three hours prior 10 the
tragedy. Ellis. he said, had enlisted with
Meadors In the United States army. and
had since then deserted. Mr.. Smith read
the following letter from Colonel Frank
concerning this matter:

Colonel First Artillery, Commanding.
Mr.. George +. Wise, counsel for the
prisoner. argued against the continuance
and said that in all probability Ellis had
gone far beyond the Jurisdiction OF the

lived in Richmond. and that he thought
he could get him as he could have the
