Name of Louis +. Bossieux ana En-

Frank N. Slayton, the young man who
was arrested in New Haven, Conn. where
he was posing as Virginia Military In
sutute cadet and a nephew Of General
fitzhugh Lee, Is well known In Rich
mond, he having stood trial in the Hust-
ings Court here six years ago on the
charge Of forgery
The young man is highly connected and
a nephew Of Mrs. Bradley Il. Johnston.
lie was arrested here for forging the
name of Mr.. Louis Il. Bossieux, and pre-
vious TO his arrest succeeded in floating
six checks Of $50 each. to all OF which he
had forged the name Of Mr.. Bossleux.
The young man, so far as could be learn
ed, started his hayward career with
these forgeries While he was yet a
minor his grandfather died. leaving a
large estate, bequeathng $4,000 to Stay
ton on condition that he should abstain
from the use Of cigarettes and intoxi-
eating drink The grandson was, how
ever not abstemious in his habits, and
hence he never secured the legacy.
HIS ARREST IN RICHMOND.
Prior to his appearance in this city
Slayton, then about 20 years of age, was
a student at Trinity Training School, on
the Hudson. He conceived the idea Of a
pleasure trip, including in the itinerary
visits TO New York, Baltimore, Washing
ton, Old Point, and Richmond, and 1t was
for the purpose of making this trip posi-
bic that he used Mr.. Bossieux's name with
such reckless disregard of law and honor.
He was taken into custody by Sergeant
A. NJ. Tominson while in the act of
hiring team from a livery stable in this
city with money he had secured on a
bogus check he had imposed on the man

ings Court. lie pleaded insanity, super
induced by the excessive use Of cigarettes,
and escaped imprisonment, being COM
mitted, after examination by brain spe-
cialists, to the Eastern State Hospital at
Williamsburg.
WAS RELEASED ON BOND.
At this institution the young man was
treated with great consideration. and af-
ter time he was released on probation
under a heavy bond, which bond still re-
mains in force.
SlaytOn passed out Of sight Of the hos
pital authorities until the Hispano-Amer-
lean war was declared. when he was
heard Of as having enlisted in Company
X, Of the Twenty-second New York In
fantry. He deserted from this command,
II IS said, and now it turns out that he
was given a dishonorable discharge,
though his papers he so altered as 10
make his discharge appear to have been
honorable. and the charge Of forging
these papers has also been lodged against
him.
Slayton is described by those who re-
member him here as being a man Of eX-
ceedingly handsome face and form, and
possessed Of an easy, fascinating man.
