has been arrested by Deputy Sherifs,
charged with forging railroad bonds TO
the amount Of $2S,0W. The SherlH
acted on requisition papers from Gov
ernor Tanner and the Governor OK
Maryland.
h Downs is a relative of General FltZ-
hugh Lee and jefferson Davis. He was
taken to Baltimore by w. B. Lyon, spe-
cial messenger Of Maryland's Governor,
who came to Chicago to personally et-
feet Downs arrest.
The alleged forgery occurred three
years ago. Up to three years ago he
was above reproach, but it is said that
gambling caused his downfall. He
squandered his fortune at the gaming
table, the officials say, and in order 20
recoup himself, committed forgery after
forgery, until the amount he had OBJ
tanned in this way became so large
that to avoid arrest he fled without
notifying his family.
His disappearance caused a sensation
in Baltimore, but not once was 1t
thought he was a fugitive from justice.
The first inkling of the truth came from
a broker named Logan, who came to
Chicago to identify the fugitive. Logan
had dealt with Downs in railroad bonds,
and discovered after his disappearance
that the papers We're forged, i, is
claimed Within a few weeks, it is
asserted, it was learned that he had
, forged bonds worth nearly S3UU,ySD,
and with the greater part of the money
had gone into speculation in stocks.
Downs is credited with having a re-
markable record as a duelist. In CHI
cago, to hide his identity, he is said to
have affected many eccentricities OF
personal appearance, notably, wearing
his hair falling to his shoulders.
