HUNTINGTON, w. va., Jan. 1s.--At
O'clock this evening u warrant was
served on clrcul. clerk r. w. Mcwil-
Hams, by Chief OF Police Tyree, chars-
Ing him with felony in the matter of
the stealing Of, certain city orders, which
had already once been paid.
This afternoon C. s. Shlfilette, whose
case has been noted by the 1nteltigrncer,
who was under arrest on o similar
charge, made sworn statement alleging
that he received the oriers which he
negotiated from ,0fcwalllams. who at,
that time was city clerk.
John Donahoc, another young man
who also negotiated orders. was arrested
last night by Chief Tyree, at Kreps'
Mills, ten miles from Parkersburg, and
brought here this afternoon. He. too,
made confession In words and meaning.

claimed by the special committee ut In

amount which has already been paid
twice Is between $1,000 and $4,000.
