Below we print in full q letter
received by the editor from MI.
Thomas ". Dewey, ex-cashier OF the
Merchants and Farmers Bank OF
New Bern, who left New Bern some
weeks ago and has not since been
heard froIa. There was a large
shortage il his account, variously
estimated at from 100000 to
3l35 600. The capital stock of
the tank was $4,000.
The State Bank Examiner discov-
cred some irregularities or short
age IN his accounts on Friday, July
3Ist. On Saturday night, August
lt Dewey came to Raleigh, and no
trace has been heard OF him since
little after midnight, when he
is supposed to have taken the mid
night train on the Seaboard Air
Lines bound for the North.
The Merchants and Farmers
Bank offered a large reward for
his arrest, the Governor offered a
reward, his picture, with the e
ward offered, was printed all over
the country, but nothing has been
heard from him from the hour of
his departure until the editor OF
the News and Observer received a
letter from him yesterday after
noon. The letter was aot address,
ed il Mr.. Dewey's handwriting,
but was IN the handwriting OF a
lady. It bore this post mark:
Colds and Greens.

1875.
The last line on the post mark
IS too dim to make out. On the
reverse side of the envelope is this
gostmark:
