.DEROUSSE FOUND
IN BALTIMORE
Camden Postmaster Said to
be $4,000 Short in His
Accounts
POSTAL INSPECTORS AT WORK

Bondsmcn Declare -, Is a Defaulter
and Say His Downfall Was Caused
BY Leading 4 Double Life - Made
Known BY His Family.
Camden, N. j., June 19.-In n condi-
tion bordering on physical and mental
collapse, Louis T. Derousse, the miss
ing postmaster of this city, has been
found at the home of W. H. Swindell,
at Baltimore, Nd, a former resident
of this city. A newspaper reporter
who saw the missing postmaster at
the SwiRdell home reported by wire
that Derousse replied to all questions
by saying yes" and appeared to be
demcnted. Dr. George ID. Wedeforth,
who was called by the Swindells to
attend Dcrousse, said the sick man
had told him in rambling remarks that
he left Camden with the intention Of
going to the Schuylldll river and
drowning himself. He got as far as
Fairmount Park and sat down on a
bench. What subsequently transpired
when he arrived over the Pennsylva-
mia Railroad in Baltimore he went
straight to Mr.. Swindell's. He had
only so cents in his pocket when he
arrived.
Shortly before the missing man was
located two of his bondsmen, former
Judge Pancoast and Harrison II. Voor-
hees, stated that Louis T. Derousse
was a fugitive, and that a shortage
of over $4,000 was discovered in his
accounts by the postal inspectors,
William J. Mehary and d. w. Buck.
The cause of his disappearance is said
to be marital infelicity, and another
woman is mentioned in the case.
II was through Mr.. Derousse's fam
fly that his alleged double life was
made known to his bondsmen. and the
postmaster was called upon for an
explanation. This he could not give
satisfactorily. and the postoffice de-
partment was notified and requested
to make an examination Of his &C.
counts.
Former Judge David ]. Pancoast
was the first of his bondsmen, of
whom there are five, to learn Of De-
rousse's difficulty He said:
Late last week I was informed by
a member of Mr.. Derousse's family
that he was not all that a husband
and father should be. There was an
other woman mentioned, and the story
told me so aroused me that I sent for
DerOusse and demanded an eXplana
ton. This he would not give, and
was painfully surprised, for / had
known the man for years and believed
him to be all that a man should be
Then | called a meeting Of his bonds
men,"
Harrison II. Voorhees,, judge of the
| Cape May county court, who is one
of the bondsmen, said: "Yes, l an
out about 81. 100 by Derousses actions
and / don't know how much more 4
will +, before the inspectors ar'
through. l was told that so far I
shortage of over $4,000 had been founC
and that the 13 sub-stations under De
rousse's care had not been investi
gated. The whole cause of his trOu
BILE is another woman. Who she is o
where she was maintained am not a
liberty to say. That will all. come on
later"
The news that Derousse is shor
in his accounts came as sc
we're shock to his numerous friend
and relatives and to all of Camden
Lou Derousse. as he was familiarl,
known, was esteemed and respecte,
by all, and no one for a momen
would harbor a suspicious though
against him.

A Card from Mr.. Mcclure.

Being asandidate for district attorney,
it would seem the proper thing to visit
the voters of Bolivar county, and it
would afford me pleasure to do 80 were
it possible. There is nothing more
pleasant than to electioneer among ones
friends. But large part of my time is
occupied in the courts-have just finished
a term of court at Indianola OH the
the 18th court convenes at Greenville
for a FIVE weeks term, aud Immediately
following l go to Greenwood Thus, it
will be seen, that in Bolivar l must de-
pend on my friends and past record, for
what small time can spare from the
courts must be spent in other counties.
Very truly,

A Baptist Minister'S Opinion
Of Vardaman.

Brownsville, Tenn, Apr. Il, 1908.
Mr.. Walter N. Hurt,
Hattiesburg, Miss.
Dear Sir You ask for my candid
opinion of Maj. Jas. X. Vardaman as a
man, a gentleman, a Christian, scholar
and suitable person for the exalted
position of governor of the common
wealth of the state of Mississippi. l
have no hesitancy in complying with
your request.
During my pastorate i'll Greenwood /
was intimately associated with Major
Vardaman, and found him to be gen-
tleman of the highest type. Some who
read his scathing denunciation of politi..
cal sin and depravity might think him
harsh, uncouth and vulgar, but this is
not true of him. He is elegant and re-
fined. His terrible inyectiyes against
crookediess grows out of his intense
hatred oft. truly believe that if there
is an incorruptible msn in Mississippi
that man 10 James K. Vardaman.
As Christian he may not measure up
to the full standard, but who does? l
have often talked with him i'll his Office
and l know that no one reveres the
Divine Christ more than he. He was not
a member Of my church-and do not
know how we'll he fulfilled his Christian
duties. know that he believed in God,
in the Word of God, in the Divine Christ,
and in an upright life.
Az a scholar he stands among the first
rank. There are men who. have had
better college training, but you will
have to look mighty close to find man
in Mississippi that knows more than
James K. Verdaman. He is an intel
lectual giant.
As to his suitability for the position oi
governor, l only express my opinion,
and l cannot better express it than by
saying il were in Mississippi ! would
vote for him.
am very truly yours.
