housemen spoke of the matter to
another and then the second thought
it strange that they should both get
such orders. The result was the ar
rest of Ellis as stated.
Ellis is a native of this county and
has led a checkered career. Twenty
che years ago he forged an order on
some person and had to leave to keep
from being arrested. Prior to that
time he had married a Miss Copley
who sometime later secured a divorce.
1t is said that Ellis went to Texas and
there married a second time, having
now a wife and six or seven children
in that State. Recently he returned
&c this section and made overtures to
his first wife, with the hope of again
marrying. She refused him and told
him that she would having nothing to
do with him. He then came to Dur
ham and forged the notes that caused
his arrest.
