Letters received tonight from Guy
NJ. Deane, by James H. Parrish aud
Mrs. Sue G. Deane, his wife, state
that he went to Mexico on business
and on his return he stopped at Waco,
Texas, to see his uncle, R. S. Triplett.
When he saw the papers he wrote
these letters.
When he reached Waco "e was suf-
fering from recent illness and shock
occasions by the news of the notorie-
ty his absence had caused.
Mr.. Deaoe went to the home OF Mr..
Triplett who knowing the letter had
not reached Greensboro, sent the tele-
gram to Mr.. James II. Parrish, which
was the first news received concern
ing Mr.. Deane.
The public is, therefore, still left In
the dark and must draw Its conclu-
sions.
1t Is known that before going to
Jackson, Miss, Mr.. Deane drew $3.50
from the bank, and as he Travelled on
a railroad pass and was to be alb sent,
according to his own statement, only
two days, he must have had the trip
to Mexico, to some extent, in mind
then. At Jackson he borrowed 500
more, evidently to be sure he would
have sufficient funds for his journey.
If he only had said he would be alb
sent ten days on business, all this
humi!iating publicity and search for
him by friends and detectives In a
dozen cities would have been spared.

VOL. XVI.
NO LIQUOR THERE.
May be Sold at Point Pleas
ant but not Legally.
Supposed COunterfeiterS not In 1t
so Bad as Their Ac-
CuSer.

Several newspapers have this week
published an article entitled mot
Counterfeit" In which they say one
"Sample" had license to sell whis-
kew at Point Pleasant but not at Cotf-
man.
These little towns are both on
Green river, in the prohibition eoun'
ty of Ohio, and 1t seems quite singu-
lar that any one should have authori-
ty to legally sell liquor in one with
out having the same authority to sell
In the other. Neither has any form
OF organized city government and can
not suspend the State prohibition laws
At all events there Is no legal author
ity for selling liquor at Point Pleas
ant and none OF the records OF the
county show such. The article fur
ther says:
Alex Sample. of Coffmau, Ohio
county, is under recognizance to ap-
pear at the May term of Federal Court
In Greensboro to answer the charge oil
selling whisky without paying the
special Government tax. And 1t all
came about because Henry Whitaker
and Tilton Littlefield paid for some OF
the whisky with what Sample
thought was a counterfeit bill. Sam.
pie went to Duputy Sheriff Hubert
Coffman and had him arrest Whitta-
ker ard Littleheld. Saturday they
were taken to Owensboro, having
been guarded at Livermore through
the preceding night.
No warrant had been procured, and
while the marshal was preparing to
take out one, Deputy Sheriff Goldman
showed the bill which the boys had
passed, to Commissioner Lindsey.
Evidently the boys did not make it,
although the first news of the arrest
from Livermore indicated that they
did. The bill was yellow with age,
although II did not have the appear-
ance of having circulated very freely
during its existence. Upon closer
examination it proved to be a ten dol
lar bill, issued in 1868, by the Con-
federate States of America. And Mr..
Lindsey thought that the boys had
committed no offense for which an
action would lie in a United States
court. Mr.. Sample had just been
fooled. He may probably secure the
Boys conviction In the State courts
for obtaining property under false
pretenses. Whitaker and Littleheld
were set at liberty.
Samples troubles did not end with
his failure to have his men held over
to the grand jury. Immediately after
they were dismissed they proceeded to
swear out a warrant against Sample
for selling whisky without the special
Government tax.
