The Specific CHARGE.

NACOGDOCHES, TEXAS. Jan. Il.
The Indictment retArncd in Nacog-
doches county against Miss Webb and
Charles F. Taylor last September has
been kept quiet in the hope that one
or both would return 10 Texas.
The specific charge of ;windling
grows out Of transaction in which
the pair, it is alleged, borrowed $4,000
from the president of the Commercial
National bank, they having made al
legged false representations and hav-
Ing given alleged false recommends
tons. No effort has been made to Sc.
cure the return of either of them to
Texas, but District Attorney Imboden
says that he is willing to cooperate
with the New York authorities if they
desire to send Miss Webb back to
stand trial "#
