"PROF." GOODWIN DEPARTED.
Released From Jail Upon Paying the
Full Amount of Mr.. Ralph Hills
Claim and Putting Up 500 Cash
Bond.

After several months of untiring
From The Daily Item, August 80.
efforts on the part Of his attorneys,
Mossrs. G. Capers Smith and ]. H.
Clifton, Professor" ]. A. Goodwin,
the clever clairvoyant and swinlder,
was last night released from his in
carceration of several months in the
county Jail.
Thet details of the clever swindle
practiced by Goodwin, at that time
posing as clairvoyant, several
months ago upon Mr.. Ralph Hill, a
citizen Of this city, as we'll as the
facts of his capture and final return
to Sumter are we'll known to the peo-
pie of this city and throughout the
State generally.
Several weeks ago Goodwin's at
torneys were successful in having his
bond reduced from $4,000, as fixed
by Magistrate Hardy, to $4,000. I'm
mediately however, Mr.. L. D. Jen-
niLgs, attorney for Mr.. Ralp Hill, the
victim Of Goodwin's scheme, took out
arrest and bail" proceedings, there
by causing Goodwin to put up 81
600 as extra money, making the total
bond required for his release $4,000.
On yesterday. a Mr.. Ray, brother
in-law to Goodwin came to this city
to act in his behalf al the instigation
of Goodwin's family, and an agree
ment was made with Magistrate
Hardy whereby Goodwin was releas-
ed upon payment to Mr.. Hill Of his
full claim, being the amount of
money out of which Goodwin had
swindled him and the amount of his
expenses in securing Goodwin's ap-
prehension, the total amount being
$1,000, as well as the payment of
$700 cash bond.
Goodwin and his relative left last
night for their home in the North.
1t is stated that Goodwin is an
experienced railway engineer and an
expert physician, so he will no doubt
ind little trouble in making an honest
living should he decide to give up the
work of clairvoyant.
