lima, who was arrested by the Rich
mond police and held as a fugitive
from Justice from Newborn. under tho
name Of J. w. Eason, Is now the de-
PENDANT in civil suit. Edgar B. Eng

swindled out of more than s4,700, has.
through Sheriff Mercer. attached
Esoms farm and his bank account Of
about $1,000.
Esom was arrested on his farm in
Henrico County after description OF
MIN had been wired to Chief of Police
Werner. with the request that he be
held until requisition papers could be
issued. When he was arraigned before

that Esom gave J. NJ. Umstead & CO.,
Of Vanceboro. N. c.. check Of s4,732.22
for tobacco which he purchased from
them. The firm, through Attorney
English, contends that Esom knew that

on false pretenses; that ne disposed
of the goods and left the State.
The suit against Esom was brought
in the City Circuit Court yesterday tc

cedes In Their Behalf

convicted of misdemeanors in Norfolk.

hands OF Governor Stuart.
The case of these two men was a
curious one. 1t appears that they were
cronies. Clarke was sent to Jail for
six months, and NfcNalIy drew term
OF only sixty days. Both were removed
to convict road camps. Shortly after
being set to work on the roads. tho
two escaped. They were recaptured
and each given 4 term OF six addi-
tional months. They were returned to
the roads, and again they escaped.
Again were they caught and another
six months added to their time. This
performance was repeated by the cou-
pie. until it was brought to the atten-
ton OF Major Wood, souepirtendent
of the road forces. as we'll as of the
State Penitentiary. and after their
final escape he paid them a visit in
jail. Here he explained to them that
they would never have their liberty
II they persisted in misbehaving. and
assured them that IL their conduct in
the future warranted 1t, he would per-
sonally act in their behalf. That was
twelve months ago. McNally and
Clarke decided it best to be good, and
SO Major Wood has just been success
full in securing their release.
Willie Smith, convicted OF house
breaking In Richmond, and sentenced
to five years in the penitentiary, was
denied a pardon
