 A communication relative to the kid mapping affair written to corps headquar- ters at Boston by a local citizen who in- terested himself in the case furnished the officers there with the first inkIing of the stunt that an army car figured in this territory. Within a few hours after the receipt of the letter, on Wednesday of this week. Private KerWin was placed under arrest.
 l It appears that he had been detailed from corps headquarters at Boston as a chauffeur with a reserve officer tempo 1 raTily on special duty in Providence. Some days ago this reserve officer ordered l Private KeNvin to return to Boston, but 1 in his report to corps headquarters sim 1 ply set forth that Private Kerwin had proved unsatisfaetery as a chauffeur.
