Have used 25 bottles, and now I can walk without crutches with ease and feel that I am on the road to renewed health.

A SLICK SCOUNDREL A.X KPISOBE AHOU EPISODES. G. P Lamb. Alias Crawford. Alias Ew. lag, AIim Smith, Fleeces an Idbo cni Gentleman---Sends Miseellaa ens and Simultaneous pistiles from Difierent Parts ol the Country, but Finally Lands in Jail. As has already been published in The Observer, on or about the 21st or 22nd of March, ultimo, a man named G. P. Lamb alias Ewinsr. alias W. G. Crawford, alias Smith, was ar rested at Danville, Va., by authority of a warrant sworn out by a gentle man named J ones, to whom the man of many aliases, while under the in- nuence or liquor, had stated that he had killed a deputy U. S. Marshal and a negro, in Stuebensville, Ohio. Lamb, which we will call him. was placed in jail to await developments. rle had on him when arrested, among others, letters from Col. John E. Brown, of this city, and Capt. W. T. R. Bell, at King's Mountain. Both these gentlemen by accident happen ed to be in The Observer office night before last, and from them a reporter got some particulars which have not Ereviously been given to the public, amb it is stated has been, within the past day or two, taken to Kanawha county, West Virginia, but we have not been able to learn lust what is charged against him, in that appar ently new field. When the man was arrested while it was believed that he was guilty of some crime, the officers of the law were at a loss to know what the crime was or where it was committed. Lamb had a great many newspaper scraps in his baggage, all referring to the prisoner breaking jail, but from every scrap he had cut out the name of the prisoner and the name of the county in which the jail was save in one scrap he had overlooked the last three letters of the county which oegan the next line, and these three letters were "wha" so they looked carefully over the map and found out tnat Kanawha county, West virgin ia was the only one in the United States which ended in wha. So they at once telegraphed to Charleston in Kanawha and received a reply at once '"to hold the suspected party think he is wanted" and further stating that Alfred Burnett, the dep uty marshal of that district, would be in Danville in a day or two to see if he could identify the prisoner as the man. The marshal came on and identi fied his man, and he was taken back to the scene of his former operations in West Virginia as stated above. Before the prisoner was sent to West Virginia, he conceived a plan for escape from the Danville jail, which was frustrated by his removal. A confederate, a negro man named Raleigh Wilson, attempted to carry out the plan last Wednesday night, and was shot three times by a colored employee of the jailor. His experience in North Carolina reads like the opening chapter of a dime novel, and it is to that experi ence that we wish to allude more par ticularly this morning. About the 12th of February last Capt. Bell received a note from Mr. Richard Garrett, which was handed to him by the man Lamb, who intro duced himself as a Mr. W. G. Craw ford. The letter from Mr. Garrett stated that Mr. Crawford was a gen tleman from Eastern North Carolina, and had with him a letter from Col. John E. Brown, which was apparent ly genuine, in which Col. Brown had given him some good advice, and wrote as if he had kn wn his brother during the war. Mr. Garrett stated in his note to Capt. Bell that he (Gar rett) had heard his (Lamb's) state ment, and believed it to be true, and had taken the liberty of sending Lamb to him, in order that he might be furnished with means to reach some friends near Chattanooga, Ten nessee. Capt. Bell took Mr. Garrett' statement to be correct and asked Lamb few questions in regard to a secret which he had communicated to Mr. Garrett, as a mason. Upon Lamb's statement, coupled with Garrett's and Brown's letters, Capt. Bell gave him $18.00 and paid his hotel bill at the Piedmont Hotel, amounting to $1.50 more. Lamb wrote a letter, which Capt. Bell mail ed, to a sister. Miss Mary Lamb, un der cover of a envelope addressed to R. P. Shelton, Edenton, N. C, in which he asked the sister to see a merchant in Edenton, N. C, and get an unpaid balance of $200.00 due him in a settlement for shingles. In this letter he gave what he told Capt. Bell was his true name, G. P. Lamb, of Chowan county. N. C. Capt. Bell and Mr. P. S. Baker, read the letter to his sister, and also the one to Shel ton, sealed up both, and mailed them in the Postoffice at King's Mountain, the outside envelope being directed to R. P. Shelton, Edenton, N. C. In due course of time Capt. Bell re ceived the following letter written in a lady's hand writing: (Letter not post marked or dated, but bearing the stamp of the post office of Burton's Creek, Va., on the envelope.) Prof. Bell: Respected Sir. Per the request of my brother 1 have taken the liberty of penning this note and enclosing a letter to him wnicn please iorwaru to him. I have sent a draft for him to sign and on the receipt of it I will have an exchange senc you in a tew days thereafter on Baltimore for 40, payable to you. l wisn you wuuiu lave him sent from the bounds of the United States at onee and caution him against confidants. His troubles are honorable in the eyes of gentle men, but those who his troubles come before are not that class of men. I write this in haste. I send an enve lnne addressed properly, which you can have his reply sent under the cover of, and it will reach me in satetv. Anv favors extended my unfortunate brother will be long re membered by an Unseen friend, M. L. P. S.--I cive only M. L. for fear of the letter might be possibly inter cepted. February 19, 18S4. You need not necessarily enclose my letter in an extra envelope, as he is a personal friend of my brother and true. My brother's letter I leave for you to address, as he so instruct ed me. On the day after the receipt of this letter, the "following was received from Lamb, enclosed in a letter rj ailed by the mail agent on the Memphis & Chattanooga Railroad : Huntsvillh, Ala., Feb. 1, '84. Dear Friends. I arrived safe and found my friends had moved to Texas, hare come here, "at least near this point, and shall remain until I hear from you. It may be some ten (10) days yet before you receive any tid ings from the communications sent. Let the matter remain patient, as it will require some little time to get business properly attended to. Re turn my kindest regards to friend Baker. I have no news. Could I not make some arrangement with Mr. Baker to go home for me in per son and settle my affairs and dispose of my effects, paying him liberally. I have two dollars (&2.00) now in the treasury, from your kindness. Shall never forget you and him. Write me by first mail. If you have a V to spare you can enclose. With best wishes to you and him, I am, Forever your friend, W. G. Crawford To W. T. R. Bell, Esq , Kin5s Mountain, N. C. P. S. Address me at Huntsville, Ala. Do not register. Before replying to this letter Capt. Bell received another letter, of which the following is a copy : Near Huntsville Ala February 21st 1881 My Dear Sir. After my best respects to you and friend Baker, I will say this leaves me not well, as yet I have no news from you, between us and no one else, I must say realley I am in dan ger at this place so much so I left Huntsville. It is H d Qt's for the U S. Marshal, and U S Court I have not made any confidence attall. My last cent is gone, and my wk board will be due Monday. I cant not work on the account of my wounds and realley I can get nothing to do which I can do. I am not safe hear, by no means. I could get to my friends in Texas for $21 Twenty One Dollars I must do something at once. If I was with friends in Texas I would feal safe. Show this to friend Baker and see if you both can spare me funds, to reach that State, it is use less for me to explain anything you cirtinley will hear from Home soon. I must again impose on you both to send me enough to settle my board and take me to Texas, the sooner I leave the better. I shall wait for an answer. Pardon me for asking these favors. Should you send, send by first mail. Address, W. G. Crawford Decatur Alabama Donot register nor Express or send money order, simply enclose it an ordinary letter it will come safe, it you was to send other wise I would have to be identified that would cause trouble and that I could not do - enclose it in an ordinary Envelope and I will Receive it all O K address as above. I have gone about 6 miles in the country and claim I am await ing funds from Home. Hope to hear, from you at once, delay no time. You shall be well paid. I sign no name but from Your Friend as above, have this did imediatly on the receipt of this. I shall send to office to day and shall remain until I hear from this. Excuse stationary and pencil, Envelope it is the best I can do. Write at once. My nearest P. O. now is Decater, Ala. If you have written me at Huntsville it will be sent to me at Decater. W. G. Crawford Decater Ala The day before receiving this letter Capt. Bell had forwarded the draft for $264.00, which had been received in the letter from the sister, to W G. Crawford, Huntsville, Ala., to be signed and returned, the draft being upon a merchant in Edenton, N.C, as explained. In due course of mail the following letter was received, bearing the U. S. stamp of the post master in Decatur, Alabama : Decatur. Ala., Feb. 2, '84. My Dear Sir and Friend: Yours is just received, and was truly glad to hear from you. News, I have none. I sign and return the draft, which I hope is all right; you can send at once. I am as one that is lost. I want you to keep a memorandum of all you do for me, and pay yourself well from the amount. It will csst me about $21 or $22 to reach, I think, friends. I have made no confidants; no, not one. Now, on the receipt of this, I want you to send me $40 or $50, so as I can get me a good nice suit of clothes, and I shall go at once to a good place. I don't want you to do ail of this for nothing for me. I want to pay you well, and for my liberty I will be indebted to you. You send it an ordinary envelope, just as you sent the $10: the $10 has just paid my board, &c. Now, if you send me the $21, or more, before you get this, then you need not send only enough to make out $40 or $50. As soon as you get the $264, and we wind up af fairs, I will execute a power of attor ney and have you to go down home for me and pay you well. Best wishes to vou and friend B. Attend to this at once. Send simply in ordinary envelope. Ever your ob't servant, G. P. L. The next day the mail brought the following: My Dear Friend Have just wrote you. l am uneasy ana want io ieav o here at once. As I am in a suspicious countrv and I have no business it is causing: considerable talk, and jo re veal my troubles to any one l win not, not knowing in whom I can put confidence.

I want and must have'some eood clothes, and tell you the truth, I am nearly like Adam. Send me the amount if you have to borrow it until mine comes ana pay.

With all success, I am. as before. Your ob't serv't. You had better destroy my letters. The same dav this letter was re ceived Capt. Bell forwarded the drafts, as directed, to Miss Mary Lamb, under cover of au envelope directed to R. P. Shelton. Edenton, N C, and in a few days received the following letter bearing the post mark of Norfo k and dated March 12. l4, and evidently in a disguised hand writing: . 3-10-'84. Mu Dear SirYour to hand the shall be promptly business shall be ar ranged as soon as it prudently can be did. do not alarm but have communication to cease for awhile some little whisper is in circulation will advise you of any developments. I will go to day and 'deliver L. tell to remain at ease it requires time-after a few days more the smoke will get the best of the blaze, a new cor cause questions to be asked friends are leaving nothing undone but are working cautiously. And eye is watching manuvers. Truly vours, SeT" S. P. R. Confidential Backward. P. S. Allow no one to write not even best friends until you hear from me. time is essential to prevent sus picion. Post office in the future must be changed will advise you all in the next. S. After receiving these letters from Lamb asking for 50.00 to buy a suit of clothes and to bear his expenses to Texas, Capt. Bell concluded to send a suit of clothes from his own ward robe in a letter, addressed to Hunts ville, Ala. The clothes were packed in a valise and expressed bv Mr. P. S. Baker, to Huntsville. Ala. In a few days afterwards Capt. B. received a letter post marked and mailed at Huntsville acknowledging the receipt of the letter, the money and the va lise, and thanking him for his kind ness and sayintr that he tLarub) would not be heard from asrain until ho reached San Antonio, Texas. lhe next information Capt. Bell had from him was through a tele graphic dispatch from Danville, Va., signed W. G. Crawford, stating that he had been arrested and must have $50.00 at once, to be senc to Barks- dale & w ithers, attorneys at law. By mail, the next day, Capt. Bell was notified by the mayor of Dan ville of the arrest, on the 21st of March, of a man named Ewing alias Crawford, alias Smith, alias Lamb, and asking for information in refer ence to him. On the same day, strange to say, Capt. Bell received a postal card mailed at Vicksburg, Miss., on which was the following: My Dear Sir With best wishes', yours or 3 4 to hand. I am well. Please pay draft. I saw a gentleman whom i sent message home to hurrv affairs up, which they will do. Ever, W. G. C. March 29, '84. Capt. Bell immediately telegraphed the mayor of Danville to hold the man, that he had reason to believe he was a swindler. On the 25th of March Cai.t. Bell received a letter from Jas. B. Moses, Burton's Creek, Campbell county, Va., telling him of the arrest of W. G. Crawford, and stating that said Crawford had been at his house one month, and his wife and two children two months, lhe letter expressed sympathy with his wife and family, and said that the lady was a good woman, and asking him to retain $42 of unsettled business between he and Crawford, as upon Crawford's repre sentations. Capt B thought it was worth while to find out first when Crawford went to Mr. Moses' house, and in answer among other questions asked for dates. A letter from Mr. Moses, dated March 27th, states that Crawford received the letters con taining the different sums of money written to, and the valise containing the clothes shipped to Huntsville, Ala., from an express office at Law yer's, Campbell county, Va., on the Virginia Midland Railroad, and that Crawford went to his house on the 17th day of February, and his wife and children came there on the 1st of February, which it will be noticed was about twelve days before Capt. Bell me' him at King's Mountain. In answer to a letter addressed by Capt. Bell, making inquiries in regard to R. P. Shelton at Edenton, he re ceived a reply from Mr. Pruden, a prominent lawyer at that point, that there was no such person as R. P. Shelton in Edenton. And thus closes the first chapter in the life of this accomplished scoun drel. He gained the confidence of Capt. Bell. Mr. Garrett and Mr. Baker, at King's Mountain, by repre senting himself as a Mason in good standing, and having secured that, it was an easy matter to represent that he had money due him in Edenton, on which representation he pretended to borrow, but really stole money from Capt. Bell and perhaps others. In some accounts published in the papers insinuations are made, from the fact that letters wore found on him from Uapt. Bell, that he in some unaccountable and unexplained Way was in sympathy with or knew some thing about the crime for which Crawford was arrested. The bare in sinuation of such a thing is an out rage which needs no denial. Capt. Bell merely befriended a man who represented himself to be a Mason in good standing and a gentleman, who turned out to be a sly, slick, un scrupulous scoundrel. . . m m Rub I lie Gums Well with SOZODONT when they become spongy or de tached from the necks of the teeth.
