Kle Identification The Hearing In
the Elaheae Corpus case The De
cision Appeal to the . Snprenie
' Coort, he.
Mr." John's. Wise, of Atlanta, Ga., who,
as agent for the State, has been in pursuit
of the party alluded to in yesterday's paper
as an escaped convict from the Georgia
Penitentiary, who had been captured and
lodged in jail here, on a warrant issued by
Justice J. J. Cassidey, arrived yesterday
morning, sought an interview with the
prisoner and fully identified him as the
party he was after.' The prisoner, whose
real name is Joseph F. Porter, was former
ly a constable in the city of Atlanta, and
the charge against him, which resulted in
his downfall,, we are iuformed, was that of
receiving bribes from, or black mailing,
bis former colored constituents, &c, while
acting in his official capacity. There were,
it is alleged, many such charges against
him, but he was only arraigned on two, in
one of which he succeeded in securing a
verdict of acquittal. On the other, how
ever, in which he fas charged with ac
cepting a bribe for allowing a prisoner to
escape, he was convicted and sentenced by
the presiding Judge to one year's hard
labor in the penitentiary or on State works.
He received his sentence some time within
the past year, and was soon transferred to
the Dade county coal mines, where, under
ex Governor Joe Brown, lessee, he was
put to work. Through the interposition
of influential friends, however, his labor
was made to consist of work of a light
character, such as keeping accounts, Ac.
Notwithstanding this fact he seized the first
opportunity to escape, and in about five
days, or within a month after commencing
to undergo the sentence of the Court, he
had disappeared. Shortly afterwards Mr.
Wise was put on his track and succeeded in
tracing him to Texas, but he seems to have
got an iskling that a pursuer was on his
trail and left the State. He was next heard
of in Louisville, Ky., but on the arrival of
Mr. W. at that place the " bird" bad again
flown. He seems next to have retraced his
steps to his home in Atlanta, but remained
there but a short time, and was next heard
of in Washington City, then in Richmond,
Va., then in Columbia and next in Wil
mington, from whence, after a brief stay,
be made his way to Raleigh, where he ob
tained employment in a saloon. Here, as
stated in our last, he was about to fall into
the meshes prepared for him, when he ex
ecuted a brilliant strategic movement and
"fell back in good order" once more upon
Wilmington, where, after a sojourn of a
few days, the wanderer was suddenly seized
.and caged.
"Porter is a man of very fine personal ap"
pearancc aud pleasing address, is about 30
or 35 years of age, and appears to have
made quite a number of friends here as
well as elsewhere in his travels, where the
parlies were unacquainted with his record.
He is said, too, to be very respectably con
nected on both his father's and mother's
side. .
The case came up before Judge Henry,
yesterday, on a writ of habeas corpus, and
His Honor decided, after hearing argu
ments from counsel, that the prisoner
should be remanded to the custody of Mr.
Jiio. S. Wise, who has a requisition for him
from Gov. Smith. From this decision the
prisoner's counsel, the Messrs. London,
craved an appeal to the Supreme Court
At last accounts His Honor had not fixed
the amount of the bond required and Por
ter still remained in the custody of the
Sheriff. . : - ) .
THE ESCAPE FROM RALEIGH.
We learn that the police of Raleigh are
very much put out - at the escape of Porter
alias Flournoy from that .city. It seems
that they had a full , and complete descrip
tion of the individual at least a week be
forehand, but notwithstanding all the light
and information they - possessed for their
guidance they "bounced" on yeans Bal
timoreaht visitjng that city ' and jailed him.
We are further informed tbat: tbre
is actually not the slightest resemblance
whatever between the unfortunate gentle
man from the 1' City of Monuments" and
the said Porter alia Flourney, a fact which
does not reflect much, credit upon the de
tective facultiesof ..the!' City o paks." Ia
the meanwhile the real object ef their
search, having got wind of the affair, took
advantage of the excitement incident to the
arrest of the Baltimorean' and "folded his
tent like the Arab and silently stole away"
to Wilmington, where, as a matter of course,
he soon " came to grief."
THE LATEST.
The agent,Mr. Wise, left for Georgia on
last evening's train without his prisoner,
who will probably have to remain in jail
until the next meeting of the Supreme
Court.
Treasure . Seekers . and . What They
Found'.
We learn that a-party "of 'several persons
who had been led to believe that money
was buried at a certain point near the
"DrarnTree," two miles below this city,
went down there on Tuesday night and
commenced, a search; or the supposed
treasure.' "Their. kWras rewarded by
the appearance of a box; Very much decay
dj which, upon; being opened, was . found
to contain the body of a man, probably at
soldier who had been buried during the
war, in the last stages of decomposition.
It is related that the party 'Iwas taken with
a suddsii laviai,vbic&7()uid seem very
natural under :thecircumatancesut in
what condition they left the remains, wWb
fell) far short of the treasure they sought,
we have not been advised.
N. C THURSDAY. DECEMBER 1G 1875.
The Police and Fire Telegraph. -
Mr. L. A. Angel, Manager of the West
ern Union Telegraph Company in this city,
has returned from a visit to Richmond, Va.,
where he consulted with Mr. J. Wj Kates,
(Assistant Superintendent of the W. U. T.
Co. for this district and inventor of the Sig
nal Telegraph of which we have heretofore
spoken) in reference to the necessity exist
log in this city for some reliable system of
burglar and fire alarms. Mr; Angel repre
s nted to the inventor our financial Inability
at present to adopt any of the expensive sys
tems of telegraphic alarms which are in use
in the larger cities, and in view of our con
dition and necessities induced Mr. Kates
40 devise a plan and make an offer in re-.
gard to supplying our city with these facili
ties, which to us who know something of
the cost and practical merits of almost all
the systems now in use seems at once sur
prising for its cheapness and thoroughness.
We last night saw a sample instrument at
the telegraph office in the Dawson Bank
building, and made an examination of it in
all its parts and workings, and we must say
n justice that we" do not know ofa single
U3eiul character possessed by any other
instrument which this has not, and
there are embodied in it some . points
of practical superiority over any
other with which we are acquainted.
If we can secure its adoption here, we be
lieve it will place our city on ah equality, in
-the- matter of efficient police and fire de
partments, with Richmond and all the other
great cities of the conntry wherein it is in
use, and that without any real increase over
the coot -f the present inefficient (however
faithfully auimimtered) service in those de
paitiueut. While everyone knows that; life land
property are at present entirely at the mer
cy of nightly thieves and incendiaries in
this city, and that under the present system
of administration nothing but a levy en
masse of the citizens into the police force is
able to change the present status, we are
unable to conceive any reasonable? objec
tion to our following the example of others
in . adopting the telegraph, on the present
inexpensive terms, as the only plan our
day has perfected by which the efforts of
the authorities can be supplemented add
made effective for the public protection;
and, in fact, among all those with whom
we have conversed on the subject we have
yet to meet one who did not favor its
adaption, When the advantages of , this.
Byslem in these particulars and as a private
messenger-call are properly presented to
our citizens by the gentlemen who
have interested themselves in the mat
ter, we think there will be found
very few who will not see their best inter
est in the placing of this beautiful little in
strument (which in appearance reminds us
of a lady's toilet-case) in their homes and
places of business.
We understand that the successful intro
duction of the system now depends mainly
upon the securing of one hundred sub
scribers who are willing to pay $2.50 a
month for the use of an instrument which
the company will place in' their establish
ments and keep in working order free of all
other charge. The first cost of the instru
ments and wire will be greater than, the
whole amount which will be realized for
the use of all the instruments for many
months to come. It is proposed to put the
system in operation immediately if proper
encouragement is met, and we think that
number of subscribers should be obtained
the first day.
The company is enabled to undeatake
to do business on such low rates of charge
only by having economical advantages over
all' others heretofore organized. ' They
writ have no office ' rents to pay, add but.
small expenses for services of operators' autj,
messengers, as the business will be con
ducted at the Western Union office and
the employes -mostly connected with the
regular business of hat company.
W'o presume Otfrreaief s will recall the
advaotagesof the system' -as we have bere
