were urnished . , and he prepared the letter in
the stciS of his obliging friend, and-in his.

Notwithstanding these ",appearances, there
wereircumstanses strongly Conflicting with
the supposition: that the 14tter e had been ix&
btxl." • The postscript :was an unnatural affair,
for no one guilty of opening a letter for - .the
phrkose pf appropriating its contents, WOuld
stop to write an explanatory 'postscript, es
pecially as such a.eourse would only increase
the chances oftis own sieteetion v • and , in the
. -

present inStartee, there had been no delay of
the letter to allow such an addition. -

posited,l•and the advanced age and the excel-'

An interview was then held with the eler

already stated. • i Gincerning . the, writing' of
the document, and' its deposit, inf the letter

stud , for several iiionths, and at my request,
imm . , iately brought in several sheets for it
A nparison of
.this with:the • sheet: upon .
I d
which the rife <I epistle had been written,
show that the latter a totally different
artiefe from the first. - The shape and design
of the stamp, the size of the sheet, and the
shade. of the paper, were all - unlike; More
ove:the. Wafers used at the bank, where the ,
handed dollar note - was obtained,' and the
lett, eenta Ming it ,sealed, were very dissim
ilar tb either of those which appeared upon",
the ' post buy ' letter,.
Fr i ont the 'consideration of all these facts,
1 I wai,satisfied that a gross and contemptible
fraed i had been perpetrated by the Writer of
the httter, and lust no. time in proeetslin c , to
the 111/age where that personage lived'. I
callef upon the. postmaster; and made some
inquities r:lt afire to. the character and pecuni
ary
. eirettinstances of the person in , question.
From the replies Made, it appeared,:as•l hive
already stated, that his reputation in the com
, inun4y - was good. - . i
- I thought it might be. possible t1e , ,... 1 .1.., in - so
stnali a place, 1 could ascertain -whether be
had Ihtely Passed -ti hundred dollar note, -as
lie would have been likely.to have done, if it.
I was r..e that he had not inclosed •‘tt •in the
t New_ haven letter. . .
Ca ling at the store which recei'ed most.
of his custom, I introduced myself to the pro-
Pricttir, made a confident of filth to some ex
-teat, land learned that the very next (tay after
that i n which the aforesaid letter wai mailed,

:merchant could not then change it, but sent
tle . flqpr, and changed a bill which bg sup
poseik to be the•sam l e a few days afterivard.
Arined *with thes i e irresistible. tuts, I pro
• cveded.to call On the ad venturous deceiver of
the clergy, whn, had attempted to snake one
member ofsthat- hOcli second his intention to
cheat pnother. ' Insatiate archer? could, not

Being thus hoed pressed, and finding him
self cornered, be confessed that hei had pre
paredi-the letter which was received at New-
Haven --postscript, double wafer 4., and all,
beforn he left home,
and that, while crossing
the stimt from the bank to the p 214. office, he
substituted this for the one he wrsite* in the

sifted ou, soaks; expression's, some phrases;

some were to coadempatory. (indirectly . ) of
