Deputy P. W. Ross, of Ypsilanti. has had to come home empty handed and leave Reddin Smith, jr., the man who passed the worthless drafts off on Mrs. Nowlin, behind him. Mr. Ross had his prisoner on the way to Michigan and had reached the third tier of counties in Georgia, when he was stopped by a telegram from the governor of Georgia to let the man go. Mr. Ross got the requisition signed in the absence of the governor who, it seemed had promised Smith a hearing before any papers handing him over to the Michigan officer would be issued.
