Dogging A Defaulter

On Saturday evening two men and a wowan arrived in the city by tlie Savan nah train, and registered at the Charleston Hotel undcr the names of H. W. Davies, Thomas Nichols and Mrs. Joseph H. Nichols. Nichols is the absconding teller of the Canadian Bank oi Montreal, who, on the llth of September last, stole frorn that bank quite a large amount of money, and, in company with his father, levanted to St. Augustine, Fia. A reward of $10,000 was otïered for the delivery of Thomas Nicholp at any place in the British dominions, and Henry W. Davies, a wellknown detective, was sent in pursuit of him. The detective has been in St. Augustine, Ma. , at the same hotel with Nichols, for several -weeks, but could uot arrest him, there being no extradition treaty for that class of ofienses between the United States and the British provinces. But he kept his man in sight, and finally worried him into a surrender. Tliis was accomplished by advertising. In every portion of the city a circular was posted, setting forth the theft, and offering 1 0,000 reward for the arrest of the fugitive. Every morning the folloving circular was placed in a conspic uous place in the hotel at which Nichols and his family boarded : THIEF!- $10,000 rewurd. Oa Sept. 11. 1875, Thomas Nichols, Teller, of the Cauadiau Uaiik of Commerce, at Moiitreal.
