and open them In the presence of the jailer, but was
not willing that tlie contents should be divulged
the jailer. The justice said that the jail was un
der the control of the hustings court and not of the
postmaster-general, and the prisoner must submit
to the rules of the jail.
The most important development which has come
to light in the ease was discovered to-day. This man
has always denied that he hud any connection with
Marvin, or was connected in any way with any of
the numerous crimes of that notorious villain. To
day information was received by Commonwealth???s
Attorney Witt, from Auburn prison. New York, that
Marvin???s picture had been examined by one of the
keepers of that institution, and that he recognized
it ns that of T. A. Merritt, a man with half a dozen
aliases, who served a three years??? term In the Au
burn penitentiary, for forgery committed on the
National bank of Lockport, N. Y. Merritt was sent
to Auburn In September, 187;!. Ilis description, as
appear* from the books of the prison, is as follows:
???Five feet ten inches in height, fair complexion,
bluish gray eyes, 1ms a stoop in the shoulders, and
weighs 149 pounds: part paralysis, of the lower
limbs; on his right forearm is tattooed in Indian ink
an eagle; on the left forearm is tattooed an Ameri
can flag, the staff of which is held in the beak of an
eagle, and beneath, the letters ???T. A. M.' On the
back, just below the nape of the neck, a mark made
by a seton.???
Upon the receipt of this description of the Au
burn forger. Commonwealth???s Attorney Witt visit
ed the jail where Marvin is confined, and requested
the jailer to examine the roan, .whose exploits in
the marriage market have made him so notorious.
The prisoner was found quietly seated in his
cell. When informed by the officer that he wanted
to search him he made the most violent opposition,
claiming that the officer had no legal rights for pro
ceeding in such a manner. The old man was great
ly disturbed, and manifested more nervousness than
had been observed during his incarceration. Mar
vin could not be prevailed upon to submit to
what he called an indignity to his person, un
til his custodian called to his assistance three
brawny black negro prisoners. With these
standing ranged around him the polygamist
was given the alternative of quietly submitting to
the operation or being thrown down upon his back
by the negroes, stripped to tlie waist, and forced to
ubmit to the search. When this phase of the ease
was presented to him the old man submitted, pro
testing at the same tinfc against the outrage, us he
called it. His shirts were removed, and the marks
tattooed in India ink ou both arms, described, by
the Auburn prison authorities were revealed. Tlie
eagle on the right arm was slightly
blacked. An attempt had evidently been
made to remove the ink by some cliemi-
???al process, but without success. On
the back of the neck just below the nape the jailer
found what he describes as a birth-mark, about tlie
size of a silver quarter. This is probably what tlie
Auburn prison officers described ns a seton mark.
The descriptions of Merritt, the man who served his
term in the Auhtim penitentiary for forgery, and
preparing to make it out the buxom girl began to
inch off, and hesitated, and finally said to the youn;
man in a half whisper:
???John,??? said slie, ???I don???t believe I will???I never
did feel so flustrated???lawd! I wonder what pup
py???s doing now???I feel right tremblesome???less
back: come on. John.??? >
???Well, you don???t want the license, then???? said
ie???squire.
???Hold on thar, mister;, yes, we do,??? said the
man and lie moved closer up and set his ehin to
earnest work. ???Now, Sally,??? said he, ???don???t go

But as the ceremony was under way, the girl
jerked buck, exclaiming:
???I???ll be John-dinged ef I do!???
Tlie ???squire suggested that the license had been
given, aud they had gone most too far to back out
now.
