WM. U. BOWEN. Sept.14, 14. 1 3 pptmber 14th, Captain W. H. Bo#wen, evi dently- intimates, and wiislies the public to be lieve, that my son, Swepson 8-inders, (a youth .of sixteen years of age,) broke open and took from a letter,, he had entrusted to his care, for Mr. John H. Dixon, a one hundred 4ollar bill. The' annexed' certificate, from a gentleman, who was with my son, from the time he left my house, until the letter was lost, I deeni sufficient to show, that his insin -nitions, were altogether .-I"undless. Mr. John Dixon, the gentlei ith whom my son was boarding, at the'ti for the purpose of going to school, had no suspicion, byt that the etter was lo.st, by accident or the care ssness incident to youth. If Captain Bo .wen, had adqertised the letter, without en. deavoring to injra the reputation of my son, and the money coild not have been recover ed, I would not have hesitated, to make good the-amount, Nov. k2, 1847. JOHN SANDERS. I do certify that in the latter part of August last, I left the house of Mr. John Sanders in company with his son, Swepson Sanders, ri dling in a buggy together. A fier going somec thirteen or fourteen-stiiles, Swepson Sanders exclaimed I have lost a letter containing mno ney for Mr. Dixon. We immediately turned back, and rode tuntil after night camne on, without being able to find the letter. I then proposed to S. Sanders, to return back to my fathers, and go hack early in the mornimg in search of tihe letter. 10 (did so, and as ho informed me, could boar nothing of it. I am donfidont thed etter was lost accidentally, as I saw it in the possession of S. Sanders, a short distance aifter we loft his father's house. .Z'4MMERMAN STUCKY. Nov. 12, 1847. .3 tf -A.
