Claim and Putting Up $700 Cash Bond. After several months of untiring From The Dally Item. August 30. efforts on the part of his attorneys, Messrs. C. Capers Smith and J. H. Clifton, "Professor" J. A. Goodwin, the clever clairvoyant and swinlder, was last night released from his in? carceration of several months in the county jail. Thet details of the clever swindle practiced by Goodwin, at that time posing as a clairvoyant, several months ago upon Mr. Ralph Hill, a citizen of this city, as well as the facts of his capture and final return to Sumter are well known to the peo? ple of this city and throughout the State generally. Several weeks ago Goodwin's at? torneys were successful in having his bond reduced from $3,000, as fixed by Magistrate Harby, to $2,000. Im? mediately, however, Mr. L. D. Jen? nings, attorney for Mr. Ralp Hill, the victim of Goodwin's scheme, took out "arrest and bail" proceedings, there? by causing Goodwin to put up $2. 000 as extra money, making the total bond required for his release $4,000. On yesterday, a Mr. Ray, brother in-law to Goodwin came to this city to act in his behalf at the instigation of Goodwin's family, and an agree? ment was made with Magistrate Harby whereby Goodwin was releas? ed upon payment to Mr. Hill of his full claim, being the amount of money out of which Goodwin had swindled him and the amount of his expenses in securing Goodwin's ap? prehension, the total amount being $1,000, as well as the payment of $700 cash bond. Goodwin and his relative left last night for their home in the North. It is stated that Goodwin is an experienced railway engineer and an expert physician, so he will no doubt find little trouble In making an honest living should he decide to give up the work of a clairvoyant.
