He told the Mayor that his ability as a telegraphic operator enabled him, with very small trouble, while passing any telegraph wire, to ascend and affix an apparatus by which he could find out what was going over the line. The Mayor thereupon concluded that he was a dangerous personage. Prisoner denied the inference, and wished to send for various persons in authority, who would vouch for his status. The Secretary of the Commonwealth appeared as a witness against him. The case was continued, and party sent to jail. Antonio Custilloti, a "vagrant from Washington, D. C., and a suspicious person," was committed without examination till the 27th inst. John S. Vorhees, on whose person was found a number of papers transcribed with hyrogliphics, was brought before the Mayor, and arraigned, but not released, no satisfactory explanation of his business here ever having been given.
