The Detroit Free Press of a few days ago has the -following : An alleged swindler was arrested by Officer Jackson last Friday night. His name is Elijah E. Kidd, and his home is in Torooto. He claims to have the patent right *n a potato peeler, and he has been selling th all through Weste Goderich about th sold the right t town, for the c right to different people it Ontario. He struck middle of August, and. Wilmer Smith, of that unty of Huron. - After- wards, it is allege( , he sold the right for the same county to about 20 different per- sons, charging $50 n each case. When Smith lea tied of this he had Kidd pretences. Kidd was ilt and AM. Polley, of cl for $200, and he was to s for an examination. In went to Owen Sound, arrested for false 'bailed by Thomas Goderich, on a bon appear in eight da the meantime he Walkerton and lyth, and in all three places he was arrested for the offences al- leged to have been committed in Huron county, as the officers of the different towns did not know that he was out on bail. As soon as this was learned, he was released, but he did not appear for trial on the date, named, and his bail was forfeited. A" war- rant was then taken out for his ar- rest on the charge of embezzlement and forfeiting his bail bond, but the officers were unable to locate him until he was captured - as stated in Windsor. During hie- stay in. Goderich, ,Kidd became acquainted with Julia Card, the. 18 -year-old daughter of Levi Card, a prominent merchant of that place. The girl- became infatuated with lidd,.and a plan was arranged whereby the two were to meet in London with the object of becoming married. This was some time in September, and since then the two have be in different pieces between Windeot anCLondon, where Kidd is said to have sold the right on his, potato peeler. The two reached Windsor about ten days ago, and for the first few days stopped at a private boarding house -on Pitt street. Four days ago they went to the Scott House and engaged board. 1' The chief of police had re- ceived a description of the man from God- erich, and recognized Kidd on the street, went, to the hotel and arrested him. He has Once been taken to Goderich for trial. His dupe was left penniless in Windsor, but will likely be taken care of by her father. The rascal left a wife and child in Toronto in destitute circumstances, and the wife has since died. It ie hoped he will be placed where he will not do any more harm for some years.
