PORTSMOUTH Deputy. United States Marshal J, B. Prichard, of Grayson, Ky., is in the city. He is also in a pickle. He was a passenger on the steamer Stanley Wednesday, enroute to Covington, Ky., with Larkin Jackson, a moonshiner, Jackson was arrested at Grayson and was to have a trial at Covington. He made himself particularly congenial to the marshal on the trip down and finally convinced his keeper that the iron bands around his (Larkin's) wrists were entirely unnecessary. The marshal thought so, too, and the iron bracelets were removed.
When the Stanley landed here Prichard met an old friend. While he was busily engaged in talking with the friend, Jackson quietly walked off the boat and started to take in the town. The local authorities were notified and learned that a man answering Jackson's description had calmly walked over the Scioto Bridge. He is probably still walking, so far as the authorities know. Prichard remained in the city today, hoping to get some trace of his erstwhile friend and prisoner, but his chances of recovering the lost moonshiner are very thin. Jackson prefers walking to riding on steamboats, anyhow.
