MORGAN’S CAPTOR IS DEAD

Lewis Hamilton Bond, Once Nominee for Governor of Ohio, Succumbs in Cincinnati. Cincinnati, Aug. 13. —A long and eventful career was ended, when Attorney Lewis Hamilton Bond, who had the distinction of being the captor of General Morgan, and at one time was a nominee for governor of Ohio, died at his home. In 1862 he was appointed by Governor Todd to superintend the recruiting of troops. In 1863 he was sent from Parkersburg, W. Va., to pursue Gen. John Morgan, the famous raider, who at that time was operating in Ohio. His command followed Morgan for five days and captured him.
