I was then writing in tha Recorder oilier, in Canton, Staik countr.OLio. Van Rensseher called at the Recorder's Office, nnd told me that he h u something very interesting to show me. I told him I could not leave the office until Sir. Kabenfpcrger, the Recorder should return. Van Rensselaer left the office; and as soon as Mr. Re tenuporcr returned, I went to the Post OhVo, where Vau Rensselaer exhibited to me the ccrlotJate. It was enveloped in a letter, with a way-bill about it, which letter Van Rensselaer pulled Irom his pocket, (a side pocket in his frock coat, I behove.) Van Rensselaer was, at that tim, : 'f P ,,-v nn attendant in the PostOicct under Wibiam D mi.or I'jn .1,,. H.eimaster. The certificate, when

that hindol business nan ni-eu our mutual ngencv. I endeavored to impress upon his mind the fact, that this attempt would expos us to conviction and consequent punishment. He continued to insist upon its being altered. The letter, in which the certificate was enclosed, was postmarked and dated at New Lisbon, and di-

reeled to devoinnu. vner mnu. ...... and after weighing tho dillicnlties attending the transaction, I finally agreed to mike the alteration as he desired. Vau Rensselaer wished me to alter it to a very largo sum, say 13 or 20,000 dollars. To this I objected, as the largeness of the amount would induce suspicion and necessarily load to detection. It was agreed, however, that I should alter tho amount on the face of tho certificate, by increasing it from . 9100 to $7,100. Van Rensselaer wished me, after making tho prooor.t-.il alteration, to go to a distance with the certificate, and negotiate it, while he would remain at home, unknown and unsuspected in the ail .nr. lo tins I objected, as a tr.in named Stewart was in the neighborhood, and wUo, it was supposed, could much better and more conveniently attend to its negotiation. To this an.ngemeiit wo both became agreed. I took tho ccificato home with me, and made the alteration, by waiting the words "jicrf thousaneT before the original "four hundred" and bv prefixing the figure "7" before tna original "100." Stewart had been absent, sometinTc, engaged in the negotiation of another forced draft, furnished to him by Van Rensselaer and myself. After the alteration h id been ejected to our mutual satisfaction, Van Rensselaer and myself started on horseback, from Canton, to go to Folm-s tavern, four miles west of Canton, on tho Massillon road, to meet Stewart, who, we expected, was there. We left Canton by the south road, and crossed the Nimishillen at Shorb s mill, and proceeded to Flom's by the lower road, thro the plains. Van Rensselaer went into Horn, while I remained outside, secrfJod in the plain. Stewart was not there, and Van Rensselaer proceeded as far as Allen's tavern, tvvo or tnree miles further on the road towards Massi.Ion, but did not find Stewart. At Allen's he got a description of a man resembling Stewart. A few days after, however, Stewart arrived in Canton, and called at mv house. Van Rensselaer also came.

He told me that Stewart was to call in the evening for the certificate, "iv cn him by the Massillon Bank for the S V 100, in order to carry it to Cleveland, to be cashed thrre. He also informed me, that the uids obtained, bv Stewart, from the MnssiSlon Bu.k, vere marked with a capital "S," in red ink; that .hey were in 100V, SO's, 20V, and 10's. About 10 o'clock in thocventug, and alter Van RenscUer h id left me, Stewart came to my he use on horseback.

l?cor.ir.r's office, where I was enanjred as a cltik,

and, in passing Van Rensselaer's house, Van Rensselaer came out, and accosted me with the information, that he had met Stewart, and had got the money which Stewart had obtained from tiv? Commercial ll.uk of l.nUv l'rie, at Cleveland, ou the certificate of tho cashier of tho Misssllon limk. He also informed me that Stewart had started for tho West. I never saw Stewart afterward-?, until last August, when ho was brought into Canton j til, in which I was confined. When Van Rensselaer returned from his interview with Stewart, on the Cleveland road, he produced some of the monov, and gave me a portion of it to exchange off. It was then understood that Van Rons .

diani, I whs arrested, and, subsequently, carried to Canton, O., for trial. I was tried, convicted, umbjseutenccd to the Ohio Penitentiary. A writ of error was sent up, and during its pendency, I made my escape. Since my escape, I have received several letters from Van Rensselaer, all of which I havo destroyed, except one, which was tikcn from me bv tho Mayor of St. Louis, on the

occasion of my recent arrest, in that citv. After my arrest, in lS3J,and until my escape, Van Rensselaer and I havo had several conversations. I

ngreed to place my property in tho hands ol Van Rensselaer, to keep it out of the hands of tho officers of the Massillon Bmk. Van Rensselaer gave me his notes or obligations for the sum of $1500, and one other note for interest for the sum of $000 making the sum, embraced in the notes, 51 00.
