A special from Columbus, Decem­ ber 1st, says: John K.- Hutchison was received at the Penitentiary to-day from Greene counU on . a two--ear sentence, for embezzlement. Hutch­ ison was teller o f the First National Bank o f Xenia nndTrcaHurerofXenia Township. In 1885 lie gambled and lost $4,000 o f the township funds, which his bondsmen made good and no prosecution followed. Hutchison’s father mortgaged his property to se­ cure to one o f the bondsmen half the amount he was obliged to pay, and it was accepted as canceling the entire debt. About a year ago, however, this bondsman secured an indictment against the Ex-Tcpasurer, and threat­ ened, unless the balance was paid, to prosecute him. To force payment he last week seeure'd a requisition for Hutchison, who has beeu living in Indianapolis, and the latter, learning o f it, came to Ohio, walked into the office o f the Sheriff a t Xenia this morning nnd gave himself up, was taken into Court, where he pleaded guilty, received his sentence, and within thirty minutes was on bis way to the Pen. H e arrived here at noon, and was permitted by Bherift LinUuut to call on a number o f friends be* i being taken to the prison.

After modestlystating that he rarely gambled, he said on one occasion he had carelessly placed a dol­ lar on tho number 111 on p roulette table, and that IS won five times in suc­ cession, his original wager being al­ lowed* to accumulate. All but ono of the diners aocopted the tale and ex­ pressed their astonishment at the ex­ traordinary occurrence. Tho oxcoptida made soma rapid calculations on the back of tho menu. "Colonel,” asked tho Exception pres­ ently, "howmuchdid you say you won?** "1 didn’t say," replied tho Colonel, “ but It was several thousand‘dollars." " I t must have been several thousand, at least,” said the. Exception, pleasant­ ly, “ I think It must have boon even moro. Yob said nothing about the limit, so I assumo that you were allowed tho unusual privilege of playing without a limit," "Certainly, air; certainly," answered tho Colonel, stoutly, but noticing tho Exception’s figures with some nervous­ ness; “ 1 requested jocularly that the limit bo removed, and tho request wm granted." . "Very well," went on his tormentor, “ then you probably bankrupted tbo gambling house. If, as you say, you did not take downany of your winnings, you must have won a mighty fortune. Oh tho GratroTI of tho wheel" you won $35, on tbe second $1,289, on the third $44,100, on tho fourth $1,543,500, and on the fifth $54,022,500; quite a satisfactory evening’s work. What did you buy with it?" The diners laughed loud and long. The Colonel’s faco was very red, "Ob,’* said ho finally, "that was only a little pleasantry."_________ .. A t n t w a l.lno*la'« t*tfa*r.
