Rochester, N.Y Daily democrat April 24, 1867

HEARD FROM - John B. GARRISON, the rascally foreman of Chapin's mill,
who absconded in the summer of 1865, after having embezzled some $2,000
worth of money and property belonging to his employer, has been heard from.
For about a year and a half, and until a short time since, he has been located
at Lawrence, Kansas, as agent at that point of the Pacific Railroad.
A young man named CURTIS, formerly a clerk in McKindley & Pollock's
hardware store, but now a resident of St. Louis, saw and recognized GARRISON
at Lawrence, but the latter denied his identity. He was passing by the name
of
J. G. PARKER. Mr. CURTIS held some conversation with him, and the result
was that the rogue became alarmed, and in the course of a few days
disappeared,
greatly to the surprise of the people of Lawrence, among whom he was held in
high esteem. His wife, who was with him, still remains at that place, but all
trace of him is lost, for the present. It is unfortunate that Mr. CURTIS did
not
apprize Mr. CHAPIN of GARRISON's whereabouts at once. If he had done so
the fugitive would have been in the clutches of the law at this time.
It is said that the young girl from Syracuse, with whom GARRISON is
supposed to have contracted an illicit connection before his departure from
this
city, has become a professional wanton, and was, some months since, an
inmate of a house of ill-fame in Rochester.
