The Weekly Comet

The papers publish an account of the doings of one Rev. Dr. J. F. Minor, who went to Little Rock from Montgomery Ala., about a year ago. He is a regularly accredited clergyman, in the Methodist Church over the signature of Bishop Andrews. The Little Rock True Democrat says he 'bore himself in that place, like a true Christian—contracted debts—married a lady and on the pretext of settling his estate, went to Florida. Shortly after, his wife received a ring in a letter from Mobile informing her of his death.' Through exertions of the Rev. A. R. Winfield, we learn that means were raised which enabled Mrs. Minor to return to Alabama, where she now lives. This heartless villain, we have been informed, is not dead. He was seen by one of our citizens a few weeks ago in Philadelphia, in company with another lady, no doubt another victim of his deception. Dr. Minor has his left hand off, just above the wrist, is tall and slim, quite delicate, and well calculated to deceive.
