At the time we attributed his eccentricities to poor whiskey. He seemed well posted, claiming he was a soldier under Napoleon and fought at Waterloo. Becoming too demonstrative, he was locked up in the calaboose and kept over night. We learn that from here he proceeded to Richmond where he stole articles to the value of $75 from Howe's Boot Rnd Shoe store.
