Alleged Embezzler Arrested
Portland, April 29 – James Orcutt, of whom it is alleged that he embezzled $ 4,000, has been arrested at Dunkirk.
---
This is James ORCUTT (1856-1925) who was married to Samantha E. METZNER (1857-1890) on May 12, 1878 in Jay County, Indiana. Samantha was the daughter of John and Catherine (YOUNG) METZNER, making her my paternal 2nd-great grandaunt.
James and Samantha had 4 children : George, Lena, Mamie and Melvin. James later remarried in December 1893 to Nancy MAYO in Muncie, Delaware County, Indiana. I wonder if this court case was still hanging over him when they married.
Looks like I have some more research to do when I head to the Jay County courthouse.
