Show Smuggler in the Toils. Cape Girardeau, Mo. After posing for a week as a lieute'rnt in the United States marine corps, C. H. Harrington, Har-rington, recently arrived from the Philippines, tried to kill himself with chloroform, after confessing, according to the prosecuting attorney, that he was a smuggler, and not a navy officer. Harrington's trunk was lost by a rail road, and after identifying diamonds, silks and bric-a-brac which it contained, con-tained, he was arrested. He said he had brought the goods into this country coun-try free of duty by paying a bribe to a customs officer. |
