A GOVERNOR IN GAOL.

forgery and fraud.

INDIANAPOLIS. April 23.

Warren McCray, who was serving a term of imprisonment, recently got out of gaol long enough to write a pencil note to the Secretary of State, resigning his position as Governor of Indiana.

McCray has thus <flosed a remarkable business career. He " schemed to make 10,000,000 dollars.

Reverses came, however, and McCray was ruined.
