Notes

The Wayne Sentinel Vol. VI. Palmyra, N. Y., Friday, Jan. 9, 1829. No. 26. Asahel D. Howe, of Norwalk, Ohio, form erly of this village, has recently been detected purloining money from the U. S. Mails, whil e acting as assistant Post Master. He was arrested and held to bail to appear before the U. S tates District Court; after which he left the place. He was again arrested at Euclid, a few d ays after, and conveyed to Columbus, to be tried at the U. S. District Court, then in session . It is said a large amount of bank bills, thus purloined, were found in his possession -- On tario Repository. Note: Asahel Dudley Howe (1880-aft. 1850) was the younger brother of Ebe r D. Howe. Both served respectively as editors of the Painesville Telegraph. Asahel's 1828 cr ime was still recalled in Painesville a decade later -- see the letter in the Apr. 6, 1837 issue of the Painesville Republican, wher e the writer says that a certain Mr. Howe "has a brother famous for his editorial qualificati ons [Asahel D. Howe], who once suffered materially for having an inclination to steal, and a t the same time, not having ingenuity enough to keep it concealed... and after having been fu rnished a seat in one of the houses at Columbus, for the space of three years, 'tis not surpr ising that he should come out well prepared, and highly qualified for a Whig editor of the to wn of Painesville." Joseph Smith, jr. also refers to Asahel: "Asahel Howe, one of E. D.'s brothers who was said t o be the likeliest of the family, served apprenticeship in the work house in Ohio for robbin g the post office. And yet notwithstanding all this, all the pious priests of all denominatio ns were found following in the wake of these mortals." (Aug. 1838 issue of the Elders' Journal)
