Phenix gazette. [volume] (Alexandria [D.C.]) 1825-1833, 1825-06-04

Among the passengers in the stage
which was upset at Washington few
days since, as mentioned in our last,
were Mr.. S. Z. Raymond, of Vermont,
and N. H, v. Bennett, late from Mon
treal. The former left this city few
days since in pursuit of Bennett, who
had robbed two trunks at the Pearl
street House, kept by Mr.. Hays, Of
which we learn the following particu-
lars from the Statesman of last even
ing
Bennett, who has resided some time
at Montreal, and was employed in the
sale Of lottery tickets, arrived in this
city i'll the same boat, which brought
Mr.. n. Wood, merchant of Middle
bury. Vermont, and Mr. Raymond,
also Of Vermont. They all took lodg-
ings at the Pearl Street House, and
Mr.. Wood and Bennett were put into
the same room.-Bennet soon found
means, by false key, to open Woods
trunk in which was found consider
able amount Of money, put up in dii-
ferent packages. The cunning rogue,
in order 10 avoid Immediate detection,
took some from each Of the packages,
| amounting in all to about $500; then
carefully replaced them and locked the
trunk. He was then ready to COM
mence his travels except that his ward
robe did not correspond with his re-
plenished pocket. To supply this de-
hcency, he ooeaed the trunk of another
boarder, and took such articles as were
wanted for immediate use; then chang
ged part Of the paper money for
gold, and started on his southern tour.
Mr.. Wood, on missing the money,
two days after Bennett had gone, pro-
cured Mr.. Raymond 10 go in pursuit
ofthe supposed thief whom he over
took in the mail coach from Baltimore
to Washington. A letter from Mr.. r.
received this morning and dated at
Baltimore, states that the clothes sto-
len BY Bennett had been found in his
trunk aud upon his person, and that he
had discovered where $500 Of the mo-
ny had been paid. Mr.. r. is on his
return to this city with the culprit, who
will probably have the benefit Of aiding
in the erection, and becoming a tenant
of the new State Prison, in Westches-
ter county.
Ne,o- York, Nay Sl.-The CONNER
cial of last evening furnishes the fol-
lowing particulars of the murder Of
Swiss on Friday night last -
The body Of the deceased was found
in Sanduskyhill road, lying on his face
by the fence. There was small mark
Of violence on his head, and evident APP
pcarances of strangulation upon his
neck. The body was soon identified
TO be that Of Frederick l.. Tiege,
Swiss, who arrived here in the ship
Criterion, Capt. Paine, on the 18th inst.
from Havre. He was one Of a compa-
ny Of FIVE, who messed together on
board of the ship. After landing here,
deceased, with one or more Of the pas
sengers, put up at the William Tell
Inn, kept by Theophilus Frey, in Ami
ty-street. He had some money, watch
es, jewelry, Sc. in his trunk.
Soon after the body was recognised,
suspicion fell upon two brothers Of the
company who came in the Criterion,
named Charles and John Henry Car
pier, in pursuit of whom officers were
Immediately despatched. And while
the Coroner's inquest was sitting, at
the old Alms-House, man with blood
on his coat attracted the attention OF
the crowd, VIII, proved to be- one OF
the two brothers mentioned. His bro
Their was also discovered in the crowd,
and both were arrested. They deny
every thing relating to the murder, but
some of the property of the deceased
has been found upon them, and a watch,
supposed to have belonged to the de-
ceased, but which has not yet been
clearly identified. The trunk Of the
deceased, and that of one of the pri-
soners, was found at the William
Telr' tavern aforementioned. They
have, moreover, acknowledged that
they were indebted to deceased for mo-
ney borrowed to pay their passage
The prisoners have sister who came
out with them.
