lie has already been informed of the arrest Of
man in Delaware, calling himself Ware and
Of his subsequent arrival ia this city. From
his first examination before the Police, it APP
peared that he had for several years followed
the seas. Four months after his arrest, he
went out to St. Thomas, and returned, as SUI
percargo, on board the John Quincy Adams.
Since that time he has been living sort Of
promiscuous parsonage, at different hotels and
boarding houses and he accounted for the
money found upon by saying he had won
$500 from his sister. The reason that he
threw away part of the money, and ran into
the bushes at Delaware when pursued, was,
that he feared that he should be put in
to gaol there, (the name we forgot to note
DOWN for which he had no great partiality.
The reason that he did not come directly on
with Hays, like an innocent man, was, that
his lawyer told him he must not. And the
reason that he gave such equvocal answers,
when examined in Delaware, was "because
they asked him so many foolish questions"
But during this examination, no information
was elected by our magistrates relative to the
late forgeries. 1t has been known, however,
to the Police, that he had been vagrant fell
low about town, without dollar in his peck
ct, and had suddenly become flush. For that
reason, and others, he was pursued, overtak-
en-. and brought back, and after the unsatis-
factory examination committed to prison,
with instructions to the jailor to keep him in
the utter darkness of the dungeon.
On Friday he was brought out for re-ex-
animation; and it appears that a cool, dark.

stated that MIR Redmond, keeper of the U. S.
Hotel. in Pearl st. and late of Petersburgh,
Va. together with himself and third person
whose name we shall omit for the present,
were concerned in forging the large check Of
the Messrs. Howands, upon the Union Bank.
Preparatory to this. they broke and robbed
the store Of those gentlemen, taking cam
ceed check and check book, by which they
made the accurate limitations, both of sigma
lures and filling up. The person whom we
have not named, did the writing, and Ware
was to have presented the check. He went
to the Bank for that purpose but his heart
failed him and he returned without effecting
it. Redmond then took it, went to the Bank,
with bank book under his arm, and got the
money.

rested and underwent an examination, on the
charge of Mr.. Ebbetts, cashier of the bank.
Mr. E. had some misgivings when the check
was presented, but on scrutnZing the bearer
not the slightest change of countenance, or
movement was manifested. and he appeared
so composed and deliberate in taking off his
gloves and putting them on, aud there was SO

soon afterwards met Redmond in the streets,
and recognized him, whereupOn he was ar

for heavy damages. He has since continued

extensive hotels in this city. with attempting
to avoid any scrutiny. Mr. Ebbetts was exam

The Cashier of the Merchants Bank, like
wise testified that Redmond was the man
who presented Mr. Aspinwall's check for pay
ment at that bank.-Nothing has been elicit

borne's check. Ware says that all the mon

three. He says that Redmond, himself and
his accomplish sometime since went to the
Bowery Theatre together, where the latter
cut pocket book from mans pocket. with
a pair of scissors. 1t contained 800, which
sum was divided among them. Redmond
underwent another long and serious examina-

the transaction, or of ever having seen Ware
before. Ware says he should have made an
earlier disclosure, but he was in honor bound
not to divulge the names of his associates.
