Miss Ann Edwards. She subsequently removed to
the neighborhood Of Chapel street, where she still
keeps up an establishment About the anne time
there lived in Rivington street a respectable young
man, of the name Of Thomas G. Davis. This poor
fellow had a very fine plump and handsome little
wife, who got acquainted with couple OF blackegs
or THE YES, named John Baker and Charles Edwards.
Davis did not like this socaton. and most urgently
pressed his wife 10 g cut it" She did not follow
his advice but often admitted Baker and his friend
to the house privately. One day they brought
large trunk, which they said they wanted to leave
there, and Mrs. Davis permitted them to put ii
der he bed, where il reI aimed for time. Last
Monday week poor Davis was taken very queer. No
one could tell what was the matter and he died. His
final equies were performed--no inquiry was made
into the of his death, and the i'll naured of the
world now say that it is not impossible but he may
have been sent 10 his account by foul means. Whe
Their so or not will, in all probability, never be
known
Frem some circumstances which came to the
knowledge of Gil Hays, he last week went to the
house of the widow, and there he found large
quantity of stolen property, and, in trunk, the
splendid illustrated library, jewels, and wardrobe
which had been carried off from the lodgings of the
beautiful and accomplished Miss Ann Edwards, in
Thompson street. Gil, on this discovery, brought
off the little widow, and then he set to work to find
out the burglars By dint Of Gil's exertions he got
hold Of Edwards, and secured him without much
trouble; but, on getting foul Of Baker, he showed
fight, drew dirk, and swore he would do some thing
desperate. Gil, however, coud fight little, and
after short tussel, he secured Baker and brought
MN OF.

celebrated rufan named Josh Frazee, who is sus-
pected of setting fire 10 the Public School in Hous
