CITY INTELLIGENCE.

Both Parties Discharged. We mentioned last
Wednesday the arrest of DR., Hatch, alias DIR.
Brown, alias DR.. Jones, on the charge OF coun-
terieiting, also of James A. Campbell, on the
charge Of larceny, and stated that it was sort
Of retalatory act between the parties. The
facts as adduCed at an examination of DIR. Hatch
before Samuel Manning, Esq, on Saturday,
were as lolows:-IhG warrant for Ilatchs ar
rest was issued on the Slh of April, 1916, con
the oath OF James A, Campbell, that David
Brown, alias DIR, Jones, alias DR.. Hatch has
copnterieited notes pn porting to be oil the Far
mars Bank Of Mary Iand.n Hatch was absent
and was not arrested until last week, by officer
Hays, Hatch having returned to the city. The
warrant for the arrest OF Campbell, was issued
since tlatch's arrest, and if there was any re-
taliation in the act, il was on the part Of Hatch,
and not Campbell, as we stated. We learn
that Hatch was before the Grand Jury of Bal
timore County, on last Thursday, to endeavor
to have an indictment found against Campbell
for tho larceny, but the Grand Jury dismissed
the complainant, and found no bill, In regard
to the charge against Hatch for counterleitng,
Campbell testified that in May, 1915, (ncarly a
year before he made any disclosure of the iact,)
Hatch had given a one dollar bill purportnn
to be on the Farmers Bank of Mary land, TO a
German named John Pracht, in payment for
some bread, at the time they were il co-part-
ncrshp at the "Sevcn Mile House, on the
Restcrstown Road. The German testified
that he had received the note, but finding it
was not good returned it to Hatch who gave
him good money for it. Campbell testified fur
ther hit Hatch had stated to him that he knew
the note, (as well as a number of others which
he had III his possesslon) was not good, and
that he O1atCh) had gotten them up. Hatch
also requested him. that if any more Of the
same kind Of notes came in, to redeem them
tor hun, that as he wasnOW appointed Justice
OF the Paace, he did not wish any difficulty to
occur. The notes were preserved by Campbell,
who got them in his possession, and were pro-
duced at the examination before Justice Man
ming, and were not found on Hatch, when ar
arrested last week, as we then stated. The ev-
idence having been heard, ard not being sufii-
cient to fasten the charge upon DR.. Hatch, he
was discharged. Walton Gray, Esq, appeared
as counsel for the prisoner.
