Alice were yesterday examined on the charge
The only witness whose testimony was important
was ITutchinson the prosecutor. His evidence
was in substance this That on the day he was
robbed he left the Orleans House, on Common
street opposite the ST. Charles Hotel, after drink
ing two or three times in the house. to proceed to
the Pontchartrain Railroad Depot that he cannot
reeoect going as far as Canal street, being entire

she said the house was hers, and that she did not
know how long he was there, as she had just come
in that on leaving the bed and putting on his hat
and boots, he searched his pockets and found his
purse, watch, and pocketbook were gone; that he
said to Mrs. Fnnen he had been robbed, and re-
quested light to search the room that she
fused and ordered him to leave the room immedi-
alely Witness further testified that when she or
dered him to leave the house he refused to do so
until he recovered his property; that upon this,
Mrs. Fmnen went into the street and hallOed that
IL minute or two SOmers came and caught him
BY the vest, upon which witness struck him and

they rushed in, he managed to escape into the street
unperceived by them. All this occurred in the
dark and witness would not swear positively to
The identity Of the persons; but to the best of his
knowledge and belief After leaving the house he
seeing stick in his hand be supposed him to be a
policemen, and after telling him he had been rob
bed, and pointing to the house, he requested him to
go with him; you are a robber YOURSELF an
gwered Finnen, and at the same time raised the
stick to strike witness, who retreated, and Finnen
passed on. Witness then managed to find the
watch-house some Of the police went with him to
the house and arrested all the accused, but could
find none of the stolen property about them or in
the house. Some halfa-dozen Otherwitnesses were
Examined but their testimony had no direct bear
ng on the case farther than to corroborate the evil
dence of Hutchinson TO the extent Of their know

be was not intoxicated on the day he robbed,
said he thought not; that when he awoke he felt
as if he had been in a heavy sleep. The Recorder
