Enthusiastically Recorder Caldwell was occu-
pied for two three hours in the investigation of
the charge against James Foster, Augustus Cady,
and Frederick Marshall for being concerned in the
robbery of Mr.. Charles jewelry store, on the 9th
of April.
The District Attorney and Mr.. Frank HAYNES
appeared for the prosecution, Col. Field and Mr.
VIM Hoyes appeared for Foster and Mr.. Woolf
and Mr.. w. H. Wilder defended Cady
Col. Field applied to the Recorder to divide the
charge, and try Foster upon a separate affidavit.

mentioned in the inventory produced, which were
found in the' possession of Foster, stolen, as
well as large amount of other property not as yet
discovered. The articles stolen consisted OF the
usual stock of general jeweler, and comprised
rings, watches, etc. He had discovered about
S33o0 worth of the property in the possession of
Foster, and about $1,000 more was missing He
thought the goods were removed from Cady's
house, 80 Craps street, to the house and shop of
Foster, but few hours previous to their discovery,
which was on the Monday week after the robbery.
On the preceding Saturday, he heard that the
jewelry was at Cady's house, rolled I'D in a table
cloth, and put in the armor, but on going there
to search, he found that it was gone Subsequent
information caused him on Monday to watch the
shop and house of Foster, on Camp street, and he
took several officers with him for that purpose.
Mr. Foster left the shop shortly after the arrival of
Mr. Charles, and before the first portion of the
goods were discovered, be went after him to his
house the corner of Race and Camp streets
Here he arrested him, and he then made volun-
tary statement, and pointed out where part of the
goods were secreted He was then taken to the
Watch house.
A long cross examination took place, but no new
evidence or additional facts were obtained, other
than those which have already appeared in print,
with the exception of voluntary statement, said
to have been made by Foster to the effect that he
was promised 500 for allowing the goods to be on
his premises.
Police Constables Higgins and Farrell testified
to the finding of the property il the blacksmith s
shop, and to Marshall being present when thew
