The AFFAIR AT CHESAPEAKE CIrY.-A
legal investigation of the mysterious al
fair, which we mentioned two weeks ago
was made at Chesapeake City last
Saturday, before Justice Rowland, the
result of which was that Alexander
Culinary and Perry Chopper, Esqs., both
citizens of Chesapeake City, were held
to bail IN the sum of two thousand dol
lars each to appear at Court. 1t appears
that four men were passing through the
village OF Chesapeake City, when one of
them stopped at the house of Mr.. Crop
per and asked for some bread. Mrs. G.
refused to give him any, whereupon he
made use of some impairment or insult
ing language to her. Mrs. C. called to
Mr.. Culinary, near neighbor, who fol-
lowed after the man and beat him.
Some time afterwards Mr.. Chopper came
home, and he and Culinary went in pur-
suit OF and caught the men, and beat
them very severely. A few days after
wards the body off man was found in
the vicinity, partially eaten up by hogs
or dogs, and SO much disfgured as to
prevent II from being recognized. The
circumstances of the case soon excited
suspicion that the deceased was one Of
the men who had been beaten by Col
mary and Chopper. These gentlemen
then asked that an examination of the
case should be made, whereupon, Mr.,
Grason, the States Attorney, ordered
summonses to be issued, and full in.
vestigation made, which resulted as we
have before mentioned.
On subsequent examination, three
OF the men who had been beaten were
present, who testified that one of their
party was so much injured by the blows
he had received, that he was unable to &C.
company them, and that they had never
seen him since. We have also heart
that they described the kind of clothing
he had on, and that afterwards, wher
the body which had been found wa
taken up, the clothing upon It agreed
with this description. These three men
being unable to give security, were com
united to Jail on Monday last. and are
to be retained as witnesses. The nam'
ofthe missing man was Dennis Gafferny
We give the circumstances of this un
fortunate affair as we have heard them
without expressing any opinion for OIL
against either party, leaving the proper
authorities to do justice to all.
