MCRDER.-The case of 5. G. Ladd, sometimes
called DR.. Ladd,) charged with having MUIR
dered another gambler over the Orleans House,
on Common street, and which has engaged so
much of the attention of Recorder Summers the

the arrest of a negro fellow who had committed
a murder in Georgia, was duly convicted and

leuient toward fellows whose good taste led
them to select the most comfortable position for
a snooze in the whole city.
