en- nsse for that institution about which nearly ten
thousand people collected In very short time, and
.n.iousy awaited the arrival of the man they much
visbed to get their hands upon They waited in vain
A. the officers had privately taken their prisoner To
Essex Market Prison and having no other excitement
TO feed upon, kicked up disturbance With few
drunken fellows from the Five Points, which at one
time threatened to merge into a serious riot. BY the
aid Of the police and shower Of rain which came at
tina. tire, the crowd dispersed without any serious
Consequences.
Tbev were fully convinced that the prisoner had
been driven off to Brooklyn or some other place OF
safety till be could be rushed into the Tombs without
jeopardizpg the public peace.
The butchers and their friends, Who were the prime
movers il this attempt to sieze and summary execute
the prisoner, had provided themselves with noosed
ropes ard other weapons with which to execute their
PURPOSE.
The crowd correct in their conjecture tina. Ser
geant Williamson had taken the prisoner to parts IN
known but most likely this he is safely lodged IN
the Tombe.
Had the burglar and murderer been taken TO the
Tombs Immediately after leaving the Station-H House
there is but little doubt but that he would have been
killed by the mob. The prisoner is about feet
inches in hight dark complexion with black hair, and
appears to be very muscular man. He weighs about
$50 pounds. He has a broad fscei his forehead is
prominent, and, judging from his appearance he is
possessed Of more than ordinary intelligence.
On making thorough search of the prisoners prem
ses the officers found loaded pistols
fowing piece and siDge.barreled gun loaded with
sups and ounce balls daggers and dirk knives, dark
lantern, variety Of burglars implements, wax for
taking the impressions of keys, such as is usuay done
by expert burglars when they have heavy crack
on hand; velvet sack coat with capacous pocket
all through the back sufficiently large to hold several
thousand dollars worth of goods 1t pocket which
adroit shop-ers usually when they start out on
"lfing" expedition. Besides the articles above
enumerated several cans of powder wereBund in the
prisoners premises several pouches of lead bullets,
and sundry fancy articles which supposed to have
been stolen Had the prisoner reached his apartments
and got fairly ensconced there before the officers ar
rived the probability is that he would have resisted
and shot them down, or at least discharged all his
loaded firearms at them.
Ann Elizabeth Smith, colored woman, living at
No. SO Thompson street, Simon Anone Francis Moller
and Mathew SlOuth, witnesses in the case, were CON-
mitted to the Tombs by Coroner Connery till they
shall be able to give bail for their future appearance to
testify against the prisoner his trial. Coucemi, the
accused is about 40 years Of age s native OF Paer
no. Sicily and in relation to the charge made against
him, says he knows nothing at all about it.

said, as of the young men OF the fourteenth
self and to the many friends Of the lamented deceased

zen and in both capacities he had borne himself as
became man and faithful public servant. Mr.. T.
