ARREST OF JOHN b. HOLMES FOR FORGERY
Yesterday John d. Holmes who has been before the
public, number Of times before, ws arrested on
berch warrant iisued by Judge Russell of the Court of
General Sessions. Holmes Is charged with forgery 10
having wfully and corupty forged the signature of
his wife To amortgage deed thereby conveying large
quality ofland situated in the ghborhood of Albany
to one Jan les p. Maggie. The deed in question pur.
ports to be joint one signed by the accused and his
wife Ada Holmes. The signature of Holmes Is genu-
inc, but that of bis wife is wlful and corrupt
forgery. During the last session Of the Grand Jury
young woman named Emms Duck made her apper-
suce, and testified in regard to the forgery. she al
eges that at the request of Holmes she his
wife, and sigoed the name Of Ada Holmes to the
deed AL the instrucons that she had 10 the stter
she received from Holmes, and acted entirely under
his directions. Officers forthwith dispatched TO
investigate the matter and asceraired that the
deed was forged far as the signature of Mrs.
Holmes was concerned. Consequently, upon the evil
dence of Emma Duck, strengthened by the circum-
staIces the Grand Jury found true bill Of indictment
against Holmes. The indictment was brought into
Court yesterday afternoon at | O'clock, when Judge
Russell forthwith ssued his warrant for the arrest Of
the accused. The warrant was PLACED in the hands Of
one Of the oficers Birdsa attached to the Court Of
Sessions, and at o'clock Holmes was locked up 10
tie Tombs. The prisoner begged hard not to bs
locked up, but it was no 60, aud he was accommo-
dated with cell in the City Prison.
Holmes is we believe, resident of the First Ward,
and enjoys 10 very eHvsble notoriety Upon various
criminal charges he has been brought before the pub
lie, but has managed by some hocus.pocus to escape
tie justice that he deserved On the hight preceding
the State election Of 1854 10 political row that &C.
cured in the lower part of the city, he killed Officer
Gouiley Of the First Waid. For this capital oifsnse
be was tried, bu. succeeded 10 escaping the punish
ment justly his due. He was orce, we believe. ar
rested charged with seduction and has been before
tie police tribunals several times for various o:her
e.nses, yet each time bis counsel found come loop
hole in the law by which he regsned his liberty.
The accused entertained particular adherence Of
newspaper reporters, and has more than once lsd In
wait TO irhict upon the writer Of an article showing
him up in true coors, summary punishment Letter
after letter he has cent to the editors of papers, char
t.rzing therein particular reporter as thing,
arc demanding the instant discharge of 1.-THE thiag'
from the Journal and the publication OF his letter,
which, to his mind, gave correct report ofthe occur
renee whatever i. nigh. have been.
The accused will be srraigned either to-day or Mon
day before the Court of Sessions and his case Will 10
doubt be very interesting one. Whist prompted
Emma Duck to turn traitor and expose the csne VIII
10 doubt sppear On the trial.
