We learn that but four persons Witnesses Of the
shooting the gentleman who was drinking with Dr. h
Graham, the gentaeuan who was drinksg with Mr. i
Toledauos and two 81 the barkeepers, who were be-

Our report yesterday was not exactly correct as 10
the number Of shots fred by both parties The ex.
animation OF the deceased, as mentioned above,
showed that Mr.. Toleaano fired 1--WE shots; his re-
volver, containing five barrels, was found to, be
empty. When the Doctor fell in the street, his ps--
to, deringer, was found near him, and it had not
been discharged. It was reported that another der.
ringer, empty, was found on the spot but Of the
whereabouts Of this pistol we have not heard One
OF the barkeepers told positively, that sir shots
were fired, and as Mr. Toledano could not have fred
more than five, it is probable that the Doctor fired
once. The investigation to-day will doubtless set the
matter at rest.
Nj. Toledano was yesterday transferred from the
lochupto the Parish Prison, where he received and
continues to receive the visits Of large numbers Of his
| friends.
The deceased is to be buried from bis late residence
at 10 O'Clock today. The funeral invitation is pub

JESSE W. RoBB was yesterday arraigued before
Assistant Recorder Munroe on three separate aud
very serious charges, to wit: l. Ry his wife, Flor
ence Robb, charging him with beating and bruising
her, and threatening to kill her Saturday evening
for being at Mrs Amanda C. Burgess house, No. 81
Tchenpsouas street, and refusing to leave there with
him. and at the same time and place drawing knife
and cutting Levina R. Puen with intent to kill and
murder. 2. By Mrs. Helen Martin, charging him
with beating and brusing her, and assauting her
with dangerous weapon with intent to kill, at the
same time and place; and 8. By Mrs. Amanda G.
Burgess, charging him with disturbing the peace Of
her house, assautiug and beating her. stabbing at her
with intent to kill, and smashing and running $l0e
worth of her parlor and diuing.room furniture. Ii
default Of $1,000 bail on each of the three charges
Robb was sent to prison. 1t would appear from tht
above that Robb is the very mischief among the pet
ticoats but the stories are, that he was sinnet
against as much as SHINING. and that bis violence
was the result Of bis futile effort to reclaim erring
wife, and assault made upon him by the ladies who
had assumed to take that wife under their protection
Robbs examination was fixed for the 23d inst, ant
then all that is excusabe in his will come out.
