LOST TRUNKS AsD LOST DocUxIsrs.-A COURroCs
CAsE-Detective Officer G.. +. Smith Monday
morning went to the City Hall Police Court for the
purpose # obtaining search for the premises
No. 6il Broadway, at which he had been convinced,
from the researches he had made, were to be found
two trurkes, "one black and russell, and marked
j. +. G." lott some time during March last by John
f. Clue Of Duchess Co., n. T., residing on the road
from Poughkeepsie to the Village of Hyde Park.
They were advertised for at the time in the
L Al xJors for
their recovery The warrant was granted and, as e1
pected the trunks found. Mr.. Clue it appears is at
present in the city attending law case, and was,
therefore, sert for to take possession OF the trunks,
and pay the reward. In company with his counsel,
ex-Judge Dean Of Poughkeepse, Mr.. Clue msde his
appearance but contrary TO the hopes Of the officer,
expressed indignation at the seizure of the trunks,
and refused to pay the $780, He admitted that the
trunks were his but denied that they the ones
stolen. In the mean time the rumOr became current
that very important will case was pending at the
Surrocate's in which Mr. Clue was interested, and in
which lie had sworn himself unable produce certain
important documents, alleging that they had been
stolen with his trunks; and the examination in the
case set down for o clock in the afternoon. Mr..
Clue expressed great anxiety to have the trunks well
guarded while at the Police Court. II was also sta
ted that Mr.. Clue had caused half dozen parties to
be arrested in Poughkeepse on suspicion OF having
stolen the trunks.
At O'Clock, a throng Of excited lawyers, fat
women, and Withholding men, took possession of the
Court room. The proceedings were commenced, but
the points in the sharp, that tue law
yers and interested parties caused the examination
very much to resemble what might be designated as
hubbub. At one time, the whole company, Judge,
officers, and all went headong into the little ante
room of the Court to open the trunks and ascertain
the nystery-each one manifesting the most intense
excitement Mr.. Clues counsel stated that his
client had made affidavit stating that the trunks
,rere not the ones stolen and advertised for and he
therefore moved dismissal This settled the mat
ter and neither the Public Administrator who
claimed the trunks as the possession Of deceased
lady, relative of Clues, nor the detectives counsel,
who argued eoquenty for the 800 reward succeeded
in the stormy array of their logic.
