Among the number who visited johnson, Of
Hicks, as he is also called, at the station house
yesterday was his wife, who had arrived in the city
at an early hour in the morning. She was not pre-
viously aware of the nature Of the charge against
her husband and upon learning it became much
excited. She was much affected during her inter-
view with the prisoner, and wept bitterly. John
son appeared slightly moved, but endeavoreo 70
console her by denying the truth OF the accusations
against him. The prisoner was also VISITED py q
matchmaker, who recognized the watch found In
his possession az having belonged to Captain Burr
johnson maintains the utmost GOODNESS ana indir
ference, and has engaged Connecticut lawyer to
defend him. He will be brought before the United
States Court this morning and examined on
charge of piracy. The wife of Captain Burr was so
much affected at the unhappy fate Of her husband
as to entirely PROSTATE her system aud 1t Is re-
norted that she now lies in very precarious condt
ton. Public interest in the shocking affair OF

The pilot boat George Steers brought to this port
yesterday afternoon the wreck Of the oyster sloop
Spray, which she found anchored and sunk four
! miles of Barnegat The Spray had previously
| collided with the sloop Lucinda of Rockaway.
From the fact that but one person was seen on
| board - the time of the collision with the Luz
cinda together with other suspicious circumstances
in relation to the affair." it is feared that tragedy
similar in its features to that on TIE E. a. Johnson
was enacted on board the Spray, the victims of
which were the captain and his brother. A China
man named Jackalow, who was the only person
seen on the Spray at the time of the collision
with the Lucinda, was subsequently picked up by
the schooner Thomas Z. French and brought to
this city, which he is supposed to have left. As
his route is known to the police, there is little pro-
liability of his GLIDING their vigilance and his ar
rest may be looked for this morning. Full details,
so far as they have been developed, are given
elsewhere.
