pit; and Purgaron knocked Mendrez down because
he refused to treat. On recovering, he drew re-
volver, and Purgaron dagger poro took the
revolver away from him, and prevented Pur-
garon from attacking him with his dagger ; Rod
rigues also drew dagger and offered to use lit; but
Poro prevented him also. Afterward, Mendrez
abused Poro for taking his revolver from him and
Poro, not liking the abuse, slapped him over.
The examination was a lively one The lawyer
who had been employed to defend the accused,
had been posted as to the antecedents Of Mendrez.
The lawyer asked Mendrez this question: Were
you not once sent to penal colony for ten years,
| for highway robbery in England!" Mendrez re-
piled, Indignantly, Data no question to aslS-a me
| no ansa data question:" The lawyer kept on :
" Did you not once serve term in the New York
Pententiary for larceny" Mendrez answered,
more wroth than before, 81 tell you no ansa
| data question; you insulta me!n The lawyer
had one other question Z" Are you not a fugitive
| from some foreign country, where you have been
convicted and sentenced to death for murder ?' 1t
| is impossible to describe the rage of Mendrez at
| this. He appealed to the Recorder. "Mista Re
corda you set-a dere an let data man nsult-a
me? 2" At this, one of the accused parties asserted
that Mendrez was murderer, a highway robber,
and a thief, having been transported from foreign
| country, and been in penitentiary in this. Men
drez at once retorted, speaking to the several ac-
cused in turn, "Ah, ha, you, too! You been ina
| de work a-iouse and-a you been ina de pen-a-
ten; and you ALA steal an rob!n The Recorder
had at last to put stop to the conversation of this
sweet set.

The nature Of tile case as we have ii from re-

type business. Moses, to give them start, and to
4 make money through them for himself gave them
/ a hundred dollars worth Of apparatus and mate

some absence they sent to Moses 500 which they

auently visited the CITY Of Mexico and other in
terror places, Jared badly, bursted up, and re-
4 turned to this city penmess.
Some time ago 1t came to their ears that Moses
was circulating the report that they had swindled
and robbed him whist they were IN Mexico, by not
sending him the further proceeds Of their business,
to which proceeds he heid himself entitled. Inc
