In the Police Court, to-day, at III o'clock, before
Judge Rogers the case of Isaac Il. Hutchns William
LaselI ,JetLro H. Goodwin and James McCrillis came
ND for further examination on charge of being con-
nected with certain store robberies the particulars Of
which we have before given in full.
Mr. LaselPs case was called FIRST. Mr. Russell, one
OF his counsel, in his behalf waived an examination,
but said he wished make statement They should
not have waived but for the wel.known rule OF this
Court and ns rigid enforcement, not 10 assume jurs-
dicon in cases where ultimate jurisdiction might lie in
another Court; but where there was any appearance
of guilt to send the case 70 the Grand Jury for nves
gatiOn. They did not waive from any fear 10 meet
tie charges; on the contrary, they were ready and
anxious to meet them, and were entirely ready now
for tie investigation. And they knew that when the
investigation did take place, Mr.. Lasel and his Assoc
ciates would tiumphantly vindicate themselves from
de charges which had resulted from the foolish, III
advised judged course Of the persons VINO ha! taken
the lead against them.
The complaints had originated with person while
tailoring under malGdy for which he was rot response
be and it would be shown that these persons bad
listened to accusations from the lips OF mailman rather
tan those of a person qualified 10 make them And ne
hoped that this statement would be made az publle as
the accusations had been.
The Chief OF Police Daniel j. Coburn, said that in
regard to the matter of Huchinss insanity he did not
with 70 make any reply. He would say however,
that in bis interviews with him. he bad never seen any
evidences OF insanity.
Mr. RUSSELL suppose the gentleman does not pre-
pose To consider himself an expert.
Mr.. LaselPs Fecognizanee was liked at VI 100.
Mr.. Hutchns case wac then called. lie i charged
with breaking and entering. hF. Russell said ne and
hs partner, Mr.. Hudson counsel for Lase We're su-
! thoiized 10 waive examination for Dir. Hutchns.
| MIR. Cobun said there was another complaint
against Mr.. Hutcns for breaking and enteiing and as
away and he should therefore ask that his recogni-
zance he ia cd as high as was proper.
Mr.. Hudson Iged that if be WAS lDsane he was not
responsible Tor bis acs and that therefore that was not
for having his BAH raised The Court declined
10 take any action unless Hutchins present.
He was then called, and, not appearing, was de-
faulted.
Mr. Goodwin's case was next called His counsel
j. T. Paine, said be very happy 10 announce that
The Government satisfied of his Innocence, and
lat Eol pros. bad been agreed on and would be en-
Tered as the County Attorney was al liberty
Mr. Goodwin was then arralgned on another COM
laut Tor receiving frock coat and pants stolen by
Hu,cins. He waived examination for the same rea-
zen az Mr.. Lasel, ana was neld III S2O0.
McCfiliis brougl; up on a new complaint for
breaking and entering and was held in 81 500 for trial.
The Committee Oh Pole, are again investigating the
matter Of tie alleged robberes.
hutchiBs and MoCrilhs now deny all the statements
and confessions they have made about the matter.
HutChs does not assgn any motive Tor the statements
lie made. In fact, he says he does not see why he
ever made charges against officers whom he now de-
cares to be entirely nnocent Tut suggests that he must
lave beel crazy.
Among the singular circumstances in regard TO the
-ase are those connected with officer Lases mplica-
lion in the affair." Among the statements made ag inst
him by Hutclins, one To the effect that be had
sto en- knife in his pocket, al pair Of boots on his
feet which he had stolen out OF "a shoe store. aseil
was charged with the ofei ses, at first much con-
fused aid finally substantially admitted the truth OF
the charges.
On Monday last, a hardware dealer came up to the
Second Station having heard of the charges, and
stated that time SINCE has store found broken
olen by Lasell, who stayed there and watched It all
night. In the morning the gentleman offered TO pay
him, but lie declined any remuneration. He then took
out lie kuife which Lase was charged TO have stoen
and gave it to hin. In regard to the boots, gentle,
nan who formerly boarded with Lasell las identned
them RS pair which he sold Lasel. The later now
recoects both circumstances bat says at the ne Oh
the nvestionon he was so excited that be could not
think how he came into possession OF he articles.
