him. The Sheriff, however, did not secure
his person, Edwards being at work at Norfolk or
Portsmouth. On Wednesday last Edwards arrived
in the city on visit, and as Mr.. Cooper was de-
attorney douglas Hambleton, Esq., to enquire
into the causes of the non-arrest of Edwards. On
Saturday morning Mr.. Hambeton called at the
Sherif's office and enquired why the capias
not served, when the Deputy in attendance told
him that the Sheriff was out of the city. Mr..
Hambleton still demanded that the bench warrant
should be served, when the Deputy informed him
that the Deputy Sheriff, who had the warrant in
his possession was also out of town. Mr.. Hambleton
then requested the Deputy Sheriff to make a state
ment to the Court, to the effect that the Sheriff and
the Deputy having the matter in charge out
of the city, when the Deputy Mr.. Sparks) replied,
''my hands tied" Edwards, at this time,
was passing in and out of the courthouse. AT
forwards, on examination by the Sheriff, it was
found that the order of Judge Bond, directing a
capias to be issued, had not been obeyed. Judge
Bond Immediately directed that capias should be
issued, which was accordingly done. Previous to
this action, however, Edwards had been arrested
on the warrant issued by Justice Myers. Marshal
Kane sent note to Judge Bond, informing him of
the arrest of Edwards, and the Judge promptly
sponded by directing him to be confined on the
charge which he had forfeited his ball. being that
of assailing Mr. Cooper, and consequently Edwards
isrow in Jail on both charges. At the time the as
sault was made on Mr. Cooper, he was member
of the Grand Jury, and he informed Edwards of
that assault several persons, occupying prominent
positions in the city, have called upon MIR. Cooper
and requested him to withdraw the charges he pre-
ferred against Edwards but that gentleman, deem

personality is determined to let the law take its
course. 1t is only necessary to recall the numer
our outrages of the Tiger club, of which this man
Edwards was the President and leader; the bloody
murder of Mr.. A. B. Kyle. and the attempt upon
his brother, Mr.. George B. Kyle; the murder of
the German Fischer, and others to cause
ment to the apathy, to use mild term, of the Off
GERS of the law, in and around the Court house,
whom the public have right to expect to be most
active in bringing such offenders to justice. Upon
the arrest of Edwards information Of the fact was
sent by the Marshal to the office of the Sheriff, in
order that the writ which Judge Bond had pre-
viously informed the Marshal was in the hands of
the Sheriff could be served. Soon after Deputy
Sheriff called and notified the Marshal that they did
not wish Ecards detained, that the Sheriff had moth
ing against him. The Marshal had, however, COM
muncated the fact of the arrest to Judge Bond,
who promptly compelled the Sheriff officers to do
their duty.

sir will be obliged to you if you will lead to
the station house, as l do not wish to die in the
street." The officer remarked that the man had a
wild appearance, and. thinking he might be insane,
asked him why he thought he should die, when the
man replied, 81 have taken poison, and | expect to
be dead in few minutes" and at the same time he
produced twO-ounce vial, which still contained
small quantity of laudanum, and said that the vial
had been full and that he had drunk the contents.
