The DEATH OF THE LATE Mr. NoBLE.-In
publications made in this city concerning the
circumstances attending the sudden death, a few
DAYS since, OF Mr. Noble, of New York, in a
Washington hotel, serious injustice has been
done to its proprietor, Mr.. Enrich, by omissions
to publish facts elected in the course of the testi
mony; unintentional, we have every reason to be-
that account. From the testimony as thus pub
lished the inference may be drawn first that the
deceased came to Mr.. Emrich's house with a
l9rge sum Of money in his possession; and next
mat when applied to by policeman 10 know if
Mr.. Noble did not have rooms in bis hotel he
(Mr. Emrich) answered in the negative;-neither
being true. According to the statements of MIR

York on the 9th Of April, and Of course must have
expended IL very nearly all in living for a month
Next, ii was not Mr.. Enrich to whom the police
man applied to learn If Mr.. Noble had a room in
the house, but young German barkeeper, (Mr
Enrich being away,) who knew Mr.. n only by
the name be entered on the house register-as Mr.
Davis. 1t was further evident from the testimony
that on discovering Davis's identity with the
missing man, Noble, Mr. Enrich, without seek

(E.'sJ hotel. While sick there which was for a
single day only, he (Noble) received every necss-
sary attention, as the evidence proves; Of with
fact, ere leaving Washington, his friends ex-
pressed themselves well satisfied
