THE FORGERY CAsE-FURTHER DEVELOP.
MENTs.-Calihan and Toohey, the men whose
arrest for forgery we mentioned yesterday,
have been given into the hands of the Grand
Jury, which will shortly present to the Cir
cult Court now in session in this city, an in-
dctment against them for that crime. Its,
therefore, probable, that they will speedily
receive whatever degree of punishment they
are entitled to. Since the arrest evidences
of the guilt of Toohey are crowding in thick
and fast.
1t is known that he, some time ago, pro.
cured watch on forged note, and yester-
day a constable from Glendale, Ohio, arrived
in this city and recognized him as the man
who, short time ago. under the name of
Bagan, had forged the name of a man in that
place. 1t seems that he presented the note
in Lockland and succeeded in selling it
there, the man to whom he made the trans
fer stipulating that the two should go to-
gether to Glendale and see that the arrange
ment was satisfactory to the giver of the
note. To this, Toohey assented with SEEM
ing willingness, and they got on the train
together. On approaching Glendale, feign-
ing headache, he stepped out ofthe car upon
the platform, and as soon as the motion of
the train slackened somewhat he leaped from
the train and fled, since which time till yes
terday he had not been seen by the officers.
CIRCUIT CoURT.-The trial of Cornelius,
for felony, was concluded in the Circuit
Court yesterday, and the jury brought in
