THE GREBLE POISONING CASE Testimony
of the Family Physicidn-Arssnic and
Nitrate of SilUer Detected.-The preliminary
examination of Joseph Greble on the charge
of attempting 10 poison his wife, came up in
the Police Court yesterday afternoon, and
one witness was examined. We give brief
summary of his evidence:
DR.. b. f. Richardson sworn-Or the 4th
OF July last, was called upon to visit the
tsmily of Mr. Joseph Greble, No. 1923 Linn
street, east side, south of Liberty. Found
the child very sick had been vomiting
frequently and the mother also. The symp-
toms of both were alike: very great thirst,
taintness, prostration, nausea, burning
pain, and disposition of the stomach to resist
every thing, whether food or drink, In
quired what they had eaten at previous
meals and prescribed for them as case of
cholera morbus, brought on by improper
food. Next morning called again; the symp-
toms were the same. Made prescription and
permitted the mother, who was better, to
attend the funeral of the child now dead.
Went North and returned on the 25tb was
called in again on the 9th by Mr.. Greble,
who said, "My doom is cast" and in answer
TO the question Why?" he said: My wife
is going TO die" Found the patient afflicted
in very much the same manner, though con.
sideTa6ly emaciated. On Sunday called
again; prescribed citrate of magnesa and
| rhubalb Attention was called to glass of
| water which had peculiar taste; Investigated
| the matter but could not determine the
| cause. A vial of medicine was then brought
out containing white sediment at the bot
| tom, supposed to be undissolved super-car-
| donate of soda, which had been given in the
medicine. AS was going out Mrs. Brown,
| sister of the patient, who resides in the ad-
| Joining house, called me in and showed me a
| white powder wrapped in paper, which had
| been found in an out house; judged from the
taste that It was arsenic and feared that il
was the same that was in the bottle; took the
| medicine TO achemist-Dr. Gordon-and had
it analy zed.
All the tests showed large quantities ol
aTseniOus acid. Returning to the patient
found her much the same; enjoined upon
her TO take nothing whatever but from heE
sister or mother, Iemarking, 81 fear you
have been poisoned Took the vial con
tanning the water, which had by this time
given red color to the glass; had it an
alyzed and found large quantities of nitrate
of silver. Called on patient again; when
leaving the house was spoken to by Mr.
has been taking poison. If it were so
should 90 crazy in an hour" The next day
Saturday, be remarked that he understood
he was suspected OF administering the poi
son, and said, ~ am as innocent as my child
Asked him whether he had bought any ar
senic within the last three or four months
said no, but finally admitted that he had kon
with another man for some to give to a sicl
horse. The witness could not remember tn
name of the man, but thought 1t was Lam
bert, teamster.
At this point the case was'continued unit
this morning at halt-past ten o'clock.

BURGLARY LAST NIGHT TUo Men Arrested
and ConUicted.- Last night, about one o'clock,
Officers Mullen and McCarty, while on their
beat, heard the cry of "watchp from wo-
man, on Third-street, between Vine and Race.
Running in that direction, they met two men,
who dodged behind some goods boxes, on
Pearl. street. One man had his boots in his
h0nd. They were arrested and taken to the
house No. lO7, occupied by Calharine Toher
who related that she was awakened by hear
ing two men in the house, and that she un-
locked the door of the room and ran out,
when she discovered a pair of boots which
had been left behind. Going 10 the outside
door, man attempted to push her back, but
she ran out and called the watch.
She recognized one Of the prisoners,
Charles Dawson, as the person at the door;
he had no boots on at the time. A burglar
ious instrument called an "outsider," was
found on the goods-box where Dawson was
arrested. An envelope dropped by John
Hughes, the other prisoner, was found in the
house. The house had been thoroughly
searched and gold breast pin and one OF
two other articles taken.
There being no doubt of the guilt of the
two, they were held over for trial in the
Criminal Court under bail of $1,000 each
Hughes represented himself as a merchant
from Lexington, KY. He was recognized
however, as man who had some time age
prscticed the confidence game upon an indi'
yidual in Covington.

Return of DR.. Hayes. Arctic RxOed,t,o,

Return of DIR. Hayess Arctic Expedition.
A telegraphic dispatch from Halifax am
nounces the arrival there, on the 9th inst of
the schooner United States, the vessel in
which DR.. Hayes sailed from Boston on his
last expedition to the Arctic regions, bring
ipg back the commander and party all well,
but reporting the deaths of two of their fell
low voyagers. These two are Mr.. August
Sonntag, the astronomer and second in COM
mand of the expedition, and Mr.. Gibson
Caruthers, the carpenter.
The expedition sailed from Boston on the
7th of July, 1860, in the schooner United
States, one hundred and forty tuns burden,
which had had its name changed from that
of Spring Hill. The plan was to proceed fr4t
10 Upper Navick, in lat. 70 deg. 40 min.,
there to procure dogs and furs, to leave that
port about the end of July, and, proceeding
through the middle ice, to reach Smiths
Straits about the 18th of August. 1t was
calculated that the first summer would be ex-
hausted in reaching that locality, the winter
setting in early in September. From that
time till March, 1861, they were to remain
inactive; but on the earliest return of sum
shine, sledge parties were to be formed and
engaged in making explorations.
The expedition reached Smiths Straits,
about the 18th degree of north latitude, on
the 2Gth of August, 1860, but found that the
ice could not be penetrated, and that the
schooner could not reach any higher. They
wintered at Port Foulke, expecting to get
into Smiths Sound when the ice would be
melted in the summer 1t was in this Sound,
in latitude 78 degrees 40 minutes, that DR..
Kane's vessel, the AdUGRce, had to be abRn-
| doned in May, 1855. But the Straits con-
tinued sealed up, and so far as the naviga-
| tion of the Sound formed part Of the plan, it
had to be abandoned.
Sledge parties, however, were formed, and
in one of those DR.. Hayes made explorations
as far north as 81 degrees minutes; about
the same latitude that WAS reached by sledge
| parties in the last expedition commanded by
DR. Kane. This point was reached on the
18th of May, 1861.

Mr.. August Sonntag, whose death we are
sorry 10 see recorded, was an experienced
voyager highly accom- plished artist and
distinguished man of science. He was en-
gagged in the service of the Government on
the Mexican expedition, on DR.. Kane's Arc
| tic expedition, aud, we believe, on Commo-
| dore Perry's Japan expedition. His deaCh
will grieve large number of friends and
admirers.
We wait with interest DR.. Hayess report
Of the expedition.
