CONSPIRACY AGAINST PROFESSOR AMBER
SON-HE Is ARRESTED AND DISCHARGED
his nR AnIIEER PIE AnEN


HIS TRADUCER BEATEN.
The pureus of the police Court were considera-
bly, excited, yesterday, by the arrest of Professor
Anderson, the great magician, charged with hay
years old, who had gone to his ROOM for the pur-
pose of selling apples.
The story, 1t appears, started by barber
employed in the shop on the second floor of Rand
Hall, who pretended to know all about this last and
greatest trick of the wonderful Professor The
story reached the ears of Constable McMulkin of
the Ninth ward who, without any process and
upon his individual authority, took Prof A. into
custody. The Professor was not detained in Jail
or compelled to submit to any restraint except so
far as an arrest on parole of honor, and an expo
sure on false charge would inconvenience and
harass any The barber told very ridicu-
lous story in relation to the girl and the wizard so
prePosterous, indeed. that no one capable of weigh
ing facts would have paid any attention to him.
lie was arrested some time in the forenoon, and his
examination was to take place at 3 O'Clock in the
afternoon, before Justice Landon.
In the interim, between the arrest and examina-
ton, the officer and the prosecutor of MIR. Ander-
son were occupied in finding the girl. She was
apprehended, and taken before the Justice at the
examination. She told her strengthening had no
interview whatever with Professor Anderson mean
time substantially to the effect that she visited
Rands Hall to sell her trinkets, she went into Prof
rs room and requested him to purchase some of
the articles, which he declined doing. She re-
manned some time in his presence, when he asked
her what she wanted. She then took out a sub
scription paper which she was circulating for the
purpose of raising money to buy her sewing ma
chine, and asked him to subscribe. This he did,
and gave her dollar, when she went away. The
Professor in his conversation apart from the girl
detailed the Circumstance of their interview identi-
cally the same she had done, and the barber
who alleged the charge, and the constable who was
ofIicious in arresting Mr.. Anderson, being una
BILE to state more than general allegations, Justice
Landon promptly dismissed the Wizard, and init
mated to him the right he possessed of causing the
arrest of the officer on charge of false imprison-
ment.
of course Prof A. was positive of his acquittal
of the base charge which designing men had laid
against him. Every circumstance in the case
pointed to his innocence, and it even said that the
charge was trumped up affair, intended to extort
money from him. in the expectation that he would
rather give 500 than submit to exposure of
this character. But the parties mistook their man
and Professor Anderson stands acquitted before
the community of the dishonorabe act Professor
A. was so incensed by lis arrest, that afterward
meeting the barber who was the original cause of
his prosecution he far forgot himself as to take
the law in his own hands, and give the man a most
unmerciful beating. He beabored him severely
dstiguring his face and eyes, and leaving upon
him other evidences of not very aifectiOnate re-
gard.
