The leader of the New York mob was
Mr.. Andrews, one of the editors of the
New York World, the principal Copper
head journal of that city, and promi-
nent orator of the party Hew arrest
ed on Thursday last and lodged in Fort
Lafayette, but not until Judge McCunn,
very active Copperhead politician, the
Judge Perkins of New York in fact, had
issued writ of habeas corpus to set him
at liberty and replace him at the head of
the herd of murderers he had already
led into so much crime The circum-
stances of his arrest are thus related by
the New York papers:
"Andrews was arrested by detectives
McCord, Farley, Radford and Dusen-
bury. They found him in bed with a
colored woman, at No. 10 Eleventh
street. He was somewhat disconnected
at first; by the time he dressed himself,
however, he became calm, and said had
he known the object of the visit, there
would have been some difficulty in ar
resting HIM He wished to be taken at
once before magistrate, so that we
might be admitted to bail; declared that
/ the arrest without warrant was arbitrary
and unconstitutional He admitted that he
made a speech on Monday, but declared
he had not spoken in public since that
! time
"He told reporter that be made the
same speech to the mob that he made
at the Peace Meeting, so called, at the
Cooper Institute. Several persons are
ready to swear that they have heard him
make incendiary speeches to the mob
since Monday. His name is John U.
Andrews; he was born in Virginia, and
has been in this city since 1859. He is
about thirty-f years of age; has brown
hair, blue eyes, and full sandy colored
beard He speaks with the Virginia or
negro accent. He has a severe cut on
the temple, which he alleges he received
by slipping on entering the cell.
"Andrews was President of a Club in
the Eighth Ward in 1860, which con-
tained most of the notorious thieves,
pimps, and gamblers in that Ward. For
a long time he has lived with colored
woman, Josephine Wilson. Officer S. j.
Smith states that he saw him walking in
Broadway with her, arm-in-arm, last
week. She has kept house of prosttu-
ton in this city for twelve years; she
came from Boston. About eight months
ago her house, then 1l3 Green street,
was broken up, a complaint having been
made against it. Andrews went to the
station-house in the morning ard re-
quested permission of Sergeant Wilson
to take the black woman in a carriage
up to jefferson Market The sergeant
refused.
ANDREWS himself walked with her to
the bar of the court, and demanded to be
allowed to plead her case. The Justice,
not satisfied that he had any authority to
appear, refused to hear him. A bond
was given by the black woman to appear
at the Special Sessions, and an indict-
ment was found against her. She did
not, however, appear, when the case was
called, and bench warrant was issued,
in serving which the officers found her
in Andrews company at an uptown ho-
tel She was fined $50, which broke up
the house No. 113 Green street. Since
that time the whereabouts of the house
hold was unknown to the police until
they had occasion to arrest Andrews.
Mr.. Chandler, of Norfolk, now consul,
says that Andrews has wife and family
in Virginia, who have been compelled to
leave him.
Marshal Murray, through Thomas
Sampson, one of his deputies, conducted
