TgRsEp OYER TO Tas Ml11TAE s
Sinclair, better known as Black Joe, an en-
ployee of the Central Hotel, and delivered him
to superintendent Webb who turned him over
to the military authorities to be disposed Of.
The immediate cause Of the arrest was the
robbery Of soldier at the Central Hotel
Thursday night, by which the soldier lost
500, and Messrs. Corbett and Perkins, who
lodged at the house, were arrested ON suspicion

name was mentioned in that connection. The:
previous reputation Of Sinclair, and the fact

complexion, which gives him the nicknam OF
object OF turning him over to the military is 10
rid the city OF his presence. The innocence OF
Messrs. Corbett and Perkins of the charge Is
thus fully demonstrated.
