LOCAL NEWS.

The Case of Lusby charged with the herri.
hle outrage on Little Octavie Rousseau.
At three O'Clock this afternoon, John F. Lus-
by, who is charged with being the perpetrator
OF the horrible outrage upon the person of
little Octavie Rousseau, on Thanksgiving
on the following night, was brought
from the Jail by Mr.. G. Ii. Fayman to the
Court, when the examination of the case, which
had been brought before Judge Fisher on Fri
day last on writ of hdteds corpus, was con-
tlnued.
The District Attorney lated that he would
prefer that the case be acted on by the Grand
Jury, and although he had witnesses present,
that they should Lot be examined at this time
Mr. Fendall, for the accused, opposed this
course, and contended that the evidence Of
fered only showed that there was suspicion
that the accused was the guilty party, and
that ii the grand jury had no further evidence,
the accused was entitled to his discharge.
The argument is In progress as our report
c1oses.

an nnfIiendly feeling between him and Or.
Keasby, in consequence OF his having been re-
ported ty the doctor to the provost marshal as
having enlisted man at the Navy Yard,
whom the doctor had rejected, to which wit
ness replied that he did not know that the doc
tor had reported him to the provost marshal;
