RecOgnized as n burglar and RObber
in this CITY. ....r. ...

In The STATESMAN of Saturday last, we
mentioned the arrival at the Penitentiary
of three of the Cadiz Bank robbers, one of
them called Andrew J. Jones and sentenced
to imprisonment for eleven years. This
man Jones, has been recognized by ex-
Marshal Thompson as Jackson Utley, who,
with one Williams, was nearly a year and a
half ago, confined in our city prison, and
by the brave feat of knocking down a
woman, the twain succeeded in making
good their escape from the calaboose.
Utley and Williams had been arrested for
burglary, committed in breaking into the
houses of Messrs. William Miller and j. s.
Hall, and carrying off property to con-
siderable amount. The former, it seems,
has at length, by his operations, in connec-
tion with other burglars and robbers at
Cadiz, met with his deserts, in part at least.
Perhaps, one of these days, Williams, his
accomplice in villainy in.this city, will turn
up in similar predicament.

two OF them were afterward arrested and
lodged in the city prison. The last we heard
