UGES StHtveCeCu ~
Three Of the individuals engaged IN the
robbery Of tie Cadiz Bank, on the Doth
ult., came into the Court of Common Pleas,
in session at that place, on Wednesday, 9th
inst, Judge McIlvaine presiding, and plead
gully to the several specifications with
which they we're charged. They gave their
names (6cticious), respectively, as Richard
Rowe. Jones AMI O'Connell. Richard
Rowe and O'Connell were sentenced each
to thirteen years confinement in the Ohio
penitentiary. Jones got two years of, for
information communicated-getting but
eleven years. SO. Dewey the remaining
prisoner heretofore reported dead was
not brought to trial, owing to the severity
Of his wound, and the critical state of his
health. The thieves before going into
Court, VT re specially careful of their toilet,
and from all reports, as great many ladies'
were in attendance, were much admired
looked the gentlemen much more than
honest men surroun ling particularly the
thief with the Burnside whiskers,' whe
waS. in point Of physical attraction, voted
por ccceUence. Richard Rowe was the
spokesman for himself and iellow-robbers.
has an oily, seductive tongue, and produced
ouite.a sensation, not only melting maiden
| hearts, hut causing stalwart m"n to sympa-
thizc with him, to so far commlsSerate crime
AS to sob aloud:
ITO shed whole pints of tears,
And wipe 'em on their sleeves!'
A crowd OF, women and children accom-
panied the criminals to the railroad depot
Yesterday evening, to see them safely off to
the Pcn:tentiary. Sympathy was express
ID, and flowers and boquets were bestowed
to smoothe the rugged path of the culprits,
if not to satisfy them that there was a pre-
MUM on crime, when enveloped in a gid
ed exterior!
gssa r. We publish the above articles in or
der to correct a false and slanderous report
which has obtained circulation, both in Ohio
and other States about the ladies of Cadiz
We assure our neighbor Of the Steubenvill'
Herald that all that fine sympathy spo
ken of, was confined to less than a half doz
en- individuals, among whom only one O
tive had arrived to years where better sens
should be expected. We suppose the,
were persons well versed in the Claud,
Duval and Jack Sheppard style Of literature

the report aud also at the foolish communi
cation printed above from the Cincinnati
Gazette, written, we suppose by the SINGER
"admirer" of Richard Rowe" Their
was no sorrowful feeling either among tn
ladies or men of Cadis, that the law shout,
be indicated, and that the Williams, VIII
had endeavored to impoverish our people
,hould be punished. Indeed, the genera
pu bic judgment would have approved
sentence of twenty years, and even then tn
punishment would not be equal to the crime
The ladies were even more severe than tn
men. Not more than one or two ladie
showed kind attention to the scoundrels
Some very small girls carried a few boquet
to the Jail; but they were requested to d
80 by the scoundrels, and they were to
young to have sense enough to refuse.
The people of Cadiz feel hurt that sue
reports should obtain circulation. 1t is to
serious a matter with them. Many of then
had toiled hard, both early and late to &C
cumulate that which these Williams sough
to despoil them Of to feel like making she
roes'' of the ~rascals who robbed them. TIL
''gilded" exterior, and polished manners @
the Williams only makes their crime tn
greater, and excites the greater Indignation
If they had been ignorant men, led estIay
sorrow might have been felt for then; bu
they were intelligent men AMI knew wba
they were doing. The ''palaver" of tn
oily-tongue Roe had no influence upon tn
/ Court. or upon the people.
