who gave the name of John Carroll was ar
rested IN the second story of building in Ex-
change place, on the charge OF what is COM
monty called sweating gold"-depreciatin it
in value by means of acid.
Charles w. Wood testified that he was accom-
panied Dy two gentlemen 10 the place of deien-
dant and, after efecting an entrance, they
asked what his business was, and he replied
that he was jeweller. He was then asked for
the gold dollars he had bought in the morning,
and alter some hesitation he produced them.
They were IN acid, and were taken possession
OF by Mr.. Wood. There were also some gold
coins of larger denomination. They were all
taken to the Marshal's Office, and handed over
to the custody of that officer. Upon the person
OF the prisoner several bills of purchase of gold
were found. 1t was proved that he had made
some sales of gold coin which had been found
to be much deprecated in value. He was held
In S26OO bail for trial. We learn that Carroll
