Sam Green and John Williams alias Sill Wesley,
two notorious olored individuals whose only bus.
mess seems to be to operate upon the Ignorant
and credulous OF their own color by means OF the
"strap and ball." "needle case" "thimble rig"
and other like games, were arrested by Officer
Lusby for operating successfully upon an aged
colored man named Charles Wood, and stealing
from him little over ten dollars In money. Part
OF the money was found on Sam Green and don-
titled by the old man, and as the money was taken
from him by force and without his consent, JUS
tice Tucker, OF the First precinct, committed him
to Jail for court. The witnesses having left tho
station-h house before Sill Wesley was arrested,
he was committed for q further hearing. Sill,
when the officer presented his warrant, offered
to resist, and the result was the shedding OF few
drops of his claret. These two fellows have been
operating for some months upon the colored peo-
pie, and have been several times arrested but the
evidence heretofore only justified the work-house
penalty. They now have gone step further
