CHRls BLAIR's TRIAL.- We made
mention in yesterdays News Of Chris
Blair appearing at Virginia, having
been acquitted on trial at Nevada, CAL,
on the charge of burglary, the evidence
in the case not showing that Chris bad
anything to do with the affair. We clip
the following account of his trial from
the Nevada Transcript of Sunday: "The
trial of Chris Blair, which commenced in
the County Court on Tuesday, was con-
cluied last evening. II will be remem-
bered that Blair was Indicted, with
other parties, for burglary, alleged to
have been committed in Truckee last
April, in the attempt 20 rob the bank of
B~urkhslter l. Co. Among the parties
were Lee, John Morton, n man by the
name of Clark, Blair and Forest. The
latter turned States evidence, and on
the trial, after admitting his own COM
plicity, named the others, among them
Blair. Forest was also called in the
trial Of Blair, but failed to identify him
as one of the parties, aud declared that
be had never seen Blair at any of the
meetings Of those engaged in the rob-
berry, to his knowledge. He explained
that the Blair he had reference TO was
John Morton Blair, who went by the
latter name, but was also known as
John Morton. IL will be remembered
that Morton, at the time of the robbery,
was shot in the leg by one OF his own
party, and died shortly after from the
effects of the wound. The testimony
for the prosecution was entirely circum-
stantial, consisting mainly Of frequent
consultations Of Lee, Forrest and others
Of the party with Blair, the finding Of
the pistols bought by one of the parties
at Sacramento and other facts of a sim
liar nature. The defense relied upon
an abb; and Blair, upon the stand, told
his story in u manner and language in
dica.ing that he is n mau Of more than
ordinary sharpness"
Nor RoBBEp.-We stated yesterday,
on the autho rity Of the Oakland Tran
script, that = few minutes after the re-
cen. terrible railroad accident at Simp-
sons Station, the body Of Judge Bald
win was robbed OF two diamond pins
and q sum Of money, and that one John
P. Wallace had been arrested on charge
OF having committed the robbery, and
his preliminary examination postponed
until next Tuesday, the sofia instant.
Mr.. Charles Jones, of Virginia, the we'll
known quartz team proprietor, and
Frank Thayer of that city, also we'll
known as an engineer and superintend-
eut of mining works, 10 conversation
relative TO the matter this morning in-
formed US that they weN on the train,
aud were the 6rst to discover and res
cue tue uoGy Or Judge BALDWIN ron the
ruins. They saw no pin upon him, but
his watch which was dangling
from its guard, they took care
Of. A valuable diamond breastPin
belonging to him is now known to be at
Virginia. When his body was recovered
they took special charge Of it, covered
il with a sheet and finally placed it in
the palace car which took it to Alameda.
Mr.. Jones wife attended the body to
that place, where relatives and friends
of deceased came aud relieved her of
her sad charge. JONES and Thayer both
say they cannot conceive Of how the
alleged robbery could be possible while
they and Mrs. Jones had charge Of it;
therefore the prisoner, Wallace, can
hardly be guilty, unless the deed was
committed after deceased arrived at
Alameda. We piblish this statement
as a simple matter of justice to all
parties.
