House is the identical "Jinl" that Is wanted.
Meanwhile various captains Of police are ready
to swear that "Jimn was safe in the station
house at the time the murder was COM
mitted. fellowprisouer takes the counter
oath that on the morning of the murder Jim
was released from the statlon-house, and mme-
diately proceeded to the Tombs Police Court,
or the purpose of listening to the exposition Of
the law by Judge Dowling, In whom he is
represented to be devout believer. Jim
himself declares that ne IS not his Jim but
another jim, In fact J ohm, and that although he
knows De la Noye, and worked his passage
hither from Troy, yet he never received hat or
coat from the exdetective. The sergeant Of
police who has been particularly active and
prominent in making the late arrests, is expe
liencing the ingratitude of republics, as mani
tested in metropolitan police districts, and is
repCsing on his laurels, and Dc la NOye has
fallen sick over the case, aud is only just con-

crimes lately committed in this city, some OF
the heaviest sentences the law provides nave,
within the past day or two, been pronounced
upon notorious offenders. One of these is
stephen Boyle, whose aliases are Francis,
Barrett, Peyton, ETC., and who some years ago
killed the sheriff OF one of the counties OF
Michigan. Both before and since then his lite
has been stained with almost every variety OF
crime robbery, murdsrous assault, and jail
breaking being his iayorite recreations. In
view OF these facts, he has been sentenced to
imprisonment for forty years. During his con-
fne@ent at the Central Office It was feared taat
his friends would attempt his liberation. Rut
fanly looking men besieged the Mulberry street
entrance, carriage was in waiting in East
Houston street, near by. and there was every
made upon the unprotected headquarters. A
reinforcement, however, was quickly made
from the Broadway squad, and the embrGo
mob dispersed. Another desperad0, Damed
George Jones, has also been sentenced to hard
labor for twenty years, aud one of the acces-
sores TO the recent $l50,000 bond robbery from
Messrs. Cambrellng and Pyne, the Wall street
brokers. has been arraigned, and finding that
peniteDce was the best policy, has "peaehed"
and given valuable information.

collecting the tax on the capital not only il

The summer OF 1866. Numerous brokers have
called upon him, and said they had no objection
