The three young dsrkiss, Peyton, Coving-
ton and Robinson, whom Joe Arnold took in
tow, yesterday, on . charge Of burglary, were
unable to vindcate their innocence, rs they
proposed &c do.
About the 9Th Of this month they entered
the house Of Mr.. Signaigo, during the night
| time, and distracted thsrefrom articles OF
clothing valued At thirty.hve dollars. Sig.
naigo furnished Arnold sample OF the pecu-
liar buttons that were on the stolen shirts,
and by this alone, Arnold detected his men,
one after the other in quick succession. When
brought before squire Bross they insisted that
they had bought the shirt, from Jim; : but
Jim failed to recollsct any such transaction
with them, for the very good reason that
little inquiry developed the cache where the
young rsscals had deposited the stolen goods,
and brought out unquestionable proof OF their
guilt. The squire committed them in default
Of $500 bail, to await the action Of the grand
jury. They persisted to the last, however,
that they had bought the goods from "Jim,'
and that they could COAX him into an acknowl- |
edgement Of the fact. For this purpose Jim |
was sent TO their cell. After brief confer |
encc Arnold was called in to hear Jims con-
fesson. 1t was about us follows; "Soon MS l
get in here the brack scoundres swore they'd |
murder me unless ! 'fcssed to sellin' EN- de
shirts; and TO keep EN- off ! tole I'd do so.
They're mean, loafn', thievin' niggcrs, and /
never sold EN- nuthin" And jim was right.
One of them had just completed years SER
vice in tho penitentiary, and the other two
are notorious petty thieves, who have been
punished repeatedly for III ,ir acts Of villainy.
Yesterday was dry day in police circles
il being the evident intent Of our people that
our city's exchcquer shall not be replenished
through the operations Of the police courts.
One Of our policemen having hygiene eye
brought up Aleck Daemond on charge Of
an obnoxious ont house. 1t
appearing, on trial, that the house to which
he Objectionable appurtcnancc was attached,
iad remained closed several weeks, and that
Dacmond was innocent of any purpose TO of
end, he was ordered 10 go ncqnit.
John Murphygot drunk again but begged
H. lie would offend no more; in fact lie
'ould shake the dust of the town from his
ecl, that the question of the towns ability ,
D get along without him might be decided by I,
ctual experiment. On the strength of these 4
romises John Murphy went acquit.
