SUPPOSED RoBBERY.-Th following ap-
peared in the Petersburg 1nder Of Satur-
day: "
"a telegram was received at police head
quarters, in this city, evening before last,
from Richmond, requesting the arrest of a
German named Sebastian Kemper, who, 1t
was alleged, had in his possession jewelry
and money to the value of ssven thousand
dollars, stolen property. 1t was stated
that he left Richmond ats o'clock On
Thursday morning, but whether he came to
Petersburg or not is unknown. The dis
patch authorizing his arrest was not re-
ceiyed until between and 6 o'clock ?. NJ,
and he had, probably, abundant time to
pass through town before his presence was
known here. Where the robbery was COM
mitted, or whose property was stolen, was
not stated" * 81. @.a.f g
1t appears that the arrest was made upon
the request, by telegram, of Kemper's wife,
who feared he was going to desert her.
Subsequently he satisfied her that her fears
were unfounded, and she requested his re-
lease, which request was granted.
