THE BEERHOUsE RoBBHRY.-Recorder
Houghton yesterday examined into the
charge made by Bernard Frain that Lizzie
COrcOran and others, of the beerhouse No.
66 st. Charles street, had robbed him of
$500 in currency, and o gold watch and
chain. Mr.. Frain testified that he had been
in the house, taken few drinks, and was to
accompany Lizzie Corcoran homo at mid
night. just before twelve o'clock she in
formed him that she was ready, but that
they would first 60 up stairs into the
'counting-room" and take glass of wine.
In ascending tho stairs, she followed, and
had her hands ON his coat. Arriving on
the second floor, she handed him glass of
wine, which he drank, and almost immedi-
-ately became unconscious. His senses did
not return until soon after two o'clock,
when q man-Davidson-roused him up
telling him it was time to close the room.
Arriving ON the banquette, the fresh air
awakened him still more, when he dis
covered that his money and watch were
. gone.
He remembered having his valuables
when he started mp stairs with the woman,
who Is vegetable faced body, having a
turn-up nose, all her features being plas-
tered over with an ugly enamel, which gives
her whitewashed appearance. Officer
Coughlin, previous to the complaint, had
noticed Lizzie and q man named Westle
hurry from the house and drive off in a cab.
He then remarked that some one had been
robbed, and informed Corporal vankirk of
his suspicious, which officer Immediately
egan an investigation, although they did
not know that FRAN had been victimized
or where he was at LIT time.
When they found Frain theyIa once
drove ont to the wonan's house. and ar
rested her and Westle on Gravier street,
but made no discovery. On the following
morning, while Frain was making an afi-
davit against Lizzie, Flynn, one of the
keepers of No. IS, entered the clerks office,
and handed a watch and chain to complain
ant, but no money. An affidavit was then
fled against Flynn.
The above is about as stated in court yes
terday, on which Lizzie Corcoran was COM
mitted to the Criminal Court for trial, while
Flynn, Westle and Davidson were dis
charged. Members of the City Council will,
perhaps, be edited by reading this state
meut, as it plainly portrays the character OF
concert saloons, so-called.

ming the members of Fire Company No.
followed the remains. of their late comrade,
