Pierre Berlin.

The arrest Of this notorious thief, for con
nection with the robbery of Rochereau &
Co.'S safe on st. Louis street Saturday night,
affords the first intimation the public have
had of the whereabouts of this adroit
rogue since his discharge by Judge Cooley.
We certainly hope that Judge Cooley will
not summon the prisoner into his court and
release him before the authorities can have
an opportunity to investigate the charges
against Berlin in this case. as he did when
the proof WAS forthcoming to convict him of
the robbery of Mr.. j. s. Clarks safe, at the
corner of Canal and Broad streets.
Whatever may be the proof against Ber-
tin in the present case, he can not escape
conviction for stealing one or more of Mr..
Clarl's diamonds.
Now let the community sternly set their
faces against any interference with the ends
of justice by any court in the matter of
Bertin, and let the thief be convicted
sentenced and punished.
