Heavy Diamond Robbsry--s something New.
Shortly after six O'Clock last evening the resi-.

Fort Greene was entered by roober who carried
OF the following rich spoi:-one diamond set OF
ladies' jewery, valued at $2,7oo; one gold watch,
$3.50; one set diamond Jewelry $500; one set s7oo;
one set Of knives, $75; one gold chain. $50; one
pocketbook, containing 5000; one gold-headed
cane, $25. The rogue adopted the novel
plan OF scaling the piazza to the second
story window, which he raised, and enter.
ing the apartment worked at his leisure In secur-
ing the rich plunder ABOVE entire, while the
family were enjoying their supper peaceably In the
basement. When Mr.. Gutierrez went up stairs
he discovered that the doors on the second
floor were locked, which excited his suspi-
cion. Gong out upon the roof OF the piazza he
found that the front blinds were closed and fast
ened by rope. The police are looking after the
thief and his spoil, but their prospects OF success
are slender indeed.

and conclusive as against three OF the indicted par
ties.
Blythe and Toms, who were in Court, were posi-
lively identified by Montana miner, VINO was pass
ing through to Arizona and who witnessed the
bloody transaction A third party, one Morris,
not yet arrested was fully described,
and other witnesses Will tomorrow identity
the balance OF the assassins At the close OF the
examination OIL several witnesses the Court ad-
journed to meet in the Liberal Institute tomorrow,
where the people can be accommodated.
There is great excitement over the anair and 1t
is generally hoped that justice least Will be done
in ono OF the most atrocious murders ever commit
ted In Utah.
All the accused are Mormons and the victim was
Gente, and judicial determination will settle
the question whether II was or was not Church
murder.
The determined efforts OF the Mormons and their
paid allies to bring Utah IN as state is arousng
the indignation OF the Genles OF the Territory and
a concerted movement will soon be made to show
to Congress that the Americans and loyal
citizens OF the Territory are opposed
to the scheme which must result most disastrously
