NEW YORK, April 29.-About O'Clock this morn

ceeded to rob her place. Diamond earrings were
wrenched from her ears, and three finger rings,
locket and necklace were taken, all valued at f1fI5;
also about $50 in money which was tied in hand

Singular Case Alleged Conspiracy TO
Murder.
NEW YORK. April 29.-In the New Jersey
Court of Oyer and Terminer yesterday at New
Brunswick Theodore Willitts, the proprietor of
the Brooklyn Opera House. and Mrs. Anna M.
Yates, LADY of wealth, beauty, and high social
standing, appeared as prisoners charged with
subornstion of murder. James Baxter, who
caused their arrest, was formerly in the employ
of Samuel Whitehead, a wealthy citizen of
Washa, N. j., father of Mrs. Yates, and father
in-law of Willitts. Baxter charges that on the
14th of July, 1870, Willitts, Mrs. Willitts, aud
Mrs. Yates offered him $1,000 and house for
the remainder of his life If he would serve
them by killing Whitehead. They suggested
that they should get the old man drunk, and
burn the house with Whitehead in it. A month
later Baxter says he made the attempt, pouring oil
upon the floor of Mr.. Whiteheads bedroom after
the old gentleman had retired. The house was
burned but Mr.. Whitehead escaped. On another
occasion he was requested by Willitts aud Mrs.
Yates to entice MIR. Whitehead to the barn and
then kill him, but the scheme fell through. He
was then hired to waylay Mr.. Whitehead aud Kill
him, but this he did not dare to do for fear that
he might be killed by another hired hand. This
is the substance of Baxter's affidavit How true
it is cannot at present be known. The prisoners
of course deny it. They were held in $4,000 bail
each to answer at the next term of the court.
