The pugillstic C0burn was yesterday arrested and
taken before Judge Hogan at the Tombs. charged by
Amos @. Bell OF 20 Fourth avenue. with being In
unlawful possession Of gold watch valued.at Sl25
and gold chain valued at 500. In the afidavit
filed In the court at the time the application for
warrant was made 1t set forth that Bell had the
watch and chain on his person on the nth OF March
las, and that while walking IN tho street they were
stolen from him BY an unknown person. Coburn
his pantalOOnS were OF light tweed aud looked

which, with his spotless SHIRT front and cieanly
shaver face gave him the air Of respectaoiliiy But
for his closely cropped hair there was nothing Ia
his appearance yesterday 10 distinguish him from
any other peaceaDle citizen.
Mr.. Bell appeared before his Honor, in company
with Joe and Captain Garland, OF tine Twelfth pre-.
Cinct, and sw0re positively that the chain was his,
but the watch he was not so clear about. The Judge
came into possession Of the articles referred 10
therein. Joe replied That he had recently purchased
tor OF the Arbor in Houston street, for . certain
sum OF money, and as proof o! this assertion ne
desired to have "BIllyn brought to tie court The
watch he purchased o few days previous to last st.
Patricks Day so that he was well aware that that
certainly did not belong to Mr.. Bell. The Captain
WAS ScHt httcI tHc IIoicosuI,' accompanied W w.
burn but on arriving at the Arbor they discovered
ne was lying In bed sick with rheumatic fever, and
unable according to the certificate OF the medical
man in attendance on HIM, to leave the house. He
admitted TO the captain that he
CERTAINLY DID SELL THE CHAIN TO CoBURN,
though nothing was said about the manner in
which he got possession Of It, Mr.. Bell said that he
was out walking on Sunday last, and subsequently,
entering a place (where not stately where Ooburn
was, the first tng that attracted his attention was
the guard hanging from the lattors person, and he
applied the foi owing day for q warrant, on
which Coburn has been arrested.
Judge Hogan minated that as Clark had corro.
boratcd Coburn in the matter of the sale OF the chain
he could net hold him that charge, but ne would
leave aim In the custody or the Captain until to-day.

CoDurn therefore left the court lii charge oil the
officer, looking not whit worse for the heated

worn out place that nobody would buy was
made the most productive in the neIghor-
hood. So much for corn cobs and brains
