General Notes.
The most famous swind1ers in the great North
west were yesterday consigned to those peaceful
shades whore the wicked cease from troubling
and the thieves are made to rest, namely, the
County Jail, there to await the sentence Of the
Criminal Court; being yesterday found guilty,
by 3 jury Of twelve men and true, Of swind1ing,
after unheard Of efforts On tho part of counsel,
after the attempted subornation Of Witnesses,
and frustrated treaty to bribe parties whose
evidence WAS material to tho prosecution. The
evidence showed that tho priaoners
were in the habit Of advertising
businesses, partnerships, and SO forth, produc-
ing fraudulent accounts, statements, aud books,
to show state of affairs which the truth did not
warrant, and thus inducing parties to make
heavy Investments, which, Of course, turned out
SO much value thrown into Lake Michigan.
Numberless times did the trick succeed; vain
we're all efforts to have them convicted. They
haro probably accumulated q large sum Of
money by ther, swindling; they have been IN
everfound against them could be carried through
to tho end, and they have walked the
land. as secure and unmolested: as the most
honest. although distrusted By every one who
cutor was Andrew Bennett, and although at one
time he seemed to hare disappeared, and the
prosecution to have again come to an end, yet
the right kind: Of evidence was obtained the
soon brought in a verdict finding the defendants
guilty on all the counts Of the Indictment. Such
q sensation has not been produced among the
police, detectives, and legal circles, since the
murder Of Policeman O'Meara. The counsel for
the defendants, immediately approached
the bench, and conferred for long
time with His Honor in low tone
Of voice, and the conference was ut
longth interrupted by His Honor calling out that
his self-reepect, nd'regard for his place on the
considerations as were being offered to him, and
that he should treat this case just as be would
any other he should sentence the prisoners at
the usual time md meanwhile they should go
to jail. A little bird has whispered to the law
reporter that the lawyers were urging His Honor
to let the thieves of with an hour or 30 Of i'm
prisonment in consideration Of their families,
and their being in 'slegitinate" =" way
Of business, making it by q heavier fine;
but they showed most remarkable ignorance
Of the determined and eminently legal mind Of
Judge Rogers when they 80 approached him;
he Indignantly refused The fine ia 9100, and
months. The punishment is slight, but it is
punishment, and tbs evil charm which seems to
have protected the rasca1s is ef7ectually broken

We're it not that gentlemen Who are painted
b1ecker than Bee]zebub in the bill Of complaint
frequently turn out in the answer to be whiter
and purer and fairer than the whitest and
purest and fairest lilies, one would consider
brother James Dennen, the Treasurer Of the
fraternal and united order Of American Brick
layers (called American, by-the-bye, because
the members are principally foreigners) con-
summate villain and scoundrel. He is charged
with having appropriated to his OWL use 3972.87

in his own name in the Mechanics Building
Association, and with having acknowledged that
he stole the money, and neither would nor could
give it up. As the entire moneys in the bands
81, 400, this 5000 is too large slice to be let
slide; wherefore, an action in the Circuit Court
and q little capias ad respondendem.
