AN UNFOUNDED CHARGE.

A Respectable and Wealthy German
Lady Arrested n Pickp0ckct-Thc
Charge PercmptOrily Dismissed.
Mrs. Emma Reiner is most respectable German
lady, resident Of Springfield, ILL.,, where her hus
band, a wealthy gentleman, keeps very select
hotel. Mrs. Reiner came to this city on VISIT in
company with q stupid-looking Tuetonic maiden
named Baer Previous to coming to this city they
travelled together from Springfield to Chicago, anu
subsequently from the former place to this city.
During the trip Mrs. Reiner treated her companion
with all imaginable Kindness, paying many ex-
penses incidental to the journey and in many other
ways showing consideration and regard for the
complainant. Both ladies went to tire house Of
compartments uncle in West Forty-ninth street. 1t
must be stated that
WHILE MISS BAER WAS IN SPRINGFIELD
the prisoner took charge OF all her valuables and
money which were duly returned Mrs. Reincr's
purpose in coming to New York was to take pas
sage for Europe, she having purchased passage by
the steamer which is announced to leave this port
to-day. On the 18th Of the present month the
two ladies', with young lady, cousin OF com
painant, went to see the circus at the old Empire
Rink and remained there until about ten o'clock
the same evening. While ON the way home conf
painant
THOUGHT SHE FELT HAND
In her pocket, and Immediately after discovered her
pocketbook, containing S74 in srcenbacks, was
missing. Complainant told her cousin that she I'M
agined she felt Mrs. Rciner's hand In her pocket,
and she suspected II was she VINO TOOK the money.
Nothing said further until two days after, when
Mrs. Reiner was arrested, charged with the theft.
There was great crown al the INK on the night OF
the 18Th inst.
Mr.. Howe was at once retained by friend OF
Mrs. Reiner's, who was very indignant &c the
HUMILIATlNG SITUATION
In which she was placed, and the counsellor at
once had the papers placed before the Grand Jury
for immediate action, as Justice demanded that u
prompt investigation should be had In order to
clear the defendant from the Infamous aspersion
cast upon her by charge OF such atrocty preferred
by the complainant. The case came up Tor trial at
the General Sessions, before Judge Cunning $. Bed
ford yesterday morning. Mr.. Howe zeal0usly de-
Tended the accused and freely vented lis
INDIGNATION U8#
at the dastardly charge made against the lady, who
moved in high social circles In Springfield. There
was not the least doubt but what the charge was a
most aggravatng one and totally unjust and an
insult to the lady who was compelled 10 appear as
defendant.
MRS. Rener was placed on the stand and had
spoken hut a few words when Judge Bedford, with
That acute perception which forms
A DISTINGUISHING TRAIT
In his character, at once saw the absrtdty OF the
charge and informed the jury they mist acqut.
Mrs Rener was escorted from the Court by quite a
concQursc of eymuathiZinQ strangers. u
