ASSAULT AND ROBBERY Justices White
and May of the city, and Wright of the county,
met at the Mayors office this morning, and ex-
anincd Mills Stacey and Charles Marley, col
orcd men, charged with assaulting and robbing
an old mikmau named Frank Mckenney, at
his house on the Washington turnpike just be-
yond the canal basin late last Sunday night.
Stacey was arrested on the night of the perpe
tration of the crime and committed to Jail to
await the result of Mr. McKenney's wounds,
which were then thought to be serious, but
Marley escaped arrest until last night, when
he was recognized by two of the city police
and locked up IN the station house. The pur
port of the evidence as cleciteda at the eXamina-
ton. was that the prisoners knew that Mcken
ucy had sold cow and had the money he had
received for her in his house; that short time
before the commission of the crime Stacey had
entered the old mans house with the avowed
purpose Of making inquiries about depositing
money in the Savings Bank, but that when he
left he removed the key from the front door
and took it with him; that Mckenney's wife,
who does not live with him, but 10 an adjoin-
ing house, saw the two prisoners lurking about
her husbands house, and pceping in through
his windows and thinking they were after no
good, called to him to be upon his guard; that
the old man had gotten out his revolver aud
had concealed u ten dollar note in a chink of
the window; that he was sitting in chair on.
which the pistol was also lying when the prise:
ucrs entered his house, seized the pistol before
he could lay his hands on it, beat him severly
on the head with it, he doing the best he could
to protect his head with his arm which was
badly hurt, and leaving him PROSTATE; had
gone off taking with them the ten dollar bill,
which they must have seen him conceal, and
which was all the money they could find about
the premises They were fully committed to
answer the charge at the December term OF
the County Court, and the following named
witnesses recognized to appear at the trial =
Frank Mckenney, Mary Mckeuuey, police
