Cautions to Grand Juries In Preparing
Their Indiotmo nts-ImpOr Question
Touching forfeiture OF Bail.
Before Judge Brady.
This Court met ut the usual hour yesterday
Judge Brady on the benoh-but there was very
little done.
John McAulcy was called up for trial, the charge
against him being pocket-picking on city car.
The story is that Patrick Casey, boy in the en-
ploy OF Mr.. Lyons, had been sent to get check for
$50 cashed, and, having the money in his posses
sion, got on an Eighth avenue car. IL was the
OLD platform crowding dodge. Missing his money,
he pursued McAuiey, who got or the car, and
e1'ected his capture. In the Indictment the money
was set forth as the property OF the boy Casey in
stead OF Mr.. Lyons, his employer. Upon this vari.
ance the discharge of the prisoner was urged and
granted. Immediately afterwards the papers were
sent to the Grand Jury for correction, 50 tba0t IS
altogether probable that the accused will not, If
proven guilty, go unwhipped Of Justice.
John Brown was next called up Tor trial on
charge of burglary. 1t turned out that in this
case an error had also been made In the indct-
ment in wrongly specifying the owner OF the build
ing. The prisoners counsel said, however, that
he had COED defence and would not take advan-
tage Of this variance II the trial should be ad-
j0urned a day to enable him to secure the attend
ance OF his witnesses. An adjournment OF The
trial was accordingly ordered till this morning.
The bail in the case OF Evenstein, indicted for
burglary, larceny and receiving stolen goods, was
declared forfeited Colonel Spencer said he should
contest the forfeiture OF the bail the ground OF
want Of jurisdiction in the court, fnasmuch az the
accused had pleaded to the indictment In the Court
OF General Sessions

A VILE MURDER.

Langst0n Confesses to the Assassination
OF an Old Lady and . Little Girl In
Paradise, ILL.,, for Revenge and Roh-
berry.
CHICAGO, H., March 20. 1873
William 8. Langston, son of the old lady who,
with the little girl Mary Eastern living with her,
was found murdered in her bed recently near
Paradise Coles county, ILL.,, has confessed to killing
both parties, and accuses his wife an accessory.
Langston is In jail waiting trial. The only motive
he assigns for the crime Is the insrgation and per-
suason OF his wife, who never had pleasant feel
lngs towards the old lady, In addition to this It ID
probable that LangstOn and his wife were some
lady's property. There is very strong feeling
against a the murderer in the neighborhood where
moved by officers he probably would have received

months rent was paid, but on their trying to col
lect for the next month the machine was missing,
