pounds or more-enough to convince
them that the negroes named were in
every way worthy of arrest, and took

Eugene Hall, another darby and no
torious thief, better known among his
pals as Honey Hall, yesterday thought
he would raise stake . by the pocket
book grab-game, and did SO by snatching
from the pocket of a countryman book
containing $26. The victim gave chase
and Honey was captured, not, however,
before he had thrown the money away to
escape conviction. When first caught
he showed fight, but was pacifed by the
appearance Of shining knife until a
policeman took him in charge. For all
this trouble Honey went to Jail to waste
his sweetness until the Grand Jury as
sembles. when he may have an oppor-
tuniiy to.serve out previous sentence OF
four years. We omitted to mention that
wheasin the station.house this morning
he was telling his exploit to a pal in the
slang talk, and was overheard by turnkey
Tom Garvey, who having perfected him
self in that as well as the Modoc lau-
guage, was put upon the witness stand,
