Fsg Mrs. u, testified that she resided. at
No. 4, l59 State street, in the rear OF
the drug store owned by her husband.
| On the n sghf of the 1Itli inst, she and
her hueband retired at about II
fo'cleek. Sometime afterward she was

4 room by crawling through the trans

and going to the front door, opened

Mr. Updegraff, while the question
ing had been going forward, had
slowly edged himself from the bed,
which the fellow observing, thrust
the mazzle of the revolver little
nearer his head, and told him to keep
quiet. Mr.. Updegraff told him he
would do nothing of the kind, and
sprang upon him, both falling TO the
floor. A tussle ensued which was
kept up for several seconds, when the
fellow got the best of it and threw
MIR. Updegraff into the corner of the
room. Upon being called by his COM
panion, who, in the meantime, had de-
ilibefately secured all the booty to be
obtained, he started away, and both
made their escape through the rear
door. He had had ample opportuni-
ty to see the fellows, and could posi-
lively identify White as the man who
ransackedl the room. He had seen
him in his store on several occasions.
He had been in the place q number
of times to purchase cigars.
