Brown Turning states ENideuce-Tweptv-
seven Indictments Against Johnston and
Fourteen Against Yates.
Joseph j. Yates and james w. Johnston,
who have been under arrest for a week for com
picity in passing forged bonds OF the Buffalo,
New York and Erie Railroad, were taken before
Justice Fancher yesterday ON a writ OF habeas
corpus. Ex-Mayor Hall appeared for Johnston.
The Grand JurS presented an indictment against
each prisoner for having the counterfeit bonds
in possession with intent to dispose Of the
same.
Ex-Mayor Hall asked that no mittimus be
issued on the indictments. He understood that
a number more were to be presented against
them, all substantially for the same offence, and
he contended, the only distinction being that
they were on different bonds, that no harm
could arise fr1m suspending action 10y the Court
upon the fret indictments. The defendants
had a constitutional right to be confronted with
the witnesses against them. and the facts ought
first To be developed ia examination before an
inferior IN tglstrate. Assistant District Attur-
ney Lyoa said that there were thirteen more
indictments against one, and twenty-siN more
against the other of the persons arrested, all
ordered, aud not presented to-day because there
were not clerks enough in the District Attur-

ALLEEsviLLE, D. Aug. 26, 1873.
Our village this morning was
the scene Of considerable ex
citement occasloned by a pair
of horses attached to a two
horse carriage entering town
from toward Macarthur at full
speed. 1t was immediate.
ly seen that there was no drlv.
er and the carriage and horses
literally covered with mud -
Our citizens at once used their
best Efforts to impede the prog
ress of the frightened horses
and before they reached the
western boundary of town they
were compelled to halt, when
some OF our citizens at once
recognized the rig as belong
ing to Mr.. Fox, of Hamden.-
AT once two of our citizens
leaped, into the carriage max
ing the runaway team cover
their tracks made in their
flight. When a half mile east
OF town they found something
in the shape of a man lying in
the road in a beastly state of
intOxication, with his broad
cloth all saturated IN mud and
filthy water. When the un .or-
lunate creature was taken into
the carriage from which he had
fallen, and brought to the Farm
ers Hotel where the frightened
team and the inebriated, un
fortunate creature was fitly
cared for, by the landlord pro
fusely administering the vir-
Tue OF Divines linameni, and
after the latter had lain in this
state Tor eight hours, and ma
Iure had gained It's supremacy
it was asccertained that our ua
fortunate guest was a represen-
tatlve of the house Of Ander-
son & Co., Cincinnati. OK
