THE ROSS CASE.
An Extraordinary Retribution.

new and most extraordinary disclosure in
regard TO the Charley Ros IS abduction has occur
red in ease which, independent of its connec-
ton with that event, would have been remarka-
bic, the shooting to death of two burglars while
they were attempting to enter house. The
scene of this incident, was Bay Ridge, Long ISL
and, and ex-Judge Ruett Won Bruut is the name
OF the gentleman whose residence was attacked
and whose relatives and nsighbors executed this
summary justice upon the burglars The affair,
however, is chiefly remarkable in that one OF the
criminals whose name is given as Douglass, a.
las Clark, who survived about half an hour, 1.-THE
other, Mosier, was killed instantly stated posi-
lively that it was Mosier, assisted by himself
who abducted Charley Ross but that Mosier had
BIN c. cealed. 1t appears that both ere well
known 10 the police, and that they have been
suspected by the New York and Philadelphia de-
tectives of being concerned in the abduction but
the search until this attempt at burglary proved
nuavailing. IT is also added that according to
the statement OF Douglass his comrade, Moser
lad wife and six children, but whether he had
Charley Ross with them or not he could not tell
II these details of this extraordinary affair are
followed to successful development, it will be a
,
like romance indeed than reality and such as no
one looked for or could possibly have expected
No crime ever perpetra;sd in the United States
has caused such universal and protracted interest
AS the abduction Of little Ross 1t was an unus-
ual crime in this country, and what was more it
came home to every Preside There WAS not n
parent in the land who did not feel that such
might b the fate Of one Of his own children and
whose fears would not be relieved by the conf
dence which the discovery and punishment of the
offenders would give that such crime in this
land cannot escape detection and retribution. -
The death of children would be regarded BIZ A.
rents as light sfliclion compared with tie idea
OF torcloIe bduction, with such possibilities as
II involves of cruel t. eatment, and what is worse
of 6ein brought up to n life Of crime aud shame.
Hence the eagerness with Which the numerous re-
ports, all Of which have hitherto proved f,lla-
cious the discovery of little Charley Ross have
been hailed by the public. II the marvellous reve-
lation now made shall prove true and shall lead
to the recovery Of the lost little boy, the parents
may well cxclaim, This our son was dead aud
is alive again, he was lost ana is fourd D." And
millions Of people il this country will rejoice
with them in MS honest sympathy as human ma
ture ever felt. That the perpetrators Of such a
crime should meet in this world with retributive
determination will be some satisfaction, even il
the boy is never found. BHllips9re Sun
