Kinch Malone and Patrick Jones Are
Placed Under $1,000 BOnds-Malone
Makes His Escape. But is Captured.

Yesterday Kinch Malone and his chum
Patrick Jones, were brought before tn
Second an. p" Court, presided over by
Judge Staes, on charge Of burglary, on tn
18th of this month. After hearing the evi
dence, the prisoners were placed under 5000
bonds, each, to appear before the Crlmlna
Court, and were then replaced in the docl
in the court room. All went on quietly, and
after the court had adjourned, kinch Malone
was called from the dock to enter the "Black
Maria" and take a ride to the
PARISH PRISON.
Rut Kinch dreaded the consequence OF
appearing before Atocha, an as ne got IL
the middle of the court room he made a
desperate break. and with one bound was
over the ratings, and for the time made
HIS ESCAPE.
Officer Hardin, who was in charge, gave
immediate chase to the escaped burg lar, who
beat hasty retreat down Dumaine street
with Hardin close in the rear; but Malone
was running for freedom, and soon left the
officer far in the rear, but Hardin kept his
eve upon him and perceived that Kinch
lodged into coffee house, Oh the corner OF
Dumaine and Decatur streets, and was lost
to the sight of the officer, who coming up
searched the cotfee-hOuse and three Other
buildings adjoining, but with no success, as
Malone was no where TO be found. Strict
watch was kept all day in the neghborhood
until last evening, when Malone was
RECAPTURED
by officer Murphy, of the Third Precinct,
at 1850 last evening, on Dumaine near New
Levee streets. The capture of kinch Ma
lone has caused Kellogg to become jnbilant,
as he thought that his pet Kinch was to him
forever lost, and that the position of Admin
traitor of Police would have to be given to
some other rapscallion," as Kinch would

"Amor 0mnia Vincit.''
A Young Lady Enticed from Her Parents
Her Lover PrOcures a License to
Marry, but is Intercepted by Her
Father-A Contempt Of Court.
Yesterday afternoon, Young man named
Philip Hammer, residing in the Sixth Dis
trict, appeared before the Hon. j. w. Falls,
Seventh Justice of the Peace, al 4 without
difficulty or complying with the usual
formalities of law, obtained a license direct
ed to the Rev. Father Lutt, of the German
Church, to join in the holy bonds Of matri
mony the said Philip Hammer and Miss
Catherine Myer a charming young lady
only 16 years of age.
It appears that the license was obtained
without the consent or knowledge Of the
parents of the young lady, who were OPP
posed to the marriage, and the justice of the
peace, without any proof of their consent, as
the law requires, to be furnished to the Off
Ger to whom the application for permission
to marry is made. Squire Falls is not in the
habit of requiring proof of this fact, but
usually gets the party applying to furnish
bond. in favor of the State Of Louisiana,
that no impediments exist to the contem-
plated marriage. The attention of the JUS
tice of the peace being called to the lille
gality of the license granted by him, he imme-
diately issued an order revoking the said Ii
cense, and directing the young man to APP
pear instanter before the justice, to show
cause why he should not return the said Ii
cense, and, in default, why he should not be
punished for contempt; the said license hav-
ing been granted through error and on false
and instructed in time not to perform the
ceremony. The disappointed young man
was brought before the Justice, accompanied
by his attorney. The father of the young
lady secures also the services of counsel.
The young man was called upon the stand,
but declined to- obey the order of the Court,
)r to answer any question. He defied the
Court to force him to do SO; his counsel
Oined and encouraged him in his retiscence.
The prosecuting attorney asked that the
yonDg man. as well as his counsel, be pun
shed for contempt. A discussion ensued,
Turing which the young man picked up his
lat and disappeared, in greater contempt of
he Court. The Judge, not being disposed
o press the matter of contempt to an issue,
concluded to continue the case until to-day
It p. NJ. Just at this time a police officer
ION the Fourth Municipal Police Court
made his appearance, with warrant in
hese words:
Whereas complaint has been made on the
ath of one Philip Myers, before me, A. B.
filler, Judge of the Fourth Municipal Po-
ice Court, that Catherine Myers, aged l6
ears, daughter Of affiant, is a juvenile va
rant; that she has LEFT, her domicil, without |
he consent of affiant and concealed herself |
1to house located on Magazine street,
etween Harmony and Pleasant streets;
hese are, therefore, to authorize and require
on, with necessary and proper assistance,
D enter into the said house or any house
here she may be, and diligently search for
lid Catherine Meyer, and if she be found |
pom such search, that you bring the said
atherine Myer so found, before me, to
nswer to the complaint and be disposed of
ccording to law, and for SO doing this will
Q your warrant.
A. B. MILLER,
Judge Fourth Municipal Police Court.
The young man is determined to get mar
ed, and the father of the girl is also deter
lined to prevent him. He expects to apply |
lis morning for an injunction not only to
ljoin the young man from getting married,
Mt also to restrain all Justices Of the I
eace or other persons authorized to grant
arriage Licenses in the Parish of Orleans,
ON performing the ceremony Of marriage.
