FIGHTING FOR HIS LIBERrY-Detective
Yesterday were made aware that Harry
Clifford, believed to be felon, from Mis-
souri, was hiding in a house on Girod not
far from st. Charles street. A dash was
made to capture the fellow, and he was
taken in. When at police headquarters he
was closely questioned, aud it was cor
cluded to have his picture taken for the
rogues' gallery. Detective Walsh was de-
tailed to take Clifford to Ciarke's photo.

way down, and when at the corner of Per
dido and Carondelet streets, the accused
either slipped or broke his handouts and
struck Walsh q severe blow, knocking him
down, after which he kicked him, from the
effects of which Walsh was compelled to
retire to his bed Clifford made dash for

DESERVING OF SEVERE PUNISHMENT.

DESERVING OF SEVERE PUNISHMENT
Martha Thompson, hard worker and a
deserving woman, residing on Freret street,
generally employed by Major Robert Strong,
owned valuable COW which assisted her
in obtaining a livelihood. The major, two
wears ago, advanced SIPS to purchase the
animal, and the investment proved good
one. Some of the poor woman's neighbors
were envious of her possession, yet rejOiced
in q manner at her good fortune. However,
q fellow usually called Old Church, known
as q roysterer, determined to have the COW.
and on several occasions meaDly impounded
it, putting the owner to trouble and ex
pense. He said he was determined to
have the COW by hook or by crook,
but found that it was q job
which he could not accomplish, so, in
the lowest kind of spite, planned to kill the
beast, and as she died several days ago
those acquainted with the circumstance
believe that Church is the author of her
death. The COW was cut open for the pur.
pose of ascertaining the cause of her de-
mise. Inside were found nails, tacks and
broken glass in sufficient quantity to kill
half dozen horses. 1t is surmised that
these articles were administered by the
man, who must have. on different occasions.
placed them inside of apples, balls of bread
and such things. The facts are in the pos
session of a detective, and it is hoped he
will be able to successfully bring the perpe-
traitor to justice. Six years in the peniten-
tiary would be good dose.

a year ago posted a small red card back OF
his desk, On which was printed:

The lines are suggestive, and not far from
the truth, but what use is it for man who

to post the above warningl When the ma

such precauton, he smiled sickly smile,

A HrGu TONED DEFAULrER.-A young
man, who was recently confidential book
keeper for firm of commission merchants
on Magazine street, took advantage of his
position and proved to be unworthy Of the
trust reposed in him, according to an affi
davit filed before Judge Evans yesterday.
ThatdOcument asserts that the young man
is defaulter for the sum of something like
SIS 900. 1t seems that he has been suspected
and watched for weeks past, and it is
probable that he must have understood
that his accounts we're undergoing a super.
vision, as he departed early yesterday
morning without even saying farewell to
the apple of his eye. Having none Of the
cunning of common thief. he took a route
along which is telegraph line, and on
reaching Brashear at noon yesterday an
officer stood ready to pounce on him, and
he WAS bounced. Mr.. A A. Bourgeois.
marshal OF Brashear, tackled the young
man and teiegraphed to this city that he
had the cratic youth and would hold him
until an officer arrived from New Orleans.

ACCIDENTAL DEATH.-Our readers have
been informed OF the circumstances attend
ing the wounding of John Bournes, milk
man, who accidentiy shot himself last week.
He was ut supper last Wednesday evening.
and hearing "a noise in his yard, concluded
that thieves were stealing vegetables out OF
his garden. He took an old fashioned pistol
and started toward the lear Of his yard,
but had gone only q few feet when lie fell
and shot himself. The bullet entered his
chin, passed up through his tongue,
went out of his forehead, through
the house roof and rolled down into
the yard, where it was found by his
brother on the following morning. He was
not an able-bodied man, and in passing out
where there was no light probably STUN bled
against something and fell, undoubtedly
holding the pistol in his hand, ready to fire.
la falling, his right hand was up and his
finger on the trigger of the weapon, and
it must have been that when he fell he put
out his right hand to save himself, but with
an unfortunate result. Deputy Coroner
Parmelee held an inquest. and the jury
found that death was caused by an acci-
dent
PREPARING FOR HIGH WHARF.-THE De-
partment of improvements has taken
timely precaution to secure our levees in
several very weak places, especially at
Carrollton, the head of Poland street, at
the Convent and at E.mira street. OppO-
site Sorapuru NJ arket. where the river has
cut away every vestige of roadway, the
levee has taken it's place, and is to-day
quite as strong rs need be. At the local.
ties mentioned Assistant Surveyor Brown
has caused to be constructed bnlkheads go
strong that he thinks the work will stand
at least five years, no matter what the
pressure. =
Inn H. nall hovr-
pens that the reporters wish to see docu-
lnents in the several courts and other public
places, and they do not always succeed in
obtaining the information they desire.
Yesterday our reporter visited one of the
recorders courts and requested the use OF
an affidavit which he heard had been made
but the clerk innocently announced that
the prosecutor had left particular directions
that the press should not be allowed to see
the paper. Our reporter was at that time
quite well aware of the circumstances,
but desired to have confirmation
of what he had heard outside by
reading the sworn affidavit, and natu-
rally he was greatly surprised that prose
cutor could control any document before
the court. As Judge Evans was very busy
at the time nothing was said to him. just
hero let liz inform clerks of courts and all
other such officials that their records are
not private property, and are not to be
under the dctation OF prosecutor or prose,
cuted In certain cases there Is actual |
necessity for privacy, but when response.
BILE reporter is informed that such is the |
case ne will doubtless forget that he re- |
members anything connected with the |
matter.

est thereon from November liz, 1867. They
aver that said defendants were their agents,
and as such received sums of money at diff
ferent times amounting in all to about
E3S, OOO to pay duty Oh freight, expenses,
etc. on consignments of ties and machinery
belonging to petitioners firm; that the sum
claimed remained in defendants hands,
and that they refuse to account for and
paw it. The answer is first general de-
NAL, and discharge in bankruptcy on the
part of H. II. Bryan, dated March 9, 1869;
d. A. e. II. +. Given, answering, adopt all
the allegations of their cO-detendant Bryan,
and all pray to be hence dismissed, with
costs. Much evidence was taken, which l
think amounts to a veritcation of plaintiffs
material allegations, and proof Of the I'M
paid balance as claimed. As to the dis
charge in bankruptcy, am unable to sus-
tain the plea. Tue defendants were clearly
the agents of the plaintiffs, and were their
fiducaries. The sum they owe is due by
virtue Of that agency, and the fact that
plaintiffs demand five per cent int rest on
it from the time alleged does not and
can not affect or change their relations.
Under our law all sums draw interest
from the time they become due, at the rate
of five per cent, where no other is stipu
lated. The silent operation of the law IT.
self in allowing this interest can never be
so interpreted as to abolish and destroy the
legal remedies and rights of a principal
against a tiduciary debtor. Counsel for
plaintiffs has favored the court with a terse,
cogent and unusually well digested brief of
pertinent elucidative authorities from diff
ferent judicial sources, which think con-
elusive. and upon which feel warranted in
giving his clients judgment as prayed tor,

a kind of quiet common sense, comes by and

the rule with regard to the growth of intel
