Jury.

Jury.
For some time detective Cranmer has
been in search of a thief who stole three
bales of cotton from the plantation of
Mr.. Armstrong, twelve miles below the
city on the river. The cotton was
brought up on a steamboat, and was
marked Tom Woods. 1t now turns oat
that the cotton was stolen by young
Woods, alias Hall, alias Blakely, the vii
lain who assisted in the robbery of ex.
press messenger Brady. Woods sold
the three bales Of cotton to Messrs.
Cochran 4 Cirode, on Front street,
and with the proceeds, one hundred and
slxty-eight dollars, paid the months rent
on the basement office No. Is Madison
street, where the robbery was commit
ted. Woods has confessed the crime
and was identified by Messrs. Cochran &
Cirode as the mar who sold the cotton.
1t now turns out that Woods is a hard.
eued criminal, one who would commit
any act of robbery or bloodshed. To:
day Chief Athy had photographs taken
of both Woods and the negro Henry
Johnson for his album known as the
Rogues Gallery.
This afternoon both Woods and John.
son were indicted by the grand jury of
the Criminal Court, and will soon be
brought to justice on the charges of rob.
berry from the person and assault and
battery with intent to commit murder.
The penalty for the first offense is death,
under the laws of Tennessee, and should
the entire gang be disposed of in this
manner society would not lose anything,
but would be relieved Of the presence of
FIVE notorious criminals.
