THE DETECTIVES MAKE RAD--A respecta
ble-looking white man, named Splnosa, caile'
at the Office of Capt Malone. Chief OF Detec
tives yesterday morning, and stated that d
had been inveigled into den at the corner o
Notre Dame and Levee streets, and was in
duced to play little game OF three-oart
monte, better known as call give and NJ
take and was swindled out of $50 currenc.
by the inmates Of the dusky mansion.
The Captain Immediately sent Detective
Pearson, Pecora and Hennessey to hunt thu
thieves up.
| The officers named repaired to the place
| and succeeded in arresting Reuben Baker
James White, alias Baby White, Jake Patter
son and Edward Drake, colored, four noto
rious garroters and thieves. Mr.. Spinosi
identified them as the parties who robbed
him OF his money, and as luck would have II
Reuben Baker had the entire amount on his
person. The affair was reported so quick ano
such prompt action taken by the Captain and
his officers, that the thieves were brought to
grief and the money found before they had
chance to dispose of FIVE cents of their Ill
gotten gains.
A SERVANT MAKES OFF WITH $500. Cur
RENCY-On or about the 23d of December.
1875, the residence of Mr.. 81. Currie, on
Hampton street, between St Charles and
Second streets, was robbed of $500 by some
of the servants employed in the house. Spe-
cial Officers Augustus and Lathigue yesterday
succeeded in arresting woman named La
vinia Hall, who had been employed in the
house.
The woman confessed to having stolen the
money, and returned $410 of the amount
stolen over to Mr.. Currie, who refuses to pros
ecute. The thief is still held in custody by
the officers making the arrest, who are de-
termined to see the law have its course. 1t
is strange thing that when the parties who
have been robbed recover their property or a
portion of it, they refuse to prosecute, and in
that way large numbers OF criminals are set
at liberty to renew their kleptomanical pro-
pensities on other victims.
