A Matter OF MYSTERY. The attention OF
Poiice-Justlce White has for large portion
of two DAYS been occupied in bearing the
ca-e Of James Harris and Charley Welsh,
charged with breaking and entering the
house OF Albert Parker (coloredJ and taking
away several articles of small value. Since
the prosecution was commenced the main
witnesses have told contradictory stories,
and tits now Il matter of doubt whether any.
thing they say can be regarded as reliable.
1t is, however, certain that robbery was
committed. Welsh was allowed TO visit Par
ker's room whenever he wished, and went
there two or three times in company with
Harris, and on one occasion a par Of shoes
were taken away, and on another clock,
counterpane, and one or two other articles.
Parker laid the blame on HarrS-not on
Welsh.
The Police Justice considered the evidence
against Welsh so slight that he released him
on his own recogusance to appear this morn
ing. Harris was required TO give $500 bail
for his appearance, and his brother under
took for him.
The clock stolen from the room Of Parker
is said TO have been seen at the house OF Ma.

reputation, vino was before the Police Justice
