A GANG OFBURGLARSSENTENCED
-Four Bad Men arhO oNH GO to Sing Sing
for TwenIy Years Each.

The trials of Patrick Boyle, George Will
son; William Roberts, and Martha Nc
Gowan, for robbing Louis Billions jew
elry store in Hicks street, Brooklyn, on
the evening of March I3, were concluded
Friday in Brooklyn. Mrs. Billion was
sitting in her husbands store when Boyle
and Wilson entered and asked to see a
clock. Mr.. Billion was called, and he
went to the back part of the store to get
the clock, and when he had reached one
down from the wall and turned aroused
he saw pistol levelled at his head. Will
son said to him, "Ifyou say word I'll
blow your brains out" Boyle had a pls-
tol at Mrs Billions head, and one OF the
two others, who had stoodin the doorway
with drawn pistols, was reaching into the
show case where the seal rings we're. Mr..
Billion clutched Wilson, who hammered
him with the but end of revolver Bill.
lon rushed Wilson back into the hall, and
showed him against the vestibule door,
smashing the glass Boyle knocked Mrs
Billion down, and then all of them scam
pered away. They took one tray OF rings
worth $3.50, Capt. Allaire found two
of the men in "The Burnt Rag, in New
York. and when these were taken to the
Tombs for examination. Mr.. and Mrs.
Billion, who were on their way thlther as
witnesses, picked out the other two from
the crowd about the building. They de-
manded separate trials, and were each
convicted. Just after the jury in Nc
Gowan's case had returned verdict of
guilty, Roberts, who had been sitting IN
Side Of the prisoners rail with Patrolman
Wade of the Mulberry street police, aro-
Sc, walked out of the gate, and was cool
ly making his way out of the court room,
when officer Mcmahon collared him.
Arraigned for sentence, each one said
that he had never been in prison, and
declared his innocence. Roberts and Nc
Gowan swore that they were in Philadel-
phia at the time. Judge Moore said that
he had never been called upon to try
more atrocious case. He knew the prlSo-
ners to be the most daring thieves in the
business. Every one of them, he said,
had been in prison once or twice; one
was shot in an attempt to escape from
prison, and one Roberts was concerned
in burglary and an attempted murder
in Brooklyn, for which his accompiice
[John McAlpine was sentenced to thirty
years in Sing Sing prison. They would
not have stopped short ofmurder in this
case if they had thought that Billion could
have identified them so well. Judge
Moore then sentenced them to twenty
years each in the prison at Sing Sing

Ex-JUDGE BARTLEY is not the man to
rest quietly under the denial of Suit to the
Judges statement in regard to Bristow
and Suit. Mr.. Suit would make Judge
BARLEY out falsifer, but Mr.. BARLEY
demands another hearing before the In
vestigating Committee. In published
card he says:
First-The records of the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia, of June
27, 1867, show that the said S. 7. Suit was
indicted for larceny, which he succeeded
in compromising by paying large sum
of money.
Second-The records of the Treasury
Department in 1859, secret service diyis-
ion, will show his arrest after having
been fugitive from justice in Canada
for Illicit whisky transactions, and that
he admitted his completely in these acts,
and compromised his offence by the pay
ment of large amount of money to the
Treasury Department. There are also
other charges ofa disreputable character
against Suit that are not necessary to be
detailed at this time.
Thirds. T. Suit swore to what was
not true when he stated that he had not
been engaged in whisky distilleries or
whisky transactions for twenty years, a
list of witnesses will be furnished the
committee. who will testify that he (Suit)
plofessed publicly in 1869, and for sew
eral years aiterward, to be largely inter
esled as a partner in a large whisky dis-
tillery in Louisville, KY, and that he was
engaged in other whisky transac-
tions, notably his public advertisement
of corner in whisky, which was sent
throughout the country by the agents of
the Associated Press at Louisville for a
consideration.

Obligation, either to the nominal holder
of the one before him, or to any person
else. Yet he could not deny that the
handwriting of the presented bill was his
own; it was certainly his signature.
Nevertheless, in the consciousness that
he really owed no such debt, he refused
payment. Immediately afterwards, ne
went to consult an acute legal friend.
After relating the circumstance to that
gentleman, and repeating his confident
assurance that he never signed, to his
knowledge, the obligation in question,
though unqnestonably his signature was
there, the lawyer asked if he never, while
in Germany, signed any paper without
knowing its contents. The baron thought
for an instant, anC blushed for his folly.
The remembrance of his strange visitant
came across his mind with all the attend
ant circumstances. He compelled him
self to tell his legal friend the whole
affair.
The acute lawyer saw through the mys-
tery at once. The baron had been ugly
at Vienna, he was ugly at Paris, and he
had nel er been aught but ugly any
where. The handsome cousin had so
suborned his Gomestics as to acquire
knowledge of every movement, even OF
every word of the baron, in his own es-
tablishment; and being near the spot,
perhaps in the house, on the evening OF
the baron's rash ejaculation respecting
change of personal appearance, he had
taken advantage Of the circumstance
when it was reported to him, to victim
ize De Cormann in a double and truly
diabolical way. By the connivance OF
the treacherous servants, and one or two
other persons, Mademo.selle de Relsch-
berg included, the poor baron had been
thoroughly imposed upon, and, in some
respects, he was not undeserVlng OF IT,
seeing that he Credulously consented to
attempt success in his suit by such means
as those described. The conspirator Of
cousin, it is probable, imagined that
the baron would pay the sum rather than
incur the ridicule of full disclosure.
The affair, says our French authority,
came to trial. and celebrated Partisan
advocate was engaged for the baron, the
note for 10000 francs being lodged, in
the interval, in the safe hands Of Messrs'
Rolhschild. We regret that we have
heard nothing of the issue of the case,
and can only hope that the law prevent
ed the poor credulous baron from being
ultimately trcked out of his money, by
the INSCRIPTIONS yourg lady and her
cousin. Tue moral seems to be-never
sign any document of whose purport you
are not fully acquainted.

PHILADELPHIA LEDGER: Confiding,
ignorant of the ways of hypocritical
demagogues, almost helpless as the en-
franchised slaves were at the close Of the
war, there were consciencless scoundres
pretending to be their peculiar friends,
who robbed them by means of the
"Freedmen's Bank" They robbed others,
but their basest crime was the robbery
of the savings of the liberated slaves.
The testimony just reported on this sub
ject is disgraceful to the country and to
the age. 1t Deems that but little of the
millions of money deposited will ever be
got out of the assets-more than half
of it is out Of mortal reach, but are the
rascals who robbed them out Of reach
