Horse and Buggy stolen-on Fridav

Horse and Buggy StOIen,-On Friday
night last horse and buggy belonging to
Father Jas. Cunningham was stolen from
the stable attached 10 the premises of the
Catholic Church, in this place. The loss was
not discovered until Saturday afternoon, when
kilograms were sent to Baltimore, Frederick
and Washington, and an answer soon came
from Baltimore saying that the thieves had
been arrested and the property recovered in
that city. Sheriff Clements Immediately start
ed for Baltimore, aud on Sunday evening
arrived here with the two prisoners, who
were lodged in Jail
The men are Of low statue and were re-
Specially dressed. They do not deny having
the horse and buggy, but claim that they
bought them from man on the street in this
place for ten dollars. This is rather an old
dodge in this Court, however, and will not
be likely to go far with jury.
The following account of the arrest is given
| by the Baltimore Sunday News:
yesterday Officer CLANCY of the Southern
district, heard that two men were trying to
dispose of a horse, buggy and harness at a
sales-stables on South Pacca street. The price
asked for The whole rig sac, was so ridcu
lousy low that Officer CLANCY shrewdy
suspected that they had not come into the
possession OF the property by honest means
and arrested them on suspicion. At the Sta
ton house they gave their names as Charles
Fourner and Grand Del Bar but failed to
account satisfactorily how they became pos
sessed o. the turnout.
In the course of the afternoon Deputy
Marshal Frey visited The station house and after
a short interview with Fourier asceriained
that the men arrived IN the city yesterday
morning from Rockvi Montgomery county
Teegraphic communication was opened with
| that place, when il was ascertained that the
horse and buggy had been stolen on Friday
night, and that they were the property of the
Rev. Father James A. Cunningham, of ST.
Mary's Church, Rockville. Last night Sheriff
Clements, of Montgomery county, arrived in
this city with letter to Marshal GRAY, from
States Attorney Spencer G Jones, giving a
description of the stolen property, with re-
quest that the thieves be sent to Rockville, to
be dealt with according 10 law. Fourier
and Del Bar, who did not attempt to deny
their guilt, were delivered 10 the custody of
Sheriff Clements, who will start with them
/ for Rockville this morning"
