Yesterday afternoon, about ono o'clock, a
coored man entered the junk shop of Levi
McCabe, Eleventh, between I aud X streets,
with lot of old iron to sell. While McCabe
was busy with another customer he took
number of pieces of McCabe's iron and mixed
it with his and tried to sell the whole to Nc.
Cabc. McCabe recognized his iron and re-
fused to buy it, and sent to the Sixth Precinct
Station for policeman. In the meantime
tho thief made his escape, and while going up
the street stole two bags of rags out of rag
cart, which the owner, John Johnson, had left
for few minutes. Another ragman saw the
theft and gave chase, and soon succeeded in
overhauling the thief. Sergeant Amiss APP
peared upon the scene and marched the thief
to the Sixth Precinct Station, where he gave
his name as John Smith. He was locked up
to await an interview with Judge Smell to- day.

valued at over $4,000, according to his own
statements.
Mr.. II. j. Mcigs, ir., assistant clerk OF the
Supreme Court of the District, was the first
witness called by the prosecution. 10 pre-.
sentcd the petition of Marsh and other papers,
applying for writ Of habcrs corpus, in which
the alleged perjury was committed.
Counsel for defense objected to tho prcsenta-
ton Of the petition, As some Of the papers in
tho case had not been brought. Tho court
ovCrruled the objection and the petition was
received aud read.
Mr., J. y. Callan. the notary public before
whom Mr.. Marsh signed the petition, testified
TO making the instrument.
Colonel Webster, Register of Wills was
called, aud submitted official exhibits flcd in

Mr.. sias st. John the next witness, testified
that he had known Marsh since ISL. The de-
PENDANT ut that time was President of the Fed
eral Insurance Company. Witness was an en-
poyec. In October, 1871 paper was filed in
the Office of the Rccorder!or Deeds stating that
all Of the capital stock of the company,
100000 had been paid up in full. In the
summer Of 1873, defendant said to witness, =" l
have fifty.fve thousand dollars worth of stock
In this company"
On cross.examination witness was asked If
the company was now in existence. To which
ho replied, mo" Another question as to its
being " wildcat" scheme received as a reply
that he did not so consider 1t. He had received
a certain salary rs an employee and had not
troubled himself much about its solvency. Was
sure now however, that the stock was worth
nothing in the market.
Mr. w. II. Slater was then called. He stated
that he rented desk.room to Mr. Marsh last
summer At the time of his trouble defendant
gave witness two large envelopes, which he
said contained valuable papers, and asked him
to lock them up in his safe. Witness did so,
and had never examined them until to-day,
when he found that they contained four bonds
