The case of Joshua Bachus came uf
for trial. D. J. Murphy appeared as
his counsel. The case is one of larceny
wherein the prisoner is charged with
stealing goods from Henry Lodge. The
prosecr uor testified as to facts. He had
lost the gods, and in searching around
for them, .ourd them in Harper's junk
shop, in Wilmington. The proprietor
of the Junk shop stated emphatically
that the goods were brought to him by
Bachus.
The prisoners counsel in opening sta.
ted that the line of defence would bs tc
prove an "alibi." For this purpose he
called Mrs. Moody, COL, the boarding
house mistress of the prisoner, who sta.
ted emphatically that on the night n
the robbery the prisoner was asleep IN
her house, that his room was next O
hers; that he could not get out of tie
house without her seeing him; and that
the next morning when the prisoner
was said to have sold the articles to
Harper, she saw him dressing.
The sons of Mrs. Moody were also
called to corroborate the above.
The jury then retired and in two
hours returned with a verdict Of not
guilty.

Fret h street when Benson knocked

With a razor, whereupon Jackson pulled
cut revolver and shot Hainaley. As
aoon as the shot was frod witness gave
