Purging Himself of Contempt.

Mr. Chauncey d. Spaids came before Justice
james yesterday, sitting in chambers, to an
swcr rule laid upon him to show cause why
he should not be punished for contempt Last
week Mrs. Susan L. Spaids through her
counsel, filed petition for divorce from Mr..
Spades, aud prayed an injunction to restrain
him from disposing of the furniture in the
Owen House." which she claimed us her prop
erty, and interfering with her business. The
temporary injunction was granted, but subse-
quently modified to the extent Of permitting
him to enter the house and obtain his clothing
1t seems, however, that lie went further than
the authority given, and, upon complaint to
the judge, the rule was issued returnsble yes.
terday morning. Mr.. Spaids appeared with
out counsel, aud in striving TO purge himself OF
contempt, declared that he had no intention
of violating the order of the Court, and prom
ised, if excused for this transgression to keep
within the prescribed limits of the law in the
future. Ills Honor seemed at first disposed to
deal severely with the gentleman, but on be-
ing assured that the disobeyanco Of the in.
s,ructions was through ignorance and not will
full, and upon the promise of faithful OBJ
servance in the future, released Mr.. Spaids
from any further operation of the rule.

and testified simply that on the date mem
toned the articles were deposited in the hall
OF his residence, and that soon after they were
missing and that he had not seen them since.
Detective McDevitt next took the stand and
testified that he had received notice of the
robbery, and had arrested the parties
in the dock, having ample proof Of
their guilt, Stephen Douglass, half-grown
colored witness, stated that he bought pair
Of shoes from Ross for eighty cents, which shoes
were afterward identified as part Of the stolen
property. Josephus Williams, another juvenile
representative Of the colored race, kissed the
book and gave testimony to the effect that he
accompanied Ross and Thomas on the night of
the theft, aud that Ross entered Colonel Cor
bins house, stole the articles from the hat-rack,
and came out and showed them the result of his
exploit. Williams further swOre that Thomas
took the papers out Of the pocket-book and tore
them up. This was all the evidence given by
witnesses. Thomas was then allowed to speak
u word i'll his own behalf, aud said that all lie
know about the matter was that as he
was on his way TO q baseball match
he met Ross, who had bundle
under his arm and told him to wait
a minute as he had some "swag," meaning
some stolen goods. Theroupon he showed him
the gold watch, and invited him to help sell
it. This he refused to do, saying he didu't
do that kind of business. The young defend
ant attempted to account for the remainder
of the "swag" with a similar story, but after
patiently listening to the rehearsal His Honor
vetoed the testimony, and the case was sent
to the Grand Jury.

WAsHINGToN, August 49, 1879.
TO the Editor Of The National Republican:
SIR: In your issue of this date, in the mat
ter of the doialcation of Mr.. w. NJ. Roach you
say he attributes his first embarrassment to
his connection with Mr.. Smith, of Williams
port, Pennsylvania, which is not correct.
Messrs. Smith and Stone sold their interest in
the lumber yard on Maryland avenue. IN which
they were connected with Mr.. ]. d. Kitch
under the name aud firm of Stone, kitch &
Co, to Mr. William NJ. Roach, in October, 1876,
for which he paid Smith and Stone and re-
ccivcd value therefor. Mr. Roach entered
into partnership with Mr. Kitch, aud the BUSH
ness proved n failure resulting in closing it
up in 1873. Neither my brother, II. X. Smith
Of Williamsport, Pa, nor myself ever had any
other business transactions with Mr.. Roach.
You will confer favor and do mo justice if
You will correct the statement referred to. as
it is injurious to me in my business. Many of
the friends OF Mr.. Roach aud my own friends
think l am the person referred to, which is
not true.
Very respectfully, d. w. SMITH.
