LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

JACK Downs CASE. The case against
Jack Dowd, in which he was charged with
having been accessory after the fact in the
robbery Of Dusenberry some time since, has
several symptoms of approaching its end.
Although Jack has had considerable of a
time trying to wrestle out from under the
charge, he is still smiling and happy and APP
parently in his natural atmosphere. He was
first examined before Judge Henry and held
to answer. This he objected to and sued out
a writ of habeas corpus and was discharged
by Judge Clark on the ground of insufficiency
of evidence. He was at once rearrested
upon the same charge on the ground of
newly obtained evidence. He Immediately
got a second hearing before Judge Clark on
another writ of habeas corpus, but this time
the Judge remanded him to an examination
before Justice Haines. Mr.. Haines, however,
refused to soil his ermme with the case, puta-
lively for want of jurisdiction, and he was
then taken back to the Police Court, but
Judge Henry declined to hear the case again,
as he had already sat on Dowd once, and his
mind as to the prisoners guilt was so strong
ly made up as to render him an unprejudgirg
magistrate Mayor Turner was then applied
to to appoint Police Judge pro tenn. to ex-
anime the case, and Justice Gilmer was so
appointed. Dowd meantime was out on bail,
and his bondsmen, fearing he would leave
the city, delivered. him up few days ago,
and he was lodged in the city jail. When
received in Jail he was examined, aud bunko
guide found in his pocket, which is expressly
made for and used only in the work of
''bunko steering" "roping in, "capping,"
etc, at which he had been evidently busy
while out on bail. One night he was observed
by officer jackson with some innocent
new arrival in his company, whom he was
endeavoring for about three hours to get to
some den where he might readily be relieved
of any money vaiuables he had about him.
He was watched during the time by the Off
Ger, who afterwards had conversation with
the stranger, who said Dowd wanted him to
go to his room but the man had no suspicion
that Dowd was bunko, but that they had
actually met some where East and Dowd had
remembered him, as he claimed, but the
stranger could not remember Dowd. Other
circumstances of Dowd's having large sums
of money under suspicious circumstances,
while out on bail, are known to the police, but
he was caught in no direct additional crime.
The last examination before Judge Gilmer
resulted in his being held to answer in the
sum of $780, in default Of which he has since
been in jail. He will be arraigned in the
Superior Court this morning, and it is
thought will plead guilty, save time and re-
