GRIMES AccUmuLATING.

The arrest of Julius Francis, which took
place two or three days since at the Inter
national Hotel, where he was at work, is
almost hourly growing in Importance and the
revelation of crime. When first arrested by
officer jackson upon suspicion, and having a
set of burglars keys in his possession, it was
believed he would bear investigation with
probable results, and Chief Karcher, with
officers jackson and Rider. have since been
working up the case. An account has al
ready been given Ii the RECORD Y MON OF
finding in his trunk at the hotel the silver
ware and other articles stolen from the trunk
of a couple of ladies stopping at the hotel;
also finding therein the suit OF clothes stolen
from Adam Damn, at the Pacific Oyster
House; the handouts stolen in officer jack
sons valise some time since from the Nc
Cornick House, and Jackson's boots, which
were also in the valise when stolen, but were
upon Francis feet when arrested. In addi-
ton to these articles which were thus recog-
nized, large amount Of others were found
in his trunk, which were believed to have
been stolen, and in relation to which facts
ara now coming 10 light. When Francis was
searched at the station-house when first ar
rested, he had three pocket handkerchiefs in
Ms itpChShog tA4c Vi SAilN4if having Gc4pLNh
border, he evinced strong anxiety to take
with him irto the cell. This kerchief now
proves to have been in the coat pocket of the
suit which he had stolen from Adam Damn,
which accounts for his care In regard to 1t, as
he probably then supposed the trunk at the
hotel containing the suit would not be dis
covered.
In Francis trunk was found tin box il
which was a large amount of mining stock
certificates, account books, ETC., in relation to
which lie failed to give any satisfactory in
formation. Yesterday III. L. Chandler, having
seen the statement IN the RECORD u MON
that such box had been found in Francis
trunk, called at the police Office and
found that it belonged 10 him, and also part
Of the mining stock, the account books, and
a coupla of pictures. They were stolen from
his room in the International Hotel, and he
was not aware until now that they had been
stolen. Last evening Morris Marks exam
ined Francis effects, and discovered a fine
leather cigar-csse, a fancy collar box and
other articles which were stolen from his
room at the Fourth Avenue House, ON Fourth
street, about a year ago. The clue leading to
this identification was a receipt il favor of
Mr.. Marks, which was found in Francis
papers. This makes at least four cases OF
burglary already indicated against the pris-

waiting owners Or the oath of October last
valuable shotgun was stolen from room in
the international, and the police now believe
they have proof that Francis offered the gun
for sale day or two afterwards in the city,
and expect to soon find what disposition was
made of it, and fasten the larceny upon this
numerous burglar. The ladies who were
robbed of the silyerware, az above referred to,
gave their evidence upon examination before
Judge Henry yesterday, as they wished to
leave the city, being en- route for New Mex
leo. The further hearing of the case was

years of age, and states that he was born in

ton with any crime. and thus far holds
bold front against giving any information as
to his acquisition of unaccounted- for articles.
He has several hats in his trunk, all of which
be says he purchased for his own use, and
claims they all fit him, notwithstanding they
