ROSES CASE.

Continuation of the Wilson Difficulty.
The case OF Al. Rose came on for a
hearing. Yesterday afternoon, before
Justice Caldwell. AL. is a mature young
man OF 10 years, and is charged with
breaking the eighth commandment with
Mrs. Sallie Wilson, rs already noticed in
the REGISTER. The case developed n
great deal ef merrimsnt from some OF
the witnesses, and q great deal more OF
matter ~ interesting, but not rs pub-
ishRble. Officer DOminick Morris, who
arrested him, was the funny man of the
occasion, and his bright mother-wit
kept the crowd in rOars OF laughter.
There was terrible contradiction
among the witnesses. One would swear
one thing and another the very opposite
until 1t was no wonder when, az the end
the Justice sent Rose back TO Jail and
took the case under adyisement until
this morning.
Judge J. c. Cochran represented the
State and Captain Il. Il. Dovener APP
peared for the defendant. The attorneys
occasionally bucked against each other
and provoked numerous loud smiles
beyond the railing.

COURT HOUSE IMPROVEMENT.
At the meeting of the Board OF Com.
missioners, yesterday, the Committee
OIL Court House and Jail submitted the
plans OF the proposed improvements to
the building, which were prepared by
Contractor McFadden. The changes
contemplated in the court room are very
material. First Of all the gallery will be
removed and the space under the west
side be devoted 10 jury and reception
rooms. The necessity OF the former has
been fully set forth, from time TO
time in the REGISTER. The want OF
a reception or waiting room is q crying
one. II frequently happens that wit
nesses are excluded, in which event they
must now wait in the halls or where
best they may. Under the new mr.
rangement there will be three jury
rooms aud the waiting room, the parti.
toned section being two stories high.
A brick wall is to run from the pres
ent court room door TO the east wall,
dividing the room into two new ones,
each one being i3 by - feet This is
sufficiently large and it is believed the
present miserable acoustic properties vii
| be benefited by the change. The desks
OF the Judge and clerk will occupy the
same relative positions "a they do now,
and the spectators seats will he elevated
as at present. The Court rooms will be
known as No. and No. ., and occupied
by the respective parts OF the Circuit
| Court.
No change IS contemplated in anv
portion OF the building except the pres
cnt court room. The estimated cost 10
$1,000, which may be more or less than
the actual cost.
The plans submitted were fully dis.
cussed and appeared to meet the appro.
baton OF every member. The clerk was
authorized to advertise for proposals.
Three months or thereabouts will be o..
cupied in the work.

The Strauder Case.

Correspondence Of the Register.
Under the Constitution OF the United
States, the Congress Of the United
States ard the State Legislature are pro.
hibited from passing &c post fdcfo laws.
The Supreme Court OF the United
States declared the jury law OF West
Virginia to be void and unconstitutional,
because it excluded negroes from the
iurv box, or in other words, they con.
tanned no provisions allowing negroes to
sit ON juries.
This was the status OF our jury laws
up to the sitting OF the last Legislature.
Would not any law passed by any
Legislature OF this State since the de-
cision OF the Supreme Court OF the
United States be an er post tdcto law, so
far as the trial OF Taylor Sirauder is con-
cerned?
Can he be tried under the amended
iury laws of our State, when the offence
had been committed eight years befoi
our present law was enacted2
Is not the discharge OF Strauder by
the United States Court a final dis.
charge from all liability TO the laws OF
this S ate?
Will not his rearrest on State war
rant, cause conflict OF jurisdiction be-
tween the United States Court and DOR
State Courts, and result in Strsuder's
immediate and unconditional discharge
Isnot the ruling aud decision ~ the
Federal Courts III the CAGE, conclusive
evidence against the State OF West Viz
ginia TO maintain an action nov against
Strauder?
Finally, has West Virginia no relief
in the matter as il now stands?
Can a man take the life OF his fellow
man. and because Republican court on
technical grounds, sets aside the verdict
Of an i'm partial jury, and then go un-
punished Tor his wicked crime? AS a
State, again ask the question, have we
no re dress under our State laws'
In my judgment, the United States
Court will not permit him TO be tried
again by the State courts; because they
have not remanded him back to the
State courts. but Internationally re.
leased the prisoner.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
An Aged Maa Knocked Down and
Robbed-Arrest OF Suspected Parties.

An Aged Man Knocked Down and
Robbed-Arrest OF Suspected Parties.
A shocking case OF highway robbery
a cowardy case considering the helpless
object-was perpetrated, last night,
under the following circumstances;
John Rider is an aged German from
Wetzel county, living about 8 miles
from Littleton. Yesterday he came to
this city for the purpose OF collecting
some money and prefaced his CHI Tor
his debtor by taking q drink at u Water
street saloon. There he met two young
men, strangers 10 him, and asked them
il they knew John Robrecht. who owed
him $500. They said they did and told
him to come with them and they would
lead him there.
About $50 O'Clock last night, Capt.
Bennett received telephone message
from the United engine house, and has
tening down there went to Walters gro
Gerry, and there found John Rider in a
sad state. His white hair was dabbled
with blood, and his face was bruised in
various places, while his clothing was
covered with mud from head to toe. He
told his own story, very disconnectedly.
When he started out with his two un.
known companions, they led him from
saloon to saloon until he Was very much
muddled. He was then led to the
neighborhood of the b. & o. machine
shop, where his companions turned
upon him and knocked him down. One
placed his heel upon his neck, while the
other rifed his pockets, leaviAg him
then to make his way, as best he might,
to where he was found.
Castain Bennett took him to the city
building, and summoning officers Nor.
ris and Brady, started upon the war
path. A number of saloons were visit.
ed until it was established to the satl
faction OF the Captain that Charlie
Sweeney and Mike Flicker were the as.
sailants, and pursuit OF them was &C.
cordingly instituted. Officer Brady I'M
dertook the capture OF the latter, and
the Chief and Officer Morris got upon
Sweeney trail.
Both were successful. Sweeney was
captured at Lawrence Heller's saloon,
and Flicker near bv. They were taken
to the lookup and Rider was brought up
to identity them. He at once recog-
nized Sweeney and poured upon him a
torrent of German invective. OF
Flicker he was uncertain, and the Chief
decided to let him 20. Subsequently,
however, he received information which
satisfied him Flicker was his man, and
in a few moments Officer Brady had
him again behind the bars.
About midnight party visited the
city building and desired to see Sween.
ey. Captain Bennett questioned him as
to his purpose, and as the visitor de.
clined to divulge, very properly refused
him tie permission.
The amount lost by Rider is between
60 and 81. Sweeney had No u o ley
a. o 1t kiT, and Flicker la ST 80. Rider
was taken by Officer Combs TO the Cen.
tral Hotel, where tie blood and dirt
were cleansed from his person, and he
was put to bed. He is at least 20 years
old. and his silvered hair and general
feeblcness would have stayed the arm oi
any but cowardly ruffian.

THE DEITERs CASE.
The Opinions Of Members Of the Board Of

Commissioners
The Board OF Commissioners decided;
yesterday, TO suppress anything further
in the Deiters matter. A report had
been turned over to the Finance Com.
mittee by the examiners and during the
meeting it lay upon the desk, hungrily
eyed by the reporters. When every
thing had been cleared from the table,
Mr.. Speidel took up this document and
asked il it was the pleasure OF the Board
to hear it read.
Mr.. Carnahad said il was the distinct
understanding when the examination
began that it was not to be made pub
lie. The examiners were to report TO
the Finance Committee, and il the CON-
mittee desired to give out anything to
the Board it would do so. But this
matter Of having regular reports from
the examiners should not be. When
all was ready then let Mr.. Deiters and
his counsel appear and the report would
be heard.
The motion TO suppress prevailed,
and the report was clrefully tucked
away in a pigeon hole, to the intense
disgust OF the reportorial fraternity.
