LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

9NS~N
Kings grocery store, at the corner of Second
and L streets, evening before last. and in the
chase for whom the cry of stop thief was
mistaken for a cry Of fire and caused an
alarm to be turned in, is assuming a def
nitely peculiar phase. The case was yester-
day postponed until tomorrow, on account
of parties who are engaged in trying to prove,
without a trial being held, that Carr is a most
innocent and honest individual, and ought
not to be prosecuted. Just how the paper of
coffee came into the defendants possession,
whether it was attracted to his person by
magnetic influence or got upon all fours and
followed him out Of the store, has not yet
been definitely fixed upon; but it requires no
cumulative evidence to convince the defend
ant that it was in his possession when King
overhauled him on Front street, and was so
vigorous in taking personal satisfaction out
of the thief. fearing that he might otherwise
escape Justice. While this exercise was
being performed Carr gave an exceedingly
lively alarm of murder - on a high key
The expressions from those best acquainted
with the case is, that the attempt to suppress
trial in a case like this, upon asserted hon.
esty of the prisoner, is not only reprehensihle
as tending to cover up and increase crime,
but that persons so endeavoring to prevent
justice and hinder punishment, justly lay
themselves liable to suspicion of sustaining
unpleasantly intimate relations not ouly with
the criminal but his crime.
MERITED SENTENCES. Thefour youngsters,
George McClintock, Joseph Sprout, James
Seaman and James Green, who were con-
victed at Auburn few days since of break
ing into railroad car and stealing goods to
the amount of $3.50 III value, were yesterday
sentenced by Judge Meyers to the State
Prison the first three for term of fif-
teen years each, and Green for five years.
The reason for the shorter term of the latter
was that it was his first conviction. As here
tofore remarked, none Of these four con-
victed criminals were as yet sixteen years OF
age. McCintock, Sprout and Scanlan were
born in this city, and have always lived here,
except when away for commission Of crime
and although young in years, they are gray-
headed and bald in hardness and criminal
experience. There is general approval of
the sentences imposed by the Judge, and
relief in the thought that if it does not have
a tendency to reform the criminals, it viii at
least afford temporary relief by suspending
from public notice their continuous acts and
ever-groWing recures of crime. 1t is re-
marked that it would be care thrown away
to attempt to keep this youthful batch from
