Tonight at O'Clock, one James McManu9
reported at the station that Morris Mahan and
=, e. Adams nad robbed their friend James
Felloon, of some considerable smount of
money. Officer Mountain was detaile1 to work
up the case. He proceeded to Dufley's saloon =,
on Market str CT, where the robbery wns al
legged to have been committed, and found Eel
loon In drunken stupor, without cent I
money on his Iers n. The two persons named
were pointed out by MeManus as the guilty
parties, and arrested by the officer.
They claim that Felloon bad no

seems plausible, but Mr.. McMsnus swears he
saw the prisoners steal the money from the
pocket of the fellow and consequently thev
will have to prove their innocence on the trial
tomorrow.
