RoBEY CONVICTED
OF Assault with Intent to XIII Officer
9uinlan.

The trial Of George W. Robey, indicted for
assault with intent to kill Police onlcer Quin-
Ian on the 2Sth Of last September, has occu-
pied nearly two days Of tho Criminal Court,
and was given to the Jury to-day at noon. on
with United States warrant for the arrest OF
Robey, on the charge OF making threats
against Constable Hubbell, wont TO his house
TO serve the same. AS ho stepped on the porch
and was about to rap on tho front door Roboy
put his head out Of an upper window.
OfIlcer Quinlan informed him OF the object OF
his visit and read the warrant to him. Robey
declined to respond, but said that he would
como down to the Police Court In tho morning.
The policeman told him unless he came down
that the door would be broken open, and he
made n motion indicating how the oper-
alton would bo performed. AT this juncture
pistol In hand and fired at the officer. He, not
liking the warm reception, burst tho door opon,
got Into the hall and proceeded 70 the stairs,
when Robey, with his pistol, took position on
the landing above. AS the policeman
came up the stairs Robey opened his battery
upon him, and fired three shots, one OF which
carried away finger OF the left hand. Quin.
Ian, with undaunted courage, faced the firing;
kept on upstairs, and finally captured his
man and the murderous weapon, and, with
assistance, landed both In the station house.
The only defense set up by Mrs. Lockwood,
the counsel, was that her client was non
compos mentis but this plea was pretty
efiectually upset, the witnesses called for her
side contributing largely to effect It, and tho
jury, without losing much time, returned n
verdict OF guilty. Sentence was suspended
until the expiration Of the four days In which
q motion for a new trial can be entered,

After the close of the performance at tho
Comique last night John l.. sullivan, the
pugilist, met lot OF people In tho box-onlce
and entertained them with q statement OF his
past exploits and future Intentions. Sullivan
Is n finely formed man. Ho is 3 feet 10 inches
In height, % years of ago, and weighs now
300 pounds. Ho related his former OK
ploits in the prize-rlng with Elliott,
Ryan, Tug Wilson aud others, and rather con-
ceiiedly declared that neither OF them were as
good as himself at scientific slugging. His
defeat by Wilson, he said, was owing 70 the
fact that he (Sullivan) was not then in good
condition. He gave an interesting explanation
OF his method OF training, adding incidentally
that he had trained for lights since q lad
years OF age. In regard TO the proposed fight
between himself and Tom Allen, ho said that
the only possible hitch In the prelimlnarlos
for the proposed light Is the selection OF the
place. Allen favors Louisiana, but Sullivan Is
convinced from his experience during his
fight with Ryan that law would bo promptly
passed by the State Legislature which would
lead TO tho arrest and incarceration OF the
principals In u penitontlary. lie maintains
that the fight should take place In Leadville
or some other Colorado town, or In tho Indian
Territory. sun he IA willing to fight In any
OF the now States or Territories whore 1t would
not involve violation OF law. ~ said was
not going TO fight again" said sullivan, "but
as Allen says he has como over here for that
purpose, he need never go back without a
night. think can whip any man 13yoars In

Margaret L. Acker this afternoon, through

for divorce from her husband, Jacob N. AclSer.
Her maiden name was st. Clair, and the pet-
lion states that they were married September
30, 1868, by Rev. Mr.. Green, and four children
have been the result of tho union. Sho
charges that he became addicted to drink,
failed to support his family and treated her
with cruelty, and on January. ., 1879, he
seized her by the throat, choked her and then
chased her with n carving knife. His treat
ment forced her to leave him, but after an
absence OF six months, she returned upon his
promise TO do better. He secured a position
In the Fire Department and contributed $50
per month 10 provide for the family, but sub
sequently was discharged; after that ho treated
her cruelty, and while sick, the doctor having
prescribed opium, which a Mrs. Simpson was
about giving her, the husband drove the lat
ter out OF the room and insisted upon the wife
taking moro medicine than was prescribed,
and in consequence she came near losing her
lfo. TO support herself, the wife keeps n
