Last Thursday, a special consta-

lady still lauguishes behind the bars
upon q charge of stealing a watch

learn them, are about as follows
One Of the workmen at Irondsle Fur.
mace hung his watch upon a nail in
his room at the boarding house on
Monday morning, and on Tuesday
hs went TO bis room to get the watch
aud it was gone. He immedistel
asked the lsndlsdy about the matter,
but she knew nothing about it, but
told him that there lad been no one
in his room but Mrs. Hauey and a
negro girl. This gave him some light
on the subject. aud he at once set out
for Independence where he met the
special constable and related the
facts to him. The constable went to
a store in town where Mrs. Hauey
was making some purchases. took
her aside, asked her about the watch
but she disowned knowing nything
whatever about it. After che had
gone away, the constable related the
circumstances to the proprietor Of
the store. who Immediately said that
he had the watch. aud had gott.n it
from Mrs. Hsney. Mrs. Hansy was
again waited upon by the constable,
and she acknowledged to having
given the watch to the storekeeper,
but claimed that the negro girl gave
1t to her on an old debt. The nsgro
girl, however, denied ever having il
in her possession. and Mrs. Hansy
was arrested. tried for theft before q
magistrate. and brought to town and
given lodging in the coop. She was
not ready for trial, she claim ed, and
