Stealing Cases In HOward-A special
dispatch from Ellcott City to the Baltimore
Sun, dated 10Th instant, says: "The cases of
the State against John Ridgeley for stealing
harness and various stable equipments came
up for trial to-day in the Howard county
Circuit Court, Judge Jones on the BENCH
There are sixteen indictments against Ridge
ley for stealing from as many different per-
sons. The harness was found in Ridge.
ley's possession in August, and different per-
sons in Howard, Prince Georges and Mont
gomcry counties identified many of the ar
ticles as their property.
considerable excitement was caused
throughout the county at the time of his
arrest, and great interest has been manifest
ed in the trial, as it is not known what de-
Tense his counsel will set up in the majority
OF the Cases against him. The first case
called was for stealing set of double har-
ness from VIM. G. Walters, of Montgomery

Mr.. Walters rs having been stolen from
him. Mr.. Ridgcley's brother testified that
he was present in Washington and saw his
brother John purchase the set secondhand.
ed from baZar. The Court declared the
prisoner not guilty.
"The second case was for stealing a scythe
and some pitchforks from NJ d. Goverman,
on August 4th. Nearly two hours were
consumed in selecting jury, and after it
was accomplished the Court adjourned
Messrs. Henry 4. Wootton and William A.
Hammond are counsel for the prisoner"
On the 10Th the trial was resumed, and
the counsel for the defense put in the plea
that Ridgeley was II kleptomaniac and not
responsible for his acts. 1t was shown that
he had stolen great number of articles, all
used about stables and with horses, for
which he had no use whatever, and which
were found stored on his premises DIR.
Stokes, the physician at Mount Hope, was
examined for the defense, and testified that
from the evidence he had heard given he
thought there were evidences of insanity in
the prisoner. DR.. Gundry, OF Spring Grove,
was put on the stand by the State. lie had
made a slight examination OF Ridgeley, and
did not consider him insanc Several wit
nesses from this county, Ridgeley's former
home, testified us to his good character, hon
esty, etc.
On the 18th the jury in the above case
found the prisoner insane, and it is likely
the Court will order his confinement in an
asylum.
