Three men named Hamilton, Graham
and Joyce, were arrested on suspicion
of being engaged in the robbery of
Durgin & Cos. On Saturday evening
the police gained the information that a
man had been seen on the streets offer
ing rings for sale, and every effort was
made to run foul of him, but without
success. On Sunday, however, the three
individuals named above. were seen in
the neighborhood of the D. & R. g.,
and appeared to be acting in suspicious
manner. The individual who brought
word to the police of the jewelry peddler
was sent for, and thought he recognized
one of the trio as the man who had
been seen with the rings. AS result
he was taken into custody, and the
others were also arrested charged with
being his accomplices in the matter.
They were placed in Jail, and arraigned
yesterday morning under the charge of
larceny. The chief witness, however.
having had opportunity for reflection,
was not so sure of his man as he had
been on Saturday, and on motion of the
Prosecuting Attorney, they were all
discharged.
The case of F. w. Anderson. charged
with attempting to commit a rape on
a little girl named Williams, mention
and details of which have already APP
peared in The HERALD, came up at . p.
M, and occupied the entire afternoon.
Contrary to the expectations of hun
cry horde who had gathered to hear
the details of the outrage, the doors
were closed, and no one, save court off
Gals. witnesses and reporters, were al
lowed TO be present. 1t was
crowd that filed away from
the court doors. The defendant
still sported very black eve. and
general used-up appearance. He is of
small stature, much given to drink
but was very meek and mild when he
took his seat before the Judge. He was
represented by S. A. Kenner, and the
prosecution was conducted by Messrs
Moyle and Waddell. The evidence
brought out merely corr6borated all
that has been previously published in
TIE HERALD. save. that the defense
introduced evidence tending to show
the general good character of the de-
PENDANT. In the arguments. Mr.. Movie
was brief. oonfn:ng himself mainly to
the introduction of authorities on
the SUBJECT under consideration; Mr..
Kenner made rather forcible effort in
what proved to be bad cause. in which
he claimed among other things that
Anderson had no criminal intent. and
That he was merely attracted towards
young children because of his great love
lor them. Mr.. Waddell, however, took
the opposite view, and in summing up,
Juoge Splers gave it as his opinion that
the accused could be properly held I'M
der the charge to await the action of
the Grand Jury, and he so ordered
Ban was liked at 81 600, which nad not
been obtained at a late hour last even

Mr.. Kenner then announced that he
desired A : Williams, the father of the
child, to be held under charge of as
sault with intent to do bodily harm.
Mr.. Williams will probably have a
bearing this morning.
