No case Against meteIe,..

Solomon Metelets was before the
Police Court yesterday morning charged
with stealing S27 in United States cur
rency, the property of Captain j. @.
Dame. Captain Dame testified that on
Wednesday he carried pair OF pants
and vest to Bendheim Brothers TO have
some repairing done. Metelets is tailor,
and works for the above firm, and did the
work for Captain Dame. The latter soon
after receiving the vest had oc-
casion to use some money, and felt IN
the inside pocket of the vest, and found
the money missing. He remembered
that he had two ten-dollar notes, one
i've, and two one-dollar notes in the
vest pocket before going to the tailor's,
and went to Bendheim's and told OF
his loss. Metelets showed the Captain
his pocket-book, containing some thirty
odd dollars, and told him il it was his
money he could take it. The Captain
could not identify the notes, but in
formed the police Of the circumstances,
and Metelets was arrested.
Two employees OF Messrs. Bendheim
testified that they saw Metelets with
thirty-two dollars on Tuesday, the day
before Captain Dame had his vest re-
paired.
The Justice after hearing the evidence
dismissed the case.
