BROWN. tIle nurrInr, ConyIctcd.

Officer Bobby McNichol and the boy
who went with him and Officer Lukens
to Caldwell, Ohio, to testify concerning
the satchel found here, and believed to
belong to the burglar, Brown, arrested
by these officers and taken to Caldwell
on charge of burglary there, returned
home yesterday morning, and Officer
Lukens came last night. Before leaving
Caldwell he had the satisfaction Of hear
ing the jury pronounce the man he was
instrumental in arresting guilty. He
was not sentenced, however, as a motion
was at once made for a new trial, on
which the court has not yet passed. AS
a number of witnesses identified Brown
rs one Of the two suspicious men seen
there Just before the burglary, and rs
the other one answered the description
OF the man with Brown here when he
was first seen by Officer Lukens, it is
not probable that the prisoner will get
another chance.

ing something like half n ton of iron
from the Top mill blast furnace, were ar
raigned before Squire Davis yesterday
in pairs, William Hotfire, the sixth Of
the gang, having been arrested early in
the morning. Two OF the boys Scknowl
edged to stealing Theron. Headley and
Gray told u dizzy story about an old
man getting them to sell the iron fol
him, Billy Hottire said he was in the
skiir when the boys stole the iron, but
lie was sitting in the bowshooting ducks
and did not pay any attention to what
the Others did.
Mr.. Pendleton appeared for Raymer
and Charles Smith for one OF the Other

agreement in the stories told by the dit,
fercnt prisoners, there was little show
for the defense.
The boys were all committed to Jail in

ton moved to reduce this, but the
Squire said when the boys were ready to
give reduced bail, he would talk on
