day evening, February 2, to get his
brother Charlie from Mrs. Clouds and
take care of him, for he had been
drinking. Mrs Cloud was not at home,
and her little girl and Charity Gross
let him into the house. The row oc-
cured in trout of Mrs. Clouds house
on that night, he said. Several other
witnesses were called to testify to the
good character of Mrs. Clouds house,
and court adjourned.
THURSDAY MORNING.
At the opening of court this morn
ing, the case of Emma Cloud was still
on. Mr.. Vansyckel asked the priv
lege of calling one or two witnesses to
introduce testimony which he con-
sidered important. The court allowed
it, and VIM. Lupton was called. He
produced map of Elizabeth street,
with the house of Mrs. Cloud. Mr..
Logue objected to the map and the
court sustained the objection. Mr..
Lupton was then questioned regard
ing the location of the premises,
Officer Ell. Campbell testified for che
State in rebuttal of testimony offered
by the defense, concerning the charac-
ter of Mrs. Demby's house. Mrs. Ell
hot swore to the good reputation of
Mrs. Demby's house. Mrs. Gosbin (?)
(Hannahs,) also offered similar testi-
mony, and the case rested.
Mr.. VanSyckel began the summing
up of the case III his usual sharp and
incisive, as we'll as convincing argu.
ments. The lawyer poured out a
stream of eloquence, and made a very
good speech, making a number of
good points. Prosecutor Logue sum-
med up for the State in forcible man
ner, reviewing the testimony in detail,
and revealing its strongest features.
Judge Reed in his charge said that
the defendant had been indicted for
keeping disorderly house; disorder
ly house is nuisance. He then illus
trated the features which attach to a
disorderly house, with specific al
lusions to the points Of the testimony
in this case. If the jury had any rea-
sonable doubts upon the points testi-
fed to, the defendant should haye the
benefit of the doubt. The charge was
short and the jury went out about
half past eleven o'clock.
A jury was impaneled in the case of
Walter Hay, tried at the last term of
court for conspiracy with George
Brady, to burglarize the residence of
Harris Ogden, in Fairfield township.
This was new trial on the indict-
ment; George Brady had pleaded
guilty at last term. and Hay was found
not guilty; the court, however, refused
to release Hay from Jail on account of
other matters connected with the case,
which were not fully brought out and
investigated at the trial, J.L. Van
Syckel appeared for Hay.
Brady is very sick but was brought
into court supported by two consta-
bles. He looked very pale and emaci-
ated and appeared to be very weak.
Hay, who is a Scotchman, was brought
in court looking fresh and defiant and
seated himself by the side of his coun-
sci.
Procecutor Logue detailed the cir
cumstances of the robbery, as has been
heretofore given in these columns.
This however, is new Indictment for
conspiracy.
There will be but little interest in
the evidence, as the public is already
familiar with it.
Harris Ogden was placed on the
stand and said he had hired Brady at
an intelligence office in PHILADELPHIA;
hired him for one month; his time ex-
pired, and he was paid off on Novem-
ber 22d. On the Saturday morning
following, his home was burglarized.
Mrs. Emma Cloud having been found
guilty was surrendered to the Sheriff
by her bondsmen.
George F. Brady was sworn. He
declared that he had held several con-
versations with Hay as to what things
should be taken from Ogden's resi-
dence; that Hay had told him how
and where to find the things; that he
and Hay had made an arrangement
and agreed upon signs by which Hay
would know when he returned on the
night for the robbery.
Brady appeared very feeble and
seemed to talk with difficulty and in
mander.
Jail Warden Lore was sworn, and
detailed what Hay had confessed to
him as to knowing that Brady was
coming back to rob the place.
Enos Paullin, Jr. was sworn, and
said he heard some of the talk be-
tween Hay and Brady after both of
their arrests. Hay knew that Paullin
was present, and Brady did not; he
