NURsED A VIPER.

Interesting Testimony Given at the Ex-
animation of Edward Daily.
Edward Daily, charged with robbery, was
partially examined in the Police Court YES
terday.
The complaining witness, John f. Mann.
testified that he met Daily at Roseyine
junction last week, and learning that he
was without money, and was hungry, took
pity on him, and paid for his dinner.
Daily told him fearful story, and Mann
purchased a ticket for him to this city.
ihe Two landed here together, Tuesday
and Mann continued to generously deal
with Daily, taking him around town with
MIN. The two drank rather freeiy-or al
least Mann did; Daily, for reasons of his
own, taxing care not TO get too drunk. At
about midnight Daily threw his benefsc
tor down, on Fourth street, and took two
purses from him, one of which contained
80, and the other little over $40. Mann
cried Tor help, an6 several persons came to
his assistance. Daily denied that he
mao taken the money, and accused
me Ola hot-corn mau at the corner OF
Fourth and n streets of being the thief.
This story did not work. so Daily inf.
mated to the bystanders that Mann must
nsve the money somewhere in his clothing
Ihereupon he proceeded TO search Mann.
PRESENTLY he stopped down, and. feeling
about Mann's feet produced one of the
purses-the one with the lesser amount. of
course, "Ah, said be, "he had it in his
shoe But the crowd knew better. and
when officer Campbell arrived some time
later, Daily was placed under arrest.
Several other witnesses corroborated
MAINS testimony. Some of them saw
Daily push Mann down and go through
his pockets, and also witnessed Daily's
sieight-ot-hand performance in producing
one Of the purses from Mann's shoe.
Daily, though poorly dressed, is a fine.
looking, large man. He demonstrated that
he possessed considerable intelligence
too, by closely questioning every witness
He admitted that Mann had been
kind to him, but denied that be robbed
him. Were 1t not for the fact that Daily
has q criminal record, his very appear
ance might clear him of this difficulty.
The case will be concluded today.

His soul is chained foreye r to

His once bright eye is dull and set,

Which seems to bind him like net;
Too late will once strong and firm,

continues, although opening prices were

lost. but quotations at l:45 p. NJ. were
4-6i lower on August and September
and g. on September aud October.
The lowest figure reached here
by August was 1885. Close was
