Last evening in Squire Phillips court,
q preliminary examination came of
which has caused good deal Of talk for
several weeks. On ths morning Of Fri
day, April 20, William Robinson, a col
lector for the Rsgis.T, lost a pOcket-book
containing $40 and some other things,
among them two tickets for the Opera
House. A day or two alter he sWore
out warrant for John Beymer, better
known as Judge" for many years Q
well,known AttaGhe Of the Western
Union Telegraph office, whom he &C
cused Of stealing the pocket-book, Mr.,
Beymer gave bond promptly for his ap'
pearanCe last night,
Nobody who knows BeymeF believed
there was any reason to accuse him oil
the larceny, Last night Robinson tes'
tiled that he had lost the purse, and q
few minutes after missed It, and went
back over his route, but the book was
gone, That night be saw Bsymer and
a lady in the seats in the Opera House
which he thought he had bought. He
accused him OF finding the book, and
demanded It's return, and as Beymer did
not return II, instituted the prosecution
This was absolutely all the evidence
adduced to justify the arrest OF a man on
q serious charge, BeYmer, on the CON
trary, proved that he had t6etw tickets
he used before Robinson claimed the
pocket book was lost. There was also
mass Of other good evidence in his IA,
yor, and Of course he was promptly and
honorably acquitted.
