A Prosecuting witness Goes Back on the
Authorities and Their Case Against the
Policy Man Is Lost.
Samuel Levy. the supposed poli-y
backer Of New York, was srraigned in
the Municipal Court this morning and
dismissed. The witness on whom the
state depended went back on the authori-
ties and the charge against him could
not be proved.
Isaac Carty, colored, the policy writer
from whom Chief of Police Dolan
recently received a written confession
duplicating Levy as a hacker Of VIII
mington policy men, was the FIRST
witness. He said he knew Samuel Levy,
but the prisoner was not that person.
Levy, he said had a sandy beard and
mustache and a sandy complexion, and
he met and had conversation with
him in a saloon Of this city. Carly
stated that his memory was treacherous
aud could hardly recognize person
when he had not met often. Levy, the
man arrested, has a heavy dark brown
moustache and dark hair.
Thomas White did not know who was
backing "hits" He did know that hits
were paid, neither did he know Levy moi
d.heard of him.
John Heinelman knew the defendant
as Samuel Levy, but had not seen him
before for six months, and then in Phila
delphia He never saw Levy in this city
and never had any correspondence oi
dealings with him. Leonard White
was put on the witness stand but knew
nothing of Levy
Carty's testimony settled the case anC

Game for the Latter.
Special Correspondence Evening Journal.
MIDDLETowE, Aug. 17.-The American
Eagle Baseball Club of Middletown
iourneyed to Clayton and played a re-
turn game with the club at that place
yesterday. The local club left on the
noon train for Clayton fully determined d
to win the game but toward the end Of
their stay their determinations and ex
pectations had been fully realized.
The game was called at 40 o'clock
and for five successive innings, Bradley,
the pitcher for Middletown did excellent
work. For some reason he was replaced
by Nsudain in the sixth, who also did
well for so young twirler He, too, was
removed from the box after pitching for
an inning, and was substituted by CHM
also of the Middletown Club. He either
failed to put the balls over the plate or
was occasionally pounded hard by the
Clayton batsmen. This changing of
pitchers was mainly the cause Of the
Middletown's defeat. The Clayton in
the first part of the game had White
lock occupying the pitchers box, but
found it necessary to get new pitcher
when FIVE innings had been played
| The club from Middletown was batting
him numerically. The Middletown took
advantage of the opportunity and made
six runs while their antagonists only
had two runs. At the close of the game
the score stood Middletown and
Clayton IL.
Not many from Middletown went on
the regular excursion to Rehoboth and
Ocean City this morning. The unfa-
vorable weather probably caused excur-
sionists to emain at home.
