brought up from the second ward on
Wednesday evening and placed ir Jail,
charged with highway robbery. There
is Syrian woman named Mrs. Malchi,
who peddles on small scale down in
the second ward, and Tuesday evening
while passing levee camp, which is
located on the Wilton front, was STOP
ped by Cobb and enticed into thieket,
where the other two negroes were in
waiting. They threw the woman down
and took her pocketbook, containing
five or six dollars, and her goods. and
then beat her up very badly. These
men do not live in East Carroll; they
are what are called Ieyee niggers, the
most depraved kind of wretches, who
would stop at nothing. The three

fought the constable, and it is said
Scott would have killed Cobb if a
woman, who follows the camp, had not

Department at Washington have been

Gilbert, who had been disbarred by
