LAMP THIEvEs.-There was Int one
case in the Police Court this morning,
and that was continued in the absence
of material witnesses. For several
years builders have been greatly an
noyed by lamp thieves, it being impoS-
sible to keep one on pile of bricks or
debris during the night. Officer Ar
rington caught James Davis, colored,
last night after he had taken lamp
from some gas pipe on st. Asaph street.
Another negro named Charles Will
Hams was with Davis, and Mr.. AIRING
ton called on him to halt, but he pre-
ferred risking bullet, and the officer
shot at him. Williams escaped, but he
was later captured by Officers Beach,
TIGER and Deane. Williams stole q
lamp valued at $1.25 from the same
place Saturday night and sold it for
fifteen cents. Both men were commit
ted for further examination. Will
liams is a Norfolk negro, and q new
conner. Davis spends the winter months
in jail at the city's expense. In the
summer he picks banjo and leads q
butterfly existence generally, He was
released from confinement last week.
Mr.. Jno. Sweeten to-day called at the
station house and identified the lamps
as city property.

ed that Ada Jinckins, the complainant
in the case of Joseph Clarke, indicted
for attempting to commit an assault,
had gone before a notary public and
made atiidavits that the statements she
made in the Mayors Court and before
the grand jury recently were not true,
and it being believed by the Common
wealth's Attorney that she is being
tempered with as witness, she was
to-day, by order of the Corporation
Court, placed in charge of Mrs. John
Robey for safekeepiug till the case
comes up tomorrow. This morning,
before the girl was turned over to Mrs.
Robey, Commonwealth Attorney Mar
bury sent Officer Roberts after her. At
the station house she acknowledged
that she had recanted the charges made
at first against Clarke. She said that
Clarke went to Mr.. Beach's residence,
where she was staying, and asked her
to go with him to her sisters house !;
that Clarke was drunk, and on the way
he fell aud in doing SO knocked her
down and hurt her. She returned to
Mr.. Beach's house and told her story,
when Mrs. Beach told her to 60 to the
station house and prefer the charge of
criminal assault. Mr.. Marbury to-day
received an anonymous letter telling
him that the girl is being tempered
with, and warning him that everything
is being done to prevent Clarke from
being brought to justice.
