PARKER JEWEL ROBBERY.
Yesterday afternoon the grand jury
reported an additional Indictment, which
was placed on the secret file. This is
the case for which F. ]. Church was
appointed as temporary foreman, on
account of Samuel Parker being dis
qualified. Not only from the disqualifi-
cation of the foreman in this case, but
the personnel of witnesses before the
grand jury in the morning, it was plac-
ed beyond surmise that the latest in
dictment was for the larceny of Mrs.
Parker's jewelry The arrest of Ben
Gallagher which quickly followed the
issuance of a bench warrant on the
indictment has dispelled the secrecy.
