Charges
PARTNER IN CRIME ALSO HELD

Instance and in Default Of Which
the Men Were Committed to the
Workhouse

Twenty-three prisoners We're arraign-
ed i'm City Court this morning and it
was the largest session held for some
time. Several important cases We're
called for trial Among them was the
case of William Simms and Frank
Reed both colored, who We're arraign-
ed on charges Of assault with intent to
commit murder and assault with in
tent to commit rape
Evidence in each charge was particu-
larly strong and the court held both
defendants i'm $4,000 each for the Court
of General Sessions.
Frank Jones. colored, was the prose-
cutting witness in the attempted muir
der case. but was unable TO testify be-
cause of the painful nature of wound
in his face inflicted by Simms Other
witnesses however deposed that Simms
had cut Jones i'm the face and Reed
stabbed him I'm the back. This assault
arose from an attempt to feloniously
assault a colored girl named Emma
Harris on Saturday night. The offens6
was committed after midnight in a
field beyond Market street bridge. The
girls cries for help brought Jones tC
her assistance and he was set upon by
the prisoners and cut.

Not Guilty of Larceny.

Howard Thompson and John Wilmer,
both colored. We're charged with the
larceny of 1000 pounds of lead from
Cranston & Company of Newport. The
evidence however. showed that the
owner of the metal was John II. Scott.
of Newport. and not Cranston & Com
pany, consequently David ]. Rein
hardt. representing Thompson. and Jo-
siah Marvi, representing Wilmer, ask
ed for the discharge of their clients
The court thought the point we'll taken
and dismissed the defendants
Thompson and Wilmer were then ar
raigned on a charge Of stealing the lead
from Scott. Mr.. Reinhardt said that
as far as he was concerned he was will
ing to waive a hearing for the upper
court for his client, but Mr.. Marvil said
he had evidence to produce In behalf of
Wilmer. The latter took the stand and
testified that he assisted Thompson to
take the lead from the Newport mill
with no other purpose in view than to
merely assist him. Thompson having
said that the concern owed him money
and refused to pay him. Thompson
needed funds and took the lead for the
purpose Of realizing money on it.
Wilmer testified that they cut the
lead. which was in the form of piping.
away from the inside of the bunding,
He was to receive no compensation for
his share Of the work. he having mere
/ " helped Thompson. who was friend
OF his. Winners testimony was the on
! ly evidence offered by Mr.. Marvil. but
the latter asked for the discharge of
his client on the grounds that no lar
ceny had been committed. He said he
could produce law and authority show
ing that the defendant was not guilty
Of the crime of larceny. Mr. Marvil
contended that in order to constitute
larceny in this case it would have been
necessary for the defendants to cut the
lead down at one time and return for II
at another time. The transaction hav-
ing been a continuous act. no larceny
was committed. He said his client
might be guilty OF trespass or some
other charge. but not Of larceny. The
court continued the case as far as Will
mer is concerned until next Friday III
order to give Mr.. Marvil an opportun-
ity to prove his contention by produc-
ing law and authorities bearing on the
matter.
Thompson was held I'm 5000 bail fol
