City Court, j
Two sailor men who gave their names
as Jas. Jones and Jas. Mclntire and who
bok to be about 25 and; 80 Years of age
i i
were arraigned this morning upon a
charge that looked from areporter's stand
point very much like that of highway
robbery, A seafaring man, who sails un
der the cognomen of James Fletcher, was
the aggrieved party, and stated under oath
that last night somewhere in the city tt e
exact locality he could cot tell as he was a
s 'ringer in the place shortly after dark,
he was set upon by two men who held
him and attempted to rifle his pockets,
which tbey succeeded parially in doing
when he cried out and .they scampered
off. To questions put by the Mayor the
wit 3038 stated he was somewhat in liquor
liet i.ight and had inteuded going off on
tha train to Now York,-where his bag
. 'I t
gage had preceded him, but that being too
late fcr the train he missed the oppor
tunity of going. He stated that he bad
some $14 in money "when be started down
town, that the parties who robbed him got
a portion ol; it and he had only $2 left.
The witness would not swear positively
to the idcutity of the persons at the bar;
he could not tell whether they were: the
same who robbed him or not.
Officer Walker testified that last night
ibout 11 J o'clock Fletcher and; the two
prisoners at the bar were together near the1
corner of Dock and Front streets.
The two seemed to be trying
t get Fletcher to go aboard as
one of them said, so he paid not much
attention to them, I supposing they were
friend?; but shortly after they had passed
down Front street and he had turned
towards Water street, heard cries of fire,
murder and scforth; returning he saw two
men coming running, whom with the!
assistance of officer Wadkins he after
wards arrested and found to be the same
parlies whom he had a short time before
3en with the man Fletcher. One of tit
prisoners, Jones, seemed very indignant
about his arrest and claimed that he
knew the law and the rights of a citizen,
but could not be induced to talk about
the man whom tt)e two had just been in
company with. The witness testified that
ofJScer Wadkim and himself then brought
the arrested parties to the Guard House and
locked them up. Officer Wadkins being
called to the stand corroborated this
testimony in regard to the part he bore
in the arrest. , -
Three doliars and ten cents in money
were found in possession of Jas. Jones
who declared it was money that he had
been paid off with jon his jressel, the
schooner Jennie F. Willey, list night.
This defendant further stated that last
night was the first time he had left his'
vessel since she arrived m port, some three
weeks ago. The! other defendant, James
Mclntire, has been in the city some thee
weeks, he stated, waiting to get a ship;
came bere from Charleston. The Mayor,
j
reserved his decision rand the prisoners
were remanded to their
cell. James
Fletcher is held as a witness in the case.
A Water Street grocery merchant vf as
arraigned upon a warrant for non-payment
of license tax, and also for failure to ap
pear at the City Court yesterday in obedi
ence to summons. Tne defendant ren
dered excuse that he mistook5 the hour,
when the fine of $5 .00 which had been
entered s against him was remitted,
and he .was released upon payment
of the costs, and producing City Treasur
er's receipt for hack taxes. The Court
then adjourned.
More Robbery.
Thieves have again visited Capt. S. W.
Nobles, who lives just a few mtlesout of
the city on the old Newbern road. This
time they carried off a lot of geese and
some fodder. Capt. Nobles saysjthat the
thieves are as severe on bilk and persons
living In his vicinity as the old Moonlight
Club was; j
lfa?lstrate's Court-
Isaac Baker, colored, was arraigned
before Justice Millia this forenoon for an
assault and battery upon John John sen.
colored. Judgment was BHspended upon
payment of costs.
James Baker, 1 colore J, before the same
Justice's Court, was arraigned for as
sault and battery upon the same defend
ant above-named. Judgmen, was scs
pended upon payment of costs.
- - Tiie Twins.
Isaac Baker and James, j his brother
who are better knew o as "The Twins"
have again been in trouble, bit this time
it was in the Magistrate's Court that they
figured instead of the City Court, the
charge being assault and battery. Judg
ment was suspended and thej i ere re
leased upon payment of costs.
