Edward Baucam, alias Charlea Davis, and J. Green, alias John Merrick, were the first names called by the Clerk of th City Court this morning harge; Forci ble trespass upon the premises of the to Jbacco factory, located on Chestnut, near the corner of Seventh street, last night about the hour ef 10 o'clock. Tbos. Pur year, colored, the first witness called, W6 tifibd in effect1 that on returning to tnib city from a trip to South Carolina some days ago, he with another colored mau who was bis companion, met the two per sons at the bar on the road, and from them received a proposition to organize themselves into a band of thieves, or highwaymen, for the purpose of foraging on all whom they encountered up on the i highway in their travel that either from fear or a desire not to incur any tromblt, they yielded passive assent to the proposition, and that soon the four encountered a tramp, whom Green, alias Merrick, proposed to kill and i rob, but that he, Puryear, and his com panion, whose nam6 was Tbally succeed ed in persuading Merrick and his com panion from their cold blooded intent, on the ground that the' tramp only had three handkerchiefs and they wer'nt worth killing a man for; that upon arriving in this city he and his companion were continually beset by Merrick and his companion to make a raid or commit some depredation upon some one's prop erty for the purpose of plunder; that finally he informed upon them, wher. a jl trap was arranged to catch them entering the Tobacco Factory last night. Wot Thally, colored, the next witness, corroborated what Puryear had said, only he stated that his home was in Virginia and that he worked at the Factory. Constable Carr, who ia employed as a private detective for the city, was next called to the stand, and testified ia substance, that the two witnesses who had preceded him had informed against the two prisoners at the bar, theirdesigns, evil intent, and so forth, to rob, and that i he arranged the plan .with Puryear and Thally, by which they were all to break into the Tooacco Factory last night. The witness then . detailed the arrangement, which was about as follows : A certain window on the street was 1? ft unfastened, and the two men, Puryear and Thally, were to lead those other men, Davis and Merrick, there f jr the purp an of entering the factory lo rob nd steal; Iu the mean time he ('.he witless) with Mr, Meadows the superintendent j aud omoers Woebse, Gordon and Moore, of the police force, remained iu the office of the factory ready to watch and pounce on the thieves as . i soon as they effected an entrance. About 10 o'cock he heard them enter rnd sent , i the policemen around to prevent their es jcape from the window, while he went in and secured th? pfiscmprs, bj hand cuffiug th?m. ' j Officer Woebse testified that last night he was with Constable Carr and Officers i ' Gordon an i Moore in the office of the -t . ' tobacco factory waiting and matching, when a few minutes before 10 o'clock he i beard a Iqw signal whistle and a voice - I " i- which "hollered all right;' that wi'h Officers Gordon and Moore he then raa around to the window after the parties had gone iu, that Thally, one of the col- ored witnesses, who was left outside ; by the thieves to watch tor the oolica. came up to them and tuid them to look out for the big' one, mean ng Merrick, for he had two razors about bim. Officer Woebse then got in at the wiudow and Gons.r(able Carr, who bad already gone in, put had cuffs on the ssaallcit prisoner, and was looking around for Merrick, when he (Woebse) finally discovered him stowed away under a bench. He was told to come cut, which he did when tbe' hWd- caff3 Wore pat upoo-hiiii also,' an J both prisoner taken to the Guard Houif, ! Officer Gordon, being calied to tba stand, corroboratsd oSi;er Woeb?'s tet;- mony, and sdded (bayt he earthed tba prisoners, after they reached - the guard room and found on tbe larger of the two prisoners, two razor, one ol which w is concealed in bis bjot-leg, between his drawers, and the other in his bieaat pock, et. The smaller of the twey the witness stated, had no weapons of any kind bi it him. Mr, Meadows, aperiuteJdeai oi the factory, was theu cailed to the stand and testified to the good character of tue two witnesses, Tnoi Puryear and Wm Toally, Mr. Meadows stated that these llflEW. FRIDAY, MARCH two men came here . with bim from his county and that their character for truth and honesty good.- This closed the casa and the Mayor bound the "defen dants each over to tbe next term of the Criminal Court in tbe sum of $250 bond hu1 j. Green, alias John Merrick, in the additional sum of -$50 -for carrying con cea'ed Weapoos, in default of which thtj were botb committed to jail. James Baker, colored.one of the twin?; was next calied up, charged with assault and battery in Kiiav Fink's ialon tn the hart iu the iwighborho 'd of Paddys BoU'iw last , T.iht. 'Th Mayor found jiiiltjnieut ofS5 line ur . ten days in the U 'P. bwt tbje iefendant pleaded hard with Hits H nor, telling hirn that "this is Jim Baker "not Isaac, ' (Isaac is. the other twiu.) The Mayor finally relented arid let Jim off with the costs. Tucker Townseud, a small coired lad, was arraigned for disorderly conduct, but released and told to go and siu no more. This exhausted tbe docket and l be Court adjourned.! ' In the examination of witnesses con- I j - cerniog the breaking in at the tobacco factory there was no -one to make a cross examination, sj a Heview reporter bad to interview a few of the police officers afterwards in order to glean a few addi tional facts, which are as follows. Cap tain Brock, Chief of Police, told us that Mr. Meadows came to him night before last with the information which the colored witnesses, Thos. Puryear and Wm. Thally, had given him, Meadows, in regard to the prisoners Davis and Merrick and their designs and desires to plunder, rob and so forth, telling him further that they were afraid to refuse these men for fear of their lives. Captain Brock then sent for Constable Carr and when he arrived the plan for the trap of the thieves at the tobacco factory was hatched out. : In conversation witfi Officer Gordon af ter the trial he told us that as soon as the thieves entered the window and he and Officers Moore and Woebse had stationed themselves outside of the window, that Constable Qajr turned on bis dark lan tern from the office, which revealed th thieves to the policemen, when, seeing they were discovered, the rasoals made tor the opea window to get out again, but they found the muzzle of two large navy repeaters in the hands of Officers Woebt t and Gordon poking right in their faces; discovering this the detected thieves ex claimed, 'ali right boss, all right boss, just please don't shoot, don't shoot!" while thoir knees quaked ahd rattled to gether like a telegraph instrument.
