that the defendant was in the back room of a

he (witness) had a suspicion thai defendant
meant mischief, and so he looked cautious

Murphy when he cut the guard and took
the prosecutor's watch. It was also in evi

the trunk, with part of the clothing, was
subsequently recovered at the house of one
Beetta Usher, colored, about the distance of
a block from the house from which it was
stolen. The Usher girl, when arrested,
charged Hannah Lewis, -another colored
girl, with bringing the trunk to her house,
while Hannah Lewis, declared that Beetta
Usher and herself went to Hooper's house
together and together captured and bore
away the trunk.

The Demands Upon n. Garfield.
A gentleman of this city, . having noticed
the suggestion of theJWashington iW.as-it
appeared in our last issue, to the effect that
Mrs. Garfield might s be induced to give of
her abundance in aid of. a certain worthy
charity, has shown us a private letter from
a member of the late President's family.
which shows that Mrs. Garfield has been
subjected to almost constant importunities
for aid, of one sort or another, ever since
her husband's death and that, while she is
disposed to do all ther rood she can in a
quiet way,' it would be ah'e'ffort of no little
magnitude for her to ' attempt to meet one-
tenth of the demands upon her. It i hoped
the suggestion : ot Coh Waddell may be
carried out, and a handsome- subscription
secured in Washington for tiie' benefit of
Mrs. Sneeden. It would be better still,
however, if a special pension could be ob
tained from Congress to meet his case.
By the way, since the above Was written
we learn that Mr. Sneeden has a petition,
already quite numerously signed, asking for
an appointment as messenger in teTreasu
ry Department at Washington; and ; it is
thouit very hkely he will get the position.
