got Voting, &c.
The nolfoe succeeded in arresting a considerable
number of sneak thieves on election day, many of
whom had come from New 'York for the purpose of
voting often," and robbing people generally when
ever a chance should turn up. Eighteen of the
thieves were arrested ; but aimed at many more,
finding they bad 'been "spotted," evaded the vig,i•
lance of the officers and red to obscurity. On .
Tuesday night the party made a desperate'attempt
to break from the - lock-up at the Central Station,
which fact was itemized in the Press yesterday.
During yesterday morning they amused themselves
in the cells by singing all sorts of songs, and occa
sionally giving a cheer for Woodward. Blasphe
mous and obscene language was freely used, and
songs were' sung. Thus, the subterranean part of
the Central Station presented a scene that would
be more fitting the region of. Pandemonium. At
the public hearing yesterday there was some
dence that implicated a couple of well-known,
characters with the "crowd," as will be seen in its_
proper place in the proceedings.
Will. B. Mann, the District Attorney, appeared
for the Commonwealth. Mayor Henry was present.
The portion allotted to the public was pretty well
crammed with people, many of whom were thieves,
policy dealers; gamblers, and professional baffigoers.
At two o'clock the pollee officers - brought in the
first batch of prisoners, who_gave the following
names, they being professional,' of course:
James S. Smith John Herrick, Thomas Hughes,
John Carpenter,'John Rapp, Chas. Makin, James
Melon, Elijah Kelly, John Burk, John Dolan, Thos.
Thompson, John Gibson, Henry Palmer, James Lit
tle, Daniel Malby, Chas. Thackara, Joseph Koper,
and Joseph Ahern.
The prisoners being arraigned, Mr. Osborne, the
'turnkey of the lookup, was called to the stand. He
knew nothing of the arrests, nor anything_about the
emetic that took place in the cell on the night before.
- Officer Crout was called. On being sworn, he
testified that the prisoners were confined in one of
the large cells in the Central Station; the cell was
in good order when they were put into :it; the
•prisoners broke out all the glass and some of the
woodwork, and made clubs of the latter ; some one
of the prisoners fired two or three shots from the
cell ; there was not a glass that, was not broken ;
the cell was dark, and the party were uproarious,
calling us —, daring us to come in ; the Chief came
down, and ordered In to go in and quell the dis
turbance; we opened the door, and in a moment one
of the officers received a severe cut over the eye from
a dirk in the hands of one of the parties ; they used
the clubs they had made out of, pieces of ;wood
work ; we finally took them out ono by one, and
locked them in other cells; we found a revolving
pistol in the bole of the heater ; we found a dirk
scabbard on the cell floor ; we found one leaden ball
that fitted the pistol (the weaponwas produced)
these, prisoners are the ones who occupied the cell
that was torn out.
Daniel Malby, one of the prisoners, with his head
bandaged. was told to standup.
"Where do you live?" asked the District Attor
ne y.
"In Trout street," (Pine alley.)
' "Do you board therel"
" No, sir ; I keep house."
' 6 Take your seat, sir."
A. fraudulent tax receipt was found on him when
he was arrested. It was produced and closely exa
mined by the District Attorney.
Lieut. F. Cl. Hampton sworn.—l arrested one of
the men ; he had upon him two revolvers, one fully
loaded; the other had two chambers discharged ; the
man I arrested gives his name as Thomas Skuse ; I
arrested him at Sixth and Vine streets ; he was
with five or six, others they had been at Fourth
and Chestnut streets ;: I piped them to Sixth and
Vine streets; Skim said he had just come from New
York. and was on his way back.
J. P. Young sworn.—l am proprietor of the West
ern Hotel ; a large party came to my house some
time between ten and eleven o'clock Monday night ;
there were twenty.three men in the party; I recog
nize one of the men among the prisoners ; he gave
the name of Carpenter ; gentleman "came to my
house and engaged lodgings for them ; don't know
the gentleman • I gave the men their supper ; did
not hear anybody call the man by name who had en
gaged lodging for them ; the whole party were stran
gers to me; none of them indicated their business ;
they said they intended to stay only until the next
night ; I asked them how about my bill, and they
paid me ten dollars ; in the morning they left my
house—not all together—one or two at a time
somebody called for them. in the morning ; don't
know who it was that called ; don't know that any
'ing was stolen from the hotel ; believe that one
or two sheets were missed, but don't think they took
them ; I have not got my registry book with me.
The Dietrict, Attorney requested him to go and
get it.
Win. Allen sworn.—l board at the Western Hotel;
on Monday night, about half past ten o'clock, while
I was sitting in the bar-room, Alderman McMullin
came in and asked if some boarders could be accom
modated, after which he went away, and in a short
time Sam Carson came in with the men ; Mr.
Young's son was there, and he was a little surprised
at so many coming, and called his father; after Car
eon had staid a little while, he went away, but I did
not see him return again.
Mr. Bartholomew, detective, testified that from
information received went to the Western Hotel
on election morning ; I copied the names, from the
registry book, of the party who took lodgings there
the night before [here he read the names] ; about
one half of them registered themselves as coming
from Princeton, N. S., and the remainder from New
York..
officer Dixon identified Smith and Carpenter as
two men whom he had seen at the hotel in company
with the crowd in the morning, as I was coming
from in eakfast. •
. .
Dlr. Young, the proprietor of the hotel, now re
appeared with his registry book, which he handed
to District Attorney. Mann. ,
