An Alleged Itebbery—The Accused Ar- .
- rested and Discharged. • -
noticed in yesterdny morning's
Gazette, the fact that Le B. ielley had been
taken tkia 4 limilke alt. - Ail - 6 1 6i robbed of
sixty dollars, also the arrest of ,Thomas
Devine, alleged to be one of the, par
ties'irh'o riSliefed him of his money. 'Yes-'
terday Ed McGann and James Brightmore,
ids alleged'accomplices, were arrested, and
in company, with Devine taken before
Alderman Osten for a hearing. Thepros
,„ bonier- told a straight forward story relative
"- - ; , .t0 the matter, which was in substance as
'H e came te the city Wednesday
night,about eleveno'clock, on the emigrant
..„Atalit', Pennsylvania Railroad, from Turtle
- ere k ndwent to the Rush House to pro
cure supper and lodgings . The clerk .in
formed hint that their beds were all
fall, and directed him td the St. Law.
started for . the St.
retied Hotel.- He
LaWrence r and on the way. met Devine, on
Canal street,- who Accompanied him.
H e failed 'to ' get itecomtnodations
there, when-Devine proposed to take him
to the Eagle Hotel, and he consented to go.
They had proceeded but a'short distance
when they came to a wagon in which there
were three men, a German and two others.
Devine msisted,tupOn him getting in the
wagon to ride to the hotel. He complied
and the Germarovas put out at-the corner
of Peon and Canal streets.' - Instead of
taking him to 'tlfe — hotel - they drove
to Fanny , Splane's, in Miltenberger's
alley, where the wagon was stoppod
and Devine got off and knocked at
• the door;.openedit ant i ' Went in, he and
McGann tollowing, while Bright ' more re
mained behind. As soon as he entered
the house Devine demanded five dollars,
Which he refused to pay. McGann then
took hold of him and told him that he
must pay it, and the sooner he done so the
!t ;better. He still refused,' but said rather
than have a difficulty lie would pay them
three dollars, which they agreed to take.
He drew his pocket book from his pocket
which contained two ~5 4 20 bills, one $lO, a $5,
and .$5 in sniaW bills, Making in all $6O.
As soon as he exhibited the money, Mc-
Gann snatched it from him and left the
house. He returned to the Rush House,
and made this.statement,, when, an officer,
who, it 'appears; savrlilm get in the wagon,
requested him to keep quiet and he would
get the man who had taken his money.
This statement was made under oath, in a
clear, unequivocal manner, notwithstand
. , big ,he-wae severely erase-questioned by
two lawyers, one of whom so far forgot the'
dignity of his calling as to not only
be• impertinent but - actually rude
with - tneo witness. -The officer who
made the arrest was sworn and
corroborated the prosecutor's statement as
US getting in the wagon, and testified that
lie, the prosecutor, had related to him the
night previous substantially the same
story. This wars the else of the Common
wealth, and it seems to us was sufficient to
warrant the derman in holding the ae.
cased fortrial. Al
But he did not think so, and
dischttrged them.- The defense introduced
the testimony of Fanny Splane and one of
her: girls, who, we believe; swore that the
accused did not take the money from the
prosecutor, to the best of their knowledge.
Such evidence miglit be admissible, but
we think it of II decidedly negatiVe charac
ter. A thou-sand witnesses' might , have
been produced who could have sworn just
as they (lid.
We do not say the accused were guilty of
the robbery; nor is it in the power of a
police magistrate to determine the guilt or
crime of a prisoner. If he finds in tho
evidence a probability of guilt, it is his
duty to return tbe'case to Court, where a
. jury shall determine whether the accused
is innocent or guilty. We are of the opinion
that had this case gone before a grand jury,
where the Commonwealth alone is heard,
they would have undoubtedly found a true
bill against the defendants for robbery, or
would have indicted the prosecutor for
perjury. He swore positively to the corn
mission of the offense, identified the parties,
and was corroborated in at least a portion
of his testimony by the officer who made
the arrest. Yet the accused were discharged
on purely negative testimony.
The Patent Lock Dodge.
The cool impudence with which some
scoundrels conduct their nefiariousschemes,
for robbing unsuspecting and ignorant men
of their money, is really reniarkable, and
how they manage to escape arrest and pun
ishment ,is -passing stzunte. i. ,, At almost
any iiour of the day," or night, a gang of
thieving scamps may be seen, at a point on
St. Clair street between Penn street and the
bridge, using all manner of means to fleece
their" Vbictimsi out of their' hard earned
cash. A fa - Vorite game with them is the
"patent lock," which is well calculated to
"take in" the unwary. The thief, we
cau call him by no other name, supplieS
himself with - two locks, one of which is
qriite_easilymened,,,whiie the z other oneis

The Soldiers , Monument
At the last meeting of the Executive
Committee of the Soldiers' Monument
,As
sociation it was resolved to have the monu
ment erected in the Cemetery, and Mr.
Chislett was 'authorized to advertise for
the erectiowof the monument in accord
ance with the design adopted. The selec
tion of the Cemetery, as a place for a public
monument, appeared to us at .the time
rather novel, and we yet fail to see the
propriety of it. Weretomb or a vault,
'in which to deposit the bones of the heroic
dead whose: memory, the monument is in
tended to perpetuate, the Cemetery would
be an appropriate place for it, but it is cer
tainly not-n very suitable place for a monu
ment. The object- of the monument is not
alone to commemorate, the fallen heroes,
but while that is the main object to be
attained, we desire , to give an expression
of our appreciation of their noble
services, to the world, and should
therefore place the monument in that
place most easy of access, where it will at
tract the most attention, and where it will
be most visited. If this is not one of the
principal objects, a plain slab with the
names of those in whose memory it is
erected carved upon it would answer the
purpose.' The action Of the Committee in
selecting the Cemetery meets with almost
general disapproval, - and a meeting has
been called this afternoon at two o'clock,
when if possible that action will be recon
sidered. We have no suggestions to make
as to where it should be placed, so that it is
kept out of grave yards. We, in common
with all mankind, have a horror for grave
vards, cemeteries, and all other places of
burial,u and never visit them only when
necessity requires it. We3iope thetlonunit
tee will reconsider the matter.
Death of an Aged Minister.

Amusements....:
PROF. TETEDOIIVS - COiCTERT. The
second concert given by Mr. Tetedoux last
evening at the Academyof Music was very
fairly attended in point of number& The
audience presented a brilliant assemblage
of the fashionable Mid 'cultivated people of
the city, who recognized by the hearty ap
plause the decided merit of their varied . en- -
tertaininent offered to'them. It would be
invidious to particularize, Where all the
amateursingers ,accitdtted themselves so
well, and it as quite unnecessary to com
mend the vocalization of iSi'lle De Las
san whose high reputation as an artiste has
been already signalized iby so ! many
professional triumphs. The gratifica
tion of an appreciative iaudienec was
attested by. repeated, encores, which
were
_gracefully and promptly respondOd
to. •We niust be perrnitted to congratulate
Mr. TetedOux upon the extrdinary sue- ,
cess as annstrnetor which - as exhibited
in the proficiency of his pupils, to the
young lades and gentlemen who have in
these twooncerts contribu ed so much to
the welfare of the music-loying people of
ir
the city, this sincere acknowledgment of
their discriminating and delighted audi
ences are due.
..
OPERA HousE.—blr, Edwin Forest closed
his engagement at this place of amusement
last eVening, appearing to Nor advantage
in "Damon and Pythias," before a respect..
ably large audience,. Ills engagement, so
far as the pecuniary interests of the man
agement was concerned, was a success, but
in every other way it was a dee;ded failure.
Perhaps, had the famous old tragedian re
ceived support from a less brilliant (f) stock
company than that which flumes the
boards of the Opera }louse, his defects as an
actor would not have been so glaringly ap
parent. to those critically disposed, while
his few redeeming merits might have ad
vantageously - shone forth to sustain the
reputation he onco enjoyed. Should he
ever come back this way let him not be
heralded as th greatest living tragedian,
unless, indeed,' a large e number of his con
temporaries for public favor precede him
into the dark shadow of death.
THE OLD MEATRE.—Leo Hudson, With
her trained horse Black Bess, has been
drawing- very large houses at the "Old
Drury.' She is vivacious, and to those
- who can appreciate sprightly acting, mus
cular development and sensational dramas,
highlyinteresting. Her horse is mai'Vel
lously well trained. A good Saturday night
bill is offered.
BtrnsELL's MusEty3t.—The attendance at
thli place of entertainment and instruction
has been quite I Argo, and new curiosities

Worthy of Note.
1 The high terms in which experienced
business men speak of the system of prao.
tical business education pursued at the
Iron City College: the largo number of
students who attend there; and the well
known efficiency of its graduates, show
that it is a great advance upon the :old
methods of instruction. In it theory and
practice are so combined as to secure the
most complete results of an educational
process. There is no doubt but every indi
vidual in the community would be greatly
benefitted by a course of study and busi
ness training in this institution. For par

the method pursued, we refer our read

' The Munson Lightning Rod.
MASSACHUSETTS AORICULT'L COLLEGE,
ABiazitsT, MA*., March 4, 1868. 5
GENTLEMEN—I regard the Munson Cop
per Tubular Lightning Rod superior to any
other before the public. It is a better con
ductor, and less liable to fail from any cause,
to, carry safely to the earth an electric dis
charge than an iron rod six times the size.
It is firmly united so as to form a continuous
conductor, and from its lightness and plia
bility is, when fastened to buildings, much
less likely to break the insulators and get
out of place than ft heav - y rod. By order of
our Board the Munson Rod has been attach
ed to the six buildings of the State Ag. ricul
tural College. W. S. CLARK, President.
